How much transportation cost need to continue your business?

How many machine need to conduct business?

How much it will take to manufacture the product?

How much labour will going to need ?

(iv) brake even point (where no profit no loss):-

(change in profit/change in S)*100

(b) Decisions taken for alternative choices by contribution per limiting factor -

and it can also be used by those with a less technical background.

Learning Curve Theory is connected with the idea that when a new job, process or activity commences for the
first time it takes more time than future cause it is new process, employees are new to that skill & less production.but when it continue for sometimes then overall time taken became less like the following graph.
