Types of Costs
The effect of volume of activity on costsVariable costs
Increase or decrease in total in direct proportion to changes in the volume of activity
Fixed costsDo not change over wide ranges of volume
Mixed costsHave both variable and fixed components

Variable Costs
Total variable costs change in direct proportion to changes in the volume of activity
If activity increases, so does the costUnit variable cost remains constant
Volume can be measured in many different ways:
Number of units soldNumber of units producedNumber of miles driven by a delivery vehicleNumber of phone calls placed

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Fixed CostsTend to remain the same in amount, regardless of variations in level of activityExamples:
Straight-line depreciationSalaries
Total fixed costs do not change, but the fixed cost per event depends on the number of events
The more activity, the less the fixed cost per unit

Mixed CostsHave both a fixed and variable componentExample:
Utilities that charge a set fee per month, plus a charge for usageYour cell phoneprovider

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
High-Low MethodMethod to separate mixed costs into variable and fixed componentsIdentify the highest and lowest levels of activity over a period of time
STEP 1: Calculate variable cost per unit
STEP 2: Calculate total fixed cost
STEP 3: Create and use equation to show the behavior of a mixed cost
9
Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost ÷ Change in activity volume
Total fixed cost = Total mixed cost – Total variable cost
Total mixed cost = (Variable cost per unit X number of units) + Total fixed costs

S19-3: MIXED COSTS—HIGH-LOW METHOD
Martin owns a machine shop. In reviewing his utility bill for the last 12 months, he found that his highest bill of $2,800 occurred in August when his machines worked 1,400 machine hours. His lowest utility bill of $2,600 occurred in December when his machines worked 900 machine hours.
1. Calculate (a) the variable rate per machine hour and (b) Martin’s total fixed utility cost.
Variable cost per unit = Change in total cost ÷ Change in activity volume
15
a. Variable cost per unit = ($2,800 - $2,600) ÷ (1,400 – 900) Variable cost per unit = $200 ÷ 500 = 0.40 per machine hour
b. Total fixed cost = Total mixed cost – Total variable cost Total fixed cost = $2,800 – (0.40 X 1,400) Total fixed cost = $2,800 - $560 Total fixed cost = $2,240

S19-3: MIXED COSTS—HIGH-LOW METHOD
Martin owns a machine shop. In reviewing his utility bill for the last 12 months, he found that his highest bill of $2,800 occurred in August when his machines worked 1,400 machine hours. His lowest utility bill of $2,600 occurred in December when his machines worked 900 machine hours.
2. Show the equation for determining the total utility cost for Martin’s.
$ 0.40 per machine hour + $2,240
3. If Martin’s anticipates using 1,200 machine hours in January, predict his total utility bill using the equation from Requirement 2.
($ 0.40 per machine hour x 1,200 machine hours) + $2,240 $480 +$2,240 = $2,720

Basic CVP Analysis
Assumptions:Managers can classify each cost as either variable or fixedOnly factor that affects total costs is change in volume, which increases variable and mixed costs
Fixed costs do not change
18

Breakeven PointSales level at which operating income is zero:
Total revenues equal total costs (expenses)Sales above breakeven result in a profitSales below breakeven result in a loss
19
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Breakeven Point
Two methods to compute breakeven point:Income statement approach
Sales revenue − Total costs = Operating income
Contribution margin approachSales revenue – Variable costs = Contribution margin – Fixed costs = Operating income
20

Income Statement ApproachExpress income in equation form and then break it down into its components:
22
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Contribution Margin ApproachShortcut method
The contribution margin is sales revenue minus variable costs (expenses)
Called contribution margin because the excess of sales revenue over variable costs contributes to covering fixed costs
23

Contribution Margin RatioRatio of contribution margin to sales revenueUsed to compute the breakeven point in terms of sales dollars
Contribution margin is equal to:Sales price – variable cost
Contribution margin divided by sales revenue yields a percentage
Percentage of each dollar of sales revenue that contributes toward fixed costs and profit

S19-7: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF CHANGING SALE PRICE AND VARIABLE COSTS ON BREAKEVEN POINT
Story Park competes with Splash World by providing a variety of rides. Story sells tickets at $50 per person as a one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $10 per person, and fixed costs are $240,000 per month.2. Ignore the information in Requirement 1. Instead, assume that Story Park increases the variable cost from $10 to $20 per ticket. Compute the new breakeven point in tickets and in sales dollars.
45
Units sold = ($240,000 + 0) ÷ ($50 - $20)Units sold = $240,000 ÷ $30 = 8,000 units to breakeven

S19-9: COMPUTING MARGIN OF SAFETY
Story Park competes with Splash World by providing a variety of rides. Story sells tickets at $50 per person as a one-day entrance fee. Variable costs are $10 per person, and fixed costs are $240,000 per month.
1. If Story Park expects to sell 6,200 tickets, compute the margin of safety in tickets and in sales dollars.
46
Expected sales - Breakeven sales = Margin of safety in units6,200 – 6,000 = 200 in units
Margin of safety in units x Sales price = Margin of safety in dollars200 units x $50 = $10,000
