Costs
FixedCosts
Variable Costs
Types of Cost
2-5
Expenses that are uniform per unit of
output within a relevant time period
As volume increases, total variable
costs increase
Variable Costs are…
2-6
THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF
VARIABLE COSTS
1. Cost of Goods Sold
2. Other Variable Costs
2-7
For Manufacturer or Provider of Service
Covers materials, labor and factory overhead applied directly to production
For Reseller (Wholesaler or Retailer)
Covers primarily the cost of merchandise
Variable Costs – Cost of Goods Sold
2-8
Other Variable Costs
Expenses not directly tied to
production but vary directly with
volume
Examples include:
Sales commissions, discounts,
and delivery expenses
2-9
Expenses that do not fluctuate with output volume within a relevant time period
They become progressively smaller per unit of output as volume increases
No matter how large volume becomes, the absolute size of fixed costs remains unchanged
Fixed Costs
2-10
THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF
FIXED COSTS
1. Programmed costs
2. Committed costs
2-11
Result from attempts to generate sales
volume
Examples include:
Advertising, sales promotion, and
sales salaries
Fixed Costs – Programmed Costs
2-12
Costs required to maintain the
organization
Examples include nonmarketing
expenditures, such as:
rent, administrative cost, and
clerical salaries
Fixed Costs – Committed Costs
2-13
Relevant and
Sunk Costs
2-14
Future expenditures unique to the
decision alternatives under consideration.
Expected to occur in the future as a result of some marketing action
Differ among marketing alternatives being considered
In general, opportunity costs are considered relevant costs
Relevant Costs are…
2-15
The direct opposite of relevant costs.
Past expenditures for a given activity
Typically irrelevant in whole or in part to future decisions
Examples of sunk costs:
Past marketing research and development expenditures
Last year’s advertising expense
Sunk Costs are…
2-16
When marketing managers attempt to
incorporate sunk costs into future
decisions, they often fall prey to the Sunk
Cost Fallacy – that is, they attempt to
recoup spent dollars by spending even
more dollars in the future.
Example: Continuing to advertise a failing
product heavily in an attempt to recover
what has already been spent on it.
Sunk Cost Fallacy
2-17
Margins
The difference between the
selling price and the “cost” of a
product or service
Margins are expressed in both
dollar terms or as percentages on:
a total volume basis, or
an individual unit basis
2-18
Gross Margin or Gross Profit
On a total volume basis:
The difference between total sales
revenue and total cost of goods
sold
On a per-unit basis:
The difference between unit selling
price and unit cost of goods sold
2-19
Gross Margin
Total Gross Margin Dollar Amount Percentage
Net Sales $100 100%
Cost of Goods Sold - 40 - 40
Gross Profit Margin $ 60 60%
Unit Gross Margin
Unit Sales Price $1.00 100%
Unit Cost of Goods Sold - 0.40 - 40
Unit Gross Profit Margin $0.60 60%
2-20
Trade Margin (Markup)
Suppose a retailer purchases an item for
$10 and sells it at $20.
Retailer Margin as a percentage of cost is:
($10 / $10) x 100 = 100 %
Retailer Margin as a percentage of selling price is:
($10 / $20) x 100 = 50 %
2-21
Trade Margin
Unit Cost of Goods Sold
Unit Selling Price
Gross Margin as a % of
Selling Price
Manufacturer $2.00 $2.88 30.6%
Wholesaler $2.88 $3.60 20.0%
Retailer $3.60 $6.00 40.0%
Consumer $6.00
2-22
Net Profit Margin(before taxes)
Dollar Amount Percentage
Net Sales $ 100,000 100%
Cost of Goods Sold - 30,000 - 30
Selling Expenses - 20,000 - 20
Fixed Expenses - 40,000 - 40
Gross Profit Margin $ 70,000 70%
Net Profit Margin $ 10,000 10%

Contribution Analysis
Contribution is…
The difference between total sales
revenue and total variable costs
OR on a per-unit basis
The difference between unit selling price
and unit variable cost
2-25
Break-even point is the unit or dollar
sales at which an organization neither
makes a profit nor a loss.
At the organization’s break-even sales
volume:
Total Revenue = Total Cost

Break-even AnalysisExample
Fixed Costs = $50,000
Price per unit = $5
Variable Cost = $3
Contribution = $5 - $3 = $2
Breakeven Volume = $50,000 $2
= 25,000 units
Breakeven Dollars = 25,000 x $5
= $125,000

2-29
Liquidity
Refers to a company’s ability to meet
short-term financial obligations
Very important for a company’s day-to-
day operations
A key factor is Working Capital = Current
Assets minus Current Liabilities
2-30
Operating Leverage
Extent to which fixed costs and variable costs are used in the production and marketing of products and services.
Firms with high total fixed costs relative to total variable costs are defined as having high operating leverage.
Higher operating leverage results in a faster increase in profit once sales exceed break-even volume. The same happens with losses when sales fall below break-even volume.
2-31
Discounted Cash Flow
Discounted cash flows are future cash
flows expressed in terms of their
present value
Incorporates the time value of money
Based on the premise that a dollar
received tomorrow is worth less than a
dollar today
Useful in determining a business’s net
cash flows
2-32
Discounted Cash Flow
The discount rate can be expressed as follows:
Discount factor = ___1___ (1 + r)n
Where the r in the denominator is the interest rate and n is the
number of years
2-33
The interest or discount rate is
often defined as…
The opportunity cost of capital,
which is the cost of earnings
opportunities forgone by investing in
a business with its attendant risk as
opposed to investing in risk-free
securities.
2-34
Discounted Cash FlowExample
Suppose you were to collect $1 million in 5 years. If the discount rate used were 10%, the present value of the $1 million would be:
1PV = ———— X $1,000,000 = $620,921.32
(1 + 0.10)5
2-35
Preparing a pro forma Income Statement
A pro forma income statement is a
projected income statement
Includes:
Projected Revenues
Budgeted Expenses
Estimated Net Profit

Sales$1,000,000
Cost of goods sold 500,000
Gross margin 500,000
Marketing expensesSales expenses $170,000Advertising expenses 90,000Freight or delivery expenses 40,000 300,000

2-37
Preparing a pro forma Income Statement
Sales – forecasted unit volume times selling price
Cost of goods sold – costs incurred in buying or producing products and services
Gross margin – represents the remainder after cost of goods sold has been subtracted from sales
2-38
Marketing Expenses – programmed expenses to be spent on increasing sales
General & Administrative Expenses – fixed costs (often referred to as overheads)
Net Income before Taxes – sales revenues minus all costs
