What you may have to do assembling a chart
Horizontal axes shows output
Vertical axes shows costs and sales revenue
In the exam you may have to fill in the axes yourself with the numbers
The first line you plot is fixed costs
the second line you plot is variable costs (starts as 0 and rises vertically)
The third line you plot is total costs (it starts on the fixed costs line and rises vertically - Should rise parallel to variable cost lines)
The fourth line that you plot is the total revenue - Starts from 0 and rises vertically
The fifth line you plot is the break even point - This is plotted from where the total revenue and total costs plots meet, and then you draw a line to the bottom of the chart.
