Turn your raw costs and sales data into confident decisions. This practical slide deck walks non-accountants through the essentials of Managerial Accounting with a step-by-step focus on Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis—so you can set prices, forecast profit, and know exactly how many units you must sell to break even.

Who it’s for

  • Small-business owners, operators, and founders
  • Product leads and side-hustlers who need numbers they can act on

  • Cost behavior: Identify variable, fixed, and mixed costs with clear visuals.
  • Estimating costs, two ways:
    • High-Low Method for a quick first pass
    • Least-Squares Regression in Excel for a more accurate cost equation (with on-screen steps)
  • The Profit Formula: Profit=SP(x)−VC(x)−TFC\text{Profit} = SP(x) – VC(x) – TFCProfit=SP(x)−VC(x)−TFC
  • Realistic examples: Compute break-even and target profit (e.g., units required to earn $1,000).
