Break Even Analysis in Sesuki Mfg. Ltd: A Case Analysis Author: Monika Arora Abstract "What-if" or sensitivity analysis is one of the most important and valuable concepts in management science (MS). To emphasize its practical relevance in a business environment‚ we teach students in our introductory MS course to analyze "goal seek" with Excel’s built-in Goal seek. This case demonstrates the application of the goal seek tool with several examples. 1. Introduction Sesuki Mfg.‚ Ltd. is a manufacturer

Also‚ previously mentioned was that the break-even analysis received it’s named due to fact that the expected profit happens to equal to zero and the total revenue also equals the total costs (Cleverley‚ Cleverley‚ & Song‚ 2012). In order to determine a profit‚ the net income must exceed the total costs. There is no profit unless the revenue exceeds the costs. Any amount of output over the break-even point will be considered as a profit. The original net income profit

Definition of Break Even point: Break even point is the level of sales at which profit is zero. According to this definition‚ at break even point sales are equal to fixed cost plus variable cost. This concept is further explained by the the following equation: [Break even sales = fixed cost + variable cost] The break even point can be calculated using either the equation method or contribution margin method. These two methods are equivalent. Equation Method: The equation method centers on

Calculating the break-even point To avoid making a loss every business must at least break-even by achieving a level of sales that covers its total costs. But what level of sales is necessary to break-even? To explore the concept of break-even‚ we need to define some basic terms: Fixed costs: Costs that do not vary with output or sales e.g. managers salaries‚ rent and rates on business premises. Variable costs: Costs that vary with the quantity produced or sold e.g. costs of materials

and break up the monopoly of the 747‚ but it didn’t have a product to compete with Boeing’s 747. Compared to the 747‚ the A3XX provides more advantageous features which would attract passengers especially on the longer routes‚ such as more space per seat‚ four-engine plane‚ etc. The combination of increased capacity and reduced costs would provide superior economics. Airbus felt confident that capacity increases would eventually prevail. As we stated above‚ Airbus’s objectives are to break up the

prefer to use? b) Break-Even Analysis – Systems of Equations Application Problem Suppose a company produces and sells pizzas as its product. Its revenue is the money generates by selling x number of pizzas. Its cost is the cost of producing x number of pizzas. Revenue Function: R(x) = selling price per pizza(x) Cost Function: C(x) = fixed cost + cost per unit produced(x) The point of intersection on a graph of each function is called the break-even point. We can also find the break-even point using the

It would lead to the change of breakeven point. 3. When we use breakeven analysis‚ we assume that total fixed cost keep the same within the related range. But in the fact‚ the output exceed the relevant
