Breakeven Analysis
Breakeven Analysis Defined
 Breakeven analysis examines the short run
relationship between changes in volume and
changes in total sales revenue, expenses and
net profit
 Also known as C-V-P analysis (Cost Volume
Profit Analysis)
Uses of Breakeven Analysis
 C-V-P analysis is an important tool in terms of
short-term planning and decision making
 It looks at the relationship between costs, revenue,
output levels and profit
 Short run decisions where C-V-P is used include
choice of sales mix, pricing policy etc.
Decision making and Breakeven
Analysis: Examples
 How many units must be sold to breakeven?
 How many units must be sold to achieve a target
profit?
 Should a special order be accepted?
 How will profits be affected if we introduce a
new product or service?
Key Terminology: Breakeven
Analysis
 Break even point-the point at which a company
makes neither a profit or a loss.
 Contribution per unit-the sales price minus the
variable cost per unit. It measures the contribution
made by each item of output to the fixed costs and
profit of the organisation.
Key Terminology ctd.
 Margin of safety-a measure in which the budgeted
volume of sales is compared with the volume of
sales required to break even
 Marginal Cost – cost of producing one extra unit of
output
Breakeven Formula
Fixed Costs
*Contribution per unit
*Contribution per unit = Selling Price per unit – Variable Cost per unit
Breakeven Chart
Margin of Safety
 The difference between budgeted or actual
sales and the breakeven point
 The margin of safety may be expressed in
units or revenue terms
 Shows the amount by which sales can drop
before a loss will be incurred
Example 1
Using the following data, calculate the
breakeven point and margin of safety in units:
 Selling Price = €50
 Variable Cost = €40
 Fixed Cost = €70,000
 Budgeted Sales = 7,500 units
Example 1: Solution
 Contribution = €50 - €40 = €10 per unit
 Breakeven point = €70,000/€10 = 7,000 units
 Margin of safety = 7500 – 7000 = 500 units
Target Profits
 What if a firm doesn’t just want to breakeven
– it requires a target profit
 Contribution per unit will need to cover profit
as well as fixed costs
 Required profit is treated as an addition to
Fixed Costs
Example 2
Using the following data, calculate the level of
sales required to generate a profit of €10,000:
 Selling Price = €35
 Variable Cost = €20
 Fixed Costs = €50,000
Example 2: Solution
 Contribution = €35 – €20 = €15
 Level of sales required to generate profit of
€10,000:
€50,000 + €10,000
€15
4000 units
Limitations of B/E analysis
 Costs are either fixed or variable
 Fixed and variable costs are clearly discernable over
the whole range of output
 Production = Sales
 One product/constant sales mix
 Selling price remains constant
 Efficiency remains unchanged
 Volume is the only factor affecting costs
