Question

pens are sold in a local store for 80 cents each. The factory had $1200 in fixed costs plus 5 cents of additional expense for each pen made. Assuming all pens manufactured can be sold, find the break- even point. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

They need to sell 1,600 pens to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the profit equal to the cost by making 2 equations:

0.8p = 1200 + 0.05p

0.75p = 1200

p = 1600

They need to sell 1,600 pens to break even.
