1. Prices of products;
2. Volume or level of activity;
3. Per unit variable cost;
4. Total fixed cost; and
5. Mix of product sold.
Because cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis helps managers understand the interrelationships among cost, volume, and profit it is a vital tool in many business decisions. These decisions include, for example, what products to manufacture or sell, what pricing policy to follow, what marketing strategy to employ, and what type of productive facilities to acquire.
