This document provides an introduction to cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, which is a tool used by managers for planning and decision-making. CVP analysis estimates how changes in costs, sales volumes, prices, and other factors affect a company's profits. It makes assumptions such as costs and revenues changing linearly with volume. CVP analysis can be used to determine break-even points, profit levels at different volumes, and the sales needed to achieve profit targets. It is an important tool for decisions like pricing, production planning, and introducing new products. The document discusses key CVP concepts like fixed and variable costs, contribution margin, profit-volume ratio, break-even point, margin of safety, and multiple product
