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
To calculate:

- Delta Co. sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost per unit is $90 and fixed costs are $15,250. Delta Co.s tax rate is 36% and the company wants to earn $44,000 after taxes. What would be Deltas desired pre-tax income? What would be break-even point in units to reach the income goal of $44,000 after taxes? What would be break-even point in sales dollars to reach the income goal of $44000 after taxes? Create a contribution margin income statement to show that the break-even point calculated in B, generates the desired after-tax income.arrow_forwardGelbart Company manufactures gas grills.

- Jansen Crafters has the capacity to produce 50,000 oak shelves per year and is currently selling 44,000 shelves for $32 each. Cutrate Furniture approached Jansen about buying 1,200 shelves for bookcases it is building and is willing to pay $26 for each shelf. No packaging will be required for the bulk order. Jansen usually packages shelves for Home Depot at a price of $1.50 per shell. The $1.50 per-shelf cost is included in the unit variable cost of $27, with annual fixed costs of $320.000. However, the $130 packaging cost will not apply in this case. The fixed costs will be unaffected by the special order and the company has the capacity to accept the order. Based on this information, what would be the profit if Jansen accepts the special order? A. Profits will decrease by $1,200. B. Profits will increase by $31,200. C. Profits will increase by $600. D. Profits will increase by $7,200.arrow_forwardMaple Inc. manufactures a product that costs $25 per unit plus $43,000 in fixed costs each month. Maple currently sells 6,000 of these units per month for $47 each. If Maple leased a machine for $12,000 a month, it could add features to the product that would allow it to sell for $53 each. It would cost an additional $9 per unit to add these features. How much would Maple's profit be affected if it leased the machine and added features to its product?
