CVP analysis is a managerial accounting technique used to study the
relationships between a company's sales volume, costs, and profits. It
helps businesses understand how changes in sales volume affect their
profitability. The key components of CVP analysis are:
• Sales Revenue: The total amount of money generated from the sale
of products or services.
Cost-Volume- • Variable Costs: Costs that vary in direct proportion to the level of
sales or production.
Profit (CVP) • Fixed Costs: Costs that remain constant regardless of the level of
Analysis: sales or production.
• Contribution Margin: The difference between sales revenue and
variable costs.
• Profit: The amount of money remaining after deducting all costs
from sales revenue.
The break-even point is the level of sales at which a company's total
revenue exactly equals its total costs, resulting in zero profit or loss.
It is the point where the company covers all its costs but does not
generate any profit.
Formula: Break-Even Point (in units) = Fixed Costs / Contribution
Break-Even Margin per unit
Point Example: Continuing from the previous example, the fixed costs
were $10,000, and the contribution margin per unit was $20 ($50 -
$30). The break-even point in units would be:
Break-Even Point (in units) = $10,000 / $20 = 500 units
When profit is earned more than break even that is called safety
margin.
Formula: Safety Margin = Actual Sales - Break-Even Sales
Example: Using the same company as before, if the actual sales are
Safety Margin 600 units and the break-even sales are 500 units, the safety margin
would be:
Safety Margin = 600 units - 500 units = 100 units
Operating leverage refers to the degree to which a company uses fixed costs in its
operations. It measures the sensitivity of a company's profit to changes in sales
volume. A high operating leverage means that a company has a significant portion
of fixed costs in its cost structure, making it more sensitive to changes in sales.
This indicates that for every 1% change in sales, the company's operating income
will change by 2%.

Safety Margin
130000 – 127926= 2074
