Concept introduction:

Cost Volume Profit (CVP) Analysis:

The Cost Volume Profit analysis is the analysis of the relation between cost, volume, and profit of a product. It analyzes the cost and profits at the different level of production, in order to determine the breakeven point and required the level of sales to earn the desired profit.

Contribution margin means the margin that is left with the company after recovering variable cost out of revenue earned by selling smart phones. The formula for contribution margin is as follows:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost.

Similarly contribution margin ratio = Contribution/sales

Breakeven Point:

The Breakeven point is the level of sales at which the net profit is nil. It can be explained as a situation where the business is generating a sale that is equal to the expenses incurred and hence no profits no loss. Breakeven point in $ is calculated with the help of following formula:

Breakeven point (units) = Total Fixed Costs(Sales Price Per unit -Variable Cost per unit) 

Requirement-1:

To indicate:

The Differences between the given companies

Can you help me with the Shawnee Motors Inc variable costing income statement.  The choices are: Contribution Margin Fixed Selling & admin expenses Manufacturing margin Sales Variable selling & admin expenses Variable cost of goods sold Income from operations total fixed costs loss from operations
Most businesses sell several products at varying prices. The products often have different unit variable costs. Thus, the total profit and the breakeven point depend on the proportions in which the products are sold. Sales mix is the relative contribution of sales among various products sold by a firm. Assume that the sales of Jordan Incorporated for a typical year are as follows: Product Units Sold Sales Mix A 18,288 80% B 4,572 20 Total 22,860 100% Assume the following unit selling prices and unit variable costs: Product Selling Price Variable Cost Contribution Margin A $ 89 $ 74 $ 15 B 149 109 40 Fixed costs are $418,000 per year. Assume that the sales mix, expressed in terms of relative physical units sold, is constant as sales volume changes. Required: Determine the breakeven point in total units and, for this breakeven point, calculate the number of units of A and B that must be sold. Use the weighted-average contribution margin approach. Determine the…

Assume that the sales mix, expressed in terms of relative physical units sold, is constant as sales volume changes.   Required:5. Assume the original facts except that now fixed costs are expected to be $42,400 higher than originally planned. How does this expected increase in fixed costs affect the breakeven point in…
