This break-even applet was written in Java script. The applet is designed to calculate the break-even point for a firm based on the information you provide. A firm's break-even point occurs when at a point where total revenue equals total costs.

The applet is divided into steps that you will follow to determine the break-even point. The first step is for you to enter the data. The second steps involves issuing the compute command to the computer. The final section displays the break-even information based on your company's data.
