Cost Volume Profit (CVP) Analysis:
The Cost Volume Profit analysis is the analysis of the relation between cost, volume, and profit of a product. It analyzes the cost and profits at the different level of production, in order to determine the breakeven point and required the level of sales to earn the desired profit.
Contribution margin means the margin that is left with the company after recovering variable cost out of revenue earned by selling smart phones. The formula for contribution margin is as follows:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost.
Similarly contribution margin ratio = Contribution/sales
Breakeven Point:
The Breakeven point is the level of sales at which the net profit is nil. It can be explained as a situation where the business is generating a sale that is equal to the expenses incurred and hence no
To calculate:
The breakeven point in units

- Suppose that the elasticity of demand at a given price level is E(p)=.8. What does that mean? Select both the correct answer to elastic, unit, or inelastic as well as what the company should do to increase revenue.

What is the demand? (b) Use Goal Seek to calculate the price that results in breakeven. If required, round your answer to two decimal places. c) Use a data table that varies price from 350 to 3400 in increments of 325 to find the price that maximizes profit.arrow_forwardKnight Shades Inc. is considering adding new line of sunglasses to their designer series. The glasses will sell for $1,100 per pair and have a variable cost of $400 per unit. The company has spent $101,000 for a marketing study that estimates the company will sell 74,000 sunglasses per year for seven years. The fixed costs each year to produce the sunglasses will be $5,040,000. The company has also spent $706,000 on research and development for the new glasses. The new plant and equipment will cost $12,000,000 at start-up and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the seven years. At the end of the seven years the plant and equipment will be worthless. The new sunglasses will also require an increase in net working capital of $664,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 40 percent, and the cost of capital is 9 percent. The marketing study also estimates that introducing the new sunglasses will reduce sales of the company's high-priced…arrow_forwardWhich of the following would decrease unit contribution margin the most?

Thank youarrow_forwardImagine that you could increase the price for a product that has a profit margin of 8% on its price. If you could increase the price by 1% AND simultaneously keep the sales volume (in unit terms) at the same level as before the price increase, calculate the impact of this price increase on the profit margin. (For this question, assume there are no fixed costs. You just need to calculate the PERCENTAGE CHANGE in profit margin)arrow_forwardAPPLY THE CONCEPTS: Use the CVP graph to analyze the effects of changes in price and costs Graph the following on your own paper. At the original position, the break-even point in sales dollars is $24,000 at 500 units. The fixed costs are $8,000. Assume the slope of the sales line is equal to the selling price. When the two points of the sales line are at the origin and the break-even point, you see that the slope of the line is $48, which means that the selling price is $ When the two points of the total costs line are at the origin and the break-even point, you see that the slope of the line is $32.00, which means that the variable cost per unit is $ Leave the break-even point (x) at its original position. Use it as a reference point to answer the following questions. Analyze the scenarios by sliding the points on the lines to get the slope desired. Recall that the new break-even point for each scenario exists where the sales and total costs lines intersect. Compare it to the…arrow_forwardGiven that the total cost, C, is related to sales volume, x, by the equation y=1000+0.2x, say true or false for the following and proof it.
