What is a break-even
analysis?
• Breakeven Analysis- A
decision-making aid that
enables a manager to
determine whether a
particular volume of sales
will result in losses or
profits
The theory behind the breakeven
analysis
• Made up of four basic
concepts
– Fixed costs- costs that do
not change
– Variable costs- costs that
rise in propitiation to sales
– Revenue- the total income
received
– Profit- the money you have
after subtracting fixed and
variable cost from revenue
What can it be used for?
• Monthly expenses- use it
to see if your income is
more then your expenses
• Determine minimum price
product can be sold for
• Determine optimum price
product can be sold for
• Calculate effects of
marketing programs on
price
Breakeven formula
• P(X) = f + V(X)
• F = fixed costs
• V = variable costs per
unit
• X = volume of output (in
units)
• P = price per unit
This chart shows that the breakeven point is
where the income and costs are equal
Breakeven formula cont.
• If we rearrange the where the
breakeven is X then the formula
look like this.
X = F /( P – V)
• This formula says that the
breakeven point is where the
number of sales needed to
make the cost equal to the
revenue.

An example of a Breakeven Analysis Report
Example
Lets say you own a business selling
burgers
It costs $1.00 to make one burger
That’s your V or Variable cost
You sell each burger for $2.80
That’s your P or price per unit
Your cost for rent, utilities, overhead,
etc... is $100,000 per month
That's your F or fixed cost
Example cont.
V = $1.00 P = $2.80
F = $100,000
X = F /( P – V)
X = 100,000 / ( 2.80 - 1 )
X = 100,000 / ( 1.80 )
X = 55,555
To breakeven you would
need to sell 55,555 burgers
Problem
Try out this problem for your self
• You own a lemonade stand
• It costs you $0.05 to make cup of
lemonade
• You sell your lemonade for $0.25
• It cost you $50.00 to make the
stand
• How many cups of lemonade do
you have to sell to breakeven?
Solve now
Answer
X = F /( P – V)
X = 50 / ( .25 - .05 )
X = 50/ ( .20 )
X =250
You would need to sell 250
cups of lemonade to
breakeven.
Conclusion
• A Breakeven Analysis is a
simple tool to use to
determine if you have
priced your product
correctly
• A Breakeven Analysis
helps you calculate how
much you need to sell
before you begin to make
a profit. You can also see
how fixed costs, price,
