What is the difference between accounting and economic break-even?

Accounting break-even only considers explicit costs like rent and salaries. Economic break-even includes these plus opportunity costs, which are the potential benefits lost from alternative investments.

How do I use the margin of safety tool?

Use `evaluate_margin_of_safety` by providing your current sales volume, unit selling price, contribution margin, and fixed costs. It will return how many units your sales can drop before you hit the break-even point.

What is unit contribution margin?

It is the amount of revenue remaining from a single unit sale after all variable costs associated with that unit have been subtracted.
