Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Total contribution = ₦600,000 + ₦900,000 + ₦500,000 = ₦2,000,000. P/V ratio = Total contribution ÷ Total sales revenue = ₦2,000,000 ÷ ₦10,000,000 = 20%. The P/V ratio measures the proportion of each naira of sales that contributes to fixed costs and profit. The other options arise from including or excluding fixed costs incorrectly.
