Frequently asked questions
What is the break-even point?
It is the sales level where total revenue equals total costs, producing neither profit nor loss.
What is contribution margin?
Contribution margin is selling price minus variable cost; each unit contributes this amount toward fixed costs and profit.
What is margin of safety?
It shows how far expected sales are above the break-even level. A negative value indicates expected sales are below break-even.
