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.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the break - even quantity when C=13x+80000 and R=18X.
\n" ); document.write( "How many units must be produced and sold in order to break even?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Break even is when R = C, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "18x = 13x + 80000
\n" ); document.write( "18x - 13x = 80000
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 80000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8000/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16000 units to breakeven
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that is true
\n" ); document.write( "R: 18(16000) = 28800
\n" ); document.write( "C: 13(16000) + 80000 = 288000
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Pretty easy, right? \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
