Chapter 3- CVP Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis requires an understanding of cost behavior: variable and fixed costs. Cost behavior differs from the GAAP-based financial reporting focus: product and period costs. The two ways to categorize costs results in TWo different income statements: Absorption costing income statement: S-C-GM-SA-NI (Key assumption: Split costs into product and period costs) Variable costing income statement: S-VE-CM-FE-NI (Key assumption: Split costs into variable and fixed) 1. 2.
