How to calculate a Break- even quantity, Break - even revenue with examples .
Q1. A company has a fixed cost of rupees ₹1,00,000 and Average varible cost is rupees ₹5 per unit and company selling its product ₹15 per unit. What will be the Break- even revenue (BER) and Break-even quantity (BEQ)?
Answer:- Given:- fixed cost :-₹1,00,000.
Average variable cost :- ₹15.
Price :- ₹15.
Find :- BER and BEQ.
Formula :- BER = fixed cost (f) Ă· contribution margine (C); where C = Price(p) - variable cost(V)Ă· price(p).
BEQ = fixed cost (f)Ă· price(p) - Average variable cost(AVC).
Solution:- BER =fĂ·p- AVC
=1,00,000Ă·15 -5
=1,00,000Ă·10
= 10, 000.
BEQ= f/ Ă·C(p- vĂ·p )
=1,00,000 Ă·(15-5Ă·15)
=1,00,000Ă·0.666666
=1,50,000.
Total revenue = Price Ă— quantity
=15Ă— 10,000
= 1,50,000.
Total cost = total fixed cost + variable cost Ă—quantity
=1,00,000+5Ă—10,000
=1,00,000+50,000
=1,50,000.
[Note :- For verifying our BER is correct or not we need to find total revenue and total cost. Because BER should always be equal as Total revenue and total cost . The formula for finding total revenue and total cost are given below :-
Total revenue = Price Ă—quantity.
Total cost = total fixed cost + Total variable Ă— quantity. ]
2Q. A movie hall had seating capacity of 500 per show the tickets are price at ₹ 200 per show the Average variable cost is ₹50 and the fixed cost is ₹60,000. Find Break -even quantity and break- even revenue?
Answer:- Given :- price:- ₹200.
Average variable cost :-₹50.
Fixed cost :-₹60,000.
Find:- BER and BEQ.
Formula:- BER = fĂ·C
BEQ = fĂ· p- AVC.
Solution= BEQ= FĂ·P-AVC
= 60,000Ă·150
=400.
BER= FĂ·C (P-VĂ·P)
=60,000Ă·200-50Ă·200
= 60,000Ă· 150Ă·200
=60,000Ă·0.75
=80,000.
TOTAL COST = TOTAL FIXED COST +Variable COST Ă—QUANTITY
= 60,000+50Ă—400
=60050Ă—400
80,000.
Total revenue = Price Ă—quantity
= 200Ă—400
=80,000.
