		<description>Fixed costs don not change with a level of activity for a particular activity. e.g. rates insurance cost of machinery, overheads.
you have a coffee bar
-the price for each cupof coffee is 3-50 =selling price (SP)
-milk, coffe beans and sugare cost 50cents = varieable costs (VC)
- Fixed costs are 10000 (FC)
-How many cups of coffee do you have to sell to breakeven in the first month.
Breakeven = FC_
                            CM (contribution margin)
=                       $10000  (fixed cost) over
                           3.50 minus 50cents
=                        3.00
=                         3.00 divided into 10000 (FC)
=                         3,333 cups of coffee</description>
