Break-Even Analysis
- Break-Even Point: The point at which total cost equals total revenue, resulting in no profit or loss.
-
Break-Even Quantity (BEQ): The minimum number of units that must be sold to reach the break-even point.
- BEQ = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Costs Per Unit)
-
Break-Even Price (BEP): The minimum price needed to cover costs and avoid making a profit or loss.
- BEP = [(BEQ x Variable Cost) + Fixed Costs] / BEQ
Importance of Break-Even Analysis

- Cash Flow Management: Enables businesses to forecast cash flow, plan expenses, and identify potential shortfalls or surpluses.
- Growth Planning: Measures the impact of adding new products or services on the break-even point and profitability.
Break-Even Analysis Example
- A bakery sells cakes for $20 each, with fixed costs of $2,000 per month and variable costs of $5 per cake.
- BEQ: 134 cakes per month (calculated using the BEQ formula).
- BEP: $15.15 per cake (calculated using the BEP formula).
