Break-even

Break-even is calculated by use of the break-even formula which is fixed cost/selling price-variable cost. Selling price is calculated by taking total cost multiplied by 1 + markup. Pepsi marks it product up by approximately 30% above its cost. The cost to produce a 12 ounce can of soda is $.47. Selling price is equal to .47(1+.3) = .47(1.3) = $.61. Fixed costs are identified as $2250 for properties and maintenance. Break-even = 2250/(.61-.47) = 16,071. Pepsi will need to sell 16,071 units of 12-ounce soda in order to begin making a profit.
