Detailed explanation-1: -To calculate the break-even point in units use the formula: Break-Even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) or in sales dollars using the formula: Break-Even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin.
Detailed explanation-2: -To calculate your break-even (dollar value) before net profit: Break-even ($) = overhead expenses ÷ (1 − (COGS ÷ total sales))
Detailed explanation-3: -Your break-even point is equal to your fixed costs, divided by your average selling price, minus variable costs. It is the point at which revenue is equal to costs and anything beyond that makes the business profitable.
Detailed explanation-4: -Break-even sales units are the number of units that must be sold to reach the break-even point. Using the break-even point equation, Px = Vx + FC, you can solve for X to determine the number of units that need to be sold to break even.
Detailed explanation-5: -In corporate accounting, the breakeven point (BEP) formula is determined by dividing the total fixed costs associated with production by the revenue per individual unit minus the variable costs per unit. In this case, fixed costs refer to those that do not change depending upon the number of units sold.
