15 www.tutor2u.net Session 2 Crunching the Numbers

16 What You Need to Calculate Revenues (sales) Costs – fixed and variable Profit Contribution & Break-even Cash flow forecasts Market share, size & growth (later)

17 Classifying Costs Variable costs – Costs which change as output varies – Lower risk for a start-up: no sales = no variable costs Fixed costs – Costs which do not change when output varies – Fixed costs increase the risk of a start-up

20 Calculating Profit or Loss PROFIT = TOTAL SALES less TOTAL COSTS

21 An Example SalesCostsProfit or Loss? £100,000£75,000£25,000 (profit) £100,000£125,000£25,000 (loss) Total sales > total costs Total costs > total sales Total sales = total costs = Profit = Loss = Break-even

22 Your Turn!

24 Contribution Contribution looks at the profit made on individual products It is used in calculating how many items need to be sold to cover all the business' total costs (variable + fixed) Contribution is the difference between sales and variable costs

25 Contribution - Formulas Contribution = total sales less total variable costs Contribution per unit = selling price per unit less variable costs per unit Total contribution can also be calculated as: Contribution per unit x number of units sold Profit = Contribution less Fixed Costs
