...Break-even & Budgeting Report (P6) What is break-even? Reach a point in a business venture when the profits are equal to the costs. There is a business term called the Break-even point. The break-even point is the point where the total revenue exactly matches the total costs and the business does not make a profit or a loss. The break-even point for each of the prices (£30, £35, £40) that ABC Computing Ltd is selling there stands for as follows: * £30 – To break-even they will have to sell 355 units. * £35 – To break-even they will have to sell 194 units * £40 – To break-even they will have to sell 133 units The purpose of break-even is to regulate the minimum output that must be achieved in order to make a profit. It also gives you some sort of indication of the earning impact of a marketing activity. The break-even point is one of the simplest yet least used analytical tools in management. It helps to provide a dynamic view of the relationships between sales, costs, and profits. Budgetary Problems * One of the main budgetary problems within not just ABC Computing Ltd, but many other businesses as well are the variable expenses These are the bills that can change month to month; this can make it very difficult to have an actual price on the expenses. A way that ABC Computing Ltd can manage their variable expenses much more efficiently is to monitor the costs constantly. What I mean by this is to always keep track of their finances and always find ways...

...Psychiatric Genetics: September 2002 - Volume 12 - Issue 3 - pp 173-176 Brief Reports No association between the dopamine D3 receptor gene and Korean alcohol dependence Lee, Min-Seoab; Ryu, Sung-Hob Abstract The genes encoding dopamine receptor (DR) subtypes have received considerable attention for the past several years as a potential candidate that may affect susceptibility to addictive disorder, including alcoholism. The many association studies that compared the frequencies of alleles of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene between alcoholics and control groups have produced results, but some have been equivocal. Dopamine D3 receptor genes (DRD3) are in the same class as DRD2 but with different pharmacological properties. So we compared the distribution of genotypes and frequencies of Bal I polymorphism of the DRD3 gene in alcoholics and controls to assess the role of the DRD3 gene in Korean alcoholism. For this study, 67 male probands from alcoholics and 67 age-matched normal male controls were engaged. No evidence for an allelic association was found between the A1 allele of DRD3 and alcoholism in a Korean population. These results suggest that any role played by this receptor may account for only part of the variation in susceptibility to alcoholism.
