Proofs: how to derive Accounting break-even quantity
The break even quantity is the number of units a company should sell, such that the costs of the company should be equal to it's profit.
The break even quantity formula is :
Let q be the quantity,
Total revenue = total costs,
BEQ * Price per unit = Fixed costs + variable costs per unit * BEQ
BEQ = Fixed costs/ (Price - variable Costs)
If the company doesn't sell the number of units according to the break even quantity then it will not be able to cover it's costs.
