A Mobile shop sells 5000 mobiles in a year and the sales is relatively constant throughout the year. These mobiles are purchased for SR 150.00 each, and the lead time is two days. The holding cost per mobile per year is 6% of the unit cost and the ordering cost per order is SR 37.50. There are 250 working days per year. Calculate the following: (i) What is the annual holding cost? (ii) In minimizing the cost, how many orders would be made each year? (iii) Given the EOQ, what is the total annual inventory cost (including purchase cost)?
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.
