Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis Quiz

What is Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis used for?

• Determining fixed costs

• Determining how much to sell to earn desired income

• Calculating interest rates

• Estimating taxes

In CVP analysis, what remains constant as activity increases?

• Total variable costs

• Fixed costs

• Sales revenue

• Contribution margin

What happens to cost per unit when activity increases, in the context of fixed costs?

• It remains constant

• It increases

• It decreases

• It fluctuates

What increases as activity increases in the context of variable costs?

• Fixed costs

• Total variable costs

• Sales price

• Contribution margin

What is a characteristic of mixed costs?

• They are purely variable

• They are purely fixed

• They contain both fixed and variable components

• They fluctuate randomly

What is the slope of the total cost line in a CVP graph?

• Total fixed cost

• Unit variable cost

• Total revenue

• Break-even point

In the context of economies of scale, what type of business typically has high fixed costs?

• Retail stores

• Airlines

• Local shops

• Freelance services

What happens to total cost within a narrow range of activity?

• It increases linearly

• It remains constant

• It fluctuates significantly

• It decreases

What is the break-even point?

• The point where total costs equal total sales revenue

• he point where total costs are at their minimum

• The point where total sales are at their maximum

• The point where variable costs equal fixed costs

How do you calculate the break-even point in units?

• Fixed costs / Variable cost per unit

• Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit

• Fixed costs / Sales price per unit

• Variable costs / Contribution margin per unit
