An incorrect classification of costs at the stage of measuring the results of business segments or its responsibility centers contributes to inefficiencies resulting from inadequate motivation impacts. This is the case when the coverage margin statement provides incorrect information about the share of individual products in the creation of value added in the enterprise.In particular, the lack of proper analytics and allocation of fixed costs generated by particular products may cause the falsity of profitability of some products or customers. The author strives to identify the faults of the contribution margin disclosure that contribute to the reduction of the results of the companies and proposes a solution to eliminate mentioned imperfections.
