    Thank you, it "clicked" now and I understand the concept. This is taught in such a confusing way and no one is explaining that "Contribution" is essentially contributing the money you make to cover fixed costs before considering profit.

    • @tutor2u-official
      @tutor2u-official  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly! that's just what contribution is! The money you make that goes towards (contributes) covering your fixed costs.

    Contribution = SP-VC. BEP(units)=fc divide by C BEP(sales revenue) = bep(units)x SP. MOS= SU - BE. Profit = MOSxC. Profit if X =MOSxC. Profit/loss =Limit -BEPxC

    i liked the very start especially. Of course , my instinctive answer was if ur selling price is greater than your cost then yes - you make a profit. So it was a bit of a slap in the face when you came back and said NO. And then explained that the difference was actually contributing towards paying off the fixed costs and only once that is achieved can you then enjoy the profit.

    Hello, in regard to fixed costs, when it comes to calculating the breakeven point of a new product being added to an existing range of products, do I take into consideration only the new fixed costs that will arise as a result of adding the new product to the range? And should I take their annual value? Thanks

    contribution per unit also works out the same if you do contribution divided by units sold, hence why its called contribution per unit

    You do make 50 profit. It would be better explained by adding the fixed costs and then ask how much profit you get after selling the hoverboard.

    Dear Friends,
    I want to confirm:
    If a company has passed the break-even point, why should we do variable costs minimums and maximum fixed costs then the profits will increase more?. Thank you.

    @lacerav5818 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Doesn’t making a profit and covering fixed costs depend on the variable costs so although a business needs contribution if it’s variable costs are too high to the point we’re it has no money left then it won’t even reach the contribution stage
