Breakeven Point Analysis
As per the question which is given in the question deals with a company which is
engaged in the manufacturing of more than one product. Breakeven Point in units can be
computed by dividing the total fixed costs which are attributable to the business divided by the
contribution margin of the business (Morano and Tajani 2013). Breakeven Point analysis shows
the no profit no loss situation which the business can attain at a certain level of sales or units.
Breakeven point analysis can be useful for the business to determine the minimum amount of
sales which the business needs to achieve for the purpose of improving the profitability of the
business. The important concepts which are to be understood from the formula of breakeven
point in units is the concept of the contribution margin and the concept of product mix and sales
mix. Product or sales mix refers to the proportion of the company’s total sales for each type of
products which is sold by the company (Palia 2014). The contribution margin relates to the total

earnings which is available to the company for meeting the fixed expenses of the business and
also the ability of the business to generate profits for a period. The computation of the breakeven
analysis in units considers fixed costs of the business as shown in the formula for the
computation of the same.
Relevance of Non-Financial Performance Measures
Non-Financial Performance Measures refers to the quantitative measures which depicts
the performance of a business which is not expressed in monetary terms and normally includes
significant ratios. The non-financial performance measures show various aspects of performance
of the business which deals with various areas of business performance (Abernethy, Bouwens
and Lent 2013). The non-financial performance measures majorly consist of significant ratios
which deals with various aspects such as profitability, liquidity, solvency and stability ratios. The
significant ratios which are computed by the business are often considered to be financial
indicators of the success of the business. In many cases, shareholders consider important results
of significant ratios for the purpose of making investment decisions. The management considers
both the financial and non-financial performances for the purpose of understanding the growth
which the business has achieved during the period (Ho, Wu and Wu 2014). This also measures
the response of the company towards social responsibility, governance and also market valuation
of the shares of the company. Therefore, from the above discussions it is clear that non-financial
performance indicators are important and are considered when measuring the o0verall
performance of a business during a year.
