Assignment - Break-Even Analysis Worksheet

Description - Word doc with a brief discretion and an excel filled out.

"Kendall Lane is planning to make a unique toy that promises to keep small children entertained for hours. Kendall believes that parents everywhere will want to buy this toy. With a selling price of $25, Kendall now needs to determine the costs and the required number of toys needed to be sold before earning a profit, the break-even point.

After researching the costs to produce the toy, the following two locations with associated costs have been determined:

-The rent for the small facility will be $2,600 per month, insurance $600 per month, and other fixed costs are estimated at $1,500 per month. This facility has a capacity to produce 200 toys per month at a variable cost for each toy of $5.00.

-The rent for a larger facility will be $5,000 per month, insurance $800 per month, and other fixed costs are estimated at $2,000 per month. This facility has a capacity to produce 450 toys per month at a variable cost for each toy of $5.00.

When expenses and revenues are equal, this is known as the "break-even point" or BEP. To determine break-even, an examination of fixed and variable costs (expenses) in relationship to revenues is necessary. Understanding where the BEP is for a given product or service helps managers determine how to make modifications to increase profitability.
