DESCRIPTION:

Amer Saleem Qureshi, a young MBA and an Executive Assistant, prepared a C-V-P analysis for his family-owned engineering concern, Zulsham. The firm manufactured rings and spindles for the textile sector and faced competition from foreign manufactured products. Amer was concerned that if the firm kept on the way it had for the past two years, there might not be too many years ahead for it. Prior to performing any number-based analysis, he had to decide which costs were variable and which were fixed. The case addresses the issue of C-V-P analysis and also provides some information on the various duties and surcharges that exist in Pakistan.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

This case is to be used at the early stages of a Managerial accounting and Control course. It can be used either as as the only case to address the issues of C-V-P analysis or as a second case if an easier case is being used to introduce the topic. The case is intended for use in an 80 minute session and requires a fair degree of number crunching.

SUBJECTS COVERED:
