49. PROJECT BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS

Break-even is a prerequisite for the implementation of all commercial projects. It is advisable to include in the financial part of the business plan break-even analysis, which demonstrates what sales volume must be so that the company can fulfill its obligations without outside help.

The most convenient form is a representation in the business plan schemes for achieving break-even in the form of a graph, which clearly shows the dependence of profit on production (sales) volumes, production (distribution) costs and product prices.

Most often, the break-even limit is determined for the volume of production. It is calculated only during the period of operation of the enterprise and is called the break-even level. The break-even level is the ratio of the break-even sales volume (that is, the volume that corresponds to zero profit and zero losses) to the projected one for a certain period of time (analysis step).

When determining this indicator, it is assumed that the total current production costs for a period of time (analysis step) can be divided into conditionally constant, independent of the volume of production, and conditionally variable, changing in direct proportion to the volume of production. The break-even level can also be determined for the price of products or, for example, for the price of the main raw material used in production.

It is possible to analyze the project according to the following indicators:

▪ break-even point (in units);

▪ break-even point (in base currency);

▪ margin of financial strength (in base currency);

▪ margin of financial strength (in percent);

▪ operating lever.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Identified the reason for the decrease in the brightness of the LEDs 08.05.2013

Researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara, in collaboration with colleagues at the Ecole Polytechnique in France, have discovered the reason why LEDs dim dramatically at high currents. This reason turned out to be the Auger recombination effect, in which excess energy is transferred to another electronic excitation.

LEDs have huge potential and could solve many energy and economic problems. Replacing conventional lamps with LEDs across the country could save hundreds of megawatts and make dozens of power stations redundant.

Unfortunately, LEDs are still too expensive for mass use, not least because when a powerful current is applied, they do not glow brighter, but rather become dimmer. Because of this phenomenon, it is impossible to create powerful lamps based on a single ultra-bright LED. As a result, you have to use arrays of LEDs, which naturally cost more and take up more space.

To discover the cause of LED fading, an international team of scientists conducted a complex experiment using a vacuum chamber and a special LED with a surface capable of reading the energy spectrum of the electrons emitted by the LED. The results obtained unambiguously showed that the reason for the decrease in the brightness of LEDs at high currents is energetic electrons, which were formed during Auger recombination. In LEDs based on nitride semiconductors, this process occurs when electrons lose energy in collisions with other electrons, and not light is released, but heat.

Now that scientists know exactly why traditional LEDs don't work at high currents, engineers can create LEDs that don't have this problem. It can be expected that in the coming years there will be LEDs that can take a lot of current and turn it into super-bright light.
