BREAK EVEN POINT

BREAK EVEN POINT

The Break even point is that point at which the organisation makes no profit and no loss. At this point revenue is just sufficient to cover all costs without resulting in either a profit or a loss. If the volume of production exceeds this level (B.E.P. Level), there will be profit and if the volume of production falls below this level, there will be loss. The BEP is the indicator of the production level and so it is considered as an important tool in the hands of the management.


Advantages of Breakeven Analysis:

  • It helps the management to decide on the exact volume of goods to be manufactured.
  • It helps the management to decide on the make or buy policies.
  • It helps the management to decide on the exact selling price of goods manufactured.
  • It helps the management to take decisions regarding current as well as new production systems (Technology).

Contribution

Contribution is not the profit. It is called total margin in excess of sales over variable cost.
Contribution = Total Sales – Total Variable cost
Contribution Margin Ratio= Sales – Variable Cost/ Sales x 100.

F&B SERVICE EQUIPMENT'S – FAMILIARIZATION

F&B SERVICE EQUIPMENT'S – FAMILIARIZATION CROCKERY The crockery must blend with the rest of the items on the table and also with the general décor of the establishment An establishment uses one design and pattern on crockery, but when an establishment has a number of different food service areas it is easier from the control point of view to have a different design in each service area. While purchasing crockery the following points are to be considered: a. Every item of crockery should have a complete cover of glaze to ensure a reasonable length of life b.
