Break Even

Break Even

This week you will continue the work you started on your new product.  This week you will identify and explain the BE (break-even point). 

  1. Using a spreadsheet software program, create a chart showing the costs of your product or service and at least three different price points you might consider selling the product. 
  2. In a separate area on the spreadsheet, explain the chart and the price points (use your own words). 
  3. Select your BE point and explain why you selected that specific BE point. 
  4. (Explanation should be a minimum of 500 words, spelling and grammar count. Use Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced. Note:  even though you are writing within the spreadsheet use APA style.)
  5. In your explanation, be sure to consider the cost of: 
    • raw materials
    • labor
    • fixed costs
    • delivery
    • advertising
  6. You may need to be creative as you come up with pricing (this is ok). 
  7. This spreadsheet will be included in your final Marketing Plan (see Week 8).

Small Business

You are applying for a business startup loan for your new venture. A bank officer tentatively agreed to loan you the $75,000 accepting a second mortgage on your home as collateral based on your business plan. Your home was appraised three years ago for $250,000 and you owe $165,000 on the first mortgage. He is now having second thoughts based on two things.

First, he has discovered that you encountered some financial difficulties that caused you to fall behind on your debts 7 years earlier. You thought that this was not supposed to remain after 6 years. You struggled back then after losing your job but finally paid everything in full years ago. For the past 6 years, you have had an excellent payment history. You have $25,000 in savings with this bank.

Second, he is concerned that your home has actually lost value since the appraisal. However, you believe that the improvements that you have recently made to the home including a new kitchen and bathroom have actually increased the value!

Part One – What are some factors you should consider when negotiating with the banker?

Part Two – What are some factors the banker should consider when negotiating with you?
