The company’s fixed monthly cost is $25,000, and its variable cost per pound of fertilizer is $0.20.
\n" ); document.write( " Evergreen sells the fertilizer for $0.45 per pound.
\n" ); document.write( " Determine the monthly break-even volume for the company
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = quantity sold
\n" ); document.write( "Break even occurs when revenue = cost
\n" ); document.write( ".45x = .20x + 25000
\n" ); document.write( ".45x - .20x = 25000
\n" ); document.write( ".25x = 25000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 25000/.25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 100,000 lbs sold for them to break even
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( " find the cost for this amt
\n" ); document.write( ".20(100000) + 25000 = $45,000
\n" ); document.write( " Find the revenue
\n" ); document.write( ".45(100000) = $45,000 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
