Importance of CVP analysis for a business
Cost volume profit analysis is the analysis of three variable such as cost , volume and profit.CVP analysis explore the relationship exisiting amongst cost , revenue activity level and the resulting profit .CVP aims at measuring variations of cost with volume .That way CVP analysis plays an important role in profit planning of business
