N2  - Financial decision-making, among uncertainties is very very difficult. Finance managers have to face such situations while predicting future data or projected data. Readers and students of management studies are required to learn this Decision Science. Knowledge of break even point is not only essential in certain under certainty risk but also under uncertain situations.

Decision-making is an art and science both. Art in the way that it is based on considerations of various inputs and is a science because it is dependent on various rules/formulas and ratios. For a student of management studies, it is an essential subject to understand for management of any corporate or organisation where there is profit planning and control/capital expenditures to be made/evaluation of investment opportunities/expenditure and capital budgeting/risk aversion needed/competitive strategies and resources allocations/stimulation techniques utilities required in financial decisions/optimal capital structure to be maintained/lease financing as against own borrowing/debenture financing and receivable management/decision in mergers acquisitions and reorganisation/replacement of assets/problems in financial decision-making/cost volume profit (break even point)/regression analysis/analysis of variance/statistical forecasting techniques/autocorrelation and decision-making under uncertainty, etc.

Knowledge of such subject and its availability at one place is a hardship to the readers and as such compelled to go search internet and other sources
