Answer 1

Answer:

operating Income = Sales – Variable Costs – Fixed Costs

A CVP analysis is used to determine the sales volume required to achieve a specified profit level. Therefore, the analysis reveals the break-even point where the sales volume yields a net operating income of zero and the sales cutoff amount that generates the first dollar of profit.

Cost-volume profit analysis is an essential tool used to guide managerial, financial and investment decisions.

COST-VOLUME PROFIT ANALYSIS

Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Percentage

The first step required to perform a CVP analysis is to display the revenue and expense line items in a Contribution Margin Income Statement and compute the Contribution Margin Ratio.
