Is this the unit with Contributions and PV Ratios?
If so, I made up a silly saying which began with each formulas starting letter, it was Chloe Buys Pink Biscuits Mum Makes Them (said it was silly but my daughter Chloe loves pink biscuits!!) Then I recorded the formulaes onto my telephone and listened to them over the course of the weekend and I found I had managed to retain the information.
This is what the acronym was for;
C Contribution = Selling Price per Unit-Variable Costs per Unit
B Breakeven in Units = Fixed Costs/Contribution
P PV Ratio = Contribution/Sales Price
B Breakeven In Revenue = Fixed Costs/PV Ratio
M Margin of Safety In Units = Forecast - Breakeven
M Margin of Safety % = Margin of Safety in Units/Forecast x 100
T Target Profit = Fixed Costs + Target Profit/Contribution
As soon as I got to my exam I wrote the CBPBMMT onto a bit of paper and found I could easily remember all of the formulas.
Might not work for everyone, but worked for me!
Hope it helps!!!!
