  1. Breakeven chartsStep by Step

  2. Step one • Find your 4 key pieces of info • Fixed Costs • Selling Price • Variable Costs • Forecast Output • Write these on the top of your workings page. No matter how long winded the question is, you are always looking for these 4 pieces of info!

  3. Step two • Find your Break-Even Point in units and €’s using this simple formula. FC __________ = ???? units SP – VC x SP = €???? • SP-VC is called contribution per unit. Don’t let this confuse you in text books or exam questions!

  4. Step three • Find your Forecast Output both in units and € Forecast Output x SP = €€€€ • These figures will tell you have far to go on the x-axis (units) and the y-axis (€) • When plotting, you must find multiples of the breakeven point.

  5. Step four • Draw your graph! Y axis is costs and revenue €, this goes as high as your forecast sales in € X axis is output in units, this goes as far as your forecast output. • They must fit in multiples of the break even point. • Join the highest and farthest point with a broken line.

  6. Step five • Mark your breakeven point with the figures from your formula. • Its like a multiplication square. Find you BEP in € and in units. Were they meet is the BEP • Draw a dotted line from BEP to units axis. It is marked as a bullet point

  7. Step six • Draw your fixed cost line from the € axis all the way to the forecast output line.

  8. Step seven • Draw your total cost line from the fixed cost line, through the BEP and touching the forecast output line. • Draw the total revenue line from the 0,0 point, through the BEP and touching the forecast output line. • Total costs from fixed cost line

  9. Step eight • Identify margin of safety • Label and mark it. Margin of safety is the area between the BEP and the forecast output line.

  10. Step nine • Identify your profit at full capacity. • Label and mark it. Label it with the name AND figures. • To find it, you must draw a line between point of Intersection from TR line and Y axis, and from TC line and Y axis. • The middle area is the Profit at Full Capacity

  11. Step Ten • Label EVERYTHING! • Name your chart e.g. Breakeven chart for Blah blahblah LTD. • Draw your key at the tope.g BEP – Breakeven Point • Name x and y axis • Identify 0,0

  12. Let’s put these steps into practice with these figures: • Fixed costs: €200,000 • Variable Costs: €5 per unit • Selling price: €15 per unit • Forecast output: 30,000
