A company sold a total of 1,000 units for total sales revenue of $70,000. The company incurred total variable expenses of $38,500 and total fixed expenses of $ 23,310. Based on this, the company reported a total contribution margin of $31,500 and net operating income of $ 8,190. Use this information to answer the following questions. Assume that all units are within the relevant range. alculate the estimated percent increase in net operating income for a 5% increase in sales. (Hint: Use the degree of operating verage you already computed.) (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.) ncrease in net operating income %
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis is a cost accounting method that analyses the effect of fluctuating cost and volume on the operating profit. Also known as break-even analysis, CVP determines the break-even point for varying volumes of sales and cost structures. This information helps the managers make economic decisions on a short-term basis. CVP analysis is based on many assumptions. Sales price, variable costs, and fixed costs per unit are assumed to be constant. The analysis also assumes that all units produced are sold and costs get impacted due to changes in activities. All costs incurred by the company like administrative, manufacturing, and selling costs are identified as either fixed or variable.
Marginal Costing
Marginal cost is defined as the change in the total cost which takes place when one additional unit of a product is manufactured. The marginal cost is influenced only by the variations which generally occur in the variable costs because the fixed costs remain the same irrespective of the output produced. The concept of marginal cost is used for product pricing when the customers want the lowest possible price for a certain number of orders. There is no accounting entry for marginal cost and it is only used by the management for taking effective decisions.
