When does it pay off?
Fixed costs, profit per sale and break-even
The story
Wambui, 15, wants to sell fresh juice at school events. A blender costs KES 3,000. Each cup costs KES 30 to make and sells for KES 50.
The big idea
A fixed cost is paid once, whatever you sell, like the blender. A variable cost comes with every sale, like fruit and cups.
Ask at home
Pick a small business you both know, like a kiosk or salon, and guess its fixed and variable costs together.
The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
