| | Healthcare Financial Management: Contribution margin analysis: a case study - Financial Manager's Notebook |
 | | Contribution margin is the difference between the direct net revenues of a program and its direct expenses, prior to the allocation of overhead expenses. | | | Calculating the contribution margin of a program is easiest when a hospital has in place a reliable cost-accounting system that calculates the direct cost of treating patients from a specific unit or in a specified diagnosis-related group or major diagnostic category. | | | The contribution from the existing unit is estimated by subtracting direct expenses--unit salaries and benefits, professional fees, medical and other supplies, cost of ancillary services, and allocated variable ancillary expenses--from the net revenue attributable to mental health patients. |

| | Chapter 13: Profit ... |
| | Profit analysis is usually based on a comparison of the actual data with the budget, but the actual data for the current period can also be compared with the actual data from a previous period. | | | Budgeted contribution margin per unit is used in the calculation to isolate the sales volume effects, i.e., to keep the price and cost effects out of the calculation. | | | It is also frequently called the contribution margin per unit variance and is calculated like a price variance by multiplying the difference between the budgeted and actual contribution margin per unit by the actual units sold. |

| | CCH Business Owner's Toolkit Contribution Margins |
| | Your company's contribution margin is simply the percentage of each sales dollar that remains after the variable costs are subtracted. | | | Contribution format income statements can be drawn up with data from more than one year's income statements, if you're interested in tracking your contribution margins over time. | | | This means that, for every dollar of sales, after the costs that were directly related to the sales were subtracted, 34 cents remained to contribute toward paying for the direct costs and for profit. |

| | Once variable and fixed costs are isolated, a contribution margin income statement can be prepared in which total and per unit contribution margin can be analyzed. | | | Then meaningful "what if" analysis can be done such as trading off variable costs for fixed costs, increasing fixed costs and expected volume, reducing price and studying the impact on sales volume and profits, etc. Carefully study the basics of cost-volume-profit analysis on Pages 231-239. | | | CVP analysis is an examination of the relationships of prices, costs, volume, and mix of products. |

| | CHAPTER 14 |
| | When other factors are constant, a decrease in variable costs results in an increase in contribution margin, a decrease in the level of activity to break even, and an increase in profits. | | | In this situation, the same contribution margin would have to be divided into a larger amount of fixed costs, resulting in a higher break-even point. | | | The contribution margin is the amount of sales revenue that can be applied to cover fixed costs and provide a profit after variable costs have been deducted from sales. |

| | Contribution Margin determines how much revenue a unit of each item - of which 200 can be modeled - will be contributing to overhead and profit, while the Expense Ratio breaks down and charts expenses. | | | Under certain revenue and cost situations, fixed costs are preferable to variable costs, because greater profitability can be achieved at the margin, but if revenue levels are not achieved to capture the fixed costs, then variable costs may be preferable because of greater flexibility. | | | Using these tools allows a business to understand which costs they may need to better control, and which products are best helping the company achieve its goals, as well as those that may be hindering the business. |
