Cost Analysis

8.1: What is cost analysis?

Cost Analysis is the breakdown and examination of costs of a product. It is important to analyze costs in order to
know each cost precisely and to calculate expected profit accordingly. The accuracy of cost estimation leads to a
good revenue amount

8.2: Purpose of Cost Analysis

When developing a business plan for a new or existing company, product or project planners typically make cost
estimates in order to assess whether revenues/benefits will cover costs (cost benefit analysis). Cost are often
underestimated, resulting in cost overrun during execution.

i) Fixed Cost.
ii) Variable Cost.

8.4: Bill of Material:

Components Material Unit Cost (Taka) % of Cost

Board Red Oak 3000 50.25%


Plywood Gurjan wood 1200 20.10%
Wood Pine wood 1000 16.75%

8.7: Break Even Analysis:


BEPs= Break-even point in units
S= Selling price per unit= 8500TK
Q= Total number of unit produced= 550
TR= Total revenue= (S*Q) =Total sale= 4675000 TK
F= Fixed cost= 126700TK
V= Variable cost= 7170TK
TC= Total cost= F+VQ=4070200TK
BEPx=F/(S-V) =95.26
BEPs= {F/(S-V)}*S=52394.73
Profit=TR-TC=604800TK

8.6.3: Explanation of the Break-even analysis


4|Page
After the analysis, we can see that break-even quantity for our product is 95.26 units.
The interpretation of that figure is, if the sales amount is exactly unit’s total revenue
will be equal to total cost which is around 550000 BDT. When sales amount exceeds
95.26 units, we will begin to earn profit.
