There are many methods that help in making both short-term and strategic decisions on business management. Perhaps one of the simplest among them is the operational analysis, which is also sometimes called the break-even analysis. In the course of this process is the definition of such indicators as the amount of coverage, the threshold of profitability and certain others.

The Basis of this type of analysis-unit costs of production on the  variable and fixed. The reason for this separation is that different costs behave differently when you change the volume of sales and production. So, the value of variable costs calculated per unit of output, is constant, but the total amount is proportional to the volume of production. But the amount of fixed costs, in contrast, is always constant, but their share in the unit cost is inversely proportional to the number of products.

One of the most important indicators is a critical program. It represents that volume of production in natural expression, which allows the company to operate without loss. The profitability threshold (break-even point) is determined by multiplying the critical programs for the price of the products. In other words, the threshold of profitability – is a measure of the level of revenue at which break-even is achieved. Both indicators can be defined as by examining the graph and analytically. Let us more detail on the second method.

To define the critical program is to find the number of products that you want to produce and sell to cover the entire amount of fixed costs. Thus, it is enough to divide the sum of these fixed costs to the difference between price and variable costs per unit. You should make a reservation that we proceed from the assumption that the company sells exactly the same products and manufactures. The threshold value of revenue, as already mentioned, can be found by multiplying the result in real terms on the price.

Another indicator that requires attention, is the commercial margin. You can also meet such names as the amount of coverage or contribution for the coverage. This indicator is defined very simply, by cutting the revenue to variable cost. Accordingly, the amount of coverage needs to cover fixed costs and generate profit. Note that the commercial margin is proportional to the volume of production but per unit of its value is not changed. In this regard, often determine the share of the coverage amount in revenue. Knowing this value, we can apply another method of calculation of threshold revenue-split fixed costs the share of the coverage amount.

To determine how the company is far from loss, calculate the value of stock of financial strength. It is determined by the difference between the revenue obtained with the sale of products and the profitability threshold. This indicator can also be calculated as a percentage of revenue.

The Latest reading, which I would like to consider is operating leverage. He describes the extent of production risk, by showing how many times faster does the income of the enterprise in comparison with the change in revenues. His calculation is very simple and is in respect of business profit margin. The risk estimated with this indicator, due to the fact that the cost is constant part. This risk is greater the closer the company to the breakeven point. If you increase the revenue activity is becoming more safe from this point of view, as the proportion of fixed costs has been steadily declining.

The above calculations are made taking into account the assumption that all dependencies are linear. Of course, the real interaction is much harder, for example, the actual threshold of profitability may differ from that found, but for the basic analysis describes the methods to use can be quite calm.
