Question 456910: A machine to mill a brass plate has a setup cost of $600 and a unit cost of $3 for each plate manufactured. A bigger machine has a setup cost of $800 but a unit cost of only $2 for each plate manufactured. Find the break points. Answer by indonesia00(3) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Total Cost= Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
0 = $3x - 600 solve for x
600=3x
600/3=x
x=200 is the breaking point for the first question.
800=2x
800/2=x
x=400 is the breaking point for the second question.
