POINT AND TARGET PROFIT IN UNITS AND SALES REVENUE Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis •Powerful tool for planning and decision making • As it emphasizes the interrelationships of costs, quantity sold, and price, it brings together all of the financial information of the firm LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for

REVENUE • Two frequently used approaches to finding the break-even point • Operating income approach • Contribution margin approach • Break-even point: the point of zero profit LO-1 © 2014 Cengage

password-protected website for classroom use THE BREAK EVEN POINT AND TARGET PROFIT IN UNITS AND SALES REVENUE • First step in implementing a units-sold approach to CVP analysis is to determine just what a unit is • Second step is to separate costs into fixed and variable components • CVP focuses on the firm as a whole • All costs of the company—manufacturing, marketing, and administrative—are taken into account LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use THE BREAK EVEN POINT AND TARGET PROFIT IN UNITS AND SALES REVENUE Basic Concepts for CVP Analysis •A useful tool for organizing the firm’s costs into fixed and variable categories is the contributionmargin-based income statement • Operating income: income before income taxes (includes only revenues and expenses from the firm’s normal operations) • Net income: operating income minus income taxes LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except

REVENUE The Equation Method for Break-Even and Target Income Operating income = Sales revenues – Variable expenses – Fixed expenses Operating income = (Price × Number of units) – (Variable cost per unit × Number of units) – Total fixed costs LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use THE BREAK EVEN POINT AND TARGET PROFIT IN UNITS AND SALES REVENUE The Equation Method for Break-Even and Target Income •Equation for a target profit put in terms of units Units for a target profit = (Total fixed cost + Target income)/(Price Variable cost per unit) •Break-even equation when target income is zero Break-even units = (Total fixed cost + 0)/Price Variable cost per unit LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in

UNITS AND SALES REVENUE Contribution Margin Approach •Contribution margin is sales revenue minus total variable costs •By substituting the unit contribution margin for price minus unit variable cost in the operating income equation, the following break-even expression is obtained • Number of units = Fixed costs/Unit contribution margin LO-1 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be

be accurately identified and remain constant over the relevant range •What is produced is sold •For multiple-product analysis, the sales mix is assumed to be known •The selling price and costs are assumed to be known with certainty LO-4 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in a license distributed

Safety •Units sold or expected to be sold or the revenue earned or expected to be earned above the breakeven volume •If a firm’s margin of safety is large given the expected sales for the coming year, the risk of suffering losses should sales take a downward turn is less than if the margin of safety is small LO-5 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated,

Operating Leverage •Use of fixed costs to extract higher percentage changes in profits as sales activity changes •The greater the degree of operating leverage, the more that changes in sales activity will affect profits •The mix of costs than an organization chooses can have a considerable influence on its operating risk and profit level Degree of operating leverage = Total contribution

underlying assumptions on an answer •It is relatively simple to input data on prices, variable costs, fixed costs, and sales mix and set up formulas to calculate break-even points and expected profits •Then, the data can be varied as desired to see what impact changes have on the expected profit LO-5 © 2014 Cengage Learning All Rights Reserved May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or
