Break even price is the price at which company's need to sell a particular product in certain quantity so that there is no profit/loss.
For example: We intend to sell stationery say pencil and cost of manufacturing it and distributing it is2AED/pencil. Now the company has produced100 pencils and according to analysis they believe they would be able to sell a maximum of80 pencils. Now since cost of manufacturing and distributing( i.e. fixed costs+variable costs) those pencil is200AED(2*100) and they intend to sell80 pencils, now they have to charge2.5AED/pencil(200/80) to achieve break even point(i.e. no loss or profit) and the price at which it is being sold is called break even price. In this case it is2.5AED
It is a price where suppliers are at a position of no profit and no loss condition. it is a common method of CVP [Cost, volume, profit analysis]
In economics, the break-even point is the point at which revenues equal expenses. In investing, the break-even point is the point at which gains equal losses.

The point where total cost & total sales are equal, where there is no profit or loss is the Break even Point
Simply the point at which you have not made a loss and neither did you make a profit on a particular good. in other words you have gained back the cost of the product or service rather than made a loss or profit.
