5. Calculation of the break – even point and margin of safety.
Break-even point (in units) = Fixed Cost / (Selling price per unit – Variable Cost per
Unit)
Total fixed costs = £60,720
Contribution per unit (Selling price less variable costs) = £52.97 -23.28 = 29.69
Break even units = £ 60,720 / 29.69 = 2,045

Breakeven point in
Sales value = 2,045 * £ 52.97 = £ 108,324
Margin of safety: Budgeted output – BEP
= 10,000 - 2,045 = 7,955
= (7,955 / 10,000) * 100 = 79.5%
6. Describe the KPIs which will be applicable in the business of milkshake.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) allude to a lot of quantifiable assessments used to
gauge an enterprise’s productivity for the long – term. It explicitly helps in deciding the
organization's monetary, non – financial and the strategic accomplishments by contrasting its
exhibition and different firms inside a similar industry (Paulet, 2018).
The KPIs of the business of milkshakes can be:
1. Customers: These will help in identifying the satisfaction of the consumer y the products
and the services which are offered by the business. It will also help in maintaining a long
term relationship with the clients to retain them for a longer period. This will enhance the
visibility of the management of enterprise in knowing better about the value of their
product in the market.

customer demand is appropriate or not. Because it affects the dominance of the business
in the competitive market and will establish an image of its item and the services
(Tairova and Niyazov, 2021). It is a strategic measure of the performance of the small
business which save their time, effort and cost in capitalising the research.
3. Prime Cost: It is the absolute of work costs such as the salary, wages and the expense of
merchandise sold. It is a fundamental key exhibition marker the business because the
milk and the ice-cream cost is the main source of the expense in this venture. It usually
runs 60% to 65% of all out deals in a full-administration of the eatery shops and 55% to
60% of the revenue for the quick services offered by the firm.
Prime Cost = Labour Cost + Cost of Goods Sold.

The expenses which are related to the labour and staff, including salaries, hourly, week by
week, and others. Presently, add the amount of your work costs and your expense of merchandise
offered to show up as a huge expense of the undertaking (Wirka, and et., al., 2021).
7. Provide recommendations based on the analysis.
It tends to be suggested from the above investigation that the budget which has been
prepared by the administration is in general great. In any case, it would more be able to zero in
on giving more weight on dealing with the innovative work cost. It can demonstrate supportive
for the business for its turn of events and development. The organization can add new flavours
such as strawberry, tutti-frutti and can also have a criticism book, which each client can fill
subsequent to utilizing their labour and products. It will be valuable for dealing with the assets
and working on the management of the firm. It will help with expanding the net profit.
CONCLUSION
From the above report, it tends to be reasoned that financing a business for the beginning is
the most impost and significant piece of speculation. The investors put their cash in risk for
getting the great returns. Prior to beginning and setting up the new pursuit, it is fundamental for
the proprietor to do a full statistical surveying and examination and afterward just fill the roles of
initiating a business. Then, at that point, a business system and financial plan ought to be ready
and give an examination on the net deals, fixed expenses, variable costs, net benefit and net
increases. The planned income likewise assumes a crucial part in deciding the net money inflows
and outpourings from different exercises. The break – even point and edge of security tell about
the benefit in the wake of selling the number of units will be accomplished. Besides, the KPIs
were talked about with respect the milk and the eatery industry. Also, the proposals dependent on
the above spending plan and assessment were given considering the market tastes and
inclinations of each client.
