Answer:

Cost-volume-profit analysis.

Explanation:

An important tool in predicting the volume of activity, the costs to be incurred, the sales to be made, and the profit to be earned is cost-volume-profit analysis. It is an important tool in accounting that is used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating financial statements, both income and net income. It is also an accounting concept known as the break even analysis.

In order to use this cost-volume-profit analysis, accountants usually make some assumptions and these are;

1. Sales price per unit product is kept constant.

2. Variable costs per unit product are kept constant.

3. Total fixed costs of production are kept constant.

4. All the units produced are sold.

5. The costs accrued are as a result of change in business activities.

6. A company selling more than a product should simply sell in the same mix.
