Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis is a technique for profit planning that systematically analyzes the relationship between profits, costs, and sales volume. It examines how factors like selling price, variable costs per unit, fixed costs, and unit sales impact profits, with profits tending to increase with higher prices, lower variable costs, lower fixed costs, and higher sales volume. CVP analysis is used to calculate break-even points in both pesos and units sold to determine the sales level needed for a product or company to reach the point where total revenue equals total costs. It can also be applied to analyze profits for companies with multiple products.

CVP Analysis - Useful for profit planning by way of systematic analysis of the profits relationship with various costs and volume of sales Factors in affecting profit:
Increase in Profits tend to be
Selling price increase
Unit variable cost(variable cost/unit) Decrease
Fixed cost Decrease
Volume(unit sales) Increase
Single Product Break-even analysis
- Compute breakeven point(total revenues = cost)
