Break–Even Point
Break-even point = amount of revenue needed
to break-even, meaning no profit or loss ($0)
BE in units = Fixed Expenses / CM per unit
BE in sales dollars = Fixed Expenses / CM Ratio

Break-Even Analysis
(p. 439-441) cont’d.
• Volume in Units at BE = Fixed expenses / CM
per unit
= $45,000 / $4 = 11,250 units
• Total Revenues at BE = Fixed expenses / CM
Ratio
= $45,000 / 33.3% = $135,000 in revenues
•
(Double check= 11,250 units x $12 selling price =
$135,000 sales revenues)

Target Pricing (p.441) – $50,000
operating income target
• Volume in units for desired operating income
= (Fixed expenses + desired operating
income) / CM per unit
=($45,000 + $50,000) / $4 = 23,750 units
• Total revenues for desired operating income =
(Fixed expenses + desired operating income) /
CM ratio
=($45,000 + $50,000) / 33.33% = $285,000

Margin of Safety (p.443)
• Margin of Safety = amount of sales decline a
company could withstand before a loss would
be incurred (loss cushion)
• Margin of Safety = Total sales – BE Sales
• Margin of Safety Ratio = Margin of Safety /
Total Sales

Margin of Safety (cont’d)
• Assume sales revenue = $150,000 and BE sales
= $135,000
• Margin of Safety = Total Sales – BE Sales
= $150,000 – $135 000 = $15,000
• Margin of Safety Ratio = Margin of Safety /
Total Sales
= $15,000 / $150,000 = 10%
• If sales drop 10% or $15,000, company will still
break-even ($0 profit or loss)

Multiple Product Mix Consideration
Sales mix is the relative combination in which
a company’s different products are sold.
Different products have different selling
prices, costs, and contribution margins.
A change in the sales mix will result in a
different contribution margin ratio.
Learning Objective 12-10: Analyze how changes in the sales mix can affect projections using CVP analysis.

Multiple Product Mix Consideration
How will average total contribution margin change if YardCare sold
1,500 lawn tractors, all other factors held constant?
This ratio increases from 48 percent to 50 due to selling more
product with a higher CM ratio.

Operating Leverage
When an entity’s revenues change because the volume of activity
changes, variable expenses and contribution margin will change
proportionately. But the presence of fixed expenses, which do not
change as the volume of activity changes, means that operating
income will change proportionately more than the change in
revenues.
This magnification of the
effect on operating income
resulting from a change in
revenue is called “operating
leverage.” The higher a firm’s
contribution margin ratio, the
greater its operating
leverage.
Learning Objective 12-12: Use operating leverage to evaluate cost structures.

Operating Leverage
• A measure of how sensitive net income is to
percentage changes in sales.
• With high operating leverage, a small
percentage increase in revenue can produce a
much larger percentage increase in income.

Operating Leverage
20 percent increase in revenue
80 percent increase in income
Operating leverage resulted in the operating income
increasing proportionately more than the increase in revenue.
