본문 (2) Why do you think cost of sales is included in the
computation of contribution margin on page 33?
Looking at Benetton’s
reclassified and more detailed statement of income on page 50, one will notice
that the majority of its cost of sales is from material & inventories
(47.2%) and outsourcing work to subcontracted companies (36.6%). This would mean
that most of its production costs are variable costs, since Benetton would only
purchase material and outsource work if customers demand Benetton’s products.
Furthermore, contribution margin, as defined by the textbook, is “the amount
remaining from sales revenues after variable expenses have been deducted”. As a
result, Benetton’s production costs and its variable selling costs (sales
commission and delivery & transportation) are needed to compute the
contribution margin.
(3) What are the contribution margin and breakeven
point of 2003 and 2004? Is there any difference between breakeven point of 2003
and 2004? If there is any difference, what is the reason?
Millions of
euro20042003 Revenues1,686 1,859 Cost of sales(929)(1,049) Gross
operating income757 810 Variable selling costs(104)(114) Contribution
Margin653 696 General and administrative expenses(436)(464) Income from
operations217 232
Contribution Margin % of 2004 can be computed as (653
(CM))/(1,686 (SALES)) = 38.73% Contribution Margin % of 2003 can be computed
as (696 (CM))/(1,859 (SALES)) = 37.43% Then Break-even point of each year’s
sales can be computed by (FIXED COST)/(CM %). Therefore, Break-even point of
2004 is (436 )/0.3873 = €1125.74 and Break-even point of 2003 is 464/0.3743 =
€1239.64 There’s a difference between BEP of 2004 and 2003 because of its rate
between contribution margin and fixed cost. Low contribution margin ratio and
large fixed costs lead to larger number of BEP. In this case, as the size of
fixed cost was relatively larger than contribution margin in 2003, BEP of 2003
was larger than that of 2004.
(4) What sales volume would have been
necessary in 2004 for Benetton to attain a target income from operations of 300
million euro?
