Presentation transcript:

Contribution Money received by the business that contributes to paying the fixed costs

Contribution Contribution per unit = Unit price - AVC. It is an amount that ‘contributes’ towards paying the fixed costs. Profit = Total contribution -TFC.

Example 300 Widgets are sold for a price of $40 each. Unit variable costs are $30. Contribution per unit = $40-$30 = $10. If TFC = $1400, Profit = (300 x $10) - $1400 Profit = $1600

Contribution At first the contribution per unit goes towards or ‘contributes’ towards paying the fixed costs. Once the fixed costs have been met, all future contribution per unit goes to create profit for the business.

Total contribution Total contribution = TR-TVC eg a firm sells 200 clocks for $10 each. Total variable costs = $1300 Total contribution = (200 x $10) - $1300 Total contribution = $700 This $700 would go towards paying the fixed costs. If fixed costs = $600, then the business would make a profit of $100.

Question

Hadley Ltd sells 350 widdles for $4.5 each. The business has fixed costs of $500. The variable costs per unit amount to $2. 1. Calculate the contribution per unit. 2. Calculate total contribution. 3. Calculate total profit.

Answer 1. $4.5 - $2 = $ $2.5 x 350 = $ Total cont. - TFC: $ = $375 or, TR -TC: ($4.5 x 350) - (350x2 + $500) $ = $375

Portfolio management - used by businesses selling several products. Contributions per unit are compared. Products with the lowest contributions will be reviewed to see if the firm should continue selling them. Uses of Contribution Analysis

Helps decide prices (ie firms may want to know the price at which the product starts making a contribution to the fixed costs). Allocation of overheads can be made using results of contribution analysis.

Uses of Contribution Analysis Special orders. A one-off order at a lower price may be allowed if the new price still makes a contribution to overheads. Calculation of break-even points.

Example Jongde Ltd makes chairs. It usually sells them for $45 each. It sells 500 at that price. Unit variable costs are $30. Total fixed costs are$5750. A customer places an order for 100 chairs. They demand a discount of $10 per chair due to the large order. a)Should the firm accept the order? b) What would happen if Jongde sold all their chairs for the discount price?

Contribution Analysis Note, contribution per unit should never be used in isolation. Other factors need to be considered too eg: unit sales volumes relative market growth of different product lines
