Dear Mr. Hussein,

I think the question needs some more supporting, because if this question is being asked for a company which is seasonality based then i don't think recovery to any planning failure will be easy or cost based on loss effective. Secondly it also depends upon longitivity of busniess and the goals set for breakeven.
