Break-Even Analysis

Break-even is the point where the business neither makes profit nor loss. This means that at break-even, the business is only able to pay up its expenses, both fixed and variable cost, without any excess. The essence of break-even is to determine the number of sales that could lead to profitability. Below is the formula for break-even

Sales = total cost

Sales = fixed cost + variable cost

Sales = $ 2,780,000 + sales (0%)

Sales (1-0) = $ 2,780,000

Sales (1) = $ 2,780,000

Sales = $ 2,780,000 = $ 2,780,000

This means that there must be more than $ 2,780,000 worth of sales yearly before any profit can be recorded. The above analysis can be seen in the below graph showing the curve of sales and total cost. A different amount of sales is assumed to show the possibility of an intersection which indicates the break-even point, beyond which the company starts making a profit.
