Understanding Cost‐Volume‐Profit Relationships

  • Cost‐volume‐profit (CVP) analysis expresses the

relationship between a company’s expenses, its volume

  • f business and the resulting profit or net income
  • f business, and the resulting profit or net income
  • Variable expenses change in proportion to the amount
  • f business a company does
  • A fixed expense is an expense that must be paid

regardless of sales volume

  • A variable expense is part variable and part fixed
  • The point where revenue equals expenses is called the

break‐even point

– Break‐even analysis

Working with What‐If Analysis and Goal Seek

To perform what‐if analysis:

– Change the value of a worksheet cell (the input cell) b l l d ll ( h l – Observe its impact on one or more calculated cells (the result cells)

To perform Goal Seek:

– In the Data Tools group on the Data tab, click the What‐If Analysis button, and then click Goal Seek – In the Set cell box select the result cell and then in the To In the Set cell box, select the result cell, and then, in the To value box, specify its value (goal) – In the By changing cell box, specify the input cell – Click the OK button. The value of the input cell changes to set the value of the result cell

Working with One‐Variable Data Tables

  • A data table organizes the results of several what‐if

analyses within a single table

  • Insert a formula that references the input cell in the

upper‐left cell of the table

  • Insert input values in either the first row or first column
  • f the table
  • For input values in the first row, insert formulas

referencing result cells in the table’s first column; for input values in the first column, insert formulas referencing result cells in the table’s first row

Working with One‐Variable Data Tables

  • Select the table (excluding any row or column

headings). In the Data Tools group on the Data tab, click the What‐If Analysis button, and then click Data Table

  • If the input values are in the first row, enter the

cell reference to the input cell in the Row input cell box; if the input values are in the first cell box; if the input values are in the first column, enter the cell reference to the input cell in the Column input cell box
