Product W07C
Product B29Z
Sales…………………………
$25,000
$27,000
Variable expenses………...
$7,000
$8,600
Explanation / Answer
1.Combined PV Ratio =Combined Sales/Combined Contribution
Combined Sales =$25000+$27000=$52000
Combined Contribition =Sales of Both the products-variable cost of both products
=$52000-($7000+$8600)
=$36400
Combined PV ratio =$36400/$52000
=.7
Break even point for the company =FC/Combined PV ratio
=$32860/.7
=46943 units
2.Since the total Sales will not change ie it will be $52000 alone for Product W07C
also the contribution will be now more as becuase Prodcut B29Z is not in existence.
New Contribution =$52000-$7000=$45000
Contribution or the PV ratio =$45000/$52000=.87
The overall Breakeven for the company will be =$32860/.87=37770 units
That is why it has decreased becuase one product line is not take into consideration and it resulted in an increase of the PV ratio for that.
c.Assumptions in Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis:
Sales mix is the components of Cost volume profit analysis.
CVP analysis expands the use of information provided by breakeven analysis.
Assumptions:
1. The behavior of both costs and revenue is linear throughout the relevant range of activity.
2. Costs can be classified accurately as either fixed or variable.
3. Changes in activity are the only factors those affects costs.
4. All units produced are sold.
5. When a company sells more than one type of product, the sales mix will remain constant
