Breakeven/CVP Analysis

Contribution = Sales price – Variable costs

Breakeven point =

Breakeven sales revenue =

Output required for target profit =

Breakeven/CVP Analysis

Sales revenue required for target profit =

Margin of safety = Budgeted level of activity – Breakeven level of activity

Margin of safety (%) = x 100%

Breakeven Chart
Breakeven point: the point where:

total costs = total sales revenue

& where there is neither a profit or loss

Multi-product breakeven analysis

The calculation of breakeven point in a multi-product firm follows the same pattern
as in a single product firm. While the numerator will be the same fixed costs, the
denominator now will be the weighted average contribution margin

In multi-product situations, a weighted average C/S ratio is calculated by using the


formula:

Weighted Average C/S ratio =

Contribution Breakeven Chart

The Weighted Average C/S ratio is useful in its own right, as it tells us what
percentage each $ of sales revenue contributes towards fixed costs; it is also
invaluable in helping us to quickly calculate the breakeven point in sales revenue:

Breakeven revenue =

Contribution Breakeven Chart
Step 1 : Calculate the C/S ratio of each product being sold, and rank the
products in order of profitability.

Step 2 : Draw the graph, showing cumulative sales on the x-axis.

Step 3 : Draw the line that represents the profit earned by product X.

Step 4 : Draw the line that represents the profit earned by product y, which has
a lower contribution per unit than product X.

Step 5 : Draw the line joining the first and last points: it reflects the average
profitability of the three products, and each point on that line represents the
profit earned for the associated output, assuming that the three products are
sold in the standard product mix, i.e. the mix implied in the construction of the
