were invented, circuits which could replace the above mentioned traditional methods of
communication were developed to revolutionize the industry.

Then the transistor technology evolved that led to the development of the first electronic
Morse code Key, Telegraph and Telephone devices. Due to growing technology and
research carried out in the Bell Laboratory, the transistors were developed into smaller
chips with enormous number of transistors. I.e. Integrated circuits (IC). These led to
further development and enhanced communication rate as well as distance through
wireless devices.

This is an effective way of presenting the relationship between volume cost and profit. It also
gives the relationship between the revenue and cost with respect to volume. It shows equilibrium
level of sale at which revenue equals cost. This equilibrium point is also known as the break
Even Point. At this point there is neither profit nor loss.
