The cost function is the fixed cost plus the variable cost. The revenue function is the sell price times the number of units sold. Set the cost function equal to the revenue function and solve for 
. Note: This is only valid if the number of units produced (the meaning of in the cost function) is exactly equal to the number of units sold (the meaning of in the revenue function).
