CVP is so important, management often wants the information reported in a special format income statement.The CVP income statement is for internal use only, classifies costs and expenses as fixed or variable, reports a contribution margin in the body of the statement.

Contribution margin – amount of revenue remaining after deducting all variable costs.

The contribution margin is often reported as a total amount and on a per unit basis.

Effect on Margin of Safety RatioEffect on Margin of Safety RatioEffect on Margin of Safety RatioEffect on Margin of Safety Ratio

The margin of safety ratio of each company is as follows:

The difference in the margin of safety ratio reflects the difference in risk between New Wave and Vargo.

Vargo can sustain a 38% decline in sales before operating at a loss versus only a 19% decline for New Wave before it would be operating “in the red.”

Operating LeverageOperating LeverageOperating LeverageOperating Leverage

Operating leverageOperating leverage refers to the extent that net income reacts to a given change in sales.

Higher fixed costs relative to variable costs cause a company to have higher operating leverage.

When sales revenues are increasing, high operating leverage means that profits will increase rapidly – a good thing.

When sales revenues are declining, too much operating leverage can have devastating consequences.

Operating LeverageOperating LeverageOperating LeverageOperating Leverage

The degree of operating leverage provides a measure of a company’s earnings volatility.

The degree of operating leverage is computed by dividing total contribution margin by net income.

The computations for Vargo and New Wave are:

New Wave’s earnings would go up (or down) by about two times (5.33 ÷ 2.67 = 1.99) as much as Vargo’s with an equal increase in sales.
