CVP analysis

Retail Finance

1. Analysis background introduction

With the increasingly fierce competition in the retail industry, enterprises are facing multiple challenges such as fluctuations in market demand, rising cost pressure and compression of profit margin. How to achieve stable operation and sustainable profits in the fierce market environment has become the core issue of the management of retail enterprises. As an important management accounting tool, CVP analysis can help enterprises gain an in-depth understanding of the relationship between cost, sales and profit, scientifically assess operating risks, and optimize business decision-making.Through the analysis of volume and profit, enterprises can clarify the break-even point, reasonably formulate sales targets, optimize product structure, and improve cost control ability, so as to enhance the market competitiveness and risk resistance of enterprises.

2. Statement of key issues

Is the current capital protection point of the enterprise reasonable? How big is the gap between the actual sales revenue and the capital preservation point? Is the security margin of the enterprise sufficient? These problems are directly related to the operating safety and risk resistance of enterprises.

How to use the results of the profit analysis to provide a scientific basis for enterprises to formulate sales targets, cost control, price adjustment and other business decisions is an important goal of this analysis.

1

Sales revenue

The total income obtained by the enterprise through the sale of goods or the provision of services within a certain period of time.

Reflecting the market sales ability and business scale of the enterprise is the basis of profit analysis. By analyzing the growth or decline of sales revenue, we can judge the changes in market demand, marketing strategy and competitiveness.

2

Marginal contribution rate%

Marginal contribution (sales revenue minus variable cost) is the percentage of sales revenue.Marginal contribution rate = (sales revenue - variable cost) / sales revenue × 100%

Measure how much sales revenue each additional yuan can bring to the enterprise to cover fixed costs and profits. The higher the marginal contribution rate, the stronger the profitability of the enterprise and the stronger the risk resistance to price and cost changes.

3

Protect the capital point sales collectionEnter

The enterprise will make a profit within a certain period of time.The minimum sales revenue required to balance. Formula: Sales revenue at the preservation point = fixed cost / marginal contribution rate

Reflect the safe operation boundaries of the enterprise. Actual salesIf the income is higher than the capital protection point, the enterprise will make a profit; if it is lower than the capital protection point, the enterprise will lose money. Analyzing the capital protection point is helpful in formulating sales targets and risk warnings.

4

Operating profit

The profit brought by the main business of the enterprise, that is, the balance after deducting all costs from sales revenue.

Reflecting the profitability of the main business of the enterprise, it is an important indicator to measure the operating results of the enterprise. Analyzing the changes in operating profits helps to find problems in cost control, sales strategies and other aspects.

5

Fixed cost expenses

Costs that do not change with changes in production and sales volume within a certain period of time and business volume, such as rent, wages, depreciation, etc.

The level of fixed cost affects the operating leverage and risk level of the enterprise. Analyzing fixed costs helps to optimize the cost structure and improve the risk resistance of enterprises.

6

Variable cost expenses

Costs that change with sales, such as commodity procurement costs, transportation fees, etc.

The proportion of variable costs is high, and enterprises respond flexibly to market changes. Analyzing variable costs helps to control the cost of single products and improve the marginal contribution rate.

7

Changes in average unit price

Changes in the average sales unit price of goods.

Reflect the changes in product structure, market demand and pricing strategy.The increase in unit price may increase profits, but attention should be paid to the impact on sales.

8

Changes in sales quantity

Changes in the quantity of commodity sales.

It directly affects sales revenue and profits. Analyzing sales changes is helpful to evaluate the effects of market expansion, promotional activities, etc.

9

Changes in average unit cost

Changes in the average unit cost of commodities.

Reflect the cost control ability of procurement, production, logistics and other links. The decline in unit cost helps to increase the profit margin.

Ten

Unit change Cost change

The change of the variable cost required for the sale of one unit of goods.

Affect the marginal contribution rate. The unit variable cost has decreased, and the profitability of the enterprise has been enhanced.

11

Changes in fixed costs

Changes in the total amount of fixed costs.

The increase in fixed costs will increase the cost protection point and increase the operating risk. We need to pay attention to the fixed cost changes brought about by expansion, equipment renewal, etc.

12

Changes in operating profit

Changes in the increase or decrease of operating profits.

Comprehensively reflect the changes in sales, cost, expenses and other factors.Analyzing profit changes helps to find problems and rooms for improvement in business management.

13

Change of capital protection point

Changes in the sales revenue of the protection point.

Reflect the changes in the boundaries of enterprise safe operation. If the capital protection point rises, the risk of the enterprise will increase; if the capital protection point rises, the security will increase.

14

Income changes

Changes in the increase or decrease of sales revenue.

Analyzing income changes can judge the impact of factors such as market environment, product competitiveness and marketing effect.
