BREAK EVEN
ANALYSIS

Breakeven - Lesson 1

Importance of Planning and
Control

• Businesses must cover costs or they

will make a loss.

• Some new businesses will aim to only

cover costs or break-even(ie not make
a loss) in the first few years - to get
established.

• Profit is the amount made after costs

are paid.

• Forecasting income and costs allows

businesses to make decisions and
plans eg – get a loan or overdraft in a
month where income is low.

COSTS

All business incur costs - and
management accountants are charged
with controlling and tracking these

For example rent is always £3,000 pa - the
landlord does not increase or decrease the
amount depending on how much is being
produced. Other examples include:

• Administration costs
• Insurance
• Rent & Rates
• Salaries
• Advertising

Hotspot

Where is the Break Even Point?

• The area to the left of BEP shows the

losses made at the appropriate levels of
sales since Total Cost is greater than the
Sales Revenue.

• The area to the right of BEP shows the

profits made at the appropriate levels of
sales since Sales Revenue is greater
than the Total Cost.

• Therefore the BE chart allows you to

calculate whether a profit or loss will be
made at any level of sales.

Interpreting the chart

• Up until break-even point the company

is making a loss

• After break-even point the company is

making a profit

Working out profit and loss

The table below gives an example of business's costs and sales:

Working out profit and loss

• Fixed costs are £800 regardless of output

• Variable costs increase as output increases

Calculating total profit

To calculate the company's total profit or loss you subtract the total costs from the sales revenue:

total profit/loss = sales revenue - total costs

When neither a profit nor loss is made the company breaks even. This company would have to sell 200 units to break even.

Calculating selling price

Selling price can be calculated by dividing the sales revenue by the output:

selling price = sales revenue/output

In the example above the sales revenue at break-even is £1200 and 200 units are sold. This would mean the selling price per unit would be £6.

Multiple Choice

Selling Price -

• sales revenue/output

• output/sales revenue

• sales revenue/profit

• profit/sales revenue
