refers to the price that will produce enough revenue to cover all cost at a given level of production. at the break-even point, there is neither profit nor loss.
FIXED COST
expenses that remain constant regardless of the level of production or sales volume.
VARIABLE COST
expenses that change proportionately with the level of production or sales volume
Break-Even Equation
pn=Vn+FC
p=price
n=number of unit sold
V=variable cost per unit
FC=fixed cost
CACULATING BREAK-EVEN PRICE
p=(Vn+FC)/n
CALCULATING BREAK EVEN QUANTITY
n=FC/(p-V)
PROFIT ORIENTATION
is a pricing strategy or approach wherein the primary focus is an maximizing profits for the business.
CUSTOMER-ORIENTED PRICING APPROACH
allows you to treat the break-even data as one input to your pricing, but it goes beyond that to bring your customers' perceptions and the full value of your product into the pricing evaluation.
