3. Identifying Cost Behavior Cost-volume-profit analysis is used to answer questions such as: – How much does income increase if we install a new machine to reduce labor costs? – What is the change in income if selling prices decline and sales volume increases? – How will income change if we change the sales mix of our products or services? – What sales volume is needed to earn a target income?

7. Step-Wise Costs Total cost increases to a new higher cost for the next higher range of activity, but remains constant within a range of activity. C 1 7

14. 18-P1: Measuring Cost Behavior 14

15. Measuring Cost Behavior The objective is to classify all costs as either fixed or variable. We will look at three methods: 1.Scatter diagrams. 2.The high-low method. 3.Least–squares regression. A scatter diagram is a plot of cost data points on a graph. It is almost always helpful to plot cost data to be able to observe a visual picture of the relationship between cost and activity. P 1 15

16. Scatter Diagrams P 1 16

17. The High-Low Method The following relationships between units produced and total cost are observed: Using these two levels of activity, compute:  the variable cost per unit.  the total fixed cost. P 1 17

18. The High-Low Method Total cost = $17,525 + $0.17 per unit produced P 1 18

19. The objective of the cost analysis remains the same: determination of total fixed cost and the variable unit cost. Least-Squares Regression Least-squares regression is usually covered in advanced cost accounting courses. It is commonly used with spreadsheet programs or calculators. P 1 19

20. Comparison of Cost Estimation Methods P 1 20

21. NEED-TO-KNOW Using the information below, use the high-low method to determine the cost equation (total fixed costs plus variable costs per unit).

25. 18-P2: Computing the Break- Even Point 25

26. Using Break-Even Analysis The break-even point (expressed in units of product or dollars of sales) is the unique sales level at which a company earns neither a profit nor incurs a loss. P 2 26

29. NEED-TO-KNOW A manufacturer predicts fixed costs of $400,000 for the next year. Its one product sells for $170 per unit, and it incurs variable costs of $150 per unit. The company predicts total sales of 25,000 units for the next year. 1. Compute the contribution margin per unit. 2. Compute the break-even point (in units). 3. Compute the margin of safety (in dollars). Contribution margin per unit, or unit contribution margin, is the amount by which a product’s unit selling price exceeds its total variable cost per unit.

44. 18-P4: Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point 44

45. Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point The CVP formulas can be modified for use when a company sells more than one product.  The unit contribution margin is replaced with the contribution margin for a composite unit.  A composite unit is composed of specific numbers of each product in proportion to the product sales mix.  Sales mix is the ratio of the volumes of the various products. P 4 45

46. Computing a Multiproduct Break-Even Point The resulting break-even formula for composite unit sales is: Break-even point in composite units Fixed costs Contribution margin per composite unit = Continue P 4 46
