Chapter 8: Cost Volume Profit Analysis

Multi-product CVP: weighted C/S ratio and breakeven revenue

A company produces and sells three products: C, V and P. The budget information for the coming year is as follows:

CVP
Sales (units)4,8004,80012,000
Selling price (per unit)$5.00$6.00$7.00
Variable cost (per unit)$3.75$5.25$4.35
Contribution (per unit)$1.25$0.75$2.65

The total budgeted fixed overheads for the year are $8,000.

(a) Calculate the C/S ratio for each product individually. (b) Calculate the average C/S ratio, assuming the budget mix remains unchanged. (c) Calculate the breakeven revenue on that assumption. (e) Assuming the products are produced in order of their C/S ratios, construct a table of cumulative revenue and cumulative profit, and calculate the breakeven sales revenue on this basis.

  1. (a) C/S ratio of each product

    Calculate the contribution to sales ratio of each product for the coming year.

  2. (b)-(c) Average C/S ratio and breakeven revenue

    Calculate the company's budgeted annual revenue, contribution, weighted average contribution to sales ratio and breakeven sales revenue at the budgeted mix.

  3. (e) Selling the highest C/S ratio first

    Prepare the company's cumulative annual revenue and profit table for sales in descending contribution to sales ratio order, and calculate breakeven sales revenue.
