Background of the Study
Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis is an essential tool in managerial accounting, used to understand the relationship between costs, volume, and profits. In the context of local government planning, CVP analysis helps in evaluating the financial impact of various decisions, such as resource allocation and expenditure management. For Kafanchan LGA, effective application of CVP analysis can optimize budget allocation for projects, improve financial planning, and ensure efficient use of public funds. This study aims to examine how CVP analysis can be applied in local government planning in Kafanchan LGA to enhance financial decision-making and long-term sustainability.
