Concept introduction:
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
Weighted Average Contribution Margin:
Weighted Average Contribution Margin is calculated for two products with the help of following formula:

Choose the correct letter of answer
On a scattergrap, the diagonal line cuts across two sets of observations, namely: 600:200, and 900:500 which refer to costs and units, respectively. The fixed costs is plotted in the graph at P400. In this case, the variable cost per unit is equal to: a. P1.00b. P1.25c. P1.50d. P1.12
In the equation Y = 200 + 0.8X, Y represents Question 54 options:
a) Variable cost per unit of activity
b) Activity level
c) Total cost
d) Fixed cost
