How to calculate the break even of EBIT
Net income + income tax + interest expense or Add together all expenses, then - interest expense - income tax
The term 'break-even' refers to the point at which a company has no profit and no debts. They have no losses or gains.
Breakeven analysis is the relationship between cost volume and profits at various levels of activity, with emphasis being placed on the breakeven point. The breakeven point is where the business neither recieve a profit nor a loss, this is when total money recieved from sales is equal to total money spent to produce the items for sale.Uses of a breakeven analysisBreakeven analysis enables a business organization to:Measure profit and loses at different levels of production and sales.To predict the effect of changes in price of sales.To analysis the relationship between fixed cost and variable cost.To predict the effect on profitablilty if changes in cost and efficiency.Even though breakeven has these advantages or uses, there are also several demerits of break even analysis.
Its normally EBITDA and yes it is.
If a company need to raise additional money by issuing either debt,preffered stock & common stock.Which alternative will allow company to have highest EPS? This is called EBIT-EPS analysis.In this ,company will calculate EPS at various level of sales(and EBIT) by considering different alternatives. you can analys it by taking an example: if comapny need $50000 additional investment, having $10000 of EBIT & 2000 of shares.how it can raise funds either go for common stock by issuing 1000 more equity of $50 each or go for debt @4% interest or go for preferred stock at 7% dividend........ If company raise by common stock , number of shares will increase to 3000 and EPS will come 2.17,if it go for debt number of shares remains constant and EPS come at 2.60 and if company go for preffered stock EPS come at 1.43......this way at different levels of EBIT ,what is the EPS by considering different alternatives? So that, company comes to know which is the best alternative for company to fulfill additional capital requirement?
Breakeven point = Fixed cost / contribution margin ratio contribution margin ratio = sales - variable cost / sales.
breakeven point (units) = fixed costs/contribution contribution = selling price - variable costs per unit
Formula for Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
Breakeven point = Fixed cost + EBIT / contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = sales price - variable cost Contribution margin ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 or 50% Breakeven point = 215000 / .5 = 430000
EBIT means "Earnings Before Interests and Taxes"
Formula to calculate breakeven point is as follows: Break even point = Fixed cost / contribution margin Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
Breakeven point is the point where firm has no profit no loss while breakeven analysis is the process of finding out the breakeven point.
The Formula of Breakeven point (in units)= Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit
breakeven point will decrease
decrease <--------WRONG!!!!! The operating breakeven point will remain unchanged.
where all your Fixed Costs are covered. To find the number of units at which you will breakeven you divide fixed costs by the contribution per unit
total sales - breakeven= marginal of safety
