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

- Peppy Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter (toy drone) for $70 and a deluxe quadcopter for $90. Peppy purchases the standard quadcopter for $60 and the deluxe quadcopter for $65. Management expects to sell two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters. The company's monthly fixed expenses are $16,000. How many of each type of quadcopter must Peppy sell monthly to breakeven? To earn $12,000?arrow_forwardaverage variable cost (cost price) is SAR 9. Thus, every time the store sells a toy car it has SAR A Toy store sells remote control car. The average selling price is SAR 15 and the o remaining after it pays the manufacturer. This SAR 6 is referred to as the unit contribution. The fixed costs of operating the store (its operating expenses) are SAR 100,000 per year. If the total sales units are 20,000. Prepare the Income statement in contribution margin a. format. b. The fixed costs of operating the store (its operating expenses) are SAR100, 000 per year. Find Break-even in units?
