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
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 required sales units to earn the desired profit

Determine the value of the marginal utilities, when *= 138 and *= 500. Hence estimate the change in utility if the individual works for an extra hour, which increases earned income by GH¢15 per week. Does the law of diminishing utility hold for this function?arrow_forward5. A merchant buys a particular product at P 20 per unit and sells them at P 35 per unit. His fixed cost is P 200.
