Key terms from last lesson!
• Firms spend money making their products. These are called costs.
• Variable costs = Change depending on output.
• Fixed costs = remain the same no matter how much is produced.
• Total Costs = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs.
• Firms get money from selling their products. This is called sales revenue.
• Total Revenue = Price Per Unit x Sales.

Introduction to Break Even
“A business breaks even if it doesn’t make a profit or a loss”
It is the point at which the business makes just enough revenue to cover their costs.
In other words PROFIT = 0
Businesses must make a profit to survive.
![Page 7: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Introduction to Break Even
• To make a profit, revenue must be higher than costs.
• It is where Costs = Revenue within a business.
• New businesses should always conduct a break-even analysis to find the break-even point. This tells them how much they need to sell to break even.
![Page 8: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Numeracy Task
Rounding Numbers
Round 23745 to the nearest thousand.
First, look at the digit in the thousands place. It is 3. This means the number lies between 23000 and 24000. Look at the digit to the right of the 3. It is 7. That means 23745 is closer to 24000 than 23000.
Remember
The rule is, if the next digit is: 5 or more, we 'round up'. 4 or less, it stays as it is.
23745 to the nearest thousand = 24000.
23745 to the nearest hundred = 23700.

Numeracy Task
Rounding & Estimating
Now you have a go…
1)What is 23745 rounded to the nearest ten?2)A company made profit last year of £7,821. What is this figure to the nearest £10?3)A theme park had 9,462 visitors last year. Round this figure to the nearest 10 visitors.4)The distance from London to Glasgow is 418 miles. Round this to the nearest 10 miles.

Learning ObjectivesBy the end of the lesson, you should be able to…
To calculate break even using the correct formulae (Gui-Reg)
![Page 19: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Where is the Break-even Point (BEP)?
![Page 20: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Calculating Break-Even Point (BEP)
• There are two ways to calculate the break-even point (BEP):
– USING A FORMULA (CONTRIBUTION METHOD)
– PRODUCING A BREAK EVEN CHART.
BREAK-EVEN POINT (BEP)= the point at
which revenue equals expenditure!
![Page 21: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
CONTRIBUTION METHOD (FORMULA)
This involves a two part calculation:
• Selling Price per unit – Variable Cost Per Unit = Contribution (Towards Fixed Costs).
AND• Fixed Costs / Contribution = Break-even Point.
![Page 22: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AN EXAMPLE
If Fixed Costs = £2000, Variable Costs = £8 Per Unit, Selling Price Per Unit =£10. Then Break-even would be:
Price Per Unit – Variable Cost Per Unit = Contribution (Towards Fixed Costs).£10 - £8 = £2 (Contribution Towards Fixed Costs)
Fixed Costs / Contribution = Break-even Point.£2000 / 2 = 1000
1000 products will need to be sold in order to break-even and cover all their costs.
![Page 23: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TASK 1
• Harry sets up a business to print T-shirts. The fixed costs of premises and the T-shirt printers are £3000. The variable costs per T-shirt (the T-shirt, ink, wages) are £5. Each printed T-shirt sells for £25.
NOW YOU TRY!
![Page 24: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ANSWER
Harry sets up a business to print T-shirts. The fixed costs of premises and the T-shirt printers are £3000. The variable costs per T-shirt (the T-shirt, ink, wages) are £5. Each printed T-shirt sells for £25.
Price Per Unit – Variable Cost Per Unit = Contribution (Towards Fixed Costs).£25 - £5 = £20 (Contribution Towards Fixed Costs)
Fixed Costs / Contribution = Break-even Point.£3000 / 20 = 150
150 T-shirts will need to be sold in order to break-even and cover all their costs.
![Page 25: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LET’S TRY AGAIN!
• A business making and selling Hoovers has the following costs:
Fixed Costs £50,000 per year
Variable Costs £3.70 per t-shirt
Selling Price £12 each
Calculate the break-even point?
![Page 26: LESSON 6. Topics Covered Business Costs Revenue Profit Expenditure Break Even Analysis Budgeting Cash Flow Forecast Profit & Loss Balance Sheet Maximising](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649db25503460f94aa18ba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ANSWER…
Price Per Unit – Variable Cost Per Unit = Contribution (Towards Fixed Costs).£12 - £3.70 = £8.30 (Contribution Towards Fixed Costs)
Fixed Costs / Contribution = Break-even Point.£50,000 / 8.30 = 6,024
6,024 Hoovers will need to be sold in order to break-even and cover all their costs.

CALUCULATING BREAK-EVEN POINT USING GRAPH
Break-even graphs show costs and revenue plotted against outputOutput goes on the horizontal axis (starting from 0)Costs and revenue both go on the vertical axis
STEP 1: draw you axis, label ‘y’ axis ‘costs/revenue’ & label ‘x’ axis with ‘No of units sold’
STEP 2: Draw your fixed costs line
STEP 3: Add your total costs line (calculate the total costs for two points on graph & draw best-fit line)

The Limitations of Break-even
It assumes that the firm can sell any quantity of the product at the current price. In practice the firm may need to reduce prices to sell at high levels of output.
It assumes fixed costs never change - but as output increases the firm may need to buy more machines, get bigger premises, take on extra sales and administration staff.
It assumes that all products are sold. This doesn’t always happen; some products may only be sold at
lower prices or need to be thrown away.
