5 -C 1: Fixed Costs 2

Identifying Cost Behavior Cost-volume-profit analysis is used to answer questions such as: – How much does income increase if we install a new machine to reduce labor costs? – What is the change in income if selling prices decline and sales volume increases? – How will income change if we change the sales mix of our products or services? – What sales volume is needed to earn a target income? C 1 3

Fixed Costs C 1 4

Variable Costs C 1 5

Mixed Costs C 1 6

Step-Wise Costs Total cost increases to a new higher cost for the next higher range of activity, but remains constant within a range of activity. C 1 7

Curvilinear Costs C 1 Costs that increase when activity increases, but in a nonlinear manner. 8

5 -P 1: Measuring Cost Behavior 14

Measuring Cost Behavior The objective is to classify all costs as either fixed or variable. We will look at three methods: 1. Scatter diagrams. 2. The high-low method. 3. Least–squares regression. A scatter diagram is a plot of cost data points on a graph. It is almost always helpful to plot cost data to be able to observe a visual picture of the relationship between cost and activity. P 1 15

Scatter Diagrams P 1 16

The High-Low Method The following relationships between units produced and total cost are observed: P 1 Using these two levels of activity, compute: the variable cost per unit. the total fixed cost. 17

The High-Low Method P 1 Total cost = $17, 525 + $0. 17 per unit produced 18

Least-Squares Regression Least-squares regression is usually covered in advanced cost accounting courses. It is commonly used with spreadsheet programs or calculators. The objective of the cost analysis remains the same: determination of total fixed cost and the variable unit cost. P 1 19

Comparison of Cost Estimation Methods P 1 20

NEED-TO-KNOW Using the information below, use the high-low method to determine the cost equation (total fixed costs plus variable costs per unit). Activity Level Lowest Highest Units Total Cost Produced 1, 600 $9, 800 4, 000 17, 000 Variable Cost = Cost at high point - Cost at low point Units at high point - Units at low point ($17, 000 - $9, 800) (4, 000 - 1, 600) $7, 200 2, 400 $3 per unit produced Fixed Costs (at high point) Total cost = Fixed costs + $3 per unit $17, 000 = Fixed costs + ($3 x 4, 000) $5, 000 = Fixed costs Fixed Costs (at low point) Total cost = Fixed costs + $3 per unit $9, 800 = Fixed costs + ($3 x 1, 600) $5, 000 = Fixed costs Total costs = $5, 000 + $3 per unit P 1 21

Computing the Margin of Safety P 2 28

NEED-TO-KNOW A manufacturer predicts fixed costs of $400, 000 for the next year. Its one product sells for $170 per unit, and it incurs variable costs of $150 per unit. The company predicts total sales of 25, 000 units for the next year. 1. Compute the contribution margin per unit. $20 per unit 2. Compute the break-even point (in units). 3. Compute the margin of safety (in dollars). Contribution margin per unit, or unit contribution margin, is the amount by which a product’s unit selling price exceeds its total variable cost per unit.

NEED-TO-KNOW A manufacturer predicts fixed costs of $502, 000 for the next year. Its one product sells for $180 per unit, and it incurs variable costs of $126 per unit. Its target income (pretax) is $200, 000. 1. Compute the contribution margin ratio. 30% 2. Compute the dollar sales needed to yield the target income. 3. Compute the unit sales needed to yield the target income. The contribution margin ratio is the percent of a unit’s selling price that exceeds total unit variable cost.

5 -P 4: Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point 44

Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point The CVP formulas can be modified for use when a company sells more than one product. § The unit contribution margin is replaced with the contribution margin for a composite unit. § A composite unit is composed of specific numbers of each product in proportion to the product sales mix. § Sales mix is the ratio of the volumes of the various products. P 4 45

Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point The resulting break-even formula for composite unit sales is: Break-even point in composite units = Fixed costs Contribution margin per composite unit Continue P 4 46
