Variable Costs
Variable costs are costs that vary in proportion to changes in the level of activity.

Jason Sound Inc. produces stereo systems. The parts for the stereo system are purchased from suppliers for $10 per unit (a variable cost) and assembled by Jason Sound Inc.

Fixed Costs
Fixed costs are costs that remain the same in total dollar amount as the activity base changes.

Minton Inc. manufactures, bottles, and distributes perfume. The production supervisor is Jane Sovissi. She is paid $75,000 per year. The plant produces from 50,000 to 300,000 bottles of La Fleur Perfume.

Mixed Costs
Mixed costs (sometimes called semivariable or semifixed costs) have characteristics of both a variable and a fixed cost. Over one range of activity, the total mixed cost may remain the same. Over another range of activity, the mixed cost may change in proportion to changes in level of activity.

The high-low method is a cost estimation method that may be used for separating mixed costs into their fixed and variable components.

Estimating Variable Cost Using High-Low
11-1519-15
The first step in determining fixed cost is to insert the variable cost of $15 into the following formula:
Total Cost = ($15 × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost
Estimating Fixed Cost Using High-Low
Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost
1
11-1619-16
Using the highest level of production, we insert the total cost and units produced in the formula.
Total cost = ($15 × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost$61,500 2,100 units)
Production Total(Units) Cost
June 1,000 $45,550July 1,500 52,000August 2,100 61,500September 1,800 57,500October 750 41,250
Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost
1
11-1719-17
$61,500 = ($15 × 2,100 units) + Fixed cost$61,500 = $31,500 + Fixed cost
$61,500 – $31,500 = Fixed cost
$30,000 = Fixed cost
If the lowest level had been chosen, the results of the formula would provide the same fixed cost of $30,000.

11-1819-18
With fixed costs and variable costs estimated at $30,000 and $15 per unit, a formula is in place to estimate production at any level. If the company is expected to produce 950 units in November, the estimated total overhead would be calculated as follows:
Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units of Production) + Fixed cost
Total Cost = $15 (950) + $30,000
Total Cost = $44,250

Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships
Cost-volume-profit analysis is the examination of the relationships among selling prices, sales and production volume, costs, expenses, and profits.

The contribution margin is the excess of sales revenues over variable costs. It is especially useful because it provides insight into the profit potential of a company.

Contribution Margin Ratio (in dollars)
The contribution margin ratio is most useful when the increase or decrease in sales volume is measured in sales dollars. In this case, the following formula is used to determine change in income from operations.

Using Contribution Margin per Unit as a Shortcut
Lambert Inc.’s sales could be increased by 15,000 units from 50,000 to 65,000 units. Lambert’s income from operations would increase by $120,000 (15,000 × $8) as shown below.

Unit selling price $25Unit variable cost 15Unit contribution margin $10

Park Co. is evaluating a proposal to pay an additional 2% commission on sales to its salespeople (a variable cost) as an incentive to increase sales. Fixed costs are estimated at $840,000. The unit contribution margin before the additional 2% commission is determined below.
Unit selling price $250Unit variable cost 145Unit contribution margin $105

11-3019-30
Without additional 2% commission:
$250 – [$145 + ($250 × 2%)] = $100
Break-Even in Sales (units) =$840,000
$105=
8,000 units
With additional 2% commission:

A point on the chart is needed to establish the revenue line. An arbitrary sales amount is picked of 10,000 units. At this sales level, the cost should be $400,000, calculated as follows: [(10,000 × $30) + $100,000] = $400,000.

The line would be the same if another point had been picked. For example, assume that 8,000 units had been chosen. At this sales level, the cost should be $400,000 [(8,000 × $30) + $100,000 = $340,000].

The maximum operating loss is equal to the fixed costs of $100,000. Assuming that the maximum unit sales within the relevant range is 10,000 units, the maximum operating profit is $100,000, computed as follows:

It is useful to think of the individual products as components of one overall enterprise product. For Cascade Company, the overall enterprise product is called E.
Unit selling price of E: ($90 × 0.8) + ($140 × 0.2) = $100
Unit variable cost of E: ($70 × 0.8) + ($95 × 0.2) = 75
