Curvilinear cost-volume graph
1. Results in two break-even points.2. Note the shape of the total cost function: • initial steep rise, levels off, followed by a further steep rise.3. The total revenue line initially rises steeply, then levels off and declines.

Linear cost–volume–profit model
1. Constant variable cost and selling price is assumed.
2. Only one break-even point, and profit increases as volume increases.
3. The diagram is not intended to provide an accurate representation for all levels of output. The objective is to provide an accurate representation of cost and revenue behaviour only within the relevant range of output.

Fixed cost function1. Within the short term the firm anticipates that it will operate between
output levels Q1 and Q2 and commits itself to fixed costs of 0X.Costs are fixed in the short term, but can be changed in the longer term.

CVP analysis: non-graphical computations
1. Example 1
Fixed costs per annum £60 000Unit selling price £20Unit variable cost £10Relevant range 4 000 - 12 000 units
Determine the break-even point and the number of units to be sold if desired profit is £30 000.
2. Break-even point
Fixed costs Contribution per unit
3. Units to be sold to obtain a £30 000 profit:
Fixed costs + desired profit Contribution per unit

4. If unit fixed costs and revenues are not given, the break-even point (expressed in sales values) can be calculated as follows:
Total fixed costs x Total sales Total contribution
5. Profit volume ratio = Contribution x 100 Sales revenue
6. Percentage margin of safety = Expected sales - Break-even sales Expected sales

CVP analysis assumptions1. All other variables remain constant • e.g.sales mix, production efficiency, price levels, production methods.
2. A single product or constant sales mix
3. Total costs and total revenues are linear functions of output
4. The analysis applies only to the relevant range.
5. The analysis applies only to a short-term horizon.

• Preparation of break-even and profit-volume graphsPreparation of break-even and profit-volume graphsPreparation of break-even and profit-volume graphsPreparation of break-even and profit-volume graphs ZED plc manufactures one standard product, which
sells at £10. You are required to:
(a) Prepare from the data given below, a break-even and profit-volume graph showing the results for the six months ending 30 April and to determine:
(i) the fixed costs
(ii) the variable cost per unit
(iii) the profit-volume ratio
(iv) the break-even point
(v) the margin of safety
Month Sales (units) Profit/(loss)
