Chapter Eleven
Cost Behavior, Operating Leverage, and CVP Analysis
1-2
Learning Objective 1
• Distinguish between fixed and variable cost behavior.
1-3
Fixed Cost Behavior
Increases Decreases
Total Fixed Cost Remains constant Remains Constant
Fixed Cost Per Unit Decreases Increases
Consider the followingconcert example where theband will be paid $48,000
regardless of the number of tickets sold.

Fixed Cost Behavior
Number of tickets sold 2,700 3,000 3,300
Total cost of band 48,000$ 48,000$ 48,000$
Cost per ticket sold 17.78$ 16.00$ 14.55$
Number of tickets sold 2,700 3,000 3,300
Total cost of band 48,000$ 48,000$ 48,000$
Cost per ticket sold 17.78$ 16.00$ 14.55$
$48,000 ÷ 3,000 Tickets = $16.00 per Ticket

Learning Objective 2
• Demonstrate the effects of operating leverage on profitability.
1-6
Operating Leverage A measure of the extent to which fixedcosts are being used in an organization.
Operating leverage is greatest in companies that have a high proportion of fixed costs in
relation to variable costs.
A measure of the extent to which fixedcosts are being used in an organization.
Operating leverage is greatest in companies that have a high proportion of fixed costs in
relation to variable costs.
Consider the followingconcert example where
all costs are fixed.

Operating Leverage
When all costs are fixed, every additional sales dollar
contributes one dollar to gross profit.

Risk and Reward Assessment
Risk refers to the possibility thatsacrifices may exceed benefits.
Risk may be reduced byconverting fixed costs
into variable costs.
Let’s see what happens to the concert example if the band receives $16 per
ticket instead of $48,000.
1-9
The total variable cost increases in direct proportion to the number of tickets sold.
Variable unit cost per ticket remains at$16 regardless of the number of tickets sold.

Learning Objective 3
• Prepare an income statement using the contribution margin approach.
1-13
Income Statement - Contribution Margin Approach
Total Unit
Sales Revenue 100,000$ 50$
Less: Variable Costs 60,000 30
Contribution Margin 40,000$ 20$
Less: Fixed Costs 30,000
Net Income 10,000$
The contribution margin format emphasizes cost behavior. Contribution margin covers
fixed costsand provides for income.

Example: Office space is available at a fixed rental
rate of $30,000 per year in increments of 1,000 square feet. As the
business grows more space is rented,
increasing the total cost.

Range
Total fixed cost doesn’t change for a range of
activity, and then jumps to a new higher cost for the next higher
range of activity.
1-26
Context Sensitive Definitions of Fixed and Variable
Recall the earlier concert example, where the band waspaid $48,000 regardless of the number of tickets sold.
The cost of the band is fixed relative to the number of tickets sold for a specific concert.
The cost of the band is variable relativeto the number of concerts produced.
1-27
Mixed Costs
• Some costs have both fixed and variable components.
• These costs are known as mixed costs or semivariable costs.
• Several techniques exist to mixed costs into estimates fixed and variable components.
1-28
Learning Objective 6
• Determine the sales price of a product using a cost-plus pricing approach.
1-29
Determining Contribution Margin per Unit
Bright Day produces one product called Delatine. The company uses a cost-plus-pricing strategy; it sets prices at cost plus a markup of 50% of cost. Delatine cost $24 per bottle to manufacture, so a bottle sells for $36 ($24 + [50% × $24]). The contribution margin per bottle is:
Sales revenue per bottle 36$ Variable cost per bottle 24 Contribution margin per bottle 12$
The company’s first concern is if it can sell enough The company’s first concern is if it can sell enough bottles of Delatine to cover it fixed costs and make bottles of Delatine to cover it fixed costs and make
a profit!a profit!

Learning Objective 7
• Use the contribution per unit approach to calculate the break-even point.
1-31
Determining the Break-even Point
The break-even point is the point where total total revenue equals total costsrevenue equals total costs (both variable and
fixed). For Bright Day, the cost of advertising is estimated to be $60,000. Advertising costs are
the fixed costs of the company. We use the following formula to determine the break-even
point in units.

Determining the Break-even Point
For Delatine, the break-even point in sales dollars is $180,000 (5,000 bottles × $36 selling price).
Sales Revenue (5,000 units x $36) 180,000$ Total Variable Expenses (5,000 units x $24) (120,000)

Learning Objective 9
• Calculate the margin of safety in units, dollars and percentage.
1-37
Calculating the Margin of Safety
The margin of safety measures the cushion between budgeted sales and the break-even point. It quantifies the amount by which actual sales can fall short of expectations before the company will
begin to incur losses.
