Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Break-even point in units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit. Your break-even point in units will tell you exactly how many units you need to sell to turn a profit. If you’re able to sell more units beyond this point, you’ll be making a profit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The break-even point is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal, meaning there is no loss or gain for your small business.

Detailed explanation-3: -As illustrated in the graph above, the point at which total fixed and variable costs are equal to total revenues is known as the break even point. At the break even point, a business does not make a profit or loss. Therefore, the break even point is often referred to as the “no-profit” or “no-loss point.”

Detailed explanation-4: -If your business’s revenue is below the break-even point, you have a loss. But if your revenue is above the point, you have a profit.
