The first thing is that you must assume that every game produced will be sold. Let represent the number of units of Diablo produced and sold. Then is the number of COD, is the number of Sekiro, and is the number of Starcraft.

Then the variable cost is:



Then the total production cost is:



The revenue function is:



The profit function is:



Break even means zero profit. So solve



to find the number of unit mix units that must be sold to break even given that no unsold units were produced
