To calculate the break-even point in terms of revenue (a.k.a. currency units, a.k.a. sales proceeds) instead of Unit Sales (X), the above calculation can be multiplied by Price, or, equivalently, the Contribution Margin Ratio (Unit Contribution Margin over Price) can be calculated:
In nuclear fusion research, the term break-even refers to a fusion energy gain factor equal to unity; this is also known as the Lawson criterion. The notion can also be found in more general phenomena, such as percolation. In energy, the break-even point is the point where usable energy gotten from a process equals the input energy.
The explosion of the Ivy Mike hydrogen bomb. The hydrogen bomb was the first device able to achieve fusion energy gain factor significantly larger than 1.. A fusion energy gain factor, usually expressed with the symbol Q, is the ratio of fusion power produced in a nuclear fusion reactor to the power required to maintain the plasma in steady state.
Payback period in capital budgeting refers to the time required to recoup the funds expended in an investment, or to reach the break-even point. [1]For example, a $1000 investment made at the start of year 1 which returned $500 at the end of year 1 and year 2 respectively would have a two-year payback period.
If closing costs are $9,000, it would take you 30 months to break even — 2.5 years that could be worth the $3,600 a year in monthly savings. $9,000 / $300 = 30 months 8.
Airlines often calculate a load factor at which the airline will break even; this is called the break-even load factor. [3] At a load factor lower than the break even level, the airline will lose money, and above will record a profit. The environmental performance of any transport mode improves as the load factor increases.
The discounted payback period (DPB) is the amount of time that it takes (in years) for the initial cost of a project to equal to the discounted value of expected cash flows, or the time it takes to break even from an investment. [1] It is the period in which the cumulative net present value of a project equals zero.
