2 QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY CVP ANALYSIS 1. What sales volume is required to break even 2. What sales volume is necessary in order to earn a desired profit 3. What profit can be expected on a given sales volume 4. How would changes in selling price, variable costs, fixed costs, and output affect profits 5. How would a change in the mix of products sold affect the break-even and target income volume and profit potencial 2

3 What sales volume is required to break even break-even point the level of sales at which revenue equals expenses and net income is zero margin of safety the planned unit sales less the break-even unit sales contribution margin (marginal income) the sales price minus the variable cost per unit sales totalcost S = X*P TC = FC + UVC*X break-evenpoint BEP = X; S = TC X*P= FC +UVC*X BEP FC = X = BEPV = BEP* P P UVC quantity unit Contribution Margin(CMU) $ value 3

4 What sales volume is required to break even cont. cost-volume-profit graph $ break-even point sales (revenue) net income area net income variable expenses net loss area total cost fixed expenses units 4

5 What sales volume is required to break even cont. conventional and modified break-even graphs relevant range of volume sales relevant range of volume sales total expenses total expenses euros euros activity (volume) level activity (volume) level 5

6 What sales volume is required to break even cont. Assumptions that must be made in constructing the break-even graph: 1. Expenses may be classified intovariable and fixed categories. Total variable expenses vary directly with activity level. Total fixed expenses do not change with activity level. 2. The behavior of revenues and expenses is accuratly portrayed and islinear over the relevant range. 3. Efficiency and productivity will be unchanged. 4. Sales mix (relative proportions or combinations of quantities of products that constitute total sales) will be constant. 5. The difference in inventory level at the beginning and at the end of a period is insignificant. 6. The price will be unchanged. 7. Sales and expenses are not the subject of time value of money 6

11 How would changes in selling price, variable costs, fixed costs, and output affect profits alternative cost structure We are going to sell on a fair a software packet Do-All. Software we can buy from the wholesaler for $120 per unit, unsold packet we can return to the wholesaler. The price of $200 per unit seems to be acceptable. Exibition Center (fair s organizer) offers a place we can sell our software according to the following options: a) $2000 b) $1400 plus 5% of sales c) 20% of sales Which option should we choose? option a) option b) option c)

12 How would changes in selling price, variable costs, fixed costs, and output affect profits cont. alternative cost structure option a) BEP= 2000/( ) = 25 units option b) BEP= 1400/( *0.05) = 20 units option c) BEP= 0/( *0.2) = 0 units option a) option b) option c) net income Dollars BEP BEP BEP activity level [units] option c) option b) option a) 12

15 How would a change in the mix of products sold affect the breakeven and target income volume and profit potencial cont. Case study Valtek Company sells three products.

Assume that according to the plan the sales of $ has been reached, and the sales on products was as follows: A - $ ; B - $ ; C - $ Prepare the income statement for the month. 2. What is the dollars break-even point for the month? 3. The president is shocked with the results of this month the company s sale (in dollars) is exactly the same as planned. Explain the president why the result and the break even differ from planned.
