Executive Summary
The Bangalore Milk Union Ltd., (Bamul) was established during 1975 under Operation Flood II
by keeping “Amul” as its Role Model. At present Bamul has Bangalore Urban, Bangalore Rural
& Ramanagaram Districts of Karnataka State as its area of operation for Milk Procurement and
selling Milk in part of Bruhath Bangalore Mahanagara Palika (BBMP) area. Since its inception
the Union is constantly striving further for dairy development and marketing activities in its milk
shed area.
The strategy of Bangalore Milk Union is “Procure More, Sell More & Serve More” and reaping
the benefits of economies of scale. In order to realize this strategy, the Union has implemented
the following projects so that more and more milk can be procured and processed. This will help
us to serve our producer members by passing on the maximum benefits; we are consciously
adopting the growth-oriented strategy of helping our producers to grow by ourselves growing
constantly.
CVP analysis is a system used for checking how changes in the volume of production affect the
costs and thus the profits. It is an expanded form of break-even analysis, which simply identifies
the breakeven point. CVP analysis is somewhat simplified and relies on some assumptions that
do not hold in reality, meaning it is best used for simple "big picture" analysis rather than
detailed examination.
Breakeven analysis takes account of the fact that production incurs both fixed and variable costs.
Fixed costs include machinery, factory real estate and, to some extent, marketing. Variable costs
include labor and raw materials; more of these resources are used as more products are made.
The break-even point is calculated as the fixed costs divided by the contribution per unit. The
contribution per unit is the price the company sells the product at, minus the specific variable
costs associated with producing that individual unit.
CVP Analysis at Bamul Focuses mainly on Factors Like Sales, Net profit ,Break even sales , P/V
ratio ,Margin of safety and Variations in variable costs Break even Sales and the Margin of
safety are the important Factors in Cost Control which is the main objective of the Company.
The Data collected is Secondary Data by interaction with Finance Manager and Balance sheet of
the Last 5 years.
The main Limitation the study is Study is conducted for the period of 10
weeks. This is not sufficient to Collect All the data.
The study Reveals facts that net Profit of the company is highest in the year
2006 and Low in the year 2009. And Variation in the other factors Like breakeven sales which is
decreasing and P/V Ratio is also decreasing
1) INDUSTRY PROFILE
The main aim of the Indian dairy industry is only to better manage the national resources to
enhance milk production and upgrade milk processing using innovative technologies.
The boom has taken place after the price of milk was increased by Rs 3 a litre in the state. Of
late KMF has witnessed growth in its production. After it increased procurement price (varies
from Rs. 2.50 to 3.50 per litre in different areas) the production is upbeat. Thousands of
farmers from across the state flock to pour more milk to the federation.
Last March, KMF witnessed all time low production: 31 lakh litres milk production per day.
But just after three months KMF regained its momentum by producing 41,80,000 litres milk
per day. According to industry experts, this is all time record compared to the last highest
milk production of 40.41 lakh litres per day in June 2009. The federation has more than 22
lakh farmer members attached to 10,600 milk cooperative societies across Karnataka.
Besides, it has 13 Milk Unions throughout the state that procure milk from Primary Dairy
Cooperative Societies (DCS) and distribute milk to the consumers in various urban and rural
markets in Karnataka.
Almost every district in Karnataka has milk producing co-operatives. The milk is collected
from farmers, processed and sold in the market by the brand of Nandini. Even milk giant
Amul purchases some 50,000 litres per day from KMF. The federation was able to achieve
the historic target because of price rise and government support. KMF managing director
Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is the largest cooperative dairy Federation in South India,
owned and managed by milk producers of Karnataka State. KMF has over 2 million milk
producers in over 10500 Dairy Cooperative Societies at village level, functioning under 13
District Cooperative Milk Unions in Karnataka State. The mission of the federation is to
usher rural prosperity through dairy development. During the last four decades of cooperative
dairy development by KMF, the dairy industry in Karnataka has progressed from a situation
of milk-scarcity to that of milk-surplus.
2) Company Profile
OBJECTIVES
• To organize Dairy Co-operative Societies at Village level and dissemination of
information like good dairy animal husbandry and breeding practices & Clean Milk
Production through Extension Services.
• To provide assured market & remunerative price for the milk produced by the farmer
members of the co-operative societies.
• To provide technical input services like veterinary services, artificial insemination,
supply of balanced cattle feed & Fodder seed materials etc., to milk producers.
• To facilitate rural development by providing opportunities for self-employment at
village level, thereby preventing migration to urban areas, introducing cash economy
& opportunity for steady income.
• To provide quality Milk and milk products to urban consumers at competitive prices.
BACKGROUND
On January 1st 1958 a pilot scheme to cater the Bangalore Milk Market, Department of Animal
Husbandry, Government of Karnataka was started Milk processing facilities & Veterinary
Hospitals at National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI). Later in 1962, The Bangalore Milk
Supply Scheme came into existence as an independent body. With the great efforts by the then
As per the policies of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Bangalore Dairy was
handed over to Bangalore Milk Union Ltd., (Bamul) on 1st September 1988. The Union is
capable of processing the entire milk procured, by timely implementation of several
infrastructure projects like commissioning of New Mega Dairy state-of-the-art technology with a
processing Capacity of 6.0 Lakh liters per day, new chilling centers, renovation of product block
etc.,
The milk shed area of Bamul comprises of 2611 revenue villages. As of now the Union has
organized 1803 Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCS) in 2,225 villages, thereby covering 85 % of
the total villages in these two districts. In these DCSs, there are 3,31,544 milk producer
members. Among them 105804 members are women and 59,235 members belong to Schedule
Caste and Schedule Tribes.
The philosophy of this co-operative milk producers’ organization is to eliminate middlemen and
organize institutions owned and managed by milk producers, by employing professionals.
Achieve economies of scale of rural milk producers by ensuring maximum returns and at the
same time providing wholesome milk at reasonable price to urban consumers. Ultimately, the
complex network of co-operative organization should build a strong bridge between masses of
rural producers and millions of urban consumers & achieve a socio-economic revolution in the
village community.
MILK PROCUREMENT
The Milk produced by 89789 farmers at village level will be collected every day morning
and Evening at DCS. Under Clean Milk Production programme, to maintain the freshness
& quality of the milk 85 Bulk Milk Coolers covering 376 DCS of Total Capacity
1,45,000 Lts were installed at DCS level. During the year the Unions daily average milk
procurement is 8.29 Lakh Kgs, which works out to be 485 kgs per day per DCS. The milk
procurement has increased by 13.59 % when compared to the last year.
Bamul is offering the most remunerative milk procurement price to member producers. The
operational efficiency is reflected on procurement prices paid to the member producers. The
average milk procurement price paid during the year was Rs. 14.24 for every Kg of Milk
Milk collected at DCS will be transported to Chilling Centers, through 94 Milk Procurement Can
Routes, by traveling 16,416 KM’s every day. 23 Bulk Milk Cooler (BMC) Routes are also in
operation, which collects milk from 85 BMC centers of 376 DCS directly transported to
The Bangalore Milk Union is marketing milk and milk products in the brand name of “Nandini”
through 1090 retailers, 39 Franchisee Outlets, 25 Milk Parlors, 19 Whole sale Dealers, 14
Transporter Cum Distributors being served by 214 distribution routes. The key success factor of
Bamul in becoming a market leader is the narrow price spread maintained between purchase &
sales, marketing higher volumes of milk. The volume of sales plays a critical role in determining
costs. Hence, the market strategy of Bangalore Milk Union is to regard selling of market milk as
its core marketing activity and to concentrate its efforts in this direction to increase the volume of
milk sales. The impressive growth in the sale of milk by Bamul over the years is due to the
persistent efforts to maintain timely supply, maintaining quality and attending to the complaints
of consumers and agents with prompt follow-up action.
Vision
• To march forward with a missionary zeal which will make KMF a trailblazer of
exemplary performance and achievements beckoning other Milk Federations in the
country in pursuit of total emulation of its good deeds.
• To ensure prosperity of the rural Milk producers who are ultimate owners of the
Federation.
• To promote producer oriented viable cooperative society to impart an impetus to the rural
income, dairy productivity and rural employment.
• To abridge the gap between price of milk procurement and sale price.
• To develop business acumen in marketing and trading disciplines so as to serve
consumers with quality milk, give a fillip to the income of milk producers.
• To compete with MNCs and Private Dairies with better quality of milk and milk products
and in the process sustain invincibility of cooperatives.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT:
The strategy of Bangalore Milk Union is “Procure More, Sell More & Serve More” and reaping
the benefits of economies of scale. In order to realize this strategy, the Union has implemented
the following projects so that more and more milk can be procured and processed. This will help
us to serve our producer members by passing on the maximum benefits, we are consciously

constantly.
dairy processing
and the Union will have the ability to manufacture milk and milk products to world class
standards.
Although Bamul sets standards for its products for better serve to customers, it was not possible
to keep the standards stability due to manual operations. In designing mega dairy, Bamul
looked towards an automated system that would allow it to achieve consistent quality parameters
for each product. Energy and manpower would also be more effectively optimised and
controlled and all plant equipment would be integrated.
NEW Projects:
Bamul has planned to convert Hosakote Chilling Center into a 2.0.LLPD Capacity Dairy with an
investment of Rs.2427.00 Lakh and a New Product Block at Bangalore Dairy Premises with an
investment of Rs. 2033.00 Lakhs by the end of 2010.
Bamul has SEVEN Chilling Centers geographically located around Bangalore and 85 Bulk Milk
Coolers at DCS Level. Milk Product Block within the campus to manufacture Butter, Ghee,
Peda, Flavoured Milk, Spiced Butter Milk, Paneer, Set Curds etc.
FINANCE
The Union had an approximate turnover of Rs. 508.24 crores in the year 2008-09 as against Rs.
452.05 Crores for the year 2007-08. Union has earned a approximate Net profit of Rs. 1.59
Crores for the year 2008-09 as against Rs. 3.44 Crores during 2007-08. This decline in Net
Profit is due to increase in Milk Procurement Price to Milk Producers.
ANIMAL HEALTH
The Union is taking special care to promote the health of the cattle of member milk producers.
Veterinary facilities have been extended to all the DCS. Mobile veterinary routes, emergency
veterinary routes, Health camps, vaccination against foot & mouth disease and thaileriosis
diseases, etc., are being regularly done. Regularly Deworming is also done for the cattle. There
is also a backup of First Aid Services to needy DCS’s.
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Artificial Insemination (AI) has been the main functional tool in dictating this upsurge of
development of Dairying in Bamul. Farmers have taken up cross-breeding from way back in
1962. The Union has surveyed and appropriately located AI centers based on cattle population.
It is also popularized the idea of cluster AI centers and replace the Single AI centers in a phased
manner. The use of progeny tested semen from “Nandini Sperm Station” is also giving a further
To reduce infertility in cattle, a frontal attack has been continuously attempted by conducting
Special Infertility Camps under the expert guidance and by the use of infertility connected drugs.
During 1999-2000, a Vertical Silo of 10,000 liter capacity for storing Liquid Nitrogen has been
installed under TMDD program in collaboration with National Dairy Development Board and
Karnataka Milk Federation. In addition this facility is being used for supplying liquid nitrogen to
neighboring Unions and also to Department of Animal Husbandry. This has helped in protecting
the quality of semen straws, thereby considerably increasing the probability of conception during
artificial insemination of cattle.
The Union is implementing several programs to increase milk production and also to reduce the
cost of milk production in the milk shed area. Balanced cattle feed is being procured from the
Cattle Feed Plants of KMF for distribution among member producers.
Fodder seeds are distributed to member producers at subsidized rates. In addition to this,
technical advice, Silage Demonstrations, Azzolla Demonstrations and Straw Treatment
Demonstrations are also being conducted at DCS level. Chaff Cutters are supplied at subsidized
rates.
A Seed Processing plant was commissioned at Rajankunte by investing Rs. 41 lakhs. The Union
is catering to the Seed production needs of many Unions in Karnataka and also of Southern
India.
Yashasvini Health Insurance Scheme was muted by Government of Karnataka during the year
2001-02. This scheme was implemented by Coperative department, Members of Co-operative
Societies and their family members are the beneficiaries of this scheme. The annual premium is
Rs. 120/- per beneficiary. All major hospitals are adopted for this scheme, all types of surgery
CATTLE INSURANCE:
Bangalore Milk Union is providing Insurance Coverage to the Dairy animals in collaboration
with United India Insurance Ltd., 40,238 animals are covered under this Insurance. The annual
premium is 2.22% of the value of the animal. 50% of the annual premium of Rs. 122.99 Lakh
was borne by bamul.
IN THIS MILLENNIUM
We want to become not only the largest Union, but also become one amongst the best-run milk
unions in the country. The Union is aware of the challenges of the new private entrants, who are
mainly thriving on unfair trade practices. They procure milk at least cost, without bothering
about the welfare of the producers and without extending any technical inputs for improving
milk production. They market milk by resorting to unhealthy and unethical practices deceiving
the unsuspecting consumers. The Union wants to counter this in a positive manner by trying to
improve its efficiency of operation and market promotion. It wants to become well trenched in
the market as market leader. It wants to follow the strategy of cost-competitiveness, which is
hard to match by the competitors.

right levels would adversely affect the profitability position of the company.
The exposure in BAMUL has made clear how the current assets and liabilities are

7) General Introduction.
7.1) Statement of problem :-
1. To ascertain Cost Volume profit of the Company for The past 4 years.
Detailed discussion with the officials and other personnel of financial departments
to obtain the clear picture about the working of department.
Study of various years annual reports to make comparison of the Company’s Cost
Volume and profit.
In the words of Heiser “ The Most Significant single Factor in profit planning of
average business is the relationship between the volume of business , costs and
profit. When volumes of output increases unit cost of production decreases, and
vice versa ; because the fixed cost remains unaffected . When Output Increases ,
the fixed Cost Per unit decreases. Therefore profit will be more, When sales price
remains Constant. Generally Costs may not change in direct proportion to the
volume . thus small change in volume will affect the profit.
The management is always interested in knowing that which
product or product mix is most profitable, what effect a change in volume of
output will have on the cost of production and profit etc. all these problems are
solved with the help of Cost-Volume-Profit analysis.
1) The study is based on secondary data from the Annual reports of the company.
2) The data collected and interpreted may not reflect the true picture of the company.
3) Limitations of time i.e..the study are carried out for academic purpose for a limited span
of 8 weeks. The time constraint did not allow for the in depth study regarding the
performance of the company.
4) This study does not take in to account the sales mix analysis which is a part of the cost
volume profit analysis.
5) Inference are drawn based on the data collect the company where manufacturing of milk
is done.
6) Inferences based on the data collected by the company.
7) The information provided in financial statements is not an end itself and has no
meaningful conclusions can be drawn from these statements alone.
2) Break-even Analysis;
4) Profit graph;
5) Key factor;
The data have been collected from the Company’s published Annual Reports of 4 years.
Sources Of data:
Primary Data:
The primary data is the data, which is to be collected through Interviews like interaction with
the Finance executive and manager.
Secondary data:
The secondary data to study is Collected through the Records , Annual Reports, Company
News , Manuals of the Company and maintained by the Organizations.
Plan of analysis.
Analysis of data was done using the four years Financial statements. Cost Volume profits for
past 4 years were Compared and computed and graphs also Used for analysis.
7.7.1) Contribution
Contribution is the difference between sales and marginal cost of sales. Contribution
enables to meet Fixed costs and add to the profit . Contribution is also known as gross
margin Fixed cost are covered by contribution; and the balance amount is an addition to
the net profit .
Or
C = S-V
C= F+P
S-V = F+P
C= Contribution;
Where:
• TFC is Total Fixed Costs,
• P is Unit Sale Price, and
• V is Unit Variable Cost.
The quantity is of interest in its own right, and is called the Unit Contribution Margin
(C): it is the marginal profit per unit, or alternatively the portion of each sale that contributes to
Fixed Costs. Thus the break-even point can be more simply computed as the point where Total
Contribution = Total Fixed Cost.
R=C Where R is revenue generated C is cost incurred i.e. Fixed costs + Variable Costs or Q X
P(Price per unit)=FCT + Q X VC(Price per unit) Q X P - Q X VC=FC Q (P-VC)=FC or Break
Even Analysis
Q=FC/P-VC=Break Even
By inserting different prices into the formula, you will obtain a number of break even points, one
for each possible price charged. If the firm changes the selling price for its product, from $2 to
$2.30, in the example above, then it would have to sell only (1000/(2.3 - 0.6))= 589 units to
break even, rather than 715.
To make the results clearer, they can be graphed. To do this, you draw the total cost curve (TC in
the diagram) which shows the total cost associated with each possible level of output, the fixed
cost curve (FC) which shows the costs that do not vary with output level, and finally the various
total revenue lines (R1, R2, and R3) which show the total amount of revenue received at each
output level, given the price you will be charging.
The break even points (A,B,C) are the points of intersection between the total cost curve (TC)
and a total revenue curve (R1, R2, or R3). The break even quantity at each selling price can be
read off the horizontal axis and the breakeven price at each selling price can be read off the
vertical axis. The total cost, total revenue, and fixed cost curves can each be constructed with
simple formulae. For example, the total revenue curve is simply the product of selling price
times quantity for each output quantity. The data used in these formulae come either from
accounting records or from various estimation techniques such as regression analysis.
The break-even point is one of the simplest yet least used analytical tools in management. It
helps to provide a dynamic view of the relationships between sales, costs and profits. A better
understanding of break-even, for example, is expressing break-even sales as a percentage of
actual sales—can give managers a chance to understand when to expect to break even (by
linking the percent to when in the week/month this percent of sales might occur).
The break-even point is a special case of Target Income Sales, where Target Income is 0
(breaking even).
Graph-9 Contribution
Interpretation
The graph clearly depicts the increasing trend of contribution level for the first 3 years this
suggests that increasing level of profitability of the company. And for next 2 years the
contribution is decreasing the company is losing the profitability. So in order to gain or maintain
the steady level of profit the company has only 2 choices
Interpretation
The above graph depicts the break even sales of the company over the past 5
years. The break even sales achieved by the company is volatile this shows that
the company is not maintaining the constant sales level over the years and so the
company is striving hard to achieve the break even sales.
P/V ratio is very important in decision making it can be used for the calculation of
B.E.P and in problems regarding the profit sales relationship.
INTERPRETATION
The profit Volume ratio can be called as the mirror of the company as the higher
P/V ratio indicates higher profit and vice versa. The above graph depicts clearly
the decreasing ratio of the company says that the profit of the company has been
decreasing over the years. The company has enjoyed higher profit in 2006 when
compared to 2010.

Conclusion
Profitability analysis involves examining the relationship between revenues , Costs and profits.
Cost-Volume-Profit analysis , a traditional approach to profitability analysis , considers only
unit-level activity cost drivers. In CVP analysis , “volume refers to a single unit-level cost driver,
such as units sold , that is assumed to correlate with changes in revenues , costs and profits.
Because Cost-Volume-Profit analysis provides a framework for discussing planning issues and
organizing relevant data , it is widely used in early stages of planning to enhance their usefulness
, cost-Volume-Profit relationships are summarized in Graphs or in contribution income
statements that classify costs according to behavior (variable or fixed) and emphasize the
contribution margin that goes toward covering fixed cost and providing a profit. When applied to
a single product , service or event when a single cost driver drives costs , the use of a single
independent variable appears reasonable. Although CVP analysis is often used to develop an
understanding of the overall operation of an organization or business segment , accuracy
decreases as the scope of operations being analyzed increases.
Standards may be refixed taking past performance in to consideration and also industry average
productivity of the employees should be increased by boosting morale , in turn more production
can be achieved , which paves way for cost control in turn cost of production can be reduced
substitutes may be found out which leads to cost control and quality and quality improvement
.machines should be modernized optimum utilization of men, machinery ,Materials and Money
should be achieved.
