PRACTICE QUESTIONS ON BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS 1. A small firm intends to increase the capacity of a bottleneck operation by adding a new machine. Two alternatives‚ A and B‚ have been identified and the associated costs and revenues have been estimated. Annual fixed costs would be $40‚000 for A and $30‚000 for B; variable costs per unit would be $10 for A and $12 for B; and revenue per unit would be $15 for A and $16 for B. a) Determine each alternative’s break-even point in units. b) At what volume of

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?

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

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
