Zero-profit condition

Zero-profit condition is a concept that talks about a situation where a company or business makes no profit or loss. If you make lemonade and you sell it for the exact amount it cost you to make it, then you have achieved the zero-profit condition.

To understand it better, imagine you have a cake store, and you buy all the supplies you need to make one cake, like flour, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. You also consider the cost of the equipment you used, such as the oven and mixing bowl. Suppose that you sell that cake for $10, and the total cost of all these supplies and equipment is $10. You have reached the point of zero-profit because you neither gained nor lost money.

The zero-profit condition is essential for a company or business because it helps determine the minimum amount of money they should sell their products to recover all the costs required for its production.

Companies should always aim to achieve zero-profit as it helps them measure their costs and make sure they have enough sales to cover their expenditure. In that way, they can make the right decisions about pricing and continue to operate sustainably.
