Costs, Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Break-Even analysis Dr. Nandita Sethi
The Nature of Costs Explicit Costs Accounting Costs Economic Costs Implicit Costs Alternative or Opportunity Costs Relevant Costs Incremental Costs Sunk Costs are Irrelevant
Short-Run Cost Functions Total Cost = TC = f(Q ) Total Fixed Cost = TFC Total Variable Cost = TVC TC = TFC + TVC
Short-Run Cost Functions Average Total Cost = ATC = TC/Q Average Fixed Cost = AFC = TFC/Q Average Variable Cost = AVC = TVC/Q ATC = AFC + AVC Marginal Cost = TC/ Q = TVC/ Q
Economic Costs Total Cost = TFC +TVC Total Fixed Cost = K Total Variable cost = f (Q) Average Cost = TC/Q = AFC + AVC (Unit cost) Average Fixed Cost = TFC/Q Average Variable Cost = TVC /Q Marginal Cost = TCn – TC n-1 OR = ẟTC/ ẟQ
Cost Terms Fixed Costs: costs that remain constant regardless of the quantity of product produced. Variable Costs: costs that increase linearly and proportionately as production volume increases. Profit = (Sales Revenue-Variable Cost) - Fixed Cost Total Contribution Margin

Cost Terms (Continued) Cost Driver: Manufacturing Cost: Sales and General Administrative Costs: Direct and Indirect Costs: Controllable and Uncontrollable Costs: Product/Period Cost: Any activity or event that causes costs to be incurred. Direct material (DM), direct labor (DL), and manufacturing overhead (MOH). All costs associated with running the business, excluding production costs. Costs that can either be traced (direct) or not traced (indirect) to a specific department in the organization. Costs used to describe the extent of a manager ’ s influence on cost. Refers to the timing which costs become expenses.
Economic Terms Opportunity Cost: Sunk Cost: Differential and Incremental Cost: Marginal Cost: Historical vs Replac- ment Cost Average Cost per Unit: Benefit lost because the choice of one action precludes another action. Costs that have already been incurred and can not be altered by current or future decisions. Difference in the costs incurred under two alternative actions. Cost associated with producing one additional unit. Cost at the time of purchase vs the current cost of acquiring a resource Total cost for the quantity produced, divided by the number of units produced.

Break Even Example Fixed costs = $600000 Sale price of tennis racquet = $200 Variable cost of each tennis racquet = $80 BE= Total fixed costs Sales Price – Variable costs per unit BE = 600000 (200-80) = 600000 120 Break Even = 5000 units
What does it mean for ‘Better Racquets’? 5000 racquets need to be sold in one year to break even That means above a 100 racquets need to be sold every week to break even. If the business sells less than 100 racquets/week then ‘Better racquets’ has made a loss. If the business sells more than 100 racquets/week then ‘Better racquets has made a profit.
A graphical example By using a cost volume graph it illustrates when a profit or loss is expected.
Break Even Graph Dissected Fixed Costs Variable Costs
Total Costs Total costs = Fixed costs + variable costs The Total Costs curve begins at 0 sales and Fixed costs.
Break Even Analysis A worked example Sales Price = $1000 Variable cost per unit = $800 Fixed costs = $30000
Break Even Analysis A worked example Sales Price = $1000 Variable cost per unit = $800 Fixed costs = $30000 BE= Total fixed costs Sales Price – Variable costs per unit BE = 30000 (1000-800) = 30000 200 Break Even = 150 units
DOL at Q units of output (or sales) Degree of Operating Leverage – The percentage change in a firm ’ s operating profit (EBIT) resulting from a 1 percent change in output (sales). = Percentage change in operating profit (EBIT) Percentage change in output (or sales) Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL)
DOL Q units Calculating the DOL for a single product or a single-product firm. = Q ( P – V ) Q ( P – V ) – FC = Q Q – Q BE Computing the DOL
DOL S dollars of sales Calculating the DOL for a multiproduct firm. = S – VC S – VC – FC = EBIT + FC EBIT Computing the DOL
