Sensitivity Analysis CVP Provides structure to answer a variety of “what- if” scenarios “What” happens to profit “if”: Selling price changes Volume changes Cost structure changes Variable cost per unit changes Fixed cost changes See Page 95-96

Margin of Safety One indicator of risk, the Margin of Safety (MOS) measures the distance between budgeted sales and breakeven sales: MOS = Budgeted Sales – BE Sales The MOS Ratio removes the firm’s size from the output, and expresses itself in the form of a percentage: MOS Ratio = MOS ÷ Budgeted Sales See Page 97-98

Operating Leverage Operating Leverage (OL) is the effect that fixed costs have on changes in operating income as changes occur in units sold, expressed as changes in contribution margin OL = Contribution Margin Operating Income Notice these two items are identical, except for fixed costs See Page 98-99

Effects of Sales-Mix on CVP The formulae presented to this point have assumed a single product is produced and sold A more realistic scenario involves multiple products sold, in different volumes, with different costs The same formulae are used, but instead use average contribution margins for bundles of products.

Effects of Sales-Mix on CVP Q: The following information is for Mohammad Corporation: Product X: Revenue $10.00 Variable Cost $2.50 Product Y: Revenue $15.00 Variable Cost $5.00 Total fixed costs $50,000 1-What is the breakeven point assuming the sales mix consists of two units of Product X and one unit of Product Y? 2-What is the operating income, assuming actual sales total 150,000 units, and the sales mix is two units of Product X and one unit of Product Y?

Breakeven point in Bundle (Units) = Fixed Costs / C.M u * C.M u (bundle) = CM(X)*2 + CM(Ys)*1 7.5*2+10*1 = 25 So, Breakeven point in Bundle (Units) = 50,000/25 = 2000 Every Bundle has :1 Product Y = 1*2000= 2,000 units 2 Product X = 2*2000=4,000 units

A separate variable cost needs to be calculated for each driver. Examples include: Customer or patient count Passenger miles Patient days Student credit-hours See Page
