Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis: Additional Issues
Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Review Sales Mix Cost Structure and Operating Leverage Basic concepts Basic computations CVP and changes in the business environment Break-even sales in units Break-even in dollars Sales mix with limited resources Effect on contribution margin ration Effect on break-even point Effect on margin of safety ratio Operating leverage Service Cost - Actuaries compute service cost as the present value of the new benefits earned by employees during the year. Future salary levels considered in calculation. Interest on Liability - Interest accrues each year on the PBO just as it does on any discounted debt. Actual Return on Plan Assets - Increase in pension funds from interest, dividends, and realized and unrealized changes in the fair market value of the plan assets. Amortization of Unrecognized Prior Service Cost - The cost of providing retroactive benefits is allocated to pension expense in the future, specifically to the remaining service-years of the affected employees. Gain or Loss - Volatility in pension expense can be caused by sudden and large changes in the market value of plan assets and by changes in the projected benefit obligation. Two items comprise the gain or loss: difference between the actual return and the expected return on plan assets and, amortization of the unrecognized net gain or loss from previous periods

Basic Concepts CVP is so important, management often wants the information reported in a special format income statement. The CVP income statement is for internal use only, classifies costs and expenses as fixed or variable, reports a contribution margin in the body of the statement. Contribution margin – amount of revenue remaining after deducting all variable costs. The contribution margin is often reported as a total amount and on a per unit basis. 1.

Basic Computations – A Review
CVP and Changes in the Business Environment To better understand CVP analysis, three independent cases involving Vargo will be examined.

Basic Computations – A Review: Case I
Illustration 6-6 Basic Data Should Vargo Video match a competitor’s 10% discount and reduce selling price to $450 per unit? Management must decide how likely it is that Vargo can achieve the increase in sales as well as the likelihood of lost sales if the discount is not matched. 1.

What effect will the new equipment have on the sales required to break-even? Fixed costs will increase $60,000 and variable costs will decrease $90,000 (variable cost per unit = $210). 1.

Basic Computations – A Review: Case III
Illustration 6-6 Basic Data Vargo’s supplier of raw materials has increased the cost of raw materials which will increase the variable cost per unit by $25 to $325. The selling price will remain the same at $500. New contribution margin $175 ($500 - $325). Management intends to cut fixed costs by $17,500 to $ 182,500. 1.

Variable cost per unit increases to $325 as a result of the $25 increase in raw materials cost. Fixed costs decrease to $182,500. Contribution margin per unit is now $175. If Vargo cannot sell an additional 100 units, management must further reduce costs, increase the selling price of the DVDs, or accept a lower net income. Illustration 6-9 1.

It is important to understand
Sales Mix When a company sells more than one product: It is important to understand its sales mix. The sales mix is the relative percentage in which a company sells its products. If a company’s unit sales are 80% printers and 20% computers, its sales mix is 80% to 20%. Sales mix is important because different products often have very different contribution margins. 1.

Break-Even Sales in Units
A company can compute break-even sales for a mix of two or more products by determining the: Weighted-average unit contribution margin of all products. The weighted-average unit contribution margin is the sum of the weighted contribution margin of each product. 1.

Break-Even Sales in Dollars
The calculation of break-even point in units works well if the company has only a few products. Consider 3M which has over 30,000 different products: 3M would need to calculate 30,000 different unit contribution margins. When there are many products, calculate the break-even point in terms of sales dollars for divisions or product lines, NOT individual products. 1.

With break-even sales of $937,500 and a sales mix of 20% to 80%, Kale must sell: $187,500 from the Indoor Plant division. $750,000 from the Outdoor Plant division. If the sales mix between the divisions changes, the weighted-average contribution margin ratio also changes, resulting in a new break-even point in dollars. Example - If the sales mix becomes 50% to 50%, the weighted average contribution margin ratio changes to 35%, resulting in a lower break-even point of $857,143. 1.

Sales Mix with Limited Resources
All companies have limited resources whether it be floor space, raw materials, direct labor hours, etc. Limited resources force management to decide which products to sell to maximize net income. Example: Vargo makes DVD players and TVs. The limiting resource is machine capacity – 3,600 hours per month. Relevant date is as follows: Illustration 6-18 1.

Timeliness (no real time financial information) SO 4: Determine sales mix when a company has limited resources.

Sales Mix with Limited Resources - Example
The TVs seem to be more profitable since they have the higher contribution margin per unit, but they require more machine hours to produce than the DVD Players. To determine the appropriate sales mix, compute the contribution margin per unit of limited resource: Since DVD players have higher contribution margin per machine hour, management should produce more DVD players if demand exists or else increase machine capacity.

Alternative: Increase machine capacity from 3,600 to 4,200 hours. To maximize net income, all 600 hours should be used to produce and sell DVD players. Illustration 6-20

Operating Leverage Operating leverage refers to the extent that net income reacts to a given change in sales. Higher fixed costs relative to variable costs cause a company to have higher operating leverage. When sales revenues are increasing, high operating leverage means that profits will increase rapidly – a good thing. When sales revenues are declining, too much operating leverage can have devastating consequences. 1.

Operating Leverage The degree of operating leverage provides a measure of a company’s earnings volatility. The degree of operating leverage is computed by dividing total contribution margin by net income. The computations for Vargo and New Wave are: New Wave’s earnings would go up (or down) by about two times (5.33 ÷ 2.67 = 1.99) as much as Vargo’s with an equal increase in sales. Illustration 6-25 1.
