STUDY UNIT 3 – Cost-volume-profit analysis:
Contribution:
Sales – total variable costs
Contribution ratio:

𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒔
× 100%
Profit can be calculated as:
Y = bx – a
Y = net profit (0 at breakeven)
B = contribution per unit
X = number of units sold
A = total fixed costs
Breakeven point in units:
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡
Breakeven value:
breakeven value × selling price per unit
OR
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡
𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
Margin of safety in units:
total sales(units) – breakeven sales(units)
Margin of safety in value:
total sales – breakeven sales
Margin of safety ratio in units (%):
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠(𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠)−𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠(𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠)
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠(𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠)
