Using the 2009 Budget (Money is given in Canadian dollars), prepare a break even analysis to find:

1. At what trip fee does JUDES break even on the trips?

2. At what participant level does JUDES break even on the trips?

Please show all formulas and calculations so I can follow along and learn how to apply the concepts for the future.

Expert Solution

The Breakeven Formula: How to Do a Breakeven Analysis

This is fairly simple. To conduct your breakeven analysis, take your fixed costs divided by your price minus your variable costs. As an equation, this is defined as:

Breakeven Point = Fixed Costs/(Unit Selling Price - Variable Costs)

This calculation will clearly show you how many units of a product you must sell in order to break even. You've recovered all costs associated with producing your product, both variable and fixed, when you've reached this point.

Every additional unit sold after this increases profit by the amount of the unit contribution margin, which is defined as the amount each unit contributes to covering fixed costs and increasing profits. This is defined as an equation as:

Unit Contribution Margin = Sales Price - Variable Costs

Sales information is not given and please provide us sales information so that we can solve the answer.

Break-even Analysis : Break-even analysis attempts to determine the volume of sales necessary for a manufacturer to cover costs, or to make revenue equal costs. It is helpful in setting prices, estimating profit or loss potentials, and determining the discretionary costs that should be incurred. The general formula for calculating break-even units is: Break-even Units = ( Total fixed costs ) / ( Unit selling price - Unit variable cost ) In StratSim, total fixed costs can be broken into...
