The document discusses cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, which analyzes the relationship between costs, volume, and profit. It defines key CVP terms like break-even point, contribution margin, fixed costs, and margin of safety. The contribution margin approach is described as a method to calculate break-even point using contribution margin per unit or sales to cover fixed costs and desired profit. CVP analysis helps businesses determine the production volume needed to break even and the sensitivity of profits to changes in sales volume.
