Briefing Note
Reading comprehension is a skill that empowers lifelong learning intelligence for a better self.
Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is a useful tool..
✅ ..for analysing the relationship between costs, volume, and profit.
✅ However, it does have certain limitations that should be considered, including:
🚩 Assumptions
🚩 Single product focus
🚩 Cost classification
🚩 Limited scope
🚩 Ignoring non-financial factors
✅ CVP analysis relies on a number of assumptions, such as fixed costs and linear relationships between costs and volume, which may not always hold true in real-world situations.
✅ Deviations from these assumptions can lead to inaccurate results.
✅ CVP analysis is typically used to analyze the profitability of a single product or service.
✅ It may not be as useful in situations where a company produces multiple products with different cost and revenue structures.
✅ CVP analysis assumes that costs can be easily classified as either variable or fixed.
✅ Some costs, in practice, may have elements of both, making it difficult to accurately allocate costs to specific categories.
✅ CVP analysis focuses primarily on short-term decision-making and does not take into account long-term strategic considerations, such as changes in the competitive landscape or shifts in consumer preferences.
Ignoring non-financial factors..
✅ CVP analysis does not take into account non-financial factors that can impact a company’s performance, such as changes in technology, regulatory environment, or social trends.
While CVP analysis can be a useful tool for decision-making..
✅ ..its limitations should be carefully considered before relying on it as the sole basis for making important business decisions.
