It is widely used by managers to make informed decisions regarding pricing, production, and budgeting. In Yola South LGA, businesses face varying levels of uncertainty due to fluctuating costs, market conditions, and consumer preferences. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CVP analysis in aiding managerial decision-making in the region, focusing on how this tool helps managers optimize costs, profits, and overall business performance.
