Hi Antje, thank you for finding the graphic, that helped a lot! (This is the first English graphic for this scenario I have come across, well done for finding it - I spent a long time on my research yesterday and was close to despair. Thanks again!

"upper break even point" is definitely different from profit max and the term you're looking for. Sorry.

I did some research after my last post and I didn't find too many good results for "profit order". Profit maximum might not be the established term, but the graph looks similar to yours and it makes sense in the context. http://welkerswikinomics.wetpaint.com/page/Profit Maximizati...

I am tempted to translate "Gewinnschwelle" as "lower break-even point" and "Gewinngrenze" as "upper break-even point" in this scenario.

Hi Antje, thank you for finding this entry. It does seem to match the context of my query. I am just a bit worried because the entry on the economypoint.org is written in a peculiar form of English, so I am not sure whether to trust it. I searched for "profit border" on the Internet but have so far not come up with a definition that matches my original context. I have found a great German graph which exactly points out where on the curve the "Gewinngrennze" or "Nutzengrenze" as they also call is to be found:

There are numerous German exam questions etc. on the internet containing the term "Gewinngrenze", so there must be an equally well known English term around. But I was not even able to find this kind of curved graph in English. Very peculiar, indeed.

Seems like Gewinngrenze represents the maximum profit a company can make: http://www.wirtschaftslexikon24.net/d/gewinnschwelle-gewinnm...

So how about profit border like in this extract: http://www.economypoint.org/o/operating-optimum.html
