General introduction
Break even analysis describes at which level cost and
revenue are in equilibrium.
Role of break even point is of particular importance.
It is a point of zero profit.
Level of production & sale below BEP leads to incurring
losses & vice versa.
B.E Analysis provides-microscopic analysis of areas of
strength and weakness and helpful in taking decisions.

It is used for following purposes.

It helps management to know the profits generated at
various levels of sales.
While deciding volume and sales management need to know
should consider safety margin. Safety margin refers to the extent to which a firm can
afford a decline in sales before incurring losses.
Safety margin can be ascertained by foll formula;
Safety margin=(Sales-BEP) X100

During the slump-firm takes decisions regarding reduction inprice.
Reduction in price leads to?
---Reduction in contribution value. Vol of sales has to be increased to earn previous profits.
Reduction in price may or may not lead to increase in sales.
Management need to take a decision regarding increase invol of sales in order to maintain same level of profit Assuming that elasticity of demand remains constant.

If the total fixed cost of the firm is 8000rs,profit target is
20000,sale price is 8rs ,AVC is 4, the total target sales is
7000 units on basis of formula given for target profit,

When cost changes, selling price and quantity produced and
sold must undergo changes.
Change in cost can be:
-change in variable cost,-change in non-variable cost.
When the variable cost or fixed cost changes the business
executive has to plan new price or new volume of sales to
maintain same level of profits.
Changes in costs.

New sales volume = Contribution margin
Present selling price New V.cost price.
New sale price =( Present sale price + New variable cost
per unit-Present variable cost per unit).
Q:suppose cont margin of the firm is 63000, present sale
value is 10rs, the variable cost goes up from 6rs to 7rs, what
new level of sales volume or sale price?
Changes in variable cost.

New sales volume = P.sales vol+(N.F.Cost - P.F.Cost)
(P.selling price - P.variable cost)
New Sale Price = p. sale price +(N.Fixed cost - P.Fixed Cost)
Present Sale Volume
Suppose fixed cost of the firm increases from 5000 to 6000,variable cost is 5, and sale price is 10 rs find new vol of
sales or new price?
Changes in fixed cost.

BEP also helps the firm to decide whether a components
which are part of firms products should be manufactured
within the firm or should be brought from other firms.
Formula to Calculate make or Buy Decisions:
BEP = Fixed Cost
Purchase Price Variable Cost
Q:A manufacture buys a certain part for 40rs, if he decides to
manufacture himself then fixed cost is 48000 and variable
cost is 16 find BEP?
Make or Buy Decisions.

BEP is also utilized for finding effects in operating
conditions on cost ,vol and sales
Example if a firm has a capacity to produce goods worth
40crores a year with F.C of 10 crores and marginal cont of40%. And it decides to expand its business from 40-60crores
with additional Fixed cost of 6 crores,but initially firms
sales can be increased to 50 crores only analyze the
situation ?
