Strategy and CVP Analysis Edward Blocher and Kung H. Chen ABSTRACT: The ALLTEL Pavilion case is intended for the undergraduate management accounting or cost accounting course and the M.B.A. management accounting course. It provides an excellent context in which to examine strategic issues in using cost volume profit (CVP) in a service business. Based on an actual entertainment pavilion‚ the case develops many factors unique to a service business and illustrates how pavilion management can use CVP analysis

The precision of a numerical solution can be diminished in several subtle ways. Understanding these difficulties can often guide the practitioner in the proper implementation and/or development of numerical algorithms. Definition 1.1 Suppose x is an approximation

PROJECT PROPOSAL The research investigation will be focused on the use of cost-volume-profit analysis as a management tool for decision making using Nigerian Breweries Plc as a case study. Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis narrowly called break-even analysis‚ is the application of marginal costing and seeks to study the relationship between costs‚ volume and profits at differing activity levels and can be a useful guide for short-term planning and decision making.

Numerical Simulation of Marangoni-Driven Boundary Layer Flow Over a Flat Plate with an Imposed Temperature Distribution Abstract: A numerical algorithm is presented for studying Marangoni convection flow over a flat plate with an imposed temperature distribution. Plate temperature varies with x in the following prescribed manner: where A and k are constants. By means of similarity transformation‚ the original nonlinear partial differential equations of flow are transformed to a pair of nonlinear
