it is not always possible to predict what will happen to revenues or costs as output increases.

It is only a forecast so in reality the figures can vary greatly. the business would need to take heed to the cost of financial accounting and the rate at which the value for money can change.

It also assumes that all products produced will have completed the whole production stage and be sold. Again, in reality, many businesses would still have stock in working progress and unsold stock; thus not showing a true representation of the data.

Sometimes it can be that the costs incurred by making and selling the product can vary so many managers find that classifying them as either fixed or variable can prove problematic.

Which is more important accounting break-even point or financial break-even point?

The financial breakeven point is a more relevant measure than the accounting breakeven point because the accounting breakeven point does not consider the initial investment in the project. With any investment, one has the option to venture into it, or to take a less risky route and invest (in a bond or a stock that would give them a more guaranteed return). Thus an accounting breakeven, considers all cost, except the opportunity cost of the capital invested in project, and this is something that the financial breakeven considers. Financial breakeven point is the point where NPV is greater than or equal to zero: the point where there is economic value added® (a term trademarked by Stem-Stewart). This is because in calculating the financial breakeven, the formula includes the opportunity cost of capital: the initial investment divided by the timeannuity factor at the discount rate (where the discount rate is the opportunity cost of capital).
