Definitions

a company incurs certain costs when initially starting up. It incurs debts or expends capital to buy materials to process. It regains this money by marketing its products. After it passes the break-even point, profits begin to increasingly exceed costs ideally. On a graph showing total costs and total sales figures, profits form a wedge shape from the point where sales rise above costs. This is called the profit wedge.
