importance of CVP analysis. As CVP is a ‘systematic method of examining the relationship between changes in activity and changes in total revenue‚ expenses and net profit’ (Drury‚ 2000)‚ it is a very useful tool for managers to consider cost structure and price setting. When used in computer applications the method helps managers to make decisions based on the results by varying different variables such as selling price‚ variables cost‚ etc. This altering of variables to determine the net effect of changing

Title : Graphing a Linear Relationship Objective : To verify the linear relationship between the circumference and the diameter of circular objects by taking experimental data and utilizing graphical techniques. Introduction : The distance around a circle is called its circumference. A simple experiment can be conducted to aid in understanding the formula for the circumference of the circle. Use a piece of string to measure the distance around a circular

Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where

COST-VOLUME PROFIT (CVP) ANALYSIS This is a technique used for planning short-term run profits by finding the relationship between profits and factors that influence profits. The following factors are taken to be influencing profits:- • Selling price • Variable cost of production • Fixed costs • Activity level (production and sales units) Profit planning is based on break-even analysis and can be worked out using either; a) Algebraic method b) Contribution method c) Break-even
