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

Theory of constraints, throughput margin, and relevant costs. Washington Industries manufactures electronic testing equipment. Washington also installs the equipment at customers’ sites and ensures that it functions smoothly. Additional information on the manufacturing and installation departments is as follows (capacities are expressed in terms of the number of units of electronic testing equipment):
Washington manufactures only 250 units per year because the installation department has only enough capacity to install 250 units. The equipment sells for $55,000 per unit (installed) and has direct material costs of $30,000. All costs other than direct material costs are fixed. The following requirements refer only to the preceding data. There is no connection between the requirements.
As the newly appointed Controller of Lynbrook, Inc. you have been asked to evaluate
several scenarios that management is considering to improve the overall profitability of
the company. Lynbrook manufactures and sells a product called a Wren, its only
product. The company normally produces and sells 60,000 Wrens each year at a selling
price of $32 per unit. The company's unit costs at this level of activity are included
below:
Direct materials
$10.00
Direct labor
4.50
Variable manufacturing
2.30
overhead
Fixed manufacturing overhead
5.00
($300,000 total)
Variable selling expenses
1.20
Fixed selling expenses

($210,000 total)
Total cost per unit
$26.50
The CFO of Lynbrook would like your response to the following three (3) independent
situations to present to the management team early next week.
Situation #1
Assume that Lynbrook has sufficient capacity to produce 90,000 Wrens each year
without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could
increase its unit…
Office Products Inc. manufactures and sells various high-tech office automation products.
Two divisions of Office products Inc. are the Computer Chip Division and the Computer

used by both the Computer Division and other external customers. The following information
is available on this month's operations in the Computer Chip Division:
Selling price per chip
Variable cost per chip
Fixed production cost
Fixed SG & A costs

Presently the Computer Division purchases no chips from the Computer Chip Division, but
instead pays $45 to an external supplier for the 4,000 chips it needs each month.
Assume that next month's costs and levels of operation in the Computer and the Computer
Chip Divisions are similar to this month. What is the minimum of the transfer price range for
a possible…

- Hatch Manufacturing produces multiple machine parts. The theoretical cycle time for one of its products is 65 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell dedicated to the product are 12,960,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 1,440,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 0.6 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per minute (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion cost can improve delivery time performance. Explain how conversion cost acts as a performance driver for on-time deliveries.arrow_forwardKelson Sporting Equipment, Inc., makes two types of baseball gloves: a regular model and a catchers model.
