25. BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
Break-even point is that point of achieving, where total revenue and
total expenses are equal. It is the point of zero profit. If the sales exceed
BEP the business will earn profit and if it decreases from BEP the business
will incur loss. Thus, BEP may take, as the minimum level of production
and sales and company must attain in order to be economically viable.
