Cost-Volume-Profit analysis

Article Abstract:

Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis is a way of formally assessing the financial ability of a product by using the distinction between variable costs and fixed costs. This allows a minimum break-even level of sales to be identified as well as a safety margin prior for given sales levels before losses appear. CVP involves some simplification such as an assumption that variable costs and sales revenues have a linear relationship to sales, but unit selling prices and variable costs may not always be constant. There may also be less of a difference between fixed and variable costs than is supposed.

The euro: a preliminary assessment

Article Abstract:

European monetary union began officially in Jan 1999, and a new currency, the euro, was launched for member countries. Inflation and budget deficits are under greater control, and the European Central Bank sets interest rates for euro countries. The euro initially dropped in value, and this has affected the United Kingdom, which has seen its currnecy rise in relation to the euro, making exports to euro countries more expensive. There has also been a drop in public confidence in the euro as a result of its fall.
