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) ÷ contribution margine (C); where C = Price(p) - variable cost(V)÷ price(p).

BEQ = fixed cost (f)÷ price(p) - Average variable cost(AVC).

Solution:- BER =f÷p- AVC 

=1,00,000÷15 -5

=1,00,000÷10 

= 10, 000. 

BEQ= f/ ÷C(p- v÷p )

=1,00,000 ÷(15-5÷15)

=1,00,000÷0.666666

=1,50,000.

Total revenue = Price × quantity 

=15× 10,000

= 1,50,000.

Total cost = total fixed cost + variable cost ×quantity 

=1,00,000+5×10,000

=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 ×quantity.

Total cost = total fixed cost + Total variable ×  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 = f÷C

BEQ = f÷ p- AVC. 

Solution= BEQ= F÷P-AVC

= 60,000÷150

=400.

BER= F÷C (P-V÷P)

=60,000÷200-50÷200

= 60,000÷ 150÷200

=60,000÷0.75

=80,000.

TOTAL COST = TOTAL FIXED COST +Variable COST ×QUANTITY 

= 60,000+50×400

=60050×400

80,000.

Total revenue = Price ×quantity 

= 200×400

=80,000.

Groos domestic product (GDP )

GDP  Gross domestic product (GDP) is the total monetary or market value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period. Current GDP of India is $2.10 trillion. As a broad measure of overall domestic production, it functions as a comprehensive scorecard of a given country’s economic health. The concept of GDP was first proposed in 1937 in a report to the U.S. Congress in response to the Great Depression, conceived of and presented by an economist at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Simon Kuznets. At the time, the preeminent system of measurement was GNP. After the Bretton Woods conference in 1944, GDP was widely adopted as the standard means for measuring national economies, although ironically, the U.S. continued to use GNP as its official measure of economic welfare until 1991, after which it switched to GDP.Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of all finished goods and services made within...

The law of diminishing marginal utility  The law of diminishing marginal utility was 1st proposed by Mr. Gossen, i.e. this law is also known as gossen's first law. However, it was futher explained by professor Alfred Marshall in  his book ' principles of economics ' 1890. The law explains that  marginal utility goes on diminishing with an increase in the successive unit of a commodity consumed .  Marginal utility schedule :-  Table no.1 marginal utility  Diagram 1:- marginal utility curve  Explanation of the diagram :- In the above diagram, 'x' Axis measures MU. Various points of MU are plotted on the graph as per the given schedule. We get MU curve by joining these points. MU curve slopes downward from left to right . It shows that MU goes on diminishing with every successive increase in the consumption of a commodity.  In this case , when a consumer consumes the 5th unit,  MU becomes zero . So MU curve touches 'x' Axis. It indicates full sa...
