Break-even

Break-even (or break even) is the point of balance making neither a profit nor a loss. The term originates in finance, but the concept has been applied widely since.

In economics

In economics and business, specifically cost accounting, the break-even point (BEP) is the point at which cost or expenses and revenue are equal: there is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even." A profit or a loss has not been made, although opportunity costs have been "paid," and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return. It is shown graphically as the point where the total revenue and total cost curves meet. In the linear case the break-even point is equal to the fixed costs divided by the contribution margin per unit.

The break-even point is achieved when the generated profits match the total costs accumulated till the date of profit generation. Establishing the break-even point helps businesses in setting plans for the levels of production which it needs to maintain be profitable.

Break-even (disambiguation)

Break-even (or break even) usually refers to:

  • Break-even, a point where any difference between plus or minus or equivalent changes
  • Break-even (economics)
  • "Breakeven" (song), the 2008 single by The Script

    The break-even point (BEP) in economics, business, and specifically cost accounting, is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal: there is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even." A profit or a loss has not been made, although opportunity costs have been "paid", and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return. In short, all costs that needs to be paid are paid by the firm but the profit is equal to 0.

    Overview

    The break-even level or break-even point (BEP) represents the sales amount—in either unit or revenue terms—that is required to cover total costs (both fixed and variable). Total profit at the break-even point is zero. Break-even is only possible if a firm’s prices are higher than its variable costs per unit. If so, then each unit of the product sold will generate some “contribution” toward covering fixed costs.

    For example, if a business sells fewer than 200 tables each month, it will make a loss; if it sells more, it will make a profit. With this information, the business managers will then need to see if they expect to be able to make and sell 200 tables per month.

    Mecca

    Mecca (/ˈmɛkə/) or Makkah (Arabic: مكة Makkah) is a city in the Hejaz in Saudi Arabia. It is the capital of that kingdom's Makkah Region. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was roughly 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during the hajj ("pilgrimage") period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.

    As the birthplace of Muhammad and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran (specifically, a cave 3 km (2 mi) from Mecca), Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer. Mecca was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, acting either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger polities. It was conquered by Ibn Saud in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure, home to structures such as the Abraj Al Bait, also known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel, the world's third tallest building and the building with the largest amount of floor area. During this expansion, Mecca has lost some historical structures and archaeological sites, such as the Ajyad Fortress. Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan and diverse cities in the Muslim world, despite the fact that non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the city.

    Who Knew

    by: Break Even

    It's just one storm after another
    I'm being blown in the wrong direction
    Making my live like all the rest
    Another face like just the rest
    So one by one we all follow
    One by one we all walk the same line
    Were in time we forget what it's like to feel alive
    Falling asleep. getting older, waking up
    A little bit closer
    To a line where we forget.
    Where we all forget
    Who knew my life would be
    Would be just like this
    I'm growing older and just starting
    Starting to forget
    These days just fly right by
    With me spending all my time
    With my head in my hands
    Knowing soon I'll step
    Into line there's no looking back
    All these moments turn to memories
    That will slowly fade and die
    Fade and die just like life
    Falling asleep, getting older, waking up
    A little bit closer
    To a line where we forget
    Where we all forget
    Who knew my life would be
    Would be like this
    I'm growing older and just starting
    Starting to forget
    I'm starting to forget
    If I only knew then
    What I know now
    If I only could have stayed there somehow
    If i only knew then
    What I know now
    If only I could have stayed young somehow
    As much as I wanted to stay young
    I know this life has to move on
    Move on
    Who knew this life would be
    Would be this hard
    I'm growing up but I'll always be
    Who knew this life would be
    Would be so hard
    I'm growing up but I'll always be
