What is break even?

(n.) the level of output at which all costs are equal to revenue. There is niether profit nor a loss.

We make 500 cars a day and sell them for £10,000 each. The cost of making 500 cars in one day is £500,000 so we make no profit and no loss.

Break even - what is it?

A house party where the host is constanly asking for money because he or she thinks the host should not have to throw down any money for the keg or liquor.

Example (break-even party):

Partygoer 1: "Hey man, where are the cups?"

Host: "The cups are in my room. Give me a few bucks and I'll get you one."

Partygoer 2: "You are charging for cups?"

Host: "We are using my house, I should not have to pay anything for the keg."

Partygoer 1: "Damnit I hate break-even parties."
