Basic C-V-P Formulas

Profit can be calculated using the formula: Sales Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs = Profit.

C-V-P Equation in Units

The profit equation in units is expressed as: (Sales Price x Units) - (Variable Costs x Units) - Fixed Costs = Profit.

C-V-P Equation in Ratios

When analyzing C-V-P in ratios: Sales Revenue - (Variable Cost Ratio x Sales Revenue) - Fixed Costs = Profit.

Break-Even Equation

The break-even point occurs when total revenue covers total costs, leading to zero profit: Sales Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs = $0.

Contribution Margin Equation

Contribution Margin is derived from: Sales Revenue - Variable Costs.

Break-Even Sales in Units Equation

To find break-even sales in units: Total Fixed Costs / (Sales Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit).

Per-Unit Contribution Margin

To calculate the required sales volume for a target income: (Fixed Costs + Target Income) / Contribution Margin per Unit.

Variable Cost Ratio

This ratio indicates the proportion of variable costs to sales price: Variable Costs per unit / Sales Price per unit.

Sales Revenue Equation

The sales revenue equation is used to determine total revenue generated from sales.
