(Kimmel‚ P.‚ Weygandt‚ J.‚ & Kieso‚ D. 2003) The analysis is used to maximize efficiency in a business. In order to be effective the CVP analysis has to make several assumptions. These assumptions are that the costs can be fitted into either fixed or variable categories. The next assumption is that changes that a business makes in its activities are the only thing that will affect costs. The business must assume that all units of a good or service are sold. The last two assumptions are that “behavior
Premium Variable cost Costs Contribution margin
the amount of revenue per product that is available to "contribute" towards the fixed costs and the profit of the company. Since‚ for digital products‚ the variable costs are typically very small‚ or zero‚ most of the revenue earned from the sale of a product form the contribution margin. Assuming the contribution margin (unit price - unit variable cost) > 0‚ then the product is worth marketing‚ since the fixed costs are sunk. This also assumes the product does not cannibalize sales from another product

fixed cost and the variable cost of books while calculating the total cost. Finally‚ they overlooked the possible increase in the annual capacity of processed donations that would result from hiring additional employees. To correct these errors‚ I revised the cost schedules and the income statements for both before and after acquiring additional funds. I decided to use the contribution approach because I believe that it will be more relevant to separate the fixed cost and the variable cost‚ since they

cost for a new project at $100‚000 and a variable cost of $5 per unit. Based on these calculations‚ the low-volume project would not be profitable. She shares her dismay with Nina Smythe‚ another manager. Nina strongly advises her to revise her estimates. She points out that several of the costs that had been classified as fixed costs could be considered variable‚ since they are mixed costs. When the data has been revised classifying those costs as variable costs‚ the project appears viable. Part

Two potential problems that should be avoided in relevant cost analysis are: 1. 2. Do not assume all variable costs are relevant and all fixed costs are irrelevant. Do not use unit-cost data directly. It can mislead decision makers because a. it may include irrelevant costs‚ and b. comparisons of unit costs computed at different output levels lead to erroneous conclusions 11-6 No. Some variable costs may not differ among the alternatives under consideration and‚ hence‚ will be irrelevant. Some
