CHAPTER 1 MODULE 1 Chapter 12 Module 4 AMIS 310 Foundations of Accounting Professor Marc Smith Chapter 12 Module 4: Income Statement TRADITIONAL INCOME STATEMENT FORMAT Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit - S&A Expenses Net Income NOTE: This is the traditional income statement format where the expenses are classified by function. Chapter 12 Module 4: Income Statement The traditional income statement format is not used for internal decision-making. Instead, managers prefer to classify expenses by cost behavior as follows: Sales Revenue - Variable Costs Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs Net Income NOTE: This is the contribution income statement format where the expenses are classified by cost behavior pattern. Chapter 12 Module 4: Contribution Margin Contribution margin represents the amount of revenue that is available to: 1. pay (cover) fixed costs 2. contribute toward a profit Chapter 12 Module 4: Contribution Margin Contribution margin can be expressed in 3 different ways: 1. Total contribution margin = Sales Revenue - Variable Costs 2. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit Chapter 12 Module 4: Contribution Margin 3. As a percentage of sales (called the contribution margin ratio) = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue OR CM per unit ÷ Selling price per unit Chapter 12 Module 4: Contribution Margin The key to this very important concept lies in understanding cost behavior patterns. As revenues increase as a result of selling more products or providing more services, variable costs will increase proportionately, and so will contribution margin. However, fixed costs will not increase because they are NOT a function of the level of revenuegenerating activity Chapter 12 Module 4: Example #2 1. Variable cost per unit = 109 - 18 Variable cost per unit = $91 Sales revenue Variable costs Cont. margin Fixed costs Net income 69,750 [250 units x $279] 22,750 [250 units x $91] 47,000 40,000 7,000 Chapter 12 Module 4: Example #2 2. Units sales = 300 x 1.50 = 450 units Sales revenue Variable costs Cont. margin Fixed costs Net income 115,650 [450 units x $257] 49,050 [450 units x $109] 66,600 60,000 [40,000 + 20,000] 6,600 Chapter 12 Module 4: Example #2 3. Units sales = 300 x 1.12 = 336 units Sales revenue Variable costs Cont. margin Fixed costs Net income 93,744 [336 units x $279] 29,904 [336 units x $89] 63,840 50,000 [40,000 + 10,000] 13,840
