Introduction to Break-Even-Point
Margin of Safety
It is a management accounting tool.
In cost-volume-profit analysis an attempt is made to analyse the relationship between variation in cost with variation in volume.
The widely used technique to used cost volume profit analysis is Break Even Analysis

Cost-volume-profit analysis
Cost-volume-profit relationship is of immense utility to management, it can be used to answer question such as-
How much sales should be made to avoid losses? How much should be the sales to earn a desired profit? What will be the effect of change in prices, costs and
volume on profits? Which product or product mix is most profitable? Should we manufacture or buy some product or
component?

The Break even analysis shows the relationship between costs and profits with the sales volume.
The term “Break even analysis” is used in two senses- Broad sense- Relation between costs, volume and profit at
different levels of sales or production
Narrow sense- Refers to a technique of determining that level of operations where total revenue equal total expense, i.e., the point of no profit, no loss.

Break even point
Break even point
Point of sales volume at which total revenue is equal to total cost.
It is the point of no profit, no loss.
At this point, contribution, i.e., sales minus marginal cost, equals the fixed costs.
This point is often called as ‘Critical Point’ or ‘Equilibrium point’ or ‘Balancing point’.

Computation of the break even point
Break even point can be computed by the following two methods:
11
Algebraic Formula Method
1. Budget total or in terms of money value
2.Units of sales volume
3. As a percentage of estimated capacity
The break-even point can be computed in terms of:
12
At the point of break-even, total contribution equal the total fixed costs.
Formula-
Break-Even point = fixed cost
selling price per unit-variable cost per unit
= fixed cost
contribution per unit
13
(a) Break-Even points in units
Break-even points (in units) = fixed cost
selling price per unit- variable cost
= 20,000 = 20,000 = 2,000 units
30-20 10
Example 1
Calculate the break-even point in units: Output = 3,000
units Selling price per unit = Rs. 30 Variable cost per unit = Rs. 20 Total fixed cost = Rs. 20,000
14
At break-even point:
Total sales= Total fixed cost + Total variable cost
S= F+V
(where S= sales, F= fixed cost & V=variable cost)
Or S-V = F
Or S-V F (dividing both sides by S-V)
S-V S - V
Or F
S-V
Or Fx S (multiplying both sides by S)

Break-even point (in sales value) = fixed cost X sales
sales- variable cost
fixed cost = Rs. 20,000 (given)
sales = 3,000 x 30 = Rs. 90,000
variable cost = 3,000 x 20 = Rs. 60,000
Hence, B.E.P. (in sales value) = 20,000 x 90,000
90,000- 60,000
= 20,000 x 90,000 = Rs. 60,000

Example 2
Calculate the break-even point in Sales Value: Output = 3,000 units Selling price per unit = Rs. 30 Variable cost per unit = Rs. 20 Total fixed cost = Rs. 20,000

From the following data, calculate:
(a) P/V ratio
(b) Break-even sales with the help of P/V ratio
(c) Sales required to earn a profit of Rs. 4,50,000
Fixed expenses = Rs. 90,000 Variable cost per unit:
Direct material = Rs. 5 Direct labor = Rs. 2 Direct overhead = 100% of direct labour Selling price per unit = Rs. 12
Example 3:

Selling price per unit = 12 Rs 12 Less:
Direct material Rs. 5 Direct labor Rs. 2 Direct overhead Rs. 2

COMPOSITE B-E POINT
We can also calculate the composite break-even point for a firm producing several products, as below:
Composite Break-Even Point (in Sales value) = Total Fixed Cost Composite P/V Ratio
And, Composite P/V Ratio = Total Contribution x 100 Total Sales

GRAPHIC METHOD
The break-even point can also be computed graphically with the help of Break-Even Charts.
A break-even chart is a graphical representation of marginal costing.
The break-even chart portrays a pictorial view of the relationship between costs, volume and profits.
It shows the break-even point and also indicates the estimated profit or loss at various levels of output.
The break-even point is the point (in the chart) at which the total cost line and the total sales line intersect.

SOLUTION
FIRST METHOD:
Under this method following steps are taken to draw the break-even chart :
1. Volume of production/output or sales is plotted on horizontal axis i.e., X-axis. The volume of sales or production may be expressed in terms of rupees, units as a percentage of capacity.
2. Costs and sales revenue are represented on vertical axis, i.e. Y-axis.
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
3. Fixed cost line is drawn parallel to X-axis. The line indicates that fixed expenses remain constant at all levels of activity.
4. Sales values at various levels of output are plotted and a line is drawn joining these plotted points. This line is called the sales (revenue) line.
5. The point of intersection of total cost line and sales (revenue) line is called the break-even point.

6. The number of units to be produced at break-even point can be determined by drawing a perpendicular to the X-axis from the point of intersection of cost and sales line.
7. The sales revenue at break-even point can be determined by drawing a perpendicular to the X-axis from the point of intersection of cost and sales line.
8. The area below the break-even point represents the loss area as the total sales is less than the total cost and the area above the break-even point indicates the area of profit as the sales revenue exceeds the total cost.
FMS-BHU
GRAPHIC METHOD
SECOND METHOD:
The break-even chart can also be drawn by another method which is a variation of the first method.
Under this method, the variable cost line is drawn first and then total cost line is drawn over and parallel to the variable cost line

This method is useful to the management for decision making because it reveals additional information:
(a) The variable costs are shown directly for various levels of output/sales.
(b) Marginal contribution at various levels of sales is indicated clearly by the difference between sales line and variable cost line.
(c) It indicates the recovery of fixed costs at various levels of production.
FMS-BHU
CONTRIBUTION B-E CHART
THIRD METHOD:
This is a modified form of a simple break-even chart as shown in the first two methods.
Under this method, total cost line is not drawn, rather another line called contribution line is drawn from the origin and this line goes up with the increase in the level of output.
The fixed cost line is drawn parallel to the X-axis as in the first method. The sales line is also drawn as usual.

In this method, the question of intersection of sales line with the total cost line does not arise because there is no cost line.
The break even point is that point where the contribution line crosses the fixed cost line. At this point, total contribution is equal to the total fixed cost and hence there is no profit or loss.
As the contribution increases more than the fixed cost, profit shall arise to the organisation and as contribution decreases from the fixed cost, there shall be loss to the organisation.
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
The contribution break-even chart shows clearly the contribution at different levels of activity and indicates that all levels below the break-even point are unable to cover the fixed costs.
Note : In the above example, at level of output/sales of 25,000 units, there is a profit of Rs. 50,000 as indicated by break-even charts under the three methods.
FMS-BHU
MARGIN OF SAFETY
The excess of actual or budgeted sales over the break-even is known as margin of safety.
It is the difference between actual sales minus the sales at break-even point.
It represents the amount by which sales revenue can fall before a loss is incurred
As at break-even point there is no profit no loss, sales beyond the break-even point represent margin of safety because any sales above the break-even point will give some profit.
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
Margin of Safety = Total Sales – Sales at Break-Even Point
Margin of Safety Ratio = Margin of safety x 100 Sales = Actual Sales – Sales at B.E.P. x 100 Sales
Margin of Safety calculated in % terms is known as Margin of safety Ratio and can be expressed as:
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
Margin of safety can also be calculated with the help of the following formula :
This is so because margin of safety is the volume of sales beyond break-even point and all sales above the break-even point give some profit which can be calculated as :
Margin of Safety (M.S.) = Profit P/V Ratio
Profit = Margin of Safety x P/V Ratio
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
The size of margin of safety is an important indicator of the strength of a business.
The large margin of safety indicates that the business is sound and even if there is a substantial fall in sales, there will still be some profit.
On the other hand, small margin of safety indicates that position of the business is comparatively weak and even a small decline in sales would adversely affect the profit of the business and may result into losses.
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
The margin of safety can be improved by taking the following steps :
a) By increasing the level of production.b) By increasing the selling price.c) By reducing the fixed costs.d) By reducing the variable cost.e) By substituting unprofitable products with profitable f) products.g) By increasing contribution by changing the sales mix.
FMS-BHU
ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
The angle of incidence is the angle between the sales line and the total cost line formed at the break-even point where the sales line and the total cost line intersect each other.
The angle of incidence indicates the profit earning capacity of a business.
A large angle of incidence indicates a high rate of profit and, on the other hand, a small angle of incidence indicates a low rate of profit.
FMS-BHU
CONTD..
Usually, the angle of incidence and margin of safety are considered together to indicate the soundness of a business.
A large angle of incidence with a high margin of safety indicates the most favourable position of a business.

FMS-BHU
Curvilinear B-E Analysis
The marginal costing approach is based upon the basic assumption that selling price and variable cost per unit will remain constant at all levels of activity or in other words the cost-volume-profit relationship is linear.
However, in actual practice, the selling prices do not remain the same forever and for all levels of output due to competition and changes in general price level etc.
FMS-BHU
Contd..
Further, it may not be possible to increase the sales volume without offering concessions in price to the customers.
In the same manner, variable cost per unit may also increase with the increase in level of production due to operating inefficiencies and the law of diminishing returns.
Thus, profit can be increased only upto a certain point and then it will decrease until it is converted into a loss.
FMS-BHU
Contd..
The break-even chart will then become curvilinear instead of linear.
It might show more than one break-even point, one at a lower level of output and another at a higher level of output.
In such a case, increasing output/sales volume beyond the first break-even point will increase profit but increase in volume beyond the second break-even point will result in loss.
FMS-BHU
Contd..
The optimum level of output shall be reached at the point where difference between the total revenue and the total cost is the highest.

Interpretation of CVP Graphs
Like the algebraic break-even applications, the CVP graph can be used to analyse the cost-volume-profit planning.
CVP graphs can also be used to interpret the following: Distribution of various costs and taxes. Change in fixed costs Change in variable costs Change in selling price, and so on.

The following example illustrates the interpretation of Break-even chart (CVP graph).
The data of ABC Ltd. is given below:
Selling price per unit: Rs. 10
Fixed Costs: Rs. 60,000
Variable costs per unit: Rs. 5
Relevant Range (units): lower limit 6,000

Break up of variable costs per unit:

FMS-BHU
CVP Graph, cost-wise
Lets calculate the various costs and selling price for 20000 units.
Selling price per unit = Rs. 10selling price for 20000 units = Rs. 200,000
Variable cost per unit = Rs. 5variable cost for 20000 units = Rs. 100,000direct material cost @ Rs. 2 = 40,000direct labour @ Rs. 1.50 = 30,000direct expenses @ Rs. 1 = 20,000selling expenses @ Rs. 0.50 = 10,000
FMS-BHU
Contd..
Fixed cost = Rs. 60,000 So, Total cost for 20,000 units
= Variable cost + Fixed cost= 100,000 + 60,000= 160, 000
The graph shows the various costs separately.
Break even point = Rs. 120,000 for 20,000 units.
Taxes = 50% of total income = 20,000
Net Income (profit) = Rs. 20,000 Margin of Safety = 200,000 – 120,000 = 80,000

Many manufacturers make more than one kinds of products.
The relative proportion of each product sold in the aggregate sales is known as the sales mix.
A change in the mix of products sold affects the Break even point.
So the optimal strategy of the manufacturer is to chose the mix of products in a way so as to lower down the total costs and hence BEP.
