what is the meaning of P/V Ratio?

Answer Posted / jacobjijimon

The sales and marginal costs vary directly with the number
of units sold or produced. So, the difference between sales
and marginal cost, i.e. contribution, will bear a relation
to sales and the ratio of contribution to sales remains
constant at all levels. This is profit volume or P/V ratio.
Thus, p/v ratio = contribution /sales x100
