Financial Models  Financial Models (definition):  Accurate, reliable simulations of relations among relevant costs, benefits, value and risk that are useful for supporting business decisions.  Financial Models (objectives):  To improve the quality of decisions  To allow flexible and responsive analyses  To simulate the reality of the relevant factors and relationships

5. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. Financial Models: CVP Analysis  Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis is the study of the effect of output volume on revenue, expense and net income  Managers use CVP analysis to try and obtain the most profitable combination of variable and fixed costs  Computers allow the manager to use a CVP modeling program to extensively and at minimal cost analyze relationships and to remove simplistic assumptions

6. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: Key Assumptions  Selling price (per unit), variable costs (per unit) and fixed costs (total) are constant;  Revenue and costs are linear;  Costs are separable into variable and fixed costs;  In multi-product companies, the sales mix is constant; and  In manufacturing companies, inventories do not change (units produced = units sold).

CVP: Break-Even  Breakeven analysis is the primary analysis of CVP analysis  1) Contribution-Margin Technique B/E in units = Fixed expense Contribution margin per unit B/E in sales = Fixed expenses Contribution margin ratio  2) Equation Technique sales-variable expenses-fixed expenses = 0  3) Graphical Technique Selling Price Sales Quantity * () - () * Unit Variable Costs Sales Quantity - Fixed Costs = Operating Income

9. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: Weighted Contribution Margin  When the sales mix changes, the break-even point and the expected net income at various sales levels are altered  B/E in units = Fixed expense Weighted CM per unit  Sales mix is the relative proportions or combinations of quantities of products that comprise total sales  Weighted average contribution margin is:  WCM = (Sales Mix) x (CM per Product Type)

10. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: Profit Planning (Targeted Income)  The breakeven point formula can be modified to become a profit planning tool.  Profit is now reinstated to the BE formula, changing it to a simple sales volume equation.  Quantity of Units = (Fixed Costs + Operating Income) Required to Be Sold Contribution Margin per Unit

12. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: Income Taxes  After-tax profit can be calculated by:  Net Income = Operating Income * (1-Tax Rate)  Net income can be converted to operating income for use in CVP equation  Operating Income = I I Net Income I (1-Tax Rate)

13. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: 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

14. © 2012 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved. CVP: Operating Leverage  Operating leverage is a measure, at a particular level of sales, of the % impact on net income of a given % change in sales  In highly leveraged companies (high fixed costs and low variable costs) a small change in sales volume results in a large change in net income (i.e. riskier)  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
