Break even price is the price at which company's need to sell a particular product in certain quantity so that there is no profit/loss.

For example: We intend to sell stationery say pencil and cost of manufacturing it and distributing it is2AED/pencil. Now the company has produced100 pencils and according to analysis they believe they would be able to sell a maximum of80 pencils. Now since cost of manufacturing and distributing( i.e. fixed costs+variable costs) those pencil is200AED(2*100) and they intend to sell80 pencils, now they have to charge2.5AED/pencil(200/80) to achieve break even point(i.e. no loss or profit) and the price at which it is being sold is called break even price. In this case it is2.5AED

It's a figure which sadly too many organizations do not know and may be used as marketing, pricing points to push opportunities  and close sales.

Break even price is the lowest acceptable price point below which the seller will start losing money.

The point where total cost & total sales are equal, where there is no profit or loss is the Break even Point

Simply the point at which you have not made a loss and neither did you make a profit on a particular good. in other words you have gained back the cost of the product or service rather than made a loss or profit.
