break-even point Explanation: Points ot first answerer. Just a bit more info... As you no doubt know, literally, "point mort" is what we refer to in UK English as "neutral gear". In financial contexts, this means "break-even point". Robert & Collins Senior 2000, page 686 "POINT [2]" |

break-even point Explanation: POINT MORT; SEUIL DE RENTABILITÉ; CHIFFRE D'AFFAIRES CRITIQUE Comptabilité de gestion. Niveau d'activité auquel l'entreprise réalise des produits d'exploitation égaux à ses charges d'exploitation. Le point mort est représenté par le chiffre des ventes (exprimé en monnaie ou en quantité) qui permet de recouvrer d'abord les charges variables et les charges fixes. Note - Ce n'est que lorsque la totalité des charges fixes a été couverte, grâce à la marge sur coûts variables, qu'un bénéfice peut être dégagé.
