Seven calculation types from Theme 1. Get a fresh, randomised scenario each time, work out the answer yourself, then check it — with the full method shown either way, including the break-even formula Edexcel expects you to apply yourself.

Each tab links back to the chapter where that calculation is taught in full: revenue, costs, profit/loss, interest, break-even and margin of safety (all 1.3.2), and cash flow (1.3.3).
Revenue
Selling price per unit × quantity sold — see 1.3.2
£
Total costs
Fixed costs + (variable cost per unit × quantity) — see 1.3.2
£
Profit or loss
Revenue − total costs — see 1.3.2
£
Interest
Amount borrowed × interest rate — see 1.3.2
£
Break-even output
Fixed costs ÷ (selling price − variable cost per unit) — see 1.3.2. Not given in the exam — you must know this formula.
units
Margin of safety
Actual (or planned) output − break-even output — see 1.3.2
units
Cash flow: closing balance
Opening balance + (inflows − outflows) — see 1.3.3
