This tells a business how much sales value can drop before the break even point is reached. This is calculated by using current output less break even output/ current output times 100.
For example item a, current output is 700 items, the break even point is 500. The formula would look like this 700-500/700 x 100 = 28.5%.
Companies can use this to compare different products, the one with the higher margin is generally favoured more, however this is only one point in the decision making.0 -
