The selling price of a component is 1.3 Riyal with a material cost of 0.6 Riyal. The cost of the machine used to manufacture the component is15000 Riyals. The present production volume is 22000 units. Determine the breakeven quantity, if the cost of the component is 1.5 Riyal from outside supplier. Due to modification in the component design, the material cost is reduced to 0.50 riyal with additional machine cost of 4000 Riyals and increased production quantity to 30000. Guide the manger to select appropriate product for maximum profit based on profit, break-even analysis and justify the (selection.
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.
