Share with your team these two instances when calculating the Breakeven Point is useful:

• To Determine if an Idea Is Profitable.  Whether the idea in question concerns new products, services or processes, performing a simple Breakeven calculation can help you find out if and/or when it will become a profitable endeavor for your organization.
