BEP Avg or Real BEP Avg

so, after checking or calculating the Basic Avg / Current Avg/ Overall Avg / or some may be even Real Avg - what is the next step? the logical step is to compare with what is commonly called BEP Avg

And what's interesting, some may think that if their Total Avg (which is shown on Stats page in the top right graph called "Rented referrals clicks credited" as "Current average") is same as their BEP Avg- that is already enough!
some though realize that that Total Avg should be higher than their BEP Avg- and are also content with it.

However again - do all the people consider the EXPENSES costs for Recycling itself, Autopay, etc., to estimate the Real Avg? I am not so sure....


besides, that commonly known BEP Avg IMHO doesn't reflect the actual BEP or shall we say Real BEP Avg. personally I think that it is necessary to take into consideration few other things than merely those presently used. I've expressed there some my thoughts about it already (and elsewhere), but of course some people find it arguable.

and here is a good quote in this regard:

Quote:

There is not really wrong or right, because it's a a mater of different point of views, so you have to decide what to include in the calculation based on what suits you better.

(taken from here)


so, the main point is that BEP Avg provides just a glimpse at actual expenses, but doesn't reflect the whole picture. and if one pays close attention, GrTaMaster has stressed there in OP:

Quote:

Don't forget, while the break even averages can give you a base to efficient recycling, don't just rely on these. The past behavior of the referrals are also as important as their averages

I think this is a VERY good point!and in fact, personally IMHO I think that it is rather important to estimate what I'd like to call Real BEP Avg, which should take into consideration few more variables, such as those briefly outlined by Denfel in his thread almost 1 year ago.

there is also Kwah's newest BEA Calculator, but he also mentioned that it is "overall average" which includes "fixed expenses", but "do not include ... the recycling expenses"
although in his script in pop-up window with personal detailed stats it shows, here is the example:

Quote:

Minimum average (to break even) = 0.549
Gross In = $0.04000
Gross Out = $0.01098
Current profit = $0.02902
Current profit (incl 0.07 recycle) = $-0.04098
