Answer:

The point at which revenue matches the combination of fixed and variable costs

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue is the total receipts from sales. Cost is the total expenditure on sales.

Break Even point is the point at which firm is at 'no loss, no profit situation'. It is earning revenues just sufficient to cover various (fixed & variable costs) of the business.

Mathematically : It is a point where Total Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost = 0. Hence implying TR = TC.

Graphically, it is the point at which TR, TC curves intersect. Before B.E.P ; TR < TC & firm incurs losses. At B.E.P ; TR = TC, no profit, no loss. After B.E.P ; TR > TC firm earns profit.
