Cost-Volume Profit Analysis
Cost-volume profit analysis
Systematic examination of the relationships among costs,
cost driver, and profit
Elements:
a. Sales – selling price and units
b. Total fixed costs
c. Variable costs per unit
d. Sales mix
Applications of CVP Analysis
Planning and decision-making
Type of product to produce and sell;
Pricing policy to follow;
Marketing strategy to use; and
Type of productive facilities to acquire
Assumptions and Limitations of CVP
Analysis
The analysis is valid for a limited range of values and a limited
period of time.
All costs can be categorized as fixed or variable.
Revenues change proportionately with volumes and selling price
remaining constant.
There is a constant product mix
Changes in volume alone are responsible for changes in costs and
revenues
Assumptions and Limitations of CVP
Analysis
Changes in volume alone are responsible for changes in costs and
revenues.
There is no significant change in inventories (i.e., in physical units,
sales volume equals production volume)
Operationleverage questions can be dealt with in the CVP
framework.
The analysis is deterministic and appropriate data can be found
Contribution Margin per unit
Excess of unit selling price over unit variable costs and
each unit sold contributes toward covering fixed costs and
providing operating profits

are equal

A company produces and sells a single product. The selling price is P25 and
the variable costs is P15 per unit. The corporation’s fixed costs is P100,000
per month. Average monthly sales is 11,000 units.
1. If fixed costs will increase by P20,000, the break-even point in units will
increase (decrease) by _________.
2. If variable costs per unit will go up by P5, the peso break-even sales will
increase (decrease) to ________.
3. If selling price will increase to P30, the break-even point in units will ________.
4. If sales increase from P800,000 to P900,000, and if the degree of operating
leverage is 5, one would expect profit to increase by ____.
A company sells two products, Product 1 and Product 2. Three units of
Product 1 are sold for every two units of Product 2. Fixed costs is P234,000
per year.
Product 1 is sold for P20 per unit and the variable costs identified with the
production and sale of each unit of the product amounts to P14. Product 2 is
sold for P24 per unit, and the variable costs identified with the production and
sale of each unit of the product amounts to P20.
1. The weighted average unit contribution margin is ___.
2. The break-even point in units:
Product 1 _______ Product 2 _______
Following information pertains to X Company’s two products:
Digicam Videocam
Break-even point – units 360 240

Variable costs 2,250 5,000
The President had been offered various proposals by the division manager
as follows:
a. Maintain the present volume and sales price.
b. Produce and sell at capacity and reduce the unit price to P28.
c. Raise the unit price to P32, spend an extra P300,000 on advertising, and
produce and sell 180,000 units.
Required: Recommendation based on quantification of alternatives.
