  • Sect 5 Cost-volume-profit relationships.
  • Using CVP analysis, managers would be able to get
    information to use in decision-making relating
    to
  • How profits are affected by a change in costs.
  • What effect a change in sales volume will have on
    profit.
  • The profit that is expected from a certain sales
    volume.
  • How many units need to be sold to achieve a
    targeted profit.
  • At what output of production will the income and
    costs be the same.
  • Setting selling prices.
  • Selecting the mix of products to sell.

  • Cost analysis for planning, control and
    decision-making.
  • Cost analysis for planning.
  • Planning is the management process of identifying
    and quantifying the goals of the organisation.
  • Strategic planning involves an identification of
    the long-term goals and drawing up plans to
    achieve them.
  • A budget is a plan in financial terms that
    extends for a period in the future.
  • Budgeting process. The first step in the
    budgeting process is to develop and communicate a
    set of broad assumptions about the economy,
    the industry and the entitys strategy for the
    budget period.
  • The operating budget is a collection of related
    budgets comprising the sales forecast (or revenue
    budget), the purchase/production budget, the
    operating expense budget, the income statement
    budget, the cash budget, and the budgeted balance
    sheet. The operating budget is also called the
    master budget.

39
  • Cost analysis for decision making.
  • Net Present Value
  • The difference between the market value of a
    project and its cost.
  • How much value is created from undertaking an
    investment?
  • The first step is to estimate the expected future
    cash flows.
  • The second step is to estimate the required
    return for projects of this risk level.
  • The third step is to find the present value of
    the cash flows and subtract the initial
    investment. This is to determine whether the
    project is viable.
  • Computing NPV for the Project
  • You are looking at a new project and you have
    estimated the following cash flows
  • Year 0 CF -165,000 (original investment)
  • Year 1 CF 63,120
  • Year 2 CF 70,800
  • Year 3 CF 91,080
  • Your required return for assets of this risk is
    12.
  • Using the formulas NPV

NPV 63,120/(1.12) 70,800/(1.12)2
91,080/(1.12)3 165,000 12,627.42
40
Another way of determining NPV is as follows
Year Cash Flow PV
1 63,120.00 56,363.39
2 70,800.00 56,453.16
3 91,080.00 64,845.76

NPV _at_ 12 177,662.91
Original Investment -165,000.00
NPV 12,662.91
  • Decision rule.
  • If the NPV is positive, accept the project. A
    positive NPV means that the project is expected
    to add value to the firm and will therefore
    increase the wealth of the owners.
  • Since our goal is to increase owner wealth, NPV
    is a direct measure of how well this project will
    meet our goal.
  • So, do we accept or reject the project?
  • NPV is positive at 12 - we can accept the
    investment!

41
  • Internal Rate of Return
  • Internal rates of return (IRR).
  • This is the most important alternative to NPV.
  • It is often used in practice and is intuitively
    appealing.
  • It is based entirely on the estimated cash flows
    and is independent of interest rates found
    elsewhere.
  • Definition IRR is the return that makes the NPV
    0.
  • Another way of putting it is that the IRR is the
    discount rate that equates the PV of cash inflows
    with the initial investment associated with the
    project.
  • Decision Rule Accept the project if the IRR is
    greater than the required return.

42
Example The management of Tiger Engineering are
considering the following investment project. The
following data is available Cost of plant and
equipment 60 000 Salvage value nil Expected
profit/loss Yr 1 (15 000) Yr 2 10

  • Quick example.
  • Suppose an investment will cost 90,000 initially
    and will generate the following cash flows
  • Year 1 132,000
  • Year 2 100,000
  • Year 3 -150,000

EC Industrials manufactures a product, Brainagra
that sells for R126 each. The cost of producing
and selling 240 000 units are estimated as
follows Variable costs per unit Direct
materials R30 Direct labour R18 Factory
overhead R12 Selling and administrative
expenses R15 R75 Fixed costs Factory
overheads R3 200 000 Selling and
administrative expenses R1 200 000 In the
current year, to date 180 000 units were
manufactured and sold. An additional 45 000 units
are expected to be sold on the domestic market
during the remainder of the year. EC Industrials
received an offer from Namibia Wholesalers for 12
000 units of Brainagra at R84 each. Namibia
Wholesalers will market the product in Namibia
with its own name brand and no additional
expenses will be incurred by EC Industrials. The
sale to Namibia Wholesalers is not expected to
affect domestic sales of the product and the
additional units could be produced during the
current year using excess capacity. As the
Marketing Manager you are requested to make a
decision to either accept or reject the above
proposal and to motivate the decision you have
made. (15)
47
A comparison of the sales offer of R84 with the
selling price of R126 indicates that the offer
should be rejected. EC Industrials, however, has
excess capacity and the focus should be on the
relevant cost, which is the variable cost. The
difference in the profit from accepting the offer
is calculated as follows Differential Revenue
from accepting the offer 12 000 units _at_ R84 R
1 008 000 Differential cost by accepting the
offer 12 000 units _at_ R60 (R30 R18 R12) (R
720 000) Differential profit from accepting the
offer 288 000 The offer should
therefore be accepted.

  • Since we know the NPV is positive and above zero,
    although by a small margin, pick a higher
    discount rate e.g. 13 (Trial and error is used
    to obtain the higher rate).

Payback Period

For project A, which is an annuity, the payback
period is 3.0 years. Since project B generates a
mixed stream of cash inflows, the calculation of
the payback period is not quite as clear cut. In
year 1 the firm will recover R28, 000 of its
initial investment. In yr 2 R40, 000 will be
recovered (28k 12k). At the end of year 3, R50,
000 will be recovered. Since the amount received
at the end of year 3 is greater than the initial
investment, the payback period is somewhere
between 2 3 years. Only R5, 000 must be
recovered during year 3. However R10, 000 was
recovered. Thus the payback period is 2.5yrs
(2yrs R5, 000/10, 000). If the maximum
acceptable payback period is 2.75yrs, project A
would be rejected and project B accepted.

  • Analysis and interpretation of financial
    statements.
  • Ratio analysis consists of five major categories,
    namely
  • Liquidity ratios which indicate the ability of
    the organization to meet its short-term
    obligations.
  • Profitability ratios which express the
    effectiveness of the company in earning profits
    and return on capital invested.
  • Financial leverage ratios which show the
    relative extent to which capital employed has
    been provided by shareholders and providers of
    debt.
  • Market ratios which reflect the performance of
    the share price on the stock exchange and the
    implications for the shareholders of that share.
  • Efficiency ratios reflect the management ability
    of the company with regard to its turnover and
    working capital. This is also known as Activity
    Ratios.

56
  • The three basic measures of liquidity are
  • Net working capital CA CL
  • Current ratio CA/CL
  • Quick (acid-test) ratio CA inventory / CL

57
  • Activity ratios.
  • i) Inventory T/O Cost of goods sold / Inventory
  • Fixed asset Turnover Sales / Net fixed assets
  • Accounts receivable T/O Ann cr sales / Accs
    rec
  • iv) Ave collection period A/cs rec / Ave sales
    per day
  • (A/cs rec / Ann sales)/360

58
  • Profitability ratios.
  • i) Gross prof margin Sales cost of goods sold
    / sales gross profs / sales
  • ii) Operating prof margin EBIT / Sales
  • Operating profs / Sales
  • iii) Return on Total Assets (ROA) Net profs
    after tax / owners equity
  • iv) Return on Equity (ROE) Net profs after
    taxes / Owners equity
  • v) Earnings per share (EPS) Earnings available
    for common shareholders / no of shares of common
    stock outstanding

59
4) Leverage ratios. i) Debt ratio Tot
liabilities / tot assets ii) Debt-to-equity
ratio Long-term debt / owners equity iii)
Times interest earned ratio EBIT /
Interest iv) Fixed-payment coverage ratio
EBIT lease payments / int lease payments
((principal payments pref
