CGS2100 1 Test 2 Study Guide Chapters 5 6 8 Chapter 5 Cost Volume Profit Relationships Cost Volume Profit CVP Analysis CVP analysis is concerned with the effects on net operating income of Selling Prices Sales Volume Unit Variable Costs Total Fixed Costs The Mix of Products Sold Contribution Margin The contribution margin is the amount remaining from sales revenue after variable expenses have been deducted It is the amount of sales that contributes toward covering fixed expenses and then toward profits The unit contribution margin remains constant so long as the selling price and the unit variable cost do not change Break Even Point The break even point is The point where total sales revenue equals total expenses variable and fixed The point where total contribution margins equals total fixed expenses Each additional unit sold increases net operating income by the amount of the unit contribution margin Type text Type text Type text 2 Break Even in Unit Sales Unit Sales Break

volume of unit sales and plot the point representing total expense fixed variable at the sales volume you have After the point has been plotted draw a line through it back to the point where the fixed

of the CM Ratio The CM Ratio shows how the contribution margin will be affected by a given change in total sales Type text Type text Type text 4 Effect on Contribution Margin Increase Contribution Margin Increase Sales CM Ratio Effect on Net Operation Income If fixed expenses do not change the net operating income for the month will also increase by the same Increase in Contribution Margin

Dollars Total Sales Operating Leverage Operating leverage measures how a given percentage change in sales affects net operating income Degree of Operating Leverage Contribution Margin Net Operating Income The degree of operating leverage is not constant it changes with the level of sales Multiproduct Break Even Analysis When a company has multiple products the overall contribution margin CM ratio is used in break even analysis Overall CM Ratio Total Contribution Margin Total Sales Dollars Breakeven Sales Expenses Overall CM Ratio Sales Mix The relative proportions in which the products are sold is called the sales mix If the sales mix changes the overall contribution margin ratio will change Assumptions of CVP Analysis 1 Selling price is constant The price does not change as volume changes Type text Type text Type text 6 2 3 4 Costs are linear and can be accurately split into fixed and variable elements The total fixed cost is constant and the variable cost per unit is constant The sales mix is constant in multi product companies In manufacturing companies inventories do not change The number of units produced equals the number of units sold Chapter 6 Variable Costing and Segment Reporting Tools for Management Differences in Variable Costing and Absorption Costing Absorption Costing Variable Costing Absorption costing was used in earlier chapters and is generally considered to be required for external financial reports Variable costing is an alternative for internal management reports Under variable costing product costs Under absorption costing product costs include ALL manufacturing costs include only the VARIABLE manufacturing costs o Direct Materials o Direct Labor o Variable Manufacturing Overhead o Fixed Manufacturing Overhead o Direct Materials o Direct Labor unless fixed o Variable Manufacturing Overhead Under absorption costing the following costs are treated as period expenses and are excluded from products o Variable selling and Administrative Costs o Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs Under Variable Costing the following costs are treated as period expenses and are excluded from product costs o Fixed Manufacturing
