ApplicationsApplications
• New Product decisions :-
Enables to determine the sale
volume required for a firm
(or an individual product) to
breakeven , given expected sales
price and expected costs.
• Pricing decisions:- Enables to
study the effect of changing price
and volume relationship on total
profits.
32. Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT MumbaiDr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai 3232
• Modernizations or automation
decisions:- Analysis the profit in
implication of a modernization or
automation programme.
• Expansion Decisions :- studies
the aggregate effect of a general
expansion in production and
sales.
