Document Summary

Objectives: contribution margin and contribution ratio, break-even analysis, break-even point, cvp graph, target operating profit, margin of safety, cost structure and profit stability, operating leverage, sales mix. Cost-volume-profit analysis: the effects of changes of costs and volume on a company"s profits, a critical factor in management decisions, considers the interrelationships among the five components of cvp analysis. Important in profit planning: volume or level of activity, unit selling prices, variable cost per unit, total cost per unit, sales mix. All costs are fixed or variable (or can be broken out this way). All revenue and variable costs are constant per unit. Constant contribution margin (unit sales price- unit variable cost) Basic formulas: total revenue = selling price * number of units sold, total costs = fixed costs + (variable costs * # of units sold, contribution margin (cm) = sales variable costs.

Cost-volume-profit (CVP)

posted Nov 28, 2016, 4:07 AM

Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is a key step in manydecisions. CVP analysis involves specifying a model of therelations among the prices of products, the volume or level ofactivity, unit variable costs, total fixed costs, and the salesmix. This model is used to predict the impact on profits of changesin those parameters. Explain how changes in activity affectcontribution margin and net operating income.

CVP is a powerfulanalytical tool that informs managers for business decision making.By the use of this tool, relationships between production orservice costs, volume, and profit can be modeled to determine salesvolume needed at a certain price to break even or earn a targetprofit level or amount.

What are the keycomponent of CVP Analysis? Discuss the basic assumptions of CVPanalysis. Define the terms Unit Contribution Margin andContribution Margin ratio.

The Hampshire Company manufactures umbrellas that sell for$12.50 each. In 2014, the company made and sold 60,000 umbrellas.The company had fixed manufacturing costs of $216,000. It also hadfixed costs for administration of $79,525. The per-unit costs ofeach umbrella are as follows:

Direct Materials: $3.00

Direct Labor: $1.50

Variable Manufacturing Overhead: $0.40

Variable Selling Expenses: $1.10

Using the information above, perform a cost-volume-profit (CVP)analysis by completing the steps below.

1. Compute net income before tax.

2. Compute the unit contribution margin in dollars and thecontribution margin ratio for one umbrella.

3. Calculate the break-even point in units and dollars ofrevenue.

4. Calculate the margin of safety:

In units

In sales dollars

As a percentage

5. Calculate the degree of operating leverage.

6. Assume that sales will increase by 20% in 2015. Calculate thepercentage of before-tax income for this increase. Providecalculations to prove that your percentage increase is correctbased on the operating leverage calculated in step 5.

7. Compute the number of umbrellas that Hampshire is required tosell if it plans to earn $150,000 in income before taxes by usingthe target income formula. Proof your calculation.

8. A company that specializes in tours in England has offered topurchase 5,000 umbrellas at $11 each from Hampshire. The variableselling costs of these additional units will be $1.30 as opposed to$1.10 per unit. Also, this production activity will incur another$15,000 of fixed administrative costs. Should Hampshire agree tosell these additional 5,000 umbrellas to the touring business?Provide calculations to support your decision.

Requirement 1
	Units	Price	Totals
Sales	X	$	$
Variable Costs	X	$	$
Fixed Costs			$
Net Income			$

Requirement 2

Contribution Margin per Unitin Dollars = Selling Price â Variable Costs

Selling Price		Variable Costs	Contribution Margin per Unit



Contribution Margin Ratio =Contribution Margin/Selling Price

Contribution Margin		Selling Price	Contribution Margin Ratio


Requirement 3

Break-Even Point = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin

Fixed Costs		Contribution Margin	Break-Even Point in Units (Rounded)


Break-Even Point in Units XSelling Price per Unit = Break-Even Point Sales

Break-Even Point in Units		Selling Price per Unit	Break-Even Point in Sales (Rounded)


Requirement 4A

Margin of Safety in Units =Current Unit Sales â Break-Even Point in Unit Sales

Current Unit Sales		Break-Even Point in Sales	Margin of Safety in Units


Requirement 4B

Margin of Safety in Dollars =Current Sales in Dollars â Break-Even Point Sales in Dollars

Current Sales in Dollars		Break-Even Point in Dollars	Margin of Safety in Dollars


Requirement 4C

Margin of Safety as aPercentage = Margin of Sales in Units / Current Unit Sales

Margin of Safety in Units		Current Unit Sales	Margin of Safety Percentage



Requirement 5

Degree of Operating Leverage =Contribution Margin / Operating Income

Contribution Margin		Operating Income	Operating Leverage
