Es el primer paso para determinar el costo fijo insertar el costo variable de $ 15 en la siguiente fórmula:

Coste total = ($ 15 × unidades de producción) + costo fijo

Estimación de costos fijos mediante punto alto-bajo

Costo total = (costo de variable por unidad × unidades de producción) + costos fijos

Using the highest level of production, we insert the total cost and units produced in the formula.

Total cost = ($15 × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost$61,500 2,100 units)

Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units of Production) + Fixed Cost

11-74-7

$61,500 = ($15 × 2,100 units) + Fixed cost$61,500 = $31,500 + Fixed cost

$61,500 – $31,500 = Fixed cost

$30,000 = Fixed cost

If the lowest level had been chosen, the results of the formula would provide the same fixed cost of $30,000.

11-84-8

With fixed costs and variable costs estimated at $30,000 and $15 per unit, a formula is in place to estimate production at any level. If the company is expected to produce 950 units in November, the estimated total overhead would be calculated as follows:

Total Cost = (Variable Cost per Unit × Units of Production) + Fixed cost

Total Cost = $15 (950) + $30,000

Total Cost = $44,250

Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships

Cost-volume-profit analysis is the examination of the relationships among selling prices, sales and production volume, costs, expenses, and profits.

The contribution margin is the excess of sales revenues over variable costs. It is especially useful because it provides insight into the profit potential of a company.

Contribution Margin Ratio (in dollars)

The contribution margin ratio is most useful when the increase or decrease in sales volume is measured in sales dollars. In this case, the following formula is used to determine change in income from operations.

Using Contribution Margin per Unit as a Shortcut

Lambert Inc.’s sales could be increased by 15,000 units from 50,000 to 65,000 units. Lambert’s income from operations would increase by $120,000 (15,000 × $8) as shown below.

Park Co. is evaluating a proposal to pay an additional 2% commission on sales to its salespeople (a variable cost) as an incentive to increase sales. Fixed costs are estimated at $840,000. The unit contribution margin before the additional 2% commission is determined below.

The sales volume required to earn a target profit is determined by modifying the break-even equation.

Units Required for Target Profit

Fixed costs are estimated at $200,000, and the desired profit is $100,000. Unit contribution margin is $30.

A point on the chart is needed to establish the revenue line. An arbitrary sales amount is picked of 10,000 units. At this sales level, the cost should be $400,000, calculated as follows: [(10,000 × $30) + $100,000] = $400,000.

The line would be the same if another point had been picked. For example, assume that 8,000 units had been chosen. At this sales level, the cost should be $400,000 [(8,000 × $30) + $100,000 = $340,000].

The maximum operating loss is equal to the fixed costs of $100,000. Assuming that the maximum unit sales within the relevant range is 10,000 units, the maximum operating profit is $100,000, computed as follows:

It is useful to think of the individual products as components of one overall enterprise product. For Cascade Company, the overall enterprise product is called E.

Unit selling price of E: ($90 × 0.8) + ($140 × 0.2) = $100

Unit variable cost of E: ($70 × 0.8) + ($95 × 0.2) = 75

Unit contribution margin of E: $ 25
