Any CVP analysis should always begin with the calculation of the Profits:
Profits = Total Revenues /sales – Total cost
By dividing the costs by its fixed and variable components profits can be expressed as
Profits = Total Revenues / Sales– Total Variable Costs – Total Fixed Costs
=10,225.107 -8,957.636 -538.370
=729.101 mio
Contribution Margin (in dollars)=Total revenue/sales - total variable cost
=10,225.107 -8,957.636
=1,267.472 mio
In the similar way,
contribution margin per unit =Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
=1.623-1.428
=.915 mio
much of revenue/sales from each unit that can be applied to the fixed costs can be answered by
the contribution and contribution margin per unit. When sufficient units have been sold in order
to cover all fixed costs then the contribution margin per unit from the remaining sales is a profit.
Break even analysis
1.Equation method
At the break even point profit equal zero,
Sales=Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + profit
Or,Unit Selling price *Quality sold=(Unit variable expenses*Quantity sold)+ Fixed expenses +
profit
Or,1.623*Q=1.428*Q + 538.370 + 0
Or,.195Q=538.370
Then, Q=2760.872 mio mt
2.Equation Margin Method
Has two key equations:
(i)Break even point in units sold=Fixed expenses/unit CM
=538.369/.195
=2760.872 units
(ii)Break even point in total sales dollars= Fixed expenses/CM ratio
=538.370/(10,225.108 -8,957.636)/10,225.107}
=538.370/12%
=4341.694 mio
