Question 1083274
this is easier than you think.


R = 17x


C = 40,000 + 13x


when R = C, you get:


17x = 40,000 + 13x


subtract 13x from both sides of the equation to get:


17x - 13x = 40,000


combine like terms to get 4x = 40,000


solve for x to get x = 10,000


that's your break even point.

 
r = 17x = 17*10,000 = 170,000


c = 40,000 + 13x = 40,000 + 130,000 = 170,000


revenue equals cost when number of units produced and sold is equal to 10,000.
