### Profit Determination Table

| **Method** | **Description** | **Comparison** |
|------------|------------------|----------------|
| **Profit = Total Revenue – Total Costs** | | |
| **Profitable**: | When Total Revenue (TR) is greater than, equal to, or less than Total Costs (TC): | TR (pick one: **>**, =, <) TC |
| **Breakeven**:  | When Total Revenue (TR) equals Total Costs (TC): | TR (pick one: >, **=**, <) TC |
| **Loss**: | When Total Revenue (TR) is less than Total Costs (TC): | TR (pick one: >, =, **<**) TC |
| **ATR (this is price) – ATC = price/quantity** | | |
| **Profitable**: | When Average Total Revenue (ATR) is greater than, equal to, or less than Average Total Costs (ATC): | Price (pick one: **>**, =, <) ATC |
| **Breakeven**:  | When Average Total Revenue (ATR) equals Average Total Costs (ATC): | Price (pick one: >, **=**, <) ATC |
| **Loss**: | When Average Total Revenue (ATR) is less than Average Total Costs (ATC): | Price (pick one: >, =, **<**) ATC |
