I. COST-VOLUME PROFIT ANALYSIS


- a systematic examination of the relationships among costs, cost driver, and profit.
Elements of CVP ANALYSIS
1. Sales
a. selling price
b. units or volume
2. Total fixed costs
3. Variable costs per unit
4. Sales mix

Application of CVP Analysis


Planning and decision-making, which may involve choosing the:
1. type of product to produce and sell;
2. pricing policy to follow,
3. marketing strategy to use, and
4. type of productive facilities to acquire.

THE CONTRIBUTION MARGIN INCOME STATEMENT


- The costs and expenses in the Contribution Margin Income Statement are classified as to behavior (variable and fixed).
The amount of contribution margin, which is the difference between sales and variable costs is shown. The format is as
follows:

Sales XXX
Less: Variable Cost (XXX)
Contribution Margin XXX
Less: Fixed Cost (XXX)
Income before Tax XXX

The contribution margin income statement is prepared for management's own use. The format facilitates cost-volume-profit
analysis.

INHERENT SIMPLIFYING ASSUMPTIONS OF CVP ANALYSIS


1. All costs are classifiable as either variable or fixed.
2. Cost and revenue relationships are predictable and linear over a relevant range of activity and a specified period of time.
3. Total variable costs change directly with the cost driver, but variable costs per unit are constant over the relevant range.
4. Total fixed costs are constant over the relevant range, but fixed costs per unit vary inversely with the cost driver.
5. Selling prices per unit and market conditions remain unchanged.
6. Production equals sales, i.e., there is no change in inventory.
7. If the company sells multiple products, sales mix is constant.
8. Technology, as well as productive efficiency, is constant.
9. The time value of money is ignored.

II. BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS

BREAK-EVEN POINT
- the sales volume level (in pesos or in units) where total revenues equals total costs, that is, there is neither profit nor
loss.

FORMULA:
a. Single -Product Break-even Calculations

1. Break-even Point in Pesos:

2. Break-even Point in Units

b. Multiple-Product/Service Break-even Calculations


1. Break-even Point in Pesos:
2. Break-even Point in Units

III. THE MARGIN OF SAFETY

MARGIN OF SAFETY
- the amount of peso-sales or the number of units by which actual or budgeted sales may be decreased without resulting
into a loss.

FORMULA:
1. Margin of safety in pesos

2. Margin of safety in units

3. Margin of safety ratio

4. Break-even sales ratio

IV. THE OPERATING LEVERAGE

OPERATING LEVERAGE
- The extent to which a company uses fixed costs in its cost structure.
Leverage is achieved by increasing fixed costs while lowering variable costs.

OPERATING LEVERAGE FACTOR (OLF) or DEGREE OF OPERATING LEVERAGE


DOL - used to measure the extent of the change in profit before tax resulting from the change in sales.

FORMULA:

Or

V. REQUIRED SALES WITH DESIRED PROFIT


The break-even formula may be expanded to compute for the required sales (in units or in pesos) to earn a desired amount of
profit.

VI. PROBLEM SOLVING:


1. Basic Illustration Corp. produces and sells a single product. The selling price is P25 and the variable costs is P15 per unit.
The corporation's fixed costs is P100,000 per month. Average monthly sales is 11,000 units.
a. Contribution margin per unit?
b. Contribution margin ratio?
c. Break-even Point in Pesos?
d. Break-even Point in Units?
e. Margin of safety in Pesos?
f. Margin of safety in Units?
g. Margin of safety Ratio?
h. Break-even Sales Ratio?
i. At the present average monthly sales level of 11,000 units, the corporation’s degree of operating leverage (DOL) is?
j. If the fixed cost will increase by 20,000, the break-even point in units will increase (decrease) by?
k. If variable costs per unit will go up by P5, the peso break-even sales will increase (decrease) to?
