Frequently Asked Questions

What is the break-even point?

It is the sales volume where Total Revenue equals Total Costs (Fixed + Variable). At this point, you are not making a profit, but you are not losing money.

Why distinguish fixed vs. variable costs?

Fixed costs (rent, salaries) do not change with production. Variable costs (materials) do. Knowing the difference is crucial for calculating contribution margin and profit.
