If X units of a product cost c dollars to manufacture and earn revenue of R dollars the value of X where the expressions for C and R are equal is called the break-even quantity the number of units that produce zero profit.
Find the break - even quantity when C=13x+80000 and R=18X.
How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?
:
Break even is when R = C, therefore:
18x = 13x + 80000
18x - 13x = 80000
5x = 80000
x = 8000/5
x = 16000 units to breakeven
:
See if that is true
R: 18(16000) = 28800
C: 13(16000) + 80000 = 288000
:
Pretty easy, right?
