قرار التوسع باستخدام تحليل CVP.

Managers may consider expanding production capacity as market demand rises.

However, expanding production capacity increases fixed costs such as rent, equipment, and supervisor salaries.

Cost-Volume-Profit, or CVP, analysis helps managers find out how many units must be sold to cover these increased fixed costs.

Consider Alpha Corporation. The company plans to add a new production line to meet growing demand.

The expansion requires additional space and machinery, which increases fixed costs to one million dollars and raises the break-even point.

Assume each unit earns a contribution margin of one hundred dollars.

To cover one million dollars in fixed costs, Alpha Corporation must sell ten thousand units to break even.

Market research estimates sales of twelve thousand units.

Since expected sales exceed the break-even level, the company will earn a profit after covering fixed costs.

The extra two thousand units provide a margin of safety.

CVP helps them evaluate whether expansion will increase profit or create financial risk.

Managers also consider market conditions, capacity constraints, and long-term strategy before making a final decision.
