Q. 1. Amy's Boards

Break Even analysis is a technique that determines the stage at which total revenues earned by a company are equal to its total cost. At this point there is no gain or loss. Break even point can be calculated with the help of following formula

Break Even Point = (Fixed cost) / (selling price - Variable cost)

Let's assume, if it costs $100 to manufacture a chair, and there are fixed cost of $2000, than the break even point for producing (selling) the chairs would be;

If selling for $200, 20 chairs

Break Even Point = (Fixed cost) / (selling price - Variable cost)

Break even point = (FC / (SP-VC)

Break Even point = (2000 / (200 - 100)

Break Even point = 20

If selling for $400, 7 Chairs

Break Even Point = (Fixed cost) / (selling price - Variable cost

Break Even point= (FC / (SP-VC)

Break Even point= (2000/ (400-100)

Break Even point= 6.7

In the above example, if a manufactures or producer sells the chairs at a higher price, Break even point will come earlier.
