Zone of Possible Agreement (ZOPA)

Zone of Possible Agreement is the negotiation range within which two parties can reach a deal because the minimum acceptable point of one side overlaps with the maximum acceptable point of the other. While this is more of a negotiation and commercial concept than a pure accounting term, it can be relevant in contracts, pricing, settlements, and business transactions. Understanding ZOPA helps negotiators structure outcomes that are financially workable for both sides.
