Construction Procedure:
1.

Drawing the axis: The horizontal axis


represents sales units in 000 2 the vertical axis in the amount of sales costs in 000 dollar.

2.

Platting sales Units: Actual sales units are


15,000 platted actual sales dollars at that volume: 15000 X $40 = 6,00,000 Drawn the sales revenue line from point A (sales revenue) to the origin point O.

3.

Plotting fixed expense: Drawn the fixed


expense line showing $1,50,000 of fixed portion of total expense. It is horizontal line, intersecting the vertical axis at $1,50,000 point B.

4.

Plotting variable expense: Actual variable


expense are $ 4,20,000. Add this fixed expense. There by total expense being ( $1,50,000 + $4,20,000 = $570000) plotted point C for $5,70,000. Then drawn a line between this point and point B. This is total expense line.

5.

Locating BEP: The BEP line at that point where


the total expense line crosses the sales line 15,000 units or 6,00,000 where sales revenue exactly equal to total cost in 12,500 units or $5,00,000 point D.
