Comments on the validity of methodologies in cost-volume-profit analysis, suggesting better alternatives.

This paper critiques the statistical methodology of a previous study on stochastic cost-volume-profit analysis.
Evaluation of existing stochastic CVP analysis approaches: Chebyshev-type inequalities, direct simulation, and theoretical distribution.
Analysis of the statistical methods used by Ferrara-Hayya-Nachman study.
Comparison of the direct simulation approach with theoretical distributions.
Findings indicate that the methodologies used in the Ferrara-Hayya-Nachman study are invalid.
The direct simulation approach offers practical accuracy and ease of use for practitioners.
Theoretical distribution methods remain appealing despite their limitations.

Kottas et al. (1978) studied this question.
