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
