C-V-P ANALYSIS – MULTIPLE PRODUCTS

The simple product CVP analysis can be extended to handle the more realistic situations where the firm produces more than one product. The objective in such a case is to produce a mix that maximizes total contribution.

 Total BEP units = Total fixed cost

                            Average CM

Here:

α_t is the sales mix of product  t.

S_t is the selling price of product t

V_t is the variable cost of product t.

n is the number of units of product t sold

 
BEP_{t units} = αt (Total BEP_units)

BEP _tsh. = BEP_t(units) xSt
