an operating profit
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
Formula for Breakeven point: Breakeven point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = Sales / contribution margin Contribution margin = sales - variable cost
breakeven point (units) = fixed costs/contribution contribution = selling price - variable costs per unit

breakeven point will decrease
breakeven point (units) = fixed costs/contribution contribution = selling price - variable costs per unit
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
Breakeven in financial management refers to the point at which total revenues equal total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss. It is a critical metric for businesses to determine the minimum sales volume needed to cover fixed and variable expenses. Understanding the breakeven point helps in setting sales targets and pricing strategies, as well as assessing the viability of projects or products. It is typically calculated using the formula: Breakeven Point (in units) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit).

Increase in selling price reduces the breakeven point because due to increase in price contribution margin ratio also increases.
The financial breakeven point is a more relevant measure than the accounting breakeven point because the accounting breakeven point does not consider the initial investment in the project. With any investment, one has the option to venture into it, or to take a less risky route and invest (in a bond or a stock that would give them a more guaranteed return). Thus an accounting breakeven, considers all cost, except the opportunity cost of the capital invested in project, and this is something that the financial breakeven considers. Financial breakeven point is the point where NPV is greater than or equal to zero: the point where there is economic value added® (a term trademarked by Stem-Stewart). This is because in calculating the financial breakeven, the formula includes the opportunity cost of capital: the initial investment divided by the timeannuity factor at the discount rate (where the discount rate is the opportunity cost of capital).
