Break Even Analysis
?

Bangalore

A calculation of the sales volume (in units) required to just cover costs. A lower sales volume would be unprofitable and a higher volume would be profitable. Break-even analysis focuses on the relationship between fixed cost, variable cost (or cost per unit), and selling price (or selling price per unit). Fixed Costs

?

Cost that do not change when production or sales levels do change, such as rent, property tax, insurance, or interest expense. The fixed costs are summarized for a specific time period (generally one month)..

16

Bangalore

Variable Cost (Per Unit Cost) Variable costs are costs directly related to production units. Typical variable costs include direct labor and direct materials. The variable cost times the number of units sold will equal the Total Variable Cost. Total Variable costs plus Fixed costs make up the total cost of production

Assumptions ? Fixed costs are constant ? Variable costs are linear ? Output can be closely estimated ? Only one product involved

Potential locations A,B and C have the cost structures shown for producing a product expected to sell at Rs.100 per unit. Find the most economical location for an expected volume of 2000 units/year . If the volume of prodn is increased which is the best location ?

X

(Quantity produced)

Total cost at location A, TCA = (FCA)+(VCA) X Q TCA = 25,000+ 50 X 2,000 25,000+1,00,000=Rs.1,25,000 Similarly, Total cost at location B, TCB = 50,000+25 X 2,000 50,000+50,000=Rs.1,00,000 Total cost at location C, TCC = 80,000+ 15 X 2,000 80,000+ 30,000=Rs.1,10,000
