The total cost is $65,000 fixed + 15,000*$7.5=$65,000+$112,500=$177,500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total revenue is 15000 tires * $25/tire=$375,000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Profit is Revenue-Cost=$375,000-$177,500=$197,500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Break even is:
\n" ); document.write( "$65,000+$7.5x=$25x, where x is the number of tires. It is the function for cost=function for profit.
\n" ); document.write( "$65,000=$17.5 x
\n" ); document.write( "x=3715 tires (3714 is close but a slight loss)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
