Document Summary

Cost-volume-profit analysis: expresses the relationships among costs, volume, and the company"s profit. Managers use cvp analysis to determine the sales volume that will be needed just to break even, or cover costs. Data and assumptions required for cvp analysis: a change in volume is the only factor that affects costs, managers can classify each cost (or components of mixed costs) as either variable or fixed. These costs are linear throughout the relevant range of volume: revenues are linear throughout the relevant range of volume, inventory levels will not change, the sales mix of products will not change. Sales mix is the combination of products that make up total sales. Contribution margin income statement: separates the costs on the income statement by cost behavior rather than function. On these income statements, the contribution margin is the dividing line all variable expenses go above the line, and all fixed expenses go below the line.
