Question 88949: A manufacturer can sell a certain product for $80 per unit. Total cost consists of fixed overhead of $4500 plus production costs of $50 per unit.
What is the manufacturer's profit or loss if 200 units are sold?
How many units must the manufacturer sell to break even?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P+=+80x+-+4500+-50x
P+=+30x+-+4500
If 200 units are sold,
P+=+30%2A200+-4500
P+=+1500
At break even, P = 0
0+=+30x+-+4500
30x+=+4500
x+=+150
So, 150 units must be sold to break even
