　　Cost- Volume-Profit (C-V-P) analysis is the technique for determining how changes in cost and
　　volume affect the profitability of an organization. Here we will discuss how the analysis of cost behavior patterns allows management to understand the effects that changes in cost, volume, and revenue will have on profit. The techniques for studying these relationships are collectively referred to as cost-volume-profit (C-V-P) analysis. They can be used in making decisions about selling prices, production volume, levels of discretionary fixed costs, and so on.
　　There are three common and related ways to perform C-V-P analysis: (1) The contribution margin approach; (2) The equation approach; and (3) the graphical approach. Although all the three common methods of C-V-P analysis are variations of the same calculations, each approach has its advantages. The graphical approach allows the simultaneous analysis of several different activity levels.
　　Among others things, C-V-P analysis is used to compute break-even points and target net income levels. The equation approach is especially useful in assessing how profit change when costs or revenues change.
　　Three limiting assumptions are (1) that the sales mix is constant, (2) that cost and revenue behavior patterns are linear and remain constant over the relevant range, and (3)that all costs can be categorized as either fixed or variable. When sales volumes are relatively stable management should always emphasize the products with the highest contribution-margin ratios.
