To a layman, break-even point is the point where an entity neither make profit nor loss. It is the point where total revenue equals total cost(where the total sales line intersects the total costs line on a cost-volume-profit chart).
Points greater or above this intersection or point mean the firm is making profit and points lesser or below this intersection or point mean the firm is making loss.
Answer:
$22,000
Explanation:
Given that
1st house rented = 10,000
2nd house estimated rent = 12,000
Therefore,
The two houses would contribute
= 10,000 + 12000
= $22,000
Note: Rent is considered as consumption and as a result, rent is added into the GDP. Also, in GDP estimation, imputed rent which is the amount a house owner is willing to rent a house away for if he decides to is calculated as part of the GDP.

Answer:
If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?
Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000
she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year
What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.
