Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
In this memo, I will be performing a cost-volume-analysis based on the cost classifications. I will explain how a CVP analysis can assist management with short-term economic planning. I have accurately computed the break-even quantity and the break-even revenue, and I will determine if the company is breaking even. Lastly, I will see what the CVP analysis implications are on planning. Analysis
Based on the cost calculations, I have performed a CVP analysis. This analysis involved some fixed and variable costs. I was able to accurately calculate the contribution margin, break even points, and the margin safety. This analysis allows for management to make informed financial decisions that will allow them to be able to make certain decisions regarding cost control measure and pricing strategies. The break-even quantity I have calculated shows that the company is currently breaking even which means that the company is able to currently cover all of its costs. Break-even quantity represents the number of units that need to be sold to cover all the costs without encountering a loss. Margin of safety means that there is some wiggle room with the break-even point before there is a loss. Based on the cost calculations, there is $181,687 margin of safety for this company. Having a margin of safety is a positive occurrence for a company because it shows how much the company has before it incurs a loss. In regard to the

special-order situation, we can see that Hampshire will have $33,500 additional in operating income if they agree to sell the additional 5,000 umbrellas. Based on that information, they should accept the special order.
