Our small business accountants in Southbank explain what a cost-volume-profit analysis isAs a business it is important to determine how changes in cost and volume can affect both their operating and net income. As a result, our small business accountants in Southbank undertake a cost-volume-profit analysis for companies in order to find out these results. Firstly, when performing this analysis, our business accountants in Melbourne make these several assumptions: The analysis requires that all the company’s costs, including manufacturing, administration and selling costs are identified as variable or fixed. A few key calculations also have to be made by our small business accountants in Melbourne, including the contribution margin, contribution margin ratio and the break-even point. When calculated as a ratio, the contribution margin ratio is the percent of sales dollars available to cover fixed costs. The break-even point is where sales revenue equals total variable cost plus fixed costs, and the contribution margin equals fixed costs.
