How Break even Analysis helps in solving the problems.

Break even Analysis assists solving the problems of following:

 (a) What volume of sales will be necessary to cover?

  - A reasonable return of capital in use

 - Ordinary and preference dividends

 - Reserves

(b) To calculate costs and revenues for all possible volumes of output to fix budgeted sales

(c) To get the price of an article to provide the desires profit

(d) To find out the variable cost per unit

(e) To evaluate a number of business enterprises through arranging their earnings in order of magnitude.

The Break Even Point (BEP) can be computed by using the relation as follows:

BEP = F/(1-V/P)

Here F is fixed cost and V is variable cost per unit or total variable cost and here P is the selling price of each unit.
