Program to find the Break Even Point

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2022

Given the list of monthly expenditure

$\sum exp$

of an organization, selling price

$S$

and the overhead maintenance

$M$

of each item, the task is to calculate the Break Even Point.
Break Even Point refers to the number of items sold in order to neutralize the total expenditure i.e. Overall, neither profit nor loss.
Examples:

Input: Expenditure = 18000, S = 600, M = 100
Output: 36
We need to sell 36 items to cover expenditure and maintenance overhead
Input: Expenditure = 3550, S = 90, M = 65
Output: 142

Approach:

Calculate the sum of all the expenditures.
Subtract the maintenance (Cost price) from the selling price.
Divide the expenditure sum by the above-obtained amount to get the minimum number of items to be sold (Break Even Point).

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find the break-even point.
 
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate Break Even Point
int breakEvenPoint(int exp, int S, int M)
{
    float earn = S - M;
 
    // Calculating number of articles to be sold
    int res = ceil(exp / earn);
 
    return res;
}
 
// Main Function
int main()
{
    int exp = 3550, S = 90, M = 65;
    cout << breakEvenPoint(exp, S, M);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to find Break Even Point
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
 
class GFG
{
// Function to calculate 
// Break Even Point
public static int breakEvenPoint(int exp1, 
                                 int S, int M)
{
    double earn = S - M; 
     
    double exp = exp1;
 
    // Calculating number of
    // articles to be sold 
    double res = Math.ceil(exp / earn); 
 
    int res1 = (int) res;
     
    return res1;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
    int exp = 3550, S = 90, M = 65; 
    System.out.println(breakEvenPoint(exp, S, M)); 
}
}

    if res != 0:
      res = math.ceil(exp / earn)
    # if profit is 0, it will never make ends meet
    else:
      res = float('inf')
         
    return res
     
# Driver Code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
         
    exp = 3550
    S = 90
