CVP Analysis - Marginal Costing (Ok Na!)
CVP Analysis - Marginal Costing (Ok Na!)
☛APPLICATIONS OF CVP ANALYSIS Linearity – the behaviour of sales and costs is linear.
Planning and decision-making, which may involve Behaviour of sales, costs and expenses:
choosing the:
Sales – it changes directly in relation to the
1. Type of product to produce and sell; level of units sold.
2. Pricing policy to follow; Fixed costs – total fixed cost is constant
3. Marketing strategy to use; and without regard to the change in the level of
4. Type of productive facilities to acquire units of production and sales; unit fixed
cost changes
☛INHERENT SIMPLIFYING ASSUMPTIONS OF CVP
Variable costs – total variable costs change
ANALYSIS
in direct proportion with the level of units
1. All costs are classifiable as either variable or produced and sold; unit variable cost is
fixed constant
2. Cost and revenue relationships are
Selling price – assumed to be constant
predictable and linear over a relevant range
of activity and a specified period of time WIP inventory – disregarded, there is no WIP
3. Total variable costs change directly with the
inventory
cost driver, but variable costs per unit are
constant over the relevant range FG inventory – no change in the FG inventory

☛MARGIN OF SAFETY
indicates the amount by which actual or planned sales may be reduced without incurring a loss. It is the
difference between actual or planned sales volume and break even sales
☛OPERATING LEVERAGE
a measure of extent to which fixed costs are being used in an organization. The greater the fixed costs in
relation to variable cost, the greater is the operating leverage available and the greater is the sensitivity of
income to changes in sales.

a measure of the sensitivity of profit changes to changes in sales volume. DOL measures the percentage of
change in profit that results from a percentage of change in sales
Margin of Safety
MS = Actual sales – Actual break- where:
even sales
MS = Budgeted sales – Budgeted MS= margin of Safety
break-even sales MSR= Margin of Safety Ratio
MS = Sales x MSRatio NPR= Net Profit Ratio
MSR = MS / Actual (or Budgeted) CM/R= Contribution Margin/Ratio
sales BE= Break-even
MSR = NPR / CMR
USP= Unit Selling Price
MSR = [1 – (BESales / Actual Sales)]
DOL= Degree of Operating Leverage
NPRatio
NPRatio = Unit Profit Margin / USP EBIT= Earnings Before Interests and
NPRatio = MSR x CMR Taxes
Degree of operating leverage
DOL = CM/ EBIT
DOL = %∆ in EBIT / % ∆in Sales
☛SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
a “what-if” technique that examines the impact of changes on an answer. For example,
computer spreadsheets are used to analyze changes in prices, variable costs, and fixed costs on
expected profits.
