Many thanks Chris. I couldn't work it out how the online teacher did it as there was no explanation whatsoever provided about the making of a chart/graph. your explanation - step - by -step, has clarified it with simplicity, to the point that i subscribed to your channel and thumbs up. keep up the good work. cheers.

I'm in the planning phase of starting my own business and working through "Hurdle: The Book on Business Planning." The author, Tim Berry, mentions this Break-even analysis. I have no business background but your video has explained this process so clearly, I completely understand it. While I am still working out all of the fixed costs for my product, thanks to you, these can be changed so easily. Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial. I am now a subscriber.

Dear Chris, Your tutorial is easy to follow, thank you for sharing this video. However I would like to clarify if I am making a break-even point analysis for 3 years, would it be correct to choose average price, av.units, av.costs of 36 months? Please kindly let me know. Thank you!

@whoisdesirtv

I would think you would make a breakeven analysis for each year. I came up with this because when I’m doing projects for clients; I change the expenses and revenue per year. So, the calculations would be off if you just averaged them. But I guess it depends on what you’re using the data for in your particular use case.

I have to do 6.5 and round up to 7 for a calculation that I am doing. I also went to SBA website and their calculator did the same thing. Do you know why? I can provide my data offline. It is a private matter. Also, do you provide consulting and coaching for those not able to get MBA?

This is great and so easy to understand, but like a commenter mentioned before, I'm doing a BE on services, AT&T to be exact and only have the data for a year for 3 years. How dow I convert units to dollar and when I do not have units or a number of services how do I make a chart with that?

@ChrisMenardTraining

Your fixed expenses are normal, regular occurring expenses. So I would not include them. Now, if you are trying to figure out what the upfront cost to get your business running, then definitely include them.

Hi, is it possible to add 2 lines or arrows to point automatically on the chart the break even point?

@ChrisMenardTraining

4 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if that is possible. Obviously you can manually draw an arrow. To have it automatically do that would require more chart data.

Hi! This was very helpful! One question- is there a way to place a vertical line within this chart to call out the break even unit needed? ( I know I could insert a shape to create a vertical line but I want this vertical line to be in the exact break even point)

​ @Chris Menard I do have one question, if I may. I understand where the three per unit inputs come from (units sold, price/unit, and variable expense/unit) but do the total fixed expenses come from per month expenses, per week expenses, or am I just looking at that input incorrectly? You've put $1,600.00 combined from rent, taxes, insurance, executive salary. Obviously you're not using annual, or even monthly, projected numbers. Thank you.

@ChrisMenardTraining

4 жыл бұрын

The fixed expenses come from the time period you are trying to examine. If you want to do annually, make sure your Revenue and total variable cost is annual. If you want to do monthly, make sure your Rev and VC is monthly. Let me know if that answers your question.

Dear Friends, I want to confirm: If a company has passed the break-even point, why should we do variable costs minimums and maximum fixed costs then the profits will increase more?. Thank you.

hello sir, I'll just ask how will you know the amounts that you are going to input in the table in units to get the break even point because I have a data given by my professor and until now I'm still figuring it out, I hope that you can help me, thank you sir.

iam doing a project on cvp analysis.. how can i draw a bep chart without knowing the units sold

@ChrisMenardTraining

5 жыл бұрын

There are two things you have to know. You need to know the total fixed cost and need to know your Contribution Margin per unit, which is sale price - variable cost. Let's say Fixed cost is 6,000 and Cont Margin is 20 (30-10). Your breakeven is units is 300 (6,000 / 20). So to make the chart, I would start at 200 units and then 220 units and autofill down to 340 units. Now you can make your chart.

1. Suppose Keynes, Inc is considering buying a machine that will generate revenues of $6 million annually for two years and the $2 million in the third year. After three years the machine is worthless. If Keynes, Inc buys the machine, it must make a deposit of $ 2 million today and pay a further $11 million two years from now. Keynes, Inc has a minimum acceptable rate of return policy on investments set at 5%. a. Using an Excel function, find the breakeven interest rate. Can someone confirm if this answer is 100%?
