The 'break-even point' is where

  • A.Marginal revenue equals marginal cost
  • B.Average revenue equals average cost
  • C.Total revenue equals total cost
  • D.None of the above

Answer: C

Correct answer: Total revenue equals total cost

At the break-even point the firm makes neither profit nor loss, so total revenue equals total cost:

\[ \text{Break-even quantity} = \frac{\text{Fixed cost}}{\text{Price} - \text{Variable cost per unit}} \]

Marginal revenue equalling marginal cost is the condition for maximum profit, which is a different point entirely.
