Marginal Costing &Break Even Analysis
Marginal Cost & Marginal Costing
Acc to ICMA
Marginal cost represents "the amount of any given volume of output by which aggregates costs are changed if the volume of output is increased by one unit"
In practice it is measured by total variable cost attribute to one unit
Marginal Cost & Marginal Costing
Acc to Blocker & weltmore
"marginal cost is the increase or decrease in total cost which results from producing or selling additional or fewer unit of product or from a change in the method of production or distribution such as the use of improved machinery ,addition or exclusion of a product or territory"
Marginal Cost & Marginal Costing
ICMA
Marginal costing as " the ascertainment of marginal costs and of the effect on profit of changes in volume or type of output by differentiating between fixed & variable cost"
Marginal costing is also know as "variable costing"
Characteristics of marginal costing
Analysis & presentation
Classification of cost (fixed, variable, semi variable)
Variable cost are regarded as cost of product
Fixed cost is treated as period cost
Finished goods & work in progress are valued as marginal cost
Contribution = sales or SP – marginal cost of sales
Assumption of marginal costing
Variable cost remain constant per unit of output
SP per unit remain unchanged
Fixed cost remain unchanged

Contribution
It is difference between sales & variable cost or marginal cost
Excess of SP over variable cost per unit
Also know as contribution margin or gross margin

If SP = 20/-
Variable cost = 15/-
Fixed exp = 50000/-
Total no of unit sold 8000
C = 20-15 = 5
Total contribution = 8000*5 = 40000
Advantages
Fixing selling prices
Assist break even point
Suitable product mix
Alternative method of production
Purchase or manufacture
Adding new product
Marginal costing equation
Sales – variable cost = contribution
Sales = variable cost + contribution
Sales = variable cost + fixed cost + profit/loss
Sales – variable cost = fixed cost + profit/loss
S-V = F + P
Cost – Volume profit analysis
Studying the relationship between cost , volume & profits.
Cost of manufacture , volume of sales ,SP of product
In words of Herman C. Heiser
"the most significance single factor in profit planning of the average business is the relationship between the volume of business , cost & profits"
Break-Even Analysis
In two senses
Narrow senses
Broad senses

In broad sense break even analysis refers to the study of relationship between cost , volume , and profit at different levels of sales or production
In narrow sense it refers to a technique of determining that level of operation where total revenue equal total expenses no profit no loss point.
Assumptions
All element of cost
Variable cost remain constant per unit
Fixed cost remain constant
SP remain unchanged
Volume of factor is only influence cost
No change in general price level
Break even point
Point of sales volume at which total revenue is equal to total cost.
No profit no loss point
Total sales is equal to total cost
Also called as Critical point or Equilibrium point or balancing point
Managerial application of marginal costing
Pricing decision
Profit planning
Make or but decision
Selection of suitable sales mix
Effect of change in sales price
Alternative method of production
Optimum level of activity
Capital investment decision
Advantages of marginal costing
Simple to operate
Removes complexities
Help management in production planning
No possibility of fictitious profits
BEP calculation
Decision making
Helpful in cost control
Profit planning
Management reporting
Limitation
SP don’t remain constant
Ignores time factor
Budgeting & Budgetary Control
Introduction

Process of determining various budgeted figures for the enterprises for the future period
then comparing the budgeted figures with the actual performance for calculating variance

Acc to J.Batty
"A system which uses budgets as a means of planning and controlling all aspect of producing and selling commodities and services"

Budgetary involves
Objects are set by preparing budgets
Business is divided into various responsibility centres

cost of capital

Cost of CapitalTapen GuptaHIM Kala Amb




Introduction
The project’s cost of capital is the minimum required rate of return on funds committed to the project, which depends on the riskiness of its cash flows.
The firm’s cost of capital will be the overall, or average, required rate of return on the aggregate of investment projects.
Minimum rate of return expected by its investor
Weighted average cost of various sources of finance used by firm
Minimum rate of return expected by investors , maintain the market value of the share at its present level
To achieve the wealth maximization
Definitions
Cost of obtaining funds
"The rate that must be earned on the net proceeds to provide the cost element of the burden at the time they are due" by Hunt , William , Donaldson
" The minimum required rate of earning or the cut off rate of capital expenditure" by Solomon Ezra
"The rate of return the firm requires from investor in order to increase the value of the firm in the market place" by Hampton Jhon
Three basic aspect
Cost of capital is not a cost as such
Minimum rate of return
Comprises of 3 components
The expected normal rate of return at zero risk level (rate of int. allowed by bank)
Premium of business risk
Premium of financial risk

Significance of the Cost of Capital
Evaluating investment decisions
Designing a firm’s debt policy, (capital structure)
Appraising the financial performance of top management
The Concept of the Opportunity Cost of Capital
The opportunity cost is the rate of return foregone on the next best alternative investment opportunity of comparable risk.
General Formula for the Opportunity Cost of Capital
Opportunity cost of capital is given by the following formula:

where Io is the capital supplied by investors in period 0 (it represents a net cash inflow to the firm), Ct are returns expected by investors (they represent cash outflows to the firm) and k is the required rate of return or the cost of capital.
The opportunity cost of retained earnings is the rate of return, which the ordinary shareholders would have earned on these funds if they had been distributed as dividends to them.
Classification of cost
Historical cost & Future cost
Specific cost & Composite cost
Average cost & Marginal cost
Weighted Average Cost of Capital Vs. Specific Costs of Capital
The cost of capital of each source of capital is known as component, or specific, cost of capital.
The overall cost is also called the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
Relevant cost in the investment decisions is the future cost or the marginal cost.
Marginal cost is the new or the incremental cost that the firm incurs if it were to raise capital now, or in the near future.
The historical cost that was incurred in the past in raising capital is not relevant in financial decision-making.

Book Value Versus Market Value Weights
Managers prefer the book value weights for calculating WACC:
Firms in practice set their target capital structure in terms of book values.
The book value information can be easily derived from the published sources.
The book value debt—equity ratios are analysed by investors to evaluate the risk of the firms in practice.
Book Value Versus Market Value Weights
The use of the book-value weights can be seriously questioned on theoretical grounds:
First, the component costs are opportunity rates and are determined in the capital markets. The weights should also be market-determined.
Second, the book-value weights are based on arbitrary accounting policies that are used to calculate retained earnings and value of assets. Thus, they do not reflect economic values.
Book Value Versus Market Value Weights
Market-value weights are theoretically superior to book-value weights:
They reflect economic values and are not influenced by accounting policies.
They are also consistent with the market-determined component costs.
The difficulty in using market-value weights:
The market prices of securities fluctuate widely and frequently.
A market value based target capital structure means that the amounts of debt and equity are continuously adjusted as the value of the firm changes.
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
As per the CAPM, the required rate of return on equity is given by the following relationship:
Equation requires the following three parameters to estimate a firm’s cost of equity:
The risk-free rate (Rf)
The market risk premium (Rm – Rf)
The beta of the firm’s share (b )
Cost of Equity: CAPM Vs. Dividend—Growth Model
The dividend-growth approach has limited application in practice
It assumes that the dividend per share will grow at a constant rate, g, forever.
The expected dividend growth rate, g, should be less than the cost of equity, ke, to arrive at the simple growth formula.
The dividend–growth approach also fails to deal with risk directly.
Cost of Equity: CAPM Vs. Dividend—Growth Model
CAPM has a wider application although it is based on restrictive assumptions:
The only condition for its use is that the company’s share is quoted on the stock exchange.
All variables in the CAPM are market determined and except the company specific share price data, they are common to all companies.
The value of beta is determined in an objective manner by using sound statistical methods. One practical problem with the use of beta, however, is that it does not probably remain stable over time.

Also called as pay out or pay off period method
Period in which the total investment in assets pays back itself
Measures the period of time for the original cost
Project are ranked according to the length of their pay back period
Pay – Back period method
Calculate annual net earnings before dep. & after taxes
Divide the initial outlay of the project by the annual cash inflows
pay – back period=
cash outlay of the project or original cost of assets
annual cash inflows
Pay – Back period method
Project cost Rs. 100000
Annual cash inflows Rs. 20000
For 8 years
Pay back period
= 100000 = 5 years

Pay-back reciprocal method
Pay-back reciprocal method
pay back reciprocal= annual cash inflow
Total investment
Two condition to be satisfied
Equal cash inflows are generated ever year
The project under consideration has along life which must be at least twice the pay back period
Post pay back period method
Ignores the life of the project beyond the pay back period
Also know as surplus life over pay back method
Greatest post pay back period accepted
Discounted pay back method
Pay back period method ignores time value of money
Discounted rate
Cost of project 600000
Life of the project 5 years
Annual cash inflows 200000
Cut off rate 10 %

Calculation present value of cash inflows
Discounted pay back period=
3 years+ 102800 = 3.75

Rate of return method
Also know as accounting Rate of return
Accounting concept of profit (net profit after tax & dep.)
Ranked acc to rate of earning
Higher rate of return selected
Average rate of return method
Average profit after tax & dep.
Divide it by total capital outlay
Average rate of return method =
Total profit (after dep. & taxes) * 100
net investment in project * no of years
Or
Average annual profits * 100
Net investment in the project

Internal rate of return
Time value of money
Also know as time adjusted rate of return , yield method , trail & error yield method
Predetermined cut off rate in NPV
Hit & trail method

Internal rate of return
A) when annual net cash flows are equal over the life of the assets
Present value factor = initial outlay / annual cash flow
Initial outlay 50000
Life of the assets 5 years
Estimated annual cash flow 12500
Present value factor = 50000/12500= 4
Then search value in net present value table
Which is equal to 8%

Result may diff of NPV & IRR (size, life, timings)
Profitability index method
Also know as benefit cost ratio or desirability factor
Profitability index = present value of cash inflows
present value of cash outflows or PI = PV of cash inflows
Initial cash outlay
or PI = NPV
initial cash outlay
Net profitability index = PI - 1
