Document Summary

Cost-volume-profit (cvp) analysis estimates how changes in costs (both variable and fixed), sales volume and price affect a company"s profit. Variable costs are all costs that increase as more units are sold. Break-even point (brp): is the point where total revenue equals total cost. The contribution margin income statement is the income format that is based on the separation of costs into fixed and variable components. Contribution margin: is defined as the excess of sales over variable costs: Refers to the amount left after the variable costs are covered to contribute toward satisfying the fixed costs. Once the fixed costs are paid, any additional contribution margin increases income from operations. The more contribution margin that can be generated, the more easily fixed costs can be covered. Contribution margin ratio: indicates the percentage of each sales dollar available to cover fixed costs and to provide income from operations. Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin / sales.
