3.0 Selected FORMULAS (within the relevant range)

CONTROLLING FORMULAS
P = CM – FC P = CM – FC
CM = FC + P CM = FC + P
QS (UCM) = FC + P S (CMR) = FC + P
QS = (FC + P) / UCM S = (FC + P) / CMR
Primary Formulas Secondary Formulas
Contribution margin CM = S – VC CM = FC + PBT
CM = S x CMR CM = QS x UCM
Contribution margin ratio CMR = CM / S CMR = ΔP / ΔS
CMR = 1 – VCR CMR = PR / MSR
CMR = 1 – (VC / S)
CMR = UCM / USP
Unit contribution margin UCM = USP - UVC UCM = CM / QS
UCM = FC / BEPU
Profit before tax PBT = CM - FC PBT = S x (CMR x MSR)
PBT = PAT / (1 – TR) PBT = S x PR
Variable cost ratio VCR = UVC / USP VCR = ΔC / ΔS
VCR = VC / S VCR = (ΔC - ↑ in FC) / ΔS
VCR = 100% - CMR VCR = (ΔC +↓ in FC) / ΔS
Breakeven point in units BEPU = FC / UCM BPU = QS x (1 – MSR)
Breakeven point in pesos BEPP = FC / CMR BPU = S x (1 – MSR)
Composite BEPU CBEPU = FC / Average UCM
Composite BEPP CBEPP = FC / Average CMR
At breakeven point P/L = 0 FC = CM
FC = BEPU x UCM
BEPU = FC / UCM
Sales in units S = (FC + PBT) / UCM S = FC / (UCM – UPM)
Sales in pesos S = (FC + PBT) / CMR S = FC / (CMR – PR)
Margin of safety in units MSU = BS in units – BEPU MSU = Sales in units x MSR
Margin in safety in pesos MSP = BS in pesos - BEPP MSR = Sales in pesos x MSR
Margin of safety ratio MSR = MS /BS MSR = PR / CMR
MSR = 1 / (BEP / S) MSR = 1 / DOL
Profit ratio PR = UPM / USP PR = MS x CMR
PR = P/S
Degree of operating DOL = CM / EBIT DOL = 1 / MSR
leverage (DOL) DOL = ΔEBIT / ΔS
DOL = ΔEBIT / ΔCM
Indifference point, general Profit(1) = Profit (2) CM(1) – FC(1) = CM(2) – FC(2)
formula
Indifference point if USP is TC(1) = TC(2), FC(1) + VC(1) = FC(2) + VC(2)
