Apart from marginal cost equations, it is found that breakeven chart and profit graphs are useful graphic presentations of this cost-volume-profit relationship.
Breakeven chart is a device which shows the relationship between sales volume, marginal costs and fixed costs, and profit or loss at different levels of activity. Such a chart also shows the effect of change of one factor on other factors and exhibits the rate of profit and margin of safety at different levels. A breakeven chart contains, inter alia, total sales line, total cost line and the point of intersection called breakeven point. It is popularly called breakeven chart because it shows clearly breakeven point (a point where there is no profit or no loss).
Profit graph is a development of simple breakeven chart and shows clearly profit at different volumes of sales.
