A video game manufacturer is planning to market a 64-bit version of its game machine. The fixed costs are $285000 and the variable costs are $120 per machine. The wholesale price of the machine will be $130.
------------
Company profit per machine = 130-120 = $10
------------
How many game machines must be sold for the company to break even?
EQUATION:
Let "x" be the number of machines sold.
Break Even occurs when cost = profit
285000 = 10x
x = 28,500
Break even occurs when they have sold 28,500 machines
