Decision reportTerms explained
Key terms used in this report
These definitions explain finance terms and strategies that appear in the result.
Break-even
The point where savings have recovered the upfront cost of a decision. Before break-even, the decision has not yet paid for itself.
Gross margin
Profit as a percentage of the selling price. It is different from markup, which compares profit with cost.
Markup
Profit compared with cost. A 50% markup does not equal a 50% margin because margin is measured against selling price.
