Chapter 20Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
Learning Objective 1
Determine how changes in volume affect costs
20-2
How Do Costs Behave When There Is a Change in Volume?
• Some costs change as the volume of sales increases or decreases. Other costs are not affected by changes in volume.
• Different types of costs are:– Variable costs– Fixed costs– Mixed costs
20-3
Variable Costs
20-4
• Variable costs remain constant per unit but change in total as volume changes.

Fixed Costs

Mixed Costs
20-9
• Mixed costs have both fixed and variable components.
Mixed Costs
20-10
High-Low Method
20-11
• A method to separate mixed costs into variable and fixed components is the high-low method.
High-Low Method
• Use three steps to separate the variable and fixed costs.
• Step 1: Identify the highest and lowest levels of activity and calculate the variable cost per unit.
20-12
High-Low Method
• Now that we have calculated the variable costs per unit, we can calculate the portion of the mixed costs that relates to the fixed costs.
• Step 2: Calculate the total fixed costs.
20-13
High-Low Method
• Using the variable costs per unit and the fixed costs per unit, we can determine the total mixed costs at various levels of productivity.
• Step 3: Create and use an equation to show the behavior of a mixed cost.
20-14
Relevant Range and Relativity
• The relevant range is the range of volume where total fixed costs and variable costs per unit remain constant.
20-15
Learning Objective 2
Calculate operating income using contribution margin and contribution margin ratio
20-16
What Is Contribution Margin, And How Is It Used to Compute Operating Income?
• A traditional income statement classifies costs by function: – Product costs– Period costs
• A contribution margin income statement classifies costs by behavior:– Variable costs– Fixed costs
20-17
Contribution Margin
20-18
• The difference between net sales revenue and variable costs is the contribution margin.
• It is called contribution margin because it is the amount that contributes to covering fixed costs.
Unit Contribution Margin
20-19
• The contribution margin can be expressed as a unit amount.
• Note: The terms unit contribution margin and contribution margin per unit are used interchangeably.
Contribution Margin Ratio
• A third way to express contribution margin is as a ratio.
• Contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution margin to net sales revenue.

Learning Objective 3
Use cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis for profit planning
20-22
How Is Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis Used?
• Managers use information about cost behavior to make business decisions.
• Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is a planning tool that looks at the relationships among costs and volume and how they affect profits (or losses).
20-23
Assumptions• The price per unit does not change as
volume changes. • Managers can classify each cost as
variable, fixed, or mixed.• The only factor that affects total costs is
change in volume, which increases or decreases variable and mixed costs.
• Fixed costs do not change.• There are no changes in inventory
levels.20-24
Target Profit—Three Approaches• CVP analysis can be used to estimate the
amount of sales needed to achieve a target profit.
• There are three methods of estimated sales required to make a profit:– Equation approach– Contribution margin approach– Contribution margin ratio approach
20-25
The Equation Approach
• An equation can be used to estimate the number of units a company needs to sell to achieve target profit or total sales revenue.
20-26
The Equation Approach• If Smart Touch Learning desires a target
profit of $6,000, using the equation approach, it finds it needs to sell 80 units.
20-27
The Contribution Margin Approach• The contribution margin approach is a
shortcut method of computing the required sales in units.
• The equation approach is rewritten to derive the following equation:
20-28
Contribution Margin Ratio Approach• The contribution margin ratio approach
computes required sales in terms of sales dollars rather than in units.
20-29
$40,000 / $500 = 80 units
Breakeven Point—A Variation of Target Profit
• The breakeven point calculation is a variation of the target profit calculation.
• The breakeven point is the point at which total revenues equal total costs.
• The same three approaches used for target profit can be used to determine the breakeven point.

Learning Objective 4
Use CVP analysis to perform sensitivity analysis
20-34
How Is CVP Analysis Used for Sensitivity Analysis?
• Managers can use CVP relationships to conduct sensitivity analysis.
• Sensitivity analysis is a “what if” technique that estimates profit or loss results if sales price, cost, volume, or underlying assumptions change.
20-35
Changes in the Sales Price
• If the sales price changes from $500 to $475, the number of units needed to breakeven increases from 54 to 60.
20-36
CM per unit drops from $225 to $200
Changes in Variable Costs
• If one of Smart Touch Learning’s suppliers raises prices and variable costs increase from $275 to $285, the number of units needed to break even increases from 54 to 56.
20-37
CM per unit drops from $225 to $215
Changes in Fixed Costs• If Smart Touch Learning’s fixed costs
increase from $12,000 to $15,000, the number of units needed to break even increases from 54 to 67.

Learning Objective 5
Use CVP analysis to calculate margin of safety, operating leverage, and multiproduct breakeven points
20-40
What Are Some Other Ways CVP Analysis Can Be Used?
• CVP analysis can be used for estimating target profits and breakeven points, as well as sensitivity analysis.
• Three additional applications of CVP are: – Margin of safety– Operating leverage– Sales mix
20-41
Margin of Safety
• Margin of safety is the excess of expected sales over breakeven sales.
• Used to evaluate the risk of current operations and their plans for the future.
20-42
Sales Mix
• Most companies sell more than one product.
• Sales price and variable costs differ for each product.
• Sales mix, or product mix, is the combination of products that make up total sales.
