- CVP analysis is based on a number of simplistic assumptions about cost behaviour which undermine the model’s effectiveness.
- Costs can be divided into fixed and variable costs but in reality many costs have a fixed and variable element(semi-variable) and may not be easy to divide.
- There is a linear relationship between output and costs and revenues. The economists view tends to dispute this and presents a curvilinear model.
- The business has only one product or there is a specific constant product mix.
- The only factor influencing costs and revenues is output. Other factors such as production efficiency and production methods may impact on output.
