10 July 2012 The formula for Break Even Point is Fixed Cost/ P/V Ratio.

Suppose P/V Ratio is 50%. Fixed Cost is Rs. 5000. then BEP will be 5000/.5 = Rs. 10000.
That means you have to effect sales of Rs. 10000 to reach a point of no profit or no loss.

Another situation is suppose Fixed Cost has increased and it is now Rs. 6000. Then your BEP will be 6000/.5= Rs 12000.

This means that increase in fixed cost increases our point of no profit no loss in a business.
