After studying this chapter, you should
be able to:
1. Classify costs by their behavior as
variable costs, fixed costs, or mixed
costs.
2. Compute the contribution margin, the
contribution margin ratio, and the
unit contribution margin, and explain
how they may be useful to managers.

be able to:
3. Use the unit contribution margin,
determine the break-even point and
the volume necessary to achieve a
target profit.
4. Use a cost-volume-profit chart and a
profit-volume chart, determine the
break-even point and the volume
necessary to achieve a target profit. 3

Cost Behavior
Cost behavior refers to the manner in

which a cost changes as a related
activity changes. Such activities are
called activity base (or activity
drivers). The range of activity over
which the changes in the cost are of
interest is called the relevant range.

Variable Costs
Variable costs are

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

systems under the brand name of
TS-12. The parts for the TS-12
stereos are purchased from outside

Mixed Costs
A mixed cost (sometimes called

semivariable or semifixed costs) has
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.

and units produced in
October 750 41,250 the formula.
Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit x Units of Production)

+ Fixed cost
Total cost = (RM15 x 2,100 units of Production) + Fixed Cost
RM61,500
25

26
8-1
RM61,500 = (RM15 x 2,100 units) + Fixed cost

RM61,500 = RM31,500 + Fixed cost
RM61,500 – RM31,500 = Fixed cost
RM30,000 = Fixed cost
If the lowest level had been

chosen, the results of the
formula would provide the
same fixed cost of RM30,000.

The manufacturing cost of Perusahaan Alisa for
the first three months of the year are provided
below:
Total Cost Production
January RM80,000 1,000 units
February RM125,000 2,500

Follow My Example 8-1
RM125,000 – RM80,000
a. RM30 per unit =
(2,500 – 1,000)

The contribution margin is the
excess of sales revenues over
variable costs. It contributes first
toward covering fixed costs, then
contributes to profit.

The unit contribution margin

is also useful for analyzing the

Revised Cost-Volume-Profit Chart
Using the data in Slide 73, assume that

a proposal to reduce fixed cost by
RM20,000 is to be evaluated. A cost-

assist in this evaluation.

Profit-Volume Chart
Another graphic approach to cost-volume-

plots only the difference between total
sales and total costs (or profits). Again, the
data from Exhibit 5 will be used.

The maximum operating loss is equal to the
fixed costs of RM100,000. Assuming that the
maximum unit sales within the relevant range is
10,000 units, the maximum operating profit is
RM100,000, computed as follows:
Sales (10,000 units x RM50) RM500,000
Variable costs (10,000 units x RM30) 300,000
Contribution margin (10,000 units x RM20) 200,000

Operating Leverage
The relative mix of a business’s variable costs

and fixed costs is measured by the operating
leverage. It is computed as follows:
Contribution Margin
Operating Leverage = Income from Operations

Margin of Safety
The difference between the

current sales revenue and the
sales revenue at the break-
even point is called the
margin of safety.
86
87
8-5
If sales are RM250,000, the unit selling price is RM25,
and the sales at the break-even point are RM200,000, the
margin of safety is 20%, computed as follows:
Sales – Sales at Break-Even Point

Margin of Safety =
Sales
RM250,000 – RM200,000
Margin of Safety =
RM250,000
Margin of Safety = 20%
95
87
88
8-5
The margin of safety may also be
stated in terms of units. In this
illustration, for example, the
margin of safety of 20% is
equivalent to RM50,000 in sales
(RM250,000 x 20%). In units, the
margin of safety is 2,000 units
(RM50,000/RM25).

Syarikat Rariq has sales of RM400,000, and the break-

even point in sales RM is RM300,000. Determine the
company’s margin of safety.

Assumptions of Cost-Volume-Profit
Analysis
The primary assumptions are:

1. Total sales and total costs can be represented by a
straight line.
2. Within the relevant range of operating activity, the
efficiency of operations does not change.
3. Costs can be accurately divided into fixed and
variable components.
4. The sales mix is constant.
5. There is no change in the inventory quantities
during the period.
