Once that point is reached they can make their bidding more competitive to stay busy and profitable. I have found if very useful to let personnel know the break-even figures. This gives them a very clear picture of expenses and what it actually takes to run the business. Sharing break-even figures also reduces the perception that ownership is getting rich off of the employees efforts. If you do not know your break-even point ask your accountant to show you.
Some bookkeepers are able to add the break-even point to their reports.
If you think finding out the obvious is not worth the effort, just consider how many businesses have failed because they did not know their break-even point. The information compiled on this site is Copyright 1999-2001 by Attard Communications, Inc. and by the individual authors.
