Alex is a sales manager at Alpha Audio, a manufacturer of portable speakers.
He uses Cost-Volume-Profit analysis, also known as CVP analysis, as a financial tool to understand how changes in costs, sales volume, and prices affect profits.
It focuses on five key factors that drive profits.
These include the selling price per unit, the number of units sold, the variable cost per unit, total fixed costs, and the sales mix, where multiple products are involved.
Each speaker sells for one hundred dollars, has a variable cost of sixty dollars, and the company’s fixed costs are forty thousand dollars.
To earn a twenty-thousand-dollar profit, Alex calculates the contribution margin by subtracting variable costs from the selling price, giving forty dollars per unit.
Next, the total of fixed costs and the target profit is divided by the contribution margin per unit to find out the number of units required to achieve the desired profit.
Alpha Audio must sell one thousand five hundred speakers to reach its profit goal.
With CVP analysis, Alex can estimate the sales needed to reach profit goals and plan more effectively.
