Deep Dive: Break-Even Analysis
Steps to Conduct an Analysis
1. **Gather Data:** Accurate fixed and variable costs from your P&L statement.
2. **Categorize Costs:** Be strict. If it scales with sales, it is variable. If not, it is fixed.
3. **Calculate Contribution Margin:** Price - Variable Cost. This is what you "keep" from each sale.
4. **Determine Threshold:** Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin.
5. **Sensitivity Analysis:** "What if costs rise 10%?" or "What if we drop price 5%?".
