variable costing,
Since the revenue is equal to total cost, the business entity earns no profit nor does it incur
loss. If the sales volume exceeds the break even volume even by one unit, the company earns
profit. The amount of profit is equal to the product of excess units sold (cover and above
break- even volume) and unit contribution. In the same way, is the sales volume falls below
the break-even analysis does not aim only at finding out the Break-even point. Rather, it aims
at analyzing a number of other things (besides the computation of break-even point) such as
P/V ratio, Angle of incidence, Margin of safety, profit or Loss, Absorbed and Unabsorbed
fixed costs, ect. Therefore, Break-even analysis, in its broader sense, refers to the analysis of
impact of costs, price and volume and profit. In other words, it establishes the relationship
between cost, price, volume and profit.

Nandini hi-tech product plant the milk procurement by the co-operatives in Karnataka has
steadily over the years due to the efforts and policies favouring milk production. Existing
infrastructure of the milk co-operative in the state was found to be insufficient for handling
the excess milk in order to meet the increased processing requirement, Karnataka milk
production (KMF).in consultation with national dairy development board(NDBB),conceived
to setup a product dairy of 400TLPD with 30MTPD power plant in the years 2005. It was
decide to the surplus milk of all 13 milk unions in Karnataka. The project was entrusted to
NDDB on turnkey exaction basis.

1.2 TOPIC CHOSEN FOR THE STUDY
The topic selected for analysis of marginal costing or cost volume and profit analysis at
Nandini hi-tech production plant. The variation of cost is also analyzed with their effects on
the overall working or unit in the present scenario Nandini hi-tech product plant one of the
leading producers of milk product and facing the problem of huge cost of production. The
companies is incurred more capital expenses and insufficiently of the raw material. To
increase profit the company has to increase the sales. It should note BEP under various
situation of changing sales mix, price and cost if has to study what are the most and least
profitable product and it to forecast the impact on profit when sales mix is charged.
1.3 NEED FOR THE STUDY

The goal of this primer has been to describe the major principles, concepts and methods for
doing economic analysis of highway projects. The coverage of these subjects has been
necessary brief. For the interested reader, a wealth of additional information from publicly
accessible sources.
Benefit BEP analysis is the most comprehensive method to evaluate the reasonableness of
highway projects in economic terms. In some cases, when it is clear that a project must be
undertaken regardless of its cost. (e.g., a critical bridge on a interstate highway must be
repaired or replaced in kind).
This research study was conducted by Balachandru Dhananjaya during the year 2008-

CONCLUSION
In this study is attempted to made analyze the BEP analysis of the simple unit. Since the
Nirani Sugar. Pvt.ltd is facing heavy competition in an around area of the region. It is
essential to focus on the aspect of the marginal costing.
BY RUSS HEADLEY
This article focuses on cost; costs are the monetary values of the resources, which have to be
used for the production. Cost control can defined as getting the best results with the lowest
offering of resources. The management instrument that can be used to control the costs of a
company are. Budgeting, Balanced Scorecard, Benchmarking, Activity-Based Management.
These instruments can be used in combination with each other because they can support the
decisions made by management.

This article focus on cost benefits, cost benefits analysis is a very general discipline, with
some basis demands-expressed here in the form of foundation principles-that establish an
approach but not a specific method. Even these elementary demands would be resisted by
those who would like a different general approach, involving, say, implicit valuation (rather
than explicit articulation) or the use of pure deontological principles (rather than broadly

This paper focus on the objectives of managerial cost systems is learn something about
resources consumption and motivate more efficient consumption and eliminate free goods,
create cost awareness and give managers the information they need to make wise choices in
managing constrained resources. This purpose is best served through relevant cost
measurement customized to meet management need.

Around 60-70 years back, at the time of British rule, the farmers of Gujarat were one
of the best milk producing state in India. There was a British agent named Polson who was
deciding the price of the milk. The farmers were not getting right price of their production.
This harassment continued for years. Later the farmers organized themselves to avoid this
harassment. The farmers complained to Sardar Vallabhai Patel about this and decided not to
sell milk to the British military people. This is how the concept of union came into picture.
From 1947-48, Gujarat started selling milk directly to the consumer not giving milk to
British people, our late Prime Minister Lalbahaddurshastry thought to from same type of
unions throughout India. Since then operation flood came into existence. In 1975, Karnataka
also implemented the village co-operative societies.
Operation Flood:
National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was found in 1965. Dr Varghese
Kurian the founder chairman of NDDB after which dairy development became a regular
organization and the operation flood program was conceived by the NDDB.

To provide international liaison with other national dairy boards and international
agencies in order to facilitate exchange of information and personnel as well as to assist in
development of dairying in other countries.
Industry Growth:
The estimated production capacity in India is 60 million tones 1992-93 the value of
the annual output of dairy is Rs.3,00,000 million to consolidate the gains of state of
Karnataka and with a view to efficiency chill process and market ever developing and

and in the process conserve the socio economic interest of rural milk producers, the
government of Karnataka through KMF has proposed.
Operation flood came to third phase (1986-94) after successfully completing first
phase (1981-85) the product operation flood laid stress on setting up rural milk producers cooperative organization to produce and market the milk on one than market technical input for

The milk procurement by the co-operatives in Karnataka has steadily increased over the years
due to the efforts and policies favouring milk production. Existing infrastructure of the milk
co-operatives in the state was found to be insufficient for handling the excess milk. In order
to meet the increased processing requirement, Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), in
consultation with National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), conceived to setup a product
dairy of 400 TLPD with 30 MTPD powder plant in the year 2005. It was decided to the
surplus milk of all 13 milk unions in Karnataka. The project was entrusted to NDDB on
turnkey execution basis.

According to CIMA terminology marginal costing is the ascertainment of marginal costs and
of the effect on profit of changes in volume or type of output by differentiating between fixed costs
and variable cost in this technique of coasting only variable costs are charged to operation, processes
or products leaving all indirect costs to be written off against profits in the period in which they arise.
Thus marginal costing is the accounting system in which variable costs is charged to cost
units and fixed costs of the period are written off in full against the aggregate contribution. It special
value is in decision making. It is a technique of applying the existing methods in a manner in order to
bring out the relationship between profit and volume of output.
Costs are separated in to the fixed and variable elements and semi variable costs are
also differentiated likewise.
Only the variable costs are taken in to account for computing the value if stocks of
work in progress and finished products.
Fixed costs are charged off to revenue wholly during the period in which they are
incurred and are not taken in to account for valuing product cost/inventories.
Process may be based on marginal costs and contribution but in normal circumstances
prices would cover costs in total.
It combines the technique of cost recording and cost reporting.
Profitability of departments or products in determined in items of marginal
contribution.
The unit of a product means the average variable costs of manufacturing the product.
All elements of costs are classified into fixed and variable costs.
Marginal costing is a technique of cost control and decision making.

Cost-volume profit relationship data wanted for profit planning purpose is readily
obtained from the regular accounting statements. Hence management does not have to
forms of costing such as, budgetary costing, standard costing without much difficulty.
In marginal costing fixed overheads are not charged to the cost of production due to
and assessed, and decisions taken will yield the maximum return to the business.
Whether to expand or contract.
Product mix decisions like for example :
Selection of optimal product mix;
Page 37
Product substitution;
Product discontinuance.
Break-Even Analysis.
It may be very difficult to segregation of all costs into fixed and variable costs.
Marginal Costing technique cannot be suitable for all type of industries. For example,
price.
It assumes that the fixed costs are controllable, but in the long run all costs are
variable.
Marginal Costing does not provide any standard for the evaluation of performance
stock of work in progress and finished goods. It will reflect in true profit.
Marginal Costing focuses its attention on sales aspect. Accordingly, contribution and
profits are determined on the basis of sales volume. It does not consider other
functional aspects.
Under Marginal Costing semi variable and semi fixed costs cannot be segregated
accurately.
It is very difficult to segregate all costs into fixed and variable costs very clearly, since
all costs are variable in the long run. Hence such segregation sometimes may give
misleading results.
The closing stock consists of variable costs only and ignores fixed costs. This gives
Page 38
To know the cost, volume and profit relationship, a study of the following is essential:
(1) Marginal Cost Formula
(2) Break-Even Analysis
(3) Profit Volume Ratio (or) PN Ratio
(4) Profit Graph
(5) Key Factors and
(6) Sales Mix
One of the main methods of calculating CVP is profit-volume ratio which is
(contribution/sales*100=this gives us profit-volume ratio.
Total costs = fixed costs + (unit variable cost*number of units)
Total revenue = sales price*number of units
A variable cost is one that is directly related to the levels of sales such as cost of goods sold and
commission.
Page 39
CIMAs defined as the study of the effects on future profit changes in fixed cost. Variable costs, sales
price, quantity and mix.
The cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis helps management in finding out the relationship of costs and
revenues to profits the aim of an understanding is to earn profits. Profit depends upon a large number
of factors. The most important of which are the cost manufacture and the volume of sales effected.
Both these factors are interdependent-volume of sales depends upon the volume production. Which in
turn is related to costs? Cost, again, is the resultant of the operation of a number of varying factors.
Such factors affecting costs are;
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Volume of production
Product-mix
Internal efficiency
Methods of production; and
Size of plant; ect..
Analysis of cost-volume-profit involves consideration of the interplay of the
following factors;
1.
2.
3.
4.
Volume of sales
Selling price
Product mix of sales
Variable costs per unit
Page 40
(or)
Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution
Contribution = Fixed Cost + Profit
The above equation brings the fact that in order to earn profit the contribution must be more than
fixed expenses. To avoid any loss, the contribution must be equal to fixed cost.
3.7 Contribution:
The term Contribution refers to the difference between Sales and Marginal Cost of Sales. It also
termed as "Gross Margin." Contribution enables to meet fixed costs and profit. Thus, contribution will
first covered fixed cost and then the balance amount is added to Net profit. Contribution can be
represented as:
Contribution = Sales - Marginal Cost
Contribution = Sales - Variable Cost
Contribution = Fixed Expenses + Profit
Contribution - Fixed Expenses = Profit
Sales - Variable Cost = Fixed Cost + Profit

3.10 PROFIT VOLUME RATIO [P/V RATIO]:The ratio or percentage of contribution margin to sales is known as P/V ratio. This ratio is
also known as marginal income ratio. Contribution to sales ratio. P/V ratio usually expressed
as a percentage is the rate at which profit increases with the increase in volume. The formula
for P/V ratio;
1. {Contribution / Sales} * 100
2. {Contribution per unit / Sales per unit} * 100
3. {Change in profit / Change in sales} * 100
4. {Change in contribution / Change in sales}

3.12 BREAK EVEN POINT [BEP]:1. Fixed cost / Contribution per unit [in units]
2. Fixed cost / P/V Ratio [in value] (or) Fixed Cost * Sales value per unit
3. (Sales Variable cost per unit)

of costs-volume-profit analysis
a) CVP analysis helps in forecasting costs and profits as a result of change in volume.
b) It helps fixing a sales volume level to earn or cover given revenue, return on capital
employed, or rate of dividend.
c) It assist determination of effect of change in volume due to plant expansion or
acceptance of an order, with or without increase in costs or in order or in other words
a quantum of profit to be obtained with changes in volume of sales.

a. Contribution margin approach
Break-even point (in units) = total fixed costs/selling price per unitvariable cost per unit
Or = total fixed costs/contribution per unit
Break-even point (in Rs) = fixed cost/ profit volume ratio
Or= break-even points (units)*selling price per unit
