BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS
Fixed cost will include payroll, expenses, rent, company vehicle, and company cell phones these cost will all be accounted for as a monthly average in the first year.
Variable cost are inventory items that are used to produce different variations of different brews that will most likely be short releases to determine the success or failure of the product.
Cost bid pricing is used to determine how much it will cost to develop the type of beer and determine what the price of the beer will be to sell in a couple different sizes.
Price bid pricing is comparing local competitors prices to what P&P should set their own prices to be and what consumers will pay.
The break even analysis is as followed: breakeven point = fixed cost / (unit selling price – variable cost)
BE=FC/Per unit price-VC per unit
