Chapter 5
Assumptions of CVP Analysis Selling price is constant. Costs are linear. In multi-product companies, the sales mix is constant. In manufacturing companies, inventories do not change (units produced = units sold).
The Basics of Cost-Volume. Profit (CVP) Analysis Contribution Margin (CM) is the amount remaining from sales revenue after variable expenses have been deducted.
The Contribution Approach For each additional unit Wind sells, $200 more in contribution margin will help to cover fixed expenses and profit.
The Variable Expense Ratio The variable expense ratio is the ratio of variable expenses to sales. It can be computed by dividing the total variable expenses by the total sales, or in a single product analysis, it can be computed by dividing the variable expenses per unit by the unit selling price.
Contribution Margin Ratio In terms of contibution margin per unit, the contribution margin ratio is: Unit CM CM Ratio = Unit selling price For Wind Bicycle Co. the ratio is: $200 = 40% $500
Contribution Margin Ratio The contribution margin ratio using total dollars is: Total CM CM Ratio = Total sales For Wind Bicycle Co. the ratio is: $100, 000 $250, 000 = 40%
Break-Even Analysis Break-even analysis can be approached in three ways: 1. Graphical analysis. 2. Equation method. 3. Contribution margin method.
B/E Relationships in Graphic Form Viewing CVP relationships in a graph is often helpful. Consider the following information for Wind Co. :

Break-Even Analysis (cont’d) Here is information from Wind Bicycle Co. :
Equation Method We calculate the break-even point in units as follows: Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits $500 Q = $300 Q + $80, 000 + $0 $200 Q = $80, 000 ÷ $200 per bike Q = 400 bikes
Equation Method We can also use the following equation to compute the break-even point in sales dollars. Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits X = 0. 60 X + $80, 000 + $0 0. 40 X = $80, 000 ÷ 0. 40 X = $200, 000
Contribution Margin Method The contribution margin method is a variation of the equation method. Break-even point = in units sold Break-even point in total sales dollars = Fixed expenses Unit contribution margin Fixed expenses CM ratio
Target Profit Analysis Suppose Wind Co. wants to know how many bikes must be sold to earn a profit of $100, 000. We can use either the Equation or Contribution Margin approaches to determine the sales volume needed to achieve a target net profit.
Equation Method We calculate the target profit in units as follows: Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits $500 Q = $300 Q + $80, 000 + $100, 000 $200 Q = $180, 000 ÷ $200 per bike Q = 900 bikes
Equation Method We can also use the following equation to compute the target profit in sales dollars. Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits X = 0. 60 X + $80, 000 + $100, 000 0. 40 X = $180, 000 ÷ 0. 40 X = $450, 000
The Contribution Margin Method We can determine the number of bikes that must be sold to earn a target profit of $100, 000 using the contribution margin approach. Unit sales to attain = the target profit Fixed expenses + Target profit Unit contribution margin $80, 000 + $100, 000 $200 per bike = 900 bikes
The Contribution Margin Method We can determine the sales needed to earn a target profit of $100, 000 using the contribution margin approach. Sales to attain the target profit = Fixed expenses + Target profit Contribution Margin Ratio $80, 000 + $100, 000 40% = $450, 000
The Margin of Safety The margin of safety is the excess of budgeted (or actual) sales over the break -even volume of sales. Margin of safety = Total sales - Break-even sales
Operating Leverage • A measure of how sensitive net operating income is to percentage changes in sales. • With high operating leverage, a small percentage increase in sales can produce a much larger percentage increase in net operating income. Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin Net operating income
Operating Leverage 10% increase in sales from $250, 000 to $275, 000. . . results in a 50% increase in income from $20, 000 to $30, 000.
Operating Leverage With an operating leverage of 5, if Wind increases its sales by 10%, net operating income would increase by 50%. Here’s th
The Concept of Sales Mix • Sales mix is the relative proportion in which a company’s products are sold. • Different products have different selling prices, cost structures, and contribution margins. • When a company sells more than one product, break-even analysis becomes more complex as the following example illustrates.
Multi-Product Break-Even Analysis Bikes comprise 45% of RBC’s total sales revenue and carts comprise the remaining 55%. RBC provides the following information: $265, 000 = 48. 2% (rounded) $550, 000
Multi-Product Break-Even Analysis Dollar sales to Fixed expenses = break even CM ratio Dollar sales to break even = $170, 000 48. 2% = $352, 697
