Report Budget
costing is helpful for measurement of profitability of different lines of
production.
Standard Marginal Uniform Actual
Fixed cost divided is equal to Break Even Point.
Contribution per unit Profit per unit
Sales per unit Cost per unit
If P/V ration is 25% and fixed cost Rs.35,000 then break even sales are

1,50,000 70,000 8,750 1,40,000
