The basic formula for calculating profit in CVP Analysis is Profit = (Sales - Variable Expense) - Fixed Expense. This formula helps businesses determine their profitability by considering both variable and fixed costs.

Another method for calculating the PV Ratio is PV Ratio = (Total Fixed Expense / BEP) * 100. BEP stands for Break-Even Point, and this formula helps businesses determine the sales level needed to cover their fixed costs.

An alternative way to calculate profit using CVP Analysis is Profit = (Sales * PV Ratio) - Fixed Expense. The PV Ratio, or Contribution Margin Ratio, represents the portion of each sale that contributes to profit after variable costs are covered.

Profit can also be expressed as a percentage of sales using the formula Profit % = CM Ratio * M/S Ratio. The CM Ratio is the Contribution Margin Ratio, and the M/S Ratio is the Markup-to-Sales Ratio, which indicates how much above variable cost each sale is priced.
