Estimation (continued)
The results gives rise to the following equation:
Utility Costs = £250 + (£6.75 x # of units produced)
R2 = .944, or 94.4 percent of the variation in setup costs is explained by the number of setup hours variable.

Estimation (continued)
Given:
*T-value for sample size of 5 at 95% confidence level is 3.182 (two-tale test and 3 degrees of freedom)
*Standard error of estimate for this sample at the 95% confidence level is 598.6
The confidence interval for 300 units is:
TC = £250 + 6.75 (300) + (3.182 x £598.6)
= £2275 + £1911

Cost Estimation Example 2 In each month, Exclusive Billiards produces between 4 to
10 pool tables. The plant operates on 40-hr shift to produce up to seven tables. Producing more than seven tables requires the craftsmen to work overtime. Overtime work is paid at a higher hourly wage. The plant can add overtime hours and produce up to 10 tables per month. The following table contains the total cost of producing between 4 and 10 pool tables.
Required: a. compute average cost per pool table for 4 to 10 tables Estimate fixed costs per month.

Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Examines the behavior of total revenues, total costs, and
operating income as changes occur in the output level, selling price, variable costs or fixed costs
helpful to understand the relationship among variable costs, fixed costs and profit
Assumptions of CVP Analysis1. revenues change in relation to production and sales2. costs can be divided in variable and fixed categories and fixed
element constant over the relevant range3. revenues and costs behave in a linear fashion4. costs and prices are known 5. if more than one product exists, the sales mix is constant6. inventories stay at the same level7. we can ignore the time value of money

Contribution Margin Contribution margin is equal to the difference between
total revenue and total variable costs
Contribution margin per unit= Selling price - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin percentage= Contribution margin per unit / selling price per unit

Breakeven Point Quantity of output where total revenues equal total
costs Point where operating income equals zero
Breakeven point in units= Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit= $2,000 / $80 = 25 units
Breakeven point in dollars= Fixed costs / contribution margin %= $2,000 / 40% = $5,000

Target Operating Income For most firms in the private sector, the main
objective is not to breakeven Convert after-tax desired net income to its
before-tax equivalent operating income
Target operating income= Target net income / (1 - tax rate)
Target Unit Sales= (Fixed costs + Target operating income)
/ Contribution margin per unitTarget Dollar Sales= (Fixed costs + Target operating income)
/ Contribution margin %

Sensitivity Analysis
sensitivity analysis is a “what-if” technique that examines how a result will change if the original predicted data are not achieved or if an underlying assumption changes
What will happen to operating income if volume declines by 5%?
What will happen to operating income if variable costs increase by 10% per unit?
sensitivity analysis broadens management’s perspectives about possible outcomes

Basics of Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
CM is used first to cover fixed expenses. Any remaining CM
contributes to net operating income.

The Contribution Approach Sales, variable expenses, and contribution margin can
also be expressed on a per unit basis. If Racing sells an additional bicycle, $200 additional CM will be
generated to cover fixed expenses and profit.
Fall 2010 EMBA 5403
16/109
The Contribution Approach
Each month Racing must generate at least $80,000 in total CM to break even.
Fall 2010 EMBA 5403

The Contribution ApproachIf Racing sells 400 units400 units in a month, it will be
operating at the break-even point.
Fall 2010 EMBA 5403

The Contribution ApproachIf Racing sells one more bike (401 401
bikesbikes), net operating income will increase by $200.
Fall 2010 EMBA 5403
19/109
The Contribution ApproachWe do not need to prepare an income statement to estimate profits at a particular sales volume. Simply multiply the number of units sold above break-even by the contribution margin per unit.
If Racing sells If Racing sells 430 bikes, its 430 bikes, its
net income will net income will be $6,000.be $6,000.

CVP Relationships in Graphic Form
The relationship among revenue, cost, profit and volume can be expressed graphically by
preparing a CVP graph. Racing developed contribution margin income statements at 300,
400, and 500 units sold. We will use this information to prepare the CVP graph.

$500Q = $300Q + $80,000 + $0
Where: Q = Number of bikes sold $500 = Unit selling price $300 = Unit variable expense $80,000 = Total fixed expense

The equation can be modified to calculate the break-even point in sales dollars.
Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + ProfitsSales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits
X = 0.60X + $80,000 +X = 0.60X + $80,000 + $0$0
Where: X = Total sales dollars
0.60 = Variable expenses as a % of sales $80,000 = Total fixed expenses

X = 0.60X + $80,000 + $0 0.40X = $80,000 X = $80,000 ÷ 0.40 X = $200,000
Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + ProfitsSales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profits

Structuring Sales CommissionsCompanies generally compensate
salespeople by paying them either a commission based on sales or a salary plus a
sales commission. Commissions based on sales dollars can lead to lower profits in a
company.

Structuring Sales CommissionsPipeline Unlimited produces two types of surfboards, the XR7 and the Turbo. The XR7 sells for $100 and generates a contribution margin per unit of $25. The Turbo sells for $150 and earns a contribution margin
per unit of $18.
The sales force at Pipeline Unlimited is compensated based on sales commissions.

Structuring Sales CommissionsIf you were on the sales force at Pipeline, you would
push hard to sell the Turbo even though the XR7 earns a higher contribution margin per unit.

selling price alone.

Example 4 A financial analyst is studying the feasibility of two
alternative assembly methods, manual and automated. The automated method has variable costs of TL 2.10 per unit and annual committed costs of TL 130.000; in contrast, the manual method has variable costs of TL 4.20 per unit and committed costs of TL 60.000. The company sells its products for TL 23 per unit.
What is break-even of each method? Above what volume level will management prefer
the automated method to the manual method?
