INTRODUCTION

➢ A breakeven analysis is used to determine how much sales


volume your business needs to start making a profit.
➢ The breakeven analysis is especially useful when you are
developing a pricing strategy, either as part of marketing plan
or a business plan.
➢ In cost economics & business, the break even point (BEP) is the
point at which cost, or expenses and revenue are equal: there
is no net loss or gain.
➢ Total cost = Total revenue = B. E. P
BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS

In order to calculate how profitable a product will be, we must firstly look
at the Costs Price and Revenue involved.
There are two basic types of costs a company incurs.
❑ Fixed costs
❑ Variable Costs
 Fixed costs remain roughly the same regardless of sales/output level.
Examples include Rent, Insurance, Machine and Wages.
 Variable costs are costs that change with changes in production levels or
sales. Example include Costs of materials used in production of goods.

Volume (units per period)
ASSUMPTIONS

1. All elements of cost i.e., production, administration and selling


distribution can be divided into fixed and variable components.
2. Variable costs remain constant per unit of output.
3. Fixed cost remain constant at all volume of output.
4. Selling price per unit remains unchanged or constant at all levels of
output.
5. Volume of production is the only factor that influences cost.
6. There will be no change in the general price level
DEFINATIONS

Unit Price
 The amount of money charged to the customer for each unit of a
product or service.

Total Cost
 The sum of the fixed cost and total variable cost for any given level of
production.
(Fixed Cost + Variable Cost)
DEFINATIONS (CONT…)

Total revenue
 The product of expected unit sales and unit price.
 (Expected Unit sales*Unit Price)

Profit/Loss
 The monetary gain or loss resulting from revenues after subtracting all
associated costs.
 (total revenue-Total Costs)
MODEL FORMULATION

BEPx = break-even point in units Q = number of units


BEP$ = break-even point in dollars produced
s = price per unit (after all discounts) TR = total revenue = s×Q
= total sales
F = fixed costs
v = variable cost per unit
Break-even point TC = total costs = F + vQ
occurs when

TR = TC F
F BEP$ =
or BEPx = S
s-v s-v
sQ = F + vQ
MODEL FORMULATION (CONT…)

BEPx = break-even point Q = number of units


in units produced
BEP$ = break-even point TR = total revenue = s×Q
in dollars = total sales
s = price per unit (after F = fixed costs
all discounts) v = variable cost per unit
TC = total costs = F + vQ

Profit = TR - TC
= sQ - (F + vQ)
= sQ - F - vQ
= (s - v)Q - F
CALCULATION

Fixed costs = $10,000 Material = $.75/unit


Direct labor = $1.50/unit Selling price = $4.00 per unit

F $10,000 $10,000
BEP$ = = =
.4375
= $22,857.14
1 - (v/s) 1 - [(1.50 + .75)/(4.00)]

F $10,000
BEPx = = = 5,714
s-v 4.00 - (1.50 + .75)

EXAMPLE

For example,
Suppose that your fixed costs for producing 100,000 product were TK 30,000 per year.
Your variable costs are 2.20 TK for materials, 4.00 TK for labor, and 0.80 TK for
overhead, for a total pf 7.00 TK per unit. If you choose a selling price of 12.00 TK for
each product, then:
BEPx = F/S - V
= 30,000/12 - 7
= 6000 units.
This is the number of products that have to be sold at a selling price of 12 TK before your
business will start to makes a profit.
