Document Summary

In this chapter, we will use our knowledge of cost behavior to discuss calculations related the relationships among costs, sales volume, and profit. to cost-volume-profit (cvp) analysis. If any of these assumptions do not hold, the calculations may be inaccurate and managers should exercise caution when using them for planning and decision making purposes. The traditional income statement organizes costs by function, product (cogs) versus period (sg&a). This income statement does not give management the information needed to perform cvp analysis. To perform cvp analysis, management needs an income statement that is organized by behavior, variable and fixed. The contribution margin (cm) income statement organizes costs according to cost behavior. The cm income statement begins with sales revenue and ends with operating income, just as with the traditional income statement. The cm income statement is organized as follows: Since every unit sold has a sales price and a unit variable cost, managers can also calculate the cm per unit.
