What are the principles of break even analysis?

To calculate your break even point you need to total your fixed costs and your variable costs (separately) . The equation is fixed costs ÷ (price - variable costs). Variable costs are your costs associated with production. If u produce one additional unit variable cost will increase and fixed costs will not. When you reach your break even point you have covered all if your fixed costs (for the month, for example). All units sold after break even will bring net income for the period since your fixed costs are covered.


What is the break even revenue if total fixed costs are 2160000 and variable costs are 3000000?

Breakeven revenue is the amount required to make $0 profit once total fixed and variable costs have been deducted so the answer is 2160000 + 3000000 = $5160000


When using a flexible budget a decrease in activity within the relevant range does what?

I wanted to get this answered more fully, and correctly. Decreasing variable costs per unit is just wrong. When speaking of variable vs fixed costs, it means in total. A variable cost stays the same per unit, but as volume changes, the total variable costs increase and decrease. (Unless something specifically mentions there's a change per unit.) A fixed cost is fixed in total regardless of volume. But fixed per unit increases and decreases with volume changes. In order for variable and fixed to have their proper meanings, you have to think about them as total costs. For example, if I buy a certain shirt for $7 and sell it for $15, those are variable. They stay the same per unit and I gross $8 per shirt (called contribution margin). The more I sell, the more sales revenue I have and the more variable cost I have -- two shirts will have $7x2 ($14) of variable costs etc. If my fixed costs are $100,000, that will remain fixed regardless of how many of anything I sell. An example of a fixed cost is rent. If activity decreases, total variable costs will decrease, but not per unit variable costs. Total costs also decrease, but that's not complete. And fixed per unit increases, because you don't have as much volume to spread the fixed costs over.

Average total cost is the average of all your costs. This is your Fixed Costs and your Variable costs. Average Variable Cost is the average of your costs that can fluctuate.
