Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • Marginal cost is the change in total cost that 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z"/> Subscribe on YouTube
arises when the quantity produced changes by one unit. It is calculated by dividing the change in total cost by the change in quantity produced.
  • P/V ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to sales. It is calculated by dividing contribution margin by sales.
  • Contribution is the amount of revenue that remains after variable costs have been deducted. It is calculated by subtracting variable costs from sales.
  • Profit is the amount of revenue that remains after all costs have been deducted. It is calculated by subtracting total costs from sales.
  • The following is the solution to the matching exercise:

    List-I | List-II
    ——- | ——–
    a. Marginal cost | 2. Contribution = Selling price – Variable costs
    b. P/V ratio | 1. Margin of safety = Sales ÷ P/V ratio
    c. Profit | 3. Profit = Sales (1 – P/V ratio)
    d. Variable costs | 4. Contribution margin = Sales – Variable costs
