Question:

From the graph below, answer the following questions.

 

What is the break even point?

Options:

Point A

Point B

Point A and point B

Neither point A nor point B

Correct Answer:

Point A and point B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Point A and point B

When consumption is equal to income, it is a break even point. So, point B is a breakeven point in the given figure. Point B implies APC =1 and Zero savings.

Further, we know that Y= C+ S 

At point A, S = 0.

So, at point A also, Y = C, which makes it also a breakeven point.
