Abstract:

This paper presents a Multi-Disciplinary Case-Method approach to teaching Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) Analysis allowing students to use their own assumptions to simulate a real-life business startup analysis. The proposed business venture is one of starting a milkshake shack in the island of Hawaii. Students will learn to distinguish between fixed and variable costs, apply some of their own assumptions, and determine whether it would be profitable to open up a new business.
