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

- Marikina Shoe Manufacturing Company will produce a special-style shoe if the order size is large enough to provide a reasonable profit. For each special -style order, the company incurs a fixed cost of P20,000 for the production set up. The variable cost is P600 per pair, and each pair sells for P800. a. Let x indicate the number of pairs of shoes produced. Develop a mathematical model for total cost of producing x paiars of shoes. b. Let P indicate the total profit. Develop a mathematical model for the total profit realized from an order for x pairs of shoes. c. How large must the order be for Marikina to breakeven?arrow_forwardSuper Sales Company is the exclusive distributor for a high-quality knapsack.
