CHAPTER THREE: COST-VOLUME-PROFIT ANALYSIS

 Cost-volume-profit analysis studies the relations among revenues, cost, and volume and their effect on profit.
 The key relation for CVP analysis is the profit equation.
 Total contribution margin is the amount that units sold contribute toward (1) covering fixed costs and (2) providing
operating profits.
 Contribution margin ratio is the contribution margin as a percentage of sales revenue.
 Profit-volume analysis is version of CVP analysis which uses a single profit line.
 Cost structure is the proportion of fixed and variable costs to the total costs of an organization.
 Operating leverage is the extent to which an organization’s cost structure is made up of fixed costs.
 The margin of safety is the excess of projected (actual) sales over the break-even sales level.

Operating profit= Total revenues – Total costs

Total revenue= Price * Units of output produced and sold

Total costs= (Variable costs per unit * units of output) + Fixed costs

Or… Profit= (Price- Variable costs) * Units of output – Fixed costs

Contribution margin = Selling price – Variable costs
