13. Breakeven Analysis
• Total Sales Revenue = Total Expenses (Fixed Costs
+ Variable Costs)
• Breakeven Point = Fixed Costs/(Unit Selling Price -
Variable Costs)
• or range of Fixed costs: Costs that must be paid whether
or not any units are produced. For example, rent and
insurance
• Variable costs: Costs that vary directly with the number
of products produced. For example, labor and material.
• Setting a price: Price you would charge customer
14. Example
• Example: Toy Store
• Fixed cost: Rent $1,000 and Insurance $ 500
• Variable Costs: Unit cost $5
• Price: $10 per unit
• Breakeven Point: Assume Y unit will be the breakeven
point
• Y$10 = $1500+5Y
• 5Y=$1500
• Y=300 Units
• Checking: 300x10=$1500+(300x5)
• $3000 = $3000
• Formula: 1500/(10-5) = 300 units
15. If you can’t breakeven
• find a less expensive source of supplies
• do without an employee
• save rent by working out of your home, or
• sell your product or service at a higher
price.
