3. From the following information, find out minimum FOB price to be quoted on no profit or no loss basis. What will be the profit or loss is a price of Rs. 31,000 FOB is quoted. Ex factory cost Rs. 32,000, expenses up to boarding into the ship Rs. 6,000, DBK 5% of FOB price.
SOLUTION:
Remember, while calculating quotation prices, the seller obligation points should be purely considered. Expenses incurred by the exporter for sending the goods to the importer should form a part of the quotation. An exporter has to recover (from the importer) all that he has spent to send the goods to the importer.
Part I - Calculation of FOB price at zero profit zero loss.
FORMULA
"FOB price = Cost of goods + Expenses up to boarding goods into the ship + Profit Margin - Export Incentives"
Let the FOB price be 'x'
On applying the above formula, we get
x = 32,000 + 6,000 + Zero - 5% of x
x + 0.05x = 38,000
1.05x = 38,000
x = 38,000 / 1.05
x = 36,190
Therefore, minimum FOB price that can be quoted at no profit no loss is Rs. 36,190/-
Part II - Calculation of profit or loss at an FOB price of Rs. 31,000/-
Let profit / loss be 'x'
FOB price = Cost of goods + Expenses up to boarding goods into the ship + Profit - Export Incentives
31,000 = 32,000 + 6,000 + x - (5% of 31,000)
31,000 = 32,000 + 6,000 + x - 1,550
x = 5,450
Therefore, if FOB quotation is 31,000/-, the exporter will have to incur a loss of Rs. 5,450/-
