Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line that begins at the origin on a CVP (Cost-Volume-Profit) graph represents the total sales revenue. This line shows the relationship between sales volume and sales revenue at different levels of production or sales. The slope of the line represents the contribution margin, which is the difference between sales revenue and variable expenses. The total fixed expenses are represented by a horizontal line on the graph. The total expenses are the sum of the fixed and variable expenses and are shown by a line that starts at the total fixed expenses level and then slopes upward.
