Breakeven point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin
Contribution margin = sales price - variable cost
contribution margin = 20 - 7 = 13
Breakeven point = 173000/13 = 13307.7 units
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.
Total fixed costs / selling price - variable cost/unit Break even points (in units) = Total fixed cost/CMPU Break even points (in Rs) = Total fixed cost/CM Ratio
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable cost ) / Sales
difference between fixed and variable inputs
Variable
Variable if the psychiatrist is paid at a certain rate hourly or daily; fixed if the salary is fixed for a given period (i.e.) annually).

Calculate the fixed cost, variable costs, and break-even point for the program suggested in Appendix D.
The Break Even Position(B.E.P.) is the point at which your sales cover your variable costs(contribution) and also your fixed costs but render no profits- 0 = Sales-Variable Costs-Fixed Costs If the above equation is satisfied, then the sales value is taken as break even point. So if a reduction in variable expenses occur, the break even point will also reduce.
Total fixed costs / selling price - variable cost/unit Break even points (in units) = Total fixed cost/CMPU Break even points (in Rs) = Total fixed cost/CM Ratio
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable cost ) / Sales
it is important to separate variable and fixed costs. Another reason it is important to separate these costs is because variable costs are used to determine the contribution margin, and the contribution margin is used to determine the break-even point.
A change in variable cost affects the contribution margin ratio. A change in fixed cost affects the break-even point . An increase in these costs affect the firms profit.
Original answer: Break-even = fixed cost/ (price - variable cost)Additional: This equation gives the answer as the number of units of the product.
the break even point goes up
To work out the break even point you have to do this equation → (fixed cost)÷(selling price−variable cost). For example the fixed cost is $10000, the selling price is $17 and the variable cost is $12. So you would do → (10000)÷(17−12) which would equal $2000.
When you see TC = Total Costs on a break even chart it stands for Variable, Semi-variable and fixed costs....thus the total cost.
