Which of the following is not an assumption of Break-Even Analysis ?

  • A.Total fixed cost does not change
  • B.Total variable cost does not change
  • C.General price level does not change
  • D.Product mix does not change

Answer: B

The statement that is not an assumption is total variable cost does not change.

Break-even analysis assumes that costs can be split into fixed and variable parts, that total fixed cost stays constant over the relevant range, that variable cost per unit stays constant, so that total variable cost rises in direct proportion to output, that the selling price and general price level stay unchanged, and that the product mix is constant.

If total variable cost did not change, it would behave as a fixed cost and there would be no break-even point to find. The other three options are standard assumptions.
