🧮 Part 2: Break-Even Calculations

Scenario: Sarah's Smoothie Stand has the following costs and pricing:

Fixed costs per month: $800 (rent, equipment)
Variable cost per smoothie: $3.50 (fruit, cups, electricity)
Selling price per smoothie: $8.00

5. Calculate the contribution margin per smoothie (Selling price - Variable cost per unit):

6. Using the formula: Break-even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin, calculate how many smoothies Sarah needs to sell to break even:

7. What is Sarah's total revenue at the break-even point?

8. If Sarah sells 200 smoothies in a month, will she make a profit or loss? Show your working:

9. What would happen to Sarah's break-even point if her rent increased to $1,000 per month? Explain your reasoning:

10. How might understanding break-even analysis help someone decide whether to invest in a business (like buying shares)? Connect this to your previous learning about investment risks:

11. Suggest two strategies Sarah could use to reduce her break-even point:
