Credit Unit 3 presents tools for financial management, including mark-up and margin analysis, breakeven analysis, working capital and cash reserves.

Once you understand breakeven analysis, you will realize it is a simple but very useful tool that can be used in several different ways. For instance you can calculate a breakeven point in dollars which can be helpful in pricing decisions, or you can calculate a breakeven in units for an indication of needed productions.
