Assignment 2: Course Project—Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis with Capital Budgeting
In this assignment, your goal is to use CVP analysis in a presentation of your project to enable a prospective investor to decide if your project is worth investing in. You will apply the concepts of CVP analysis learned in Modules 3 and 4 to the project you selected in Module 2.
Review the
Course Project Guidelines
.
Assignment Overview:
From the Microsoft Excel worksheet you developed in Modules 3 and 4, create a basic pro forma statement necessary to convince someone to provide the start-up funding of the project and then use this information, along with other outside research to create a Microsoft Power Point presentation. The slides of your presentation should be visually appealing—only containing the key points while the speaker notes associated with each slide should provide the essential details.
Assignment Tasks:
To create a pro forma statement:
Calculate the break-even point for the project and the expected financial returns. (This is the work you have been doing in the CVP template).
Save your final calculations as MS6010_M5A2_CVP_Lastname_Firstinitial.xls. The completed template must accompany the slide presentation.
- Open the Cost-Volume-Profit spreadsheet that you have been working in and calculate the break-even point.of your proposed project. (Access the CVP template if you have not yet begun this work)
- The project must use a 6.5% cost of capital and a tax rate of 25%.
- Complete IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and NPV (Net Present Value) for the project.
- You should have also considered key points of any intangible benefits or costs associated with the project and begun supplementing your pro forma statement with sufficient background information to enable a prospective investor to decide if your company is worth investing in.
The detail must have enough historic data to give an investor an understanding of trends.
You should also have sufficient written background so that a potential investor understands the business. Use the speaker notes area of your presentation to add background information that you would communicate verbally in a presentation. This background information should be 1 to 2 pages in length.
Make sure you show your Excel formulas or provide calculations so your instructor can review your work.

Introduction
Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. is soft drink Company based in the United States, and it focuses on the production, marketing, and supply of soft drinks. The company’s beverage products are categorized in two, the non-carbonated soft drinks and the carbonated beverages that are flavored. The company operates in three segments for it to be able to meet its customers’ demands. The departments are Soft drink Concentrates, Packaging department, and the Latin American soft drinks. The first segment, the beverage concentrates is accountable for production and sale of the carbonated beverages among other branded syrups and concentrates. The second section which is the packaging segment is responsible for production and distribution of the packaged soft drinks among other products through the direct delivery system to the retail outlets. The third portion focuses on producing and supplying syrups, concentrates and finished soft drink products. Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. holds a market share of 14.7% positioning it in the third place after Pepsi-Cola which has 35.3% of its market share (Hill, 2012). Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. has defined its briefcase efficiently through concentrating on their sales and marketing resources. The company’s marketing strategy will enable the organization to focus on the various market analyses which will allow the company to identify the impact the critical brands produced and how they could improve them to gain a more significant market share (Hoskisson, 2012).
Through the information gathered from the market, analysis sources show that the company expense will not be affected because the products that the targeted population need are not new products in the market. Also through the third-party distribution plan and the increase of the in-store activity contributes significantly to minimizing the cost of the advertisement.
The Break-Even Point The break-even point is calculated by comparing the amount of units that have to be sold in order to cover for the fixed and variable costs. In the case of Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc, the break-even point analysis will be based on the number of units that the company has to sell in order to cover for all expenses.
Break-even point in units= Fixed Costs/(Sales price per unit-variable cost per unit)
=$100,000/$75-$67
=$100,000/$8
=12,500 units
Internal Rate of Return The internal rate of return (IRR) will be used to assess the profitability of the project undertaken by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.
With a break-even point in units of 12,500, and a calculated volume of 12,500, the company can reach its break-even point within one period.

Using figures from your Profit and Loss Projection, enter expected annual fixed and variable costs.
Fixed costs are those that remain the same regardless of your sales volume. They are expressed in dollars. Rent, insurance and real estate taxes, for example, are usually fixed.Variable costs
Under the variable expenses column, use whole numbers as a percentage, not decimal numbers. For example, use

The categories of expense shown above are just suggestions. Change the labels to reflect your own accounting systems and type of business. Breakeven is a “big picture” kind of tool; we recommend that you combine expense categories to stay within the 22 lines that this template allows.
One of the best uses of breakeven analysis is to play with various scenarios. For instance, if you add another person to the payroll, how many extra sales dollars will be needed to recover the extra salary expense? If you borrow, how much will be needed to cover the increased principal and interest payments? Many owners, especially retailers, like to calculate a daily breakdown. This gives everyone a target to shoot at for the day.Project Capital Budget and BE

Breakeven Sales in Units
Some of the material has been sourced from: http://www.score.org/downloads/Break-Even%20Analysis1.xls
Total will be calculated automatically.
Fixed costs are only those costs that stay the same even when unit sales changes. Not all of these items in this list will be fixed for your particular case. Each one needs to be evaluated.
Variable costs are only those costs that change in equilevant terms when sales units change. Not all of these items in this list will be fixed for your particular case. Each one needs to be evaluated. If you use CGS, you will not use the other three. Change titles if needed. Enter the percent of sales.
These costs are a combination of both variable and mixed. For example your cell phone bill has a monthly rent that never changes and a price per minute for usage.
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis allows you to determine how changes in costs, changes in the units(volume), changes in sales or sales units, or changes in variable cost effect the overall profit of the company. Using this model you can adjust these items and see the result on breakeven.
