    Hence, under which case one should take (BEP) by sales & under which case one should take (BEP) by unit ? As the outcomes are significantly different, I guess there must be some rationale before we select one particular formula, right ?

    • @uwish5356
      @uwish5356 3 года назад

      i saw online that CM Ratio is either
      1) CM ÷ Total Sales
      2) CM per unit ÷ Selling price per unit
      3) Change of CM ÷ Change of Sales
      hoped that helped you 🥰

    재무, 세무회계보다 원가관리를 하려는 이유는 급여, 전표, 납세는 오랫동안 해왔었고 별도로 공부하면서도 알고 있어서 다른 일 하고 싶었다. 원가는 매출원가에 직접 영향을 주고 절감해야하는 원가는 얼마이고 목표이익을 얼마나 거래처와 협의로 가져가느냐에 따라 영업이익도 좌지우지 되므로 중요한 일이라 생각한다. 중요한 일을 하고 싶어서 지원했고 종합원가계산이나 정상개별원가계산 배부법을 어떻게 더 빠르게 풀어나갈지 가치변환방식에 어떤변화를 줘야하는지도 생각하고 있다.

    There’s another way to calculate breakeven. Sales price x # units- variable costs x # of units- fix costs= 0. You just fit stuff in and solve the equation.

  • @regularbloke7410
    @regularbloke7410 5 лет назад

    you said that breakeven point covers fixed costs. how do you cover variable costs ?

    • @edwardkay288
      @edwardkay288 5 лет назад +1

      He should have clarified that this formula for break-even points is used to account for variable costs per unit.
      If he just needed to cover fixed costs ($20,000), his shop would only need to sell 4,000 subs ($5*4,000=$20,000). The problem with that logic is each sub has an additional expense attached. That is why he needed the contribution margin. Therefore, he subtracted the selling price ($5/sub) from his variable costs per sub ($3/sub) to get his $2/sub contribution margin.
      One quick double-check of the numbers is to test that his cost margin (per unit) and cost margin ratio are saying the same thing. Because 10,000 subs at $5 is equal to $50,000 in sales and his cost margin ratio was $50,000, these numbers check out.
