If you are only providing one service/item with a set revenue and cost per service/item, an easy formula to use is Initial Cost+Cost per sale or service multiplied by x-revenue per sale multiplied by x=0. An example would be say it cost (making up numbers) $300 to buy a lawn mower, and costs an average of $5 for gas to mow a lawn you charge $20 for. Your formula would be 300+5x-20x=0. You can easily simplify that to 300-15x=0. If you add 15x to each side you get 300=15x, and if you divide both sides by 15, you get that x would have to equal 20 to break even, so you would need to mow 20 lawns to pay for the lawnmower. You could put multiple equations together on the left side each using a different variable combined with addition, but then you would not have a define answer, but an equation for the different possibilities of how you could break even. Also if you had an overhead, you could replace the zero on the right side with your overhead as a negative number. Then if your overhead was say per month, then your variables would become sales/services per month.

Break even point on sales of 20 per unit variable 7 and fixed annually 173000?
Breakeven point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost contribution margin = 20 - 7 = 13 Breakeven point = 173000/13 = 13307.7 units

What would the sales be if the company desires a profit of 104300 in sales and the break even point in dollar sale for Rice Company is 352000 and the company contribution margin ratio is 35 percent?
Break even sales = fixed cost + desired profit / contribution margin ratio Fixed cost = breakeven point sales * contribution margin Fixed cost = 352000 * 0.35 = 123200 Breakeven point = (123200 + 104300 ) / 0.35 Breakeven point = 332857
How do you calculate the margin of safety?
total sales - breakeven= marginal of safety
How do you do the calculation for the break even point?
Breakeven point = Fixed cost / contribution margin ratio contribution margin ratio = sales - variable cost / sales.
Calculation of break-even point?
Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost) / Sales
What is the breakeven point in terms of both units sold and sales revenue?
Breaven point is the point of sales which must be acheived to cover all the expenses and to start earning profit.
What does breakeven point mean?
Breakeven Analysis is the process of categorizing costs of production between variable and fixed components and deriving the level of output at which the sum of these costs, referred to as total costs per unit become equal to sales revenue. The analysis helps to determine the 'Breakenev Point' from this point of equality of sales revenue with total costs. At the breakeven point, the production activity neither generates a profit nor a loss. Breakeven analysis is used in production management and Management Accounting.
Break Even Sales - Formula in Cost Accounting?
Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin Contribution margin = (Sales - Variable cost) / Sales
Break even point on sales of 20 per unit variable 7 and fixed annually 173000?
Breakeven point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost contribution margin = 20 - 7 = 13 Breakeven point = 173000/13 = 13307.7 units
How does break even analysis helps in profit planning discuss and explain the terms?
Breakeven analysis helps the management to find out the point of sales which must be achieved to at least recover the amount spent on manufacturing of product and after that it also helps to find out the point from actual sales to breakeven sales before they start losing as well as to find out the required profit point as well.
