A company is considering producing a product for a new market. The fixed costs required for manufacturing and delivering the product is $50,000. Labor and material costs are estimated to be approximately $25.00 per product. If the product is sold for $35.00 each, the firm's break-even volume would be:

a company's fixed operating costs are $500,000, its variable costs are $3.00 per unit, and the product's sales price is $4.00. What is the company's breakeven point; that is, at what unit sales volume will its income equal its costs?

Fixed costs involved in the manufacture of a certain product are $36,000. The unit selling price is $170. A profit of $9,000 is obtained when 500 units are sold. Find the break-even point. Draw the figure, and shade the profit area.

The cost function for a certain company is $C=60 x+300$ and the revenue is given by $R=100 x-0.5 x^{2} .$ Recall that profit is revenue minus cost. Set up a quadratic equation and find two values of $x$ (production level) that will create a profit of $\$ 300$.
