 Calculation of Break Even Point and Margin of Safety:

• Total fixed costs £39,583.53
• Contribution per unit (Selling price less variable costs) £52.97 -23.28 = 29.69
• Break even units £39,583.53/ 29.69 = 1,334
• Breakeven Point in Sales value 1,334 x £52.97 = £70,662
• Margin of safety: Budgeted output less BEP 10,000 - 1,334 =8666
• In % 8666 / 10,000 = 86.66%

Break even analysis tells that how many units of a product must be sold to cover the fixed and variable costs of production. Our company targeted fixed cost are approximately £ 39,583.53 and contribution per unit is £29.69. Therefore BEP unit will be 1,334 If we sold 1,334 units then there will be no profit and no loss. To get profit we need to sell more than BEP units.

The Margin of Safety (MOS) is the amount of sales over a company's BEP. Means the MOS is the amount of sales a company can lose before it actually starts to lose money or stops making a profit. Our company's MOS will be 86.66% as calculated above. The high MOS indicates the Soundness of Business that is the BEP is much below the actual sales so that even if there is a fall in sales, there will still be a profit.

Delish Bakers are intended to sell cakes and other bakery products. Our market place will be Briton with the annul targeted 10000 units. There are many local and popular brands who are our competitors. But our Products with services are unique in nature so those will attract the customers, one of our concept Dial – Your – Cake will attract the customers. The company’s source of funds will be debts and own fund. There are multiple possible risks like economic risk, financial risk, labour turnover, compliance risk if any but we have very much confident in our work. This will be one of the successful business in 2021.
