Frequently Asked Questions
What is a break-even point?
The break-even point is the level of sales at which total revenue equals total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss. It helps businesses determine the minimum sales needed to cover all expenses.
How is the break-even point calculated?
Break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit). The result shows how many units you need to sell to cover all costs.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is the selling price per unit minus the variable cost per unit. It represents the amount each unit sold contributes to covering fixed costs and generating profit.
What are fixed costs vs variable costs?
Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production volume (rent, salaries, insurance). Variable costs change with production volume (materials, direct labor, shipping).
Why is break-even analysis important?
Break-even analysis helps businesses understand profitability thresholds, set pricing strategies, plan production volumes, and make informed financial decisions.
