COST-VOLUME-PROFIT ANALYSIS
2
Questions Addressed byCost-Volume-Profit Analysis
  • CVP analysis is used to answer questionssuch
    as
  • How much must I sell to earn my desired income?
  • How will income be affectedif I reduce selling
    prices toincrease sales volume?
  • What will happen toprofitability if I
    expandcapacity?

3
Total Fixed Cost
Total fixed costs remain unchangedwhen activity
changes.
Monthly Basic Telephone Bill
Your monthly basictelephone bill probablydoes
not change whenyou make more local calls.
Number of Local Calls
4
Fixed Cost Per Unit
  • Fixed costs per unit decline as activity
    increases.

Monthly Basic Telephone Bill per Local Call
Your average cost perlocal call decreases
asmore local calls are made.
Number of Local Calls
5
Total Variable Cost
Total variable costs change when activity changes.
Total Long DistanceTelephone Bill
Your total long distancetelephone bill is
basedon how many minutesyou talk.
Minutes Talked
6
Variable Cost Per Unit
  • Variable costs per unit do not changeas
    activity increases.

Per MinuteTelephone Charge
The cost per long distanceminute talked is
constant.For example, 10cents per minute.
Minutes Talked

Cost Behavior Summary
8
Mixed Costs
  • Mixed costs contain a fixed portion that is
    incurred even when facility is unused, and a
    variable portion that increases with usage.
  • Example monthly electric utility charge
  • Fixed service fee
  • Variable charge perkilowatt hour used

Cost-Volume-Profit(CVP) Analysis
Lets extend ourknowledge ofcost behavior to
CVP analysis.
14
Computing Break-Even Point
  • The break-even point (expressed in units of
    product or dollars of sales) is the unique sales
    level at which a company neither earns a profit
    nor incurs a loss.

15
Computing Break-Even Point
How much contribution margin must this company
have to cover its fixed costs (break
even)? Answer 30,000
How many units must this company sell to cover
its fixed costs(break even)?
How many units must this company sell to cover
its fixed costs (break even)? Answer 30,000
20 per unit 1,500 units
Contribution margin is amount by which revenue
exceeds the variable costs of producing the
revenue.
How much contribution margin must this company
have to cover its fixed costs (break even)?
16
Formula for ComputingBreak-Even Sales (in Units)
Finding the Break-Even Point
  • We have just seen one of the basic CVP
    relationships the break-even computation.

Unit sales price less unit variable cost(20 in
previous example)
17
Formula for ComputingBreak-Even Sales (in
Dollars)
The break-even formula may also be expressed in
sales dollars.
18
Computing Break-Even Sales
  • ABC Co. sells product XYZ at 5.00 per unit. If
    fixed costs are 200,000 and variable costs are
    3.00 per unit, how many units must be sold to
    break even?
  • a. 100,000 units
  • b. 40,000 units
  • c. 200,000 units
  • d. 66,667 units

19
Computing Break-Even Sales
ABC Co. sells product XYZ at 5.00 per unit. If
fixed costs are 200,000 and variable costs are
3.00 per unit, how many units must be sold to
break even? a. 100,000 units b. 40,000
units c. 200,000 units d. 66,667 units
20
Computing Break-Even Sales
Use the contribution margin ratio formula to
determine the amount of sales revenue ABC must
have to break even. All information remains
unchanged fixed costs are 200,000 unit sales
price is 5.00 and unit variable cost is
3.00. a. 200,000 b. 300,000 c.
400,000 d. 500,000

Preparing a CVP Graph
  • Starting at the origin, draw the total
    revenueline with a slope equal to the unit sales
    price.

Revenue
  • Total fixed costextends horizontallyfrom the
    vertical axis.

Computing Sales Needed to Achieve Target
Operating Income
  • Break-even formulas may be adjusted to show
    the sales volume needed to earnany amount of
    operating income.

ABC Co. sells product XYZ at 5.00 per unit. If
fixed costs are 200,000 and variable costs are
3.00 per unit, how many units must be sold to
earn operating income of 40,000? a. 100,000
units b. 120,000 units c. 80,000 units
d. 200,000 units

27
What is our Margin of Safety?
  • Margin of safety is the amount by which sales
    may decline before reaching break-even sales
  • Margin of safety provides a quick means of
    estimating operating income at any level of
    sales

28
What is our Margin of Safety?
  • ADM contribution margin ratio is 40 percent.
    If sales are 100,000 and break-even sales are
    80,000, what is operating income?

29
What Change in Operating Income Do We Anticipate?
  • Once break-even is reached, every additional
    dollar of contribution margin becomes operating
    income
  • ADM expects sales to increase by 15,000 and has
    a contribution margin ratio of 40. How much
    will operating income increase?

30
Business Applications of CVP
  • Consider the following information developed
    by the accountant at Speedo, a bicycle retailer

31
Business Applications of CVP
  • Should Speedo spend 12,000 on advertising to
    increase sales by 10 percent?

550 500
550 300
No, income is decreased.
33
Business Applications of CVP
Now, in combination with the advertising, Speedo
is considering a 10 percent price reduction that
willincrease sales by 25 percent. What is the
income effect?

1.25 500
625 450

Income is decreased even more.
35
Business Applications of CVP
Now, in combination with advertising and a price
cut, Speedowill replace 50,000 in sales
salaries with a 25 per bike commission,
increasing sales by 50 percent above the
original 500 bikes. What is the effect on
income?

change in compensation increases income.
37
Additional Considerations in CVP
38
CVP Analysis When a Company Sells Many Products
  • Sales mix is the relative combination in whicha
    companys different products are sold.
  • Different products have different selling
    prices, costs, and contribution margins.
  • If Speedo sells bikes and carts, howwill we
    deal with break-even analysis?

39
CVP Analysis When a Company Sells Many Products
  • Speedo provides us with the following information

  • The overall contribution margin ratio is

41

  • Break-even in sales dollars is

354,167 (rounded)
42
The High-Low Method
  • Matrix, Inc. recorded the following production
    activity and maintenance costs for two months
  • Using these two levels of activity, compute
  • the variable cost per unit.
  • the total fixed cost.
  • total cost formula.

The High-Low Method
  • If sales commissions are 10,000 when 80,000
    units are sold and 14,000 when 120,000 units are
    sold, what is the variable portion of sales
    commission per unit sold?

c. 10,000 d. 12,000
51
Assumptions Underlying CVP Analysis
  • A limited range of activity, called the
    relevant range, where CVP relationships are
    linear.
  • Unit selling price remains constant.
  • Unit variable costs remain constant.
  • Total fixed costs remain constant.
  • Sales mix remains constant.
  • Production sales (no inventory changes).
