• Note that it is possible that instead of
making the business owner earn a
positive profit, selling an item on sale
sometimes gives rise to a negative
profit. In this case, the profit is said to
be a LOSS.
• When an item is given a selling price
where the profit ends up being zero,
this is said to be the BREAK-EVEN
PRICE.
• In this case, the selling price is simply
equal to the total of the cost price and
the operating expenses
Break-Even Price = Cost Price + Operating Cost
BEP = C + E
