  1. Marginal Costing & Break Even Analysis

  2. Marginal cost • The amount at any given volume of output by which the aggregate costs are changed if the volume of output is increased or decreased by one unit • Assumptions: • variable cost varies in direct proportion with the level of activity • Per unit selling price remain constant • No variation due to stock

  3. CVP relationship • Aims at studying the relationship existing among the factors and its impact on amount of profit • Relationship between: • Selling price per unit and total sales amount • Total cost • Volume of sales

  4. Basic equation • Profit = Sales – Total cost • Profit = Sales – (Variable cost + Fixed cost) • Profit = Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost • Profit + Fixed cost = Sales – Variable cost • Sales – Variable cost = Contribution = Fixed cost + profit • Contribution – Fixed cost = Profit

  5. Profit Volume Ratio (P/V) • Indicates the contribution earned with respect to one rupee of sales • PV ratio = contribution / sales * 100 • PV ratio = change in profit / change in sales * 100 Means • Sales * PV ratio = Contribution • Contribution / PV ratio = Sales • Properties of PV ratio: • It remains constant at all the levels of activities provided per unit sales price & variable cost remains constant • PV ratio remains unaffected by any variation in fixed cost though overall profit may change • High PV ratio indicates high profitability – point to increase sales promotion efforts to increase sales volume • Low PV ratio indicates low profitability – efforts can be made to increase the profits by increasing selling price or by reducing variable cost. • Overall profitability can be increased by concentrating more on product having high PV ratio

  6. Break Even Point • No profit no loss • Contribution = Fixed cost • BEP( in units) = Fixed cost / contribution per unit • BEP( in amount) = Fixed cost / PV ratio • Contribution beyond BEP is profit

  7. Margin of Safety • Indicates soundness of business • High margin of safety – BEP is much below the actual sales • Margin of safety = Sales – BEP sales • Margin of safety = Sales – fixed cost/ PV ratio • Margin of safety = Sales * PV ratio – Fixed cost / PV ratio • Margin of safety = Contribution – Fixed cost/ PV ratio • Margin of safety = Profit / PV ratio
