ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: PRODUCT CRITICAL VOLUME AND LEVERAGE ANALYSIS OF APPLE
Abstract
This study employs cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine Apple Inc.'s major product lines' critical volume and operating leverage. We examine the relationship between production volume, expenses, and profitability using available financial data. The findings reveal Apple's profitability sensitivity to changes in sales volume and cost structures.
