FIN 200 RE: Break Even Analysis A. What is the break-even point in bags? Formula: FC/P – VC $80‚000/$10-5 (0.10 x 50 lbs = $5.00) $80‚000/$5 Break-Even Point would be $16‚000 B. Calculate the profit or loss on 12‚000 bags and on 25‚000 bags 12‚000 bags 12‚000 x $10 = 120‚000 80‚000/$5 x 12‚000 = $80‚000 + $60‚000 = $140‚000 120‚000 – 140‚000 = -20‚000 loss 25‚000 bags 25‚000 x $10 = 250‚000 80‚000/$5 x 25‚000= 80‚000 + 125‚000 = 205‚000 250‚000 – 205‚000 = 45‚000

per patient per day = $300 x 0.333 = $100 Break Even Analysis for Question a To calculate the minimum number of patient-days for pediatrics to break even‚ for the year ending June 30‚ 2012‚ we know that no additional beds will be rented. We also know that patient demand is unknown and that other factors remain the same as for the year ending in June 30‚ 2011. Based on what we know so far‚ we use the pX = a + bX formula to get the break-even point‚ in which X = Minimum Number of Patient-Days

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

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
