Concept introduction:
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) Analysis:
The Cost Volume Profit analysis is the analysis of the relation between cost, volume, and profit of a product. It analyzes the cost and profits at the different level of production, in order to determine the breakeven point and required the level of sales to earn the desired profit.
Contribution margin means the margin that is left with the company after recovering variable cost out of revenue earned by selling smart phones. The formula for contribution margin is as follows:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost.
Similarly contribution margin ratio = Contribution/sales
Breakeven Point:
The Breakeven point is the level of sales at which the net profit is nil. It can be explained as a situation where the business is generating a sale that is equal to the expenses incurred and hence no
To calculate:
The required sales units to earn the desired profit

- a. Assume that the cost of goods sold is 60% and that the monthly discount rate is 1%. Looking at the values in the exhibit above, you note that the average monthly revenue for a subscribed customer rises as the company sends more emails. In addition, the average monthly revenue for an unsubscribed customer also rises as the company sends more emails. What could explain both of these patterns? b. Calculate the 6-month LTV for each of the four tested email frequencies. Please show the spreadsheet with your calculations and be clear about any assumptions you are making. c. Based on this test, how many emails-per-week should the company be sending to its customers? This email frequency should apply to all customers; the company doesn't want to implement a different email frequency for different kinds of peoplearrow_forwardStudy the information given below and answer each of the following questions independently:Calculate the total Marginal Income and Net Profit/Loss if all the tables are sold.

- When prices are rising (inflation), which costing method would produce the highest value for gross margin? Choose between first-in, first-out (FIFO); last-in, first-out (LIFO); and weighted average (AVG). Evansville Company had the following transactions for the month.
