At the break-even point, operating income equals $0. The break-even point tells managers how many units must be sold to cover all costs. Once more than the break-even units are sold, the company begins to earn a profit. So to get the break-even units using the operating income statement, we set operating income to zero, and then solve for the number of units.

Break-Even Units = Total Fixed Cost
(Price ? Variable cost per unit)
