Final answer:
Fixed costs for an app managing lifestyle may include rent, web hosting, machinery, and salaries, while variable costs could cover marketing, production, and distribution. The break-even point is calculated by dividing fixed costs by the difference between sale price and variable cost per unit. Without particular figures, we cannot provide an exact break-even point or MVP development cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
When creating an app to help people manage their lifestyle, you will encounter both fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs, which do not change with the level of production, may include rent for office space, web hosting fees, machinery or computer equipment, and employee salaries. In contrast, variable costs fluctuate with production levels and may involve marketing expenses, production costs, distribution fees, and sales commissions. The initial development cost of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) would be the sum of all these fixed and variable costs up to the launch.
To calculate the break-even point, you need to determine the price at which your app will be sold or the revenue generated from users, and then find the point where total revenue equals total costs (both fixed and variable). This is achieved by dividing the total fixed costs by the difference between the unit selling price and variable cost per unit. However, without specific cost and price data, we cannot calculate an exact break-even point for the MVP.
