Cost-volume-profit
Profit = (Price − Variable cost) × Units − Fixed costs
CVP separates costs that move with volume from costs that do not, then finds the volume where profit is zero.
What each symbol means
- Fixed costs
- Costs that do not change with volume.
- Price per unit
- Average selling price.
- Variable cost per unit
- Direct cost of one unit.
- Expected units
