Q

What are the assumptions used in break-even analysis?

A

Linearity of total cost and total revenue
Constant Price
Constant variable cost per unit
Constant contribution
Constant fixed costs
All costs can be divided into fixed and variable elements
Efficiency and productivity are unchanged
The sales mix is maintained as total volume changes
