a company is about to bring a new generating unit into production at a fixedd cost of $300,000 . it will cost the company $0.025 per kilowat-hour to generate electrical power which they can sell for 0.075$ per kwh.
required
determine the break even quantity in millions of kwh and break even dollar of sales
--------
Total Cost:: 300,000 + 0.025x
Total Revenue:: 0.0755x
------------------------------
Break-even equation:
cost = revenue
300,000 + 0.025x = 0.0755x
-------
300,000 = 0.0505x
-------
x = 300,000/0.0505
----
x = 5,940,594.059 kwh
