Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The break-even point (BEP) in economics, business-and specifically cost accounting-is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal, i.e. “even". There is no net loss or gain, and one has “broken even", though opportunity costs have been paid and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return.

Detailed explanation-2: -The breakeven point is that point where total revenue equals total costs or expenses. The point represents the level of sales where the business makes neither a profit nor a loss.
