Document Summary

Companies use and separate mixed costs into variable and fixed components enabling cost-volume-profit analysis (cvp) Cvp: primary purpose is to estimate how profits are affected by selling price, sales volume, unit vc, total fc, and mix of products sold. Contribution margin (cm): amount remaining from sales after vc is deducted; covers fc and provides profits. Break even point (bep): sales level where profit is 0. Net income will increase by the unit cm for each additional unit sold. Profit (noi)= [(selling price x q) - (variable costs x q)] - fixed costs. Contribution margin ratio (cmr): shows impact on noi when you know the increase in sales. Cmr= total cm/total sales or unit cm/unit sp. If sp= 12, vc=3. 36, total fc= 120000, spend 15,000 sales will increase by 50,000, find the increase in noi. Increase in sales is 50,000 x cmr of 0. 72 = increase in cm of. 36,000 - increase in fc of 15,000 = 21000 increase in noi.
