Break-even
Break-even is calculated by use of the break-even formula which is fixed cost/selling price-variable cost. Selling price is calculated by taking total cost multiplied by 1 + markup. Pepsi marks it product up by approximately 30% above its cost. The cost to produce a 12 ounce can of soda is $.47. Selling price is equal to .47(1+.3) = .47(1.3) = $.61. Fixed costs are identified as $2250 for properties and maintenance. Break-even = 2250/(.61-.47) = 16,071. Pepsi will need to sell 16,071 units of 12-ounce soda in order to begin making a profit.
Financial Forecast
According to NASDAQ, Pepsi is projecting quarterly growth of approximately 1.5% through September, 2018 (NASDAQ, 2017) with forecasted earnings growth of 6.32% as of December, 2017 and peaking at 9.41% December, 2019 with an average earnings growth of 7.37%. As of December, 2016 Pepsi reported revenues of $62.8 billion and using a partial pro-forma formula its revenue projections using the average earnings growth percentage of 7.37% is 62.8*(1+.0737) = 67.43 or $67.43 billion.
