Hello,
- Your Cost of Good Sold would be Sales-Cogs=Gross Profit so 10,000,000-2,000,000=8,000,000
I rearranged the formula to be Sales - Gross Profit = Cost of Goods Sold
if 8,000,000 is Cost of Goods Sold We ca infer that that is comprised of
4M Direct Materials, 1.5M Labour, and the rest is Factor OH of 2.5M (Calculated by Cogs-DM-DL=2.5)
Nest FOH is 2.5 then 2 is Fixed OH and .5 is VOH for Sell&Admin we also need to find the total of fixed and variable.
Sales -Cogs = Gross profit -S&A=Net Loss
10-8=2-X=(.5) Solve for X we get 2.5 so then S&A is 2.5 with 1 of Fixed S&A and 1.5 of VS&A
then to turn it into the contribution margin format
Sales- Variable expense =CM-Fixed expenses = Net Loss
Total Variable Expenses = DM + DL + VS&A+VFoh = 7.5
Total Fixed Exp = Fixed FOH and Fixed S&A = 3
So we have the rest of the numbers
10-7.5 (Variable Exp)=2.5(Contribution Margin)-3 (Fixed S&A, and OH) = 0.5 net loss
notice that no matter which way you calculate it you still get the 0.5 net loss.
To find Break Even in Shillings
Take your Contribution Margin/Sales = .25 or 25%
Not take your Fixed Costs / 25% = 12,000,000 units
