Break-even point= 3,363 cups of coffee

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The average selling price of a cup of coffee is $1.49

The average variable expense per cup is $0.36.

The average fixed expense per month is $1,300.

Desired profit of $2,500 per month.

We need to use the break-even point formula including the desired profit:

Break-even point= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin

Break-even point= (1,300 + 2,500) / (1.49 - 0.36)

Break-even point= 3,800/ 1.13

Break-even point= 3,363 cups of coffee

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
