🧠 Understanding Break-Even Analysis

Break-Even Point is the level of sales where total revenues equal total costs, resulting in zero profit or loss.

Break-Even Formula:

Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Selling Price - Variable Cost per Unit)

Key Concepts:

🏢 Fixed Costs: Expenses that remain constant regardless of sales volume
📦 Variable Costs: Expenses that change with each unit produced or sold
💡 Contribution Margin: Selling price minus variable cost per unit
