Frequently Asked Questions

What is a break-even point?

The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs (fixed + variable). Below this point you lose money, above it you make a profit. It can be expressed in units or dollars.

How do I lower my break-even point?

Reduce fixed costs (renegotiate rent, cut overhead), reduce variable costs (find cheaper suppliers), or increase your selling price. Each of these makes it easier to reach profitability.

What is a good inventory turnover ratio?

It depends on the industry. Grocery stores: 12-15 turns/year. Retail clothing: 4-6. Auto dealers: 6-8. Generally, higher turnover indicates better efficiency, but too high may mean missed sales from stockouts.

How do I improve inventory turnover?

Reduce excess stock, discontinue slow-moving items, improve demand forecasting, run promotions on stale inventory, and implement just-in-time ordering with reliable suppliers.
