The following forecasts relate to a single-product business for a period:Variable costs $38, 640 Fixed costs $39, 975 Sales revenue $84, 000 Sales unit 6, 000 What sales revenue is required to achieve a profit of $12, 000 in the period?
A
$74, 030
B
$90, 615
C
$96, 250
D
$112, 990
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The assumptions underlying CVP analysis are: The behavior of both costs and revenues is linear throughout the relevant range of activity. (This assumption precludes the concept of volume discounts on either purchased materials or sales.) Costs can be classified accurately as either fixed or variable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overall fixed cost will remain constant but fixed costs per unit will decrease as volume increases. Therefore this statement as it is written is not an assumption o CVP analysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Variable Cost Formula. To calculate variable costs, multiply what it costs to make one unit of your product by the total number of products you’ve created. This formula looks like this: Total Variable Costs = Cost Per Unit x Total Number of Units.
