Step 4.4 – Capacity / Breakeven
Break-even is reached when a company's total costs equal its total revenues.

Beyond this threshold, the company is deemed to enter the enviable profit zone. The value of this threshold can be expressed in terms of volume produced, turnover received or time periods (in years, for example).
