Fixed costs
Breakeven Volume of Sales =

Rooms sold
Desired Occupancy % =
Rooms available for sale

Fixed Costs + Desired Profits


Desired Volume =
Sale Price – Variable Cost
Breakeven Volume Example
• Sale price = $250 a night
• Fixed costs = $40,000 per month
• Variable cost = $35 per room
Fixed costs
Breakeven Volume of Sales =
(sale price – variable cost)

40,000
=
(250 - 35)

40,000
=
215

= 186 rooms
