A five-year expenditure profile of a company, ‘Buni Bricks and Blocks Industry Nigeria Ltd.’, was studied alongside its incomes for the same period. The objective is to determine the cost / revenue interactions on break-even charts. These charts were obtained for the five years studied. Among

for cases in which, due to the nature of the problem, it is not possible to find the break-even point. We propose two situations to deal with approximate break-even when the information regarding marginal contributions and /or total fixed costs is uncertain. A fuzzy linear programming method is applied

the investment decision. Keywords Break-even analysis, fixed costs, variable costs, break-even point.

Farmers are interested in knowing whether applying inputs at variable rates across a field is economically viable. The answer depends on the crop, the input. their prices, the cost of variable rate technology (VRT) versus uniform rate technology (URT). and the spatial and yield response variability

schedule of generators to optimize generation cost under stressed condition of a system considering consumer welfare. Here, the optimal generation dispatch problem is formulated as a non-linear constrained optimization problem where real power generation and total generation cost are to be optimized

industry. Break-even costs for a six-pound pouch is estimated to be $2.62 (44C per pound), which translates to a likely price disad-vantage relative to competing products. Food service operators expressed general satisfaction with existing potato products and will not readily switch to use of retort pouch

. This research evaluated the profitability of small-seeded, large-seeded, and high-protein specialty soybeans using break-even (BE) analysis to establish guidelines for cultivar selection and adoption based on economic feasibility. Differential costs for seed and weed control were considered in the BE analysis
