When they first start out, many small business owners underprice their products to a point where even at their maximum capacity, it would be impossible to break even. Cost controls or price increases often resolve this problem. In the United States, some of the largest concerns of small business owners are insurance costs (such as liability and health)

as many costs as possible. Once the start-up budget has been developed, it’s judicious to add 20 percent to it to cover the costs that have not yet accounted for.

calculations, the production of one chip will cost 2 $, such as the packaging. To summarize: Fixed Costs : 50 000 $ Variable Costs : 4 $ per chip + packaging Selling Price : 10 $ B : break even point - point at which sales equals total costs 10 x B = 50 000 + 4 B 6 B = 50 000 B = 50 000 / 6 B ≈ 8 333 Our break-even point is 8 333, which means that we need to sell 8 333 chips so that our costs and revenue are equal: no net loss or gain. After about two years, we will make profit. Reality
