Since the list seems to have gone a bit quiet in the last 24 hours, I
thought I'd just start another thread :-) Has anyone got any useful
ideas on how to teach break-even analysis? I thought I'd just throw in a
few ideas, and see if there are any others.
A resource I found recently which is just a demo for a model building
product, but which gives an excellent visual representaion of
break-even is on:
http://www.multiverse.co.uk/gallery/index.html
Scroll down the page a little and there are a couple of different
versions - a good way of visually showing how the break-even level of
output changes.
Also there's the Biz/ed Virtual Learning Arcade break-even simulation:

Also - I don't know if it's any help, but do list members know about
using Google to find particular types of files? You can set a Google
search to find just Excel files, or just Word files, or just PowerPoint
presentations. Try:
* www.google.co.uk
* Click on the advanced search link to the right of the search box
* Put in 'Break-even analysis' in the exact phrase match box
* Set the file format (just below 'language') to return only files of
type Microsoft Excel
* Click search
Might be worth also doing the same for the phrase 'Breakeven analysis'
(without the hyphen).
Anyway - any other ideas?
