Differential Cost Analysis This chapter deals with the use of differential cost analysis in financial management decision making situations. The basic premise of differential cost analysis is that different costs are treated differently in different financial management decision situations. Hence the name differential costs. Two major applications of differential cost analysis are presented. The first application is called break-even analysis. In break-even analysis, differential cost analysis is used to

operation’s viability. The ideal method would be to conduct a break-even analysis, which would require fixed costs, variable costs, wholesale prices, distribution margins and total sale volume in the two counties of Fiji Water bottles. Once this information is available, the break-even volume over two years can be calculated to provide the minimum sales required to make a profitable operation. In an ideal situation, a customer lifetime value analysis would have aided our decision. For this, one must know

Congress that the Tri-Star program was economically sound and that their problem was mere liquidity crisis. However, opposition to the guarantee focused on estimated break-even sales – the number of jets that would need to be sold for total revenue to cover all accumulated costs. This case illustrates the importance of NPV analysis in capital budgeting. We examined the decision to invest in the Tri-Star project by forecasting the cash flow associated with the project for a volume of 210 planes

The Company recently hired a new cost accountant, Lee High, who intends to conduct a new cost analysis over a period of three production weeks. Lee wanted to better identify the fixed, variable, and semi-variable costs associated with production of Great Heath. Once these costs were categorized Lee could determine how this would affect the cost of goods sold. Lee could then develop what the break- even volume that could be generated from a changing volume of sales. The case shows the assumptions
