Subject. The article analyzes a cost management cycle, being a determinant in economic result formation, which is expressed by profit, and in competitiveness enhancement.
Objectives. The purpose is to use econometric tools to expand the analysis of cost management process through the modification and practical implementation of methodology components for multilevel systematic itemization of financials, and to highlight semi-variable and semi-fixed costs in total costs of the enterprise as an element of its external environment.
Methods. The study employs a multiple regression technique and multilevel systematic itemization of enterprise financials.
Results. The original methodology modification based on the specifics of the problem under analysis enabled to expand the scope of tools and offer directions of model development that take into account the departure from the traditional split of economic processes at the micro, meso, and macro levels. We considered relationships between the volume of production by brand, total amount of fixed costs, variable costs per unit, and performance with the help of assessing the break-even point. The analysis helped confirm semi-fixed and semi-variable costs and showed that the enterprise will remain in the break-even zone for the next five years.
Conclusions. The calculations demonstrate that it is possible to solve the problem of cost splitting. Modern information and computer tools can provide a labor-saving algorithm and adequate quality of results of analytical activity to develop and implement further administrative decisions.

Keywords: performance management, semi-variable costs, semi-fixed costs, multiple regression, dynamic model, spiral model
