A piece of furniture can be produced by either of two manufacturing methods, method A or method B. For method A, the fixed costs are £9000 per year and the variable costs are £22 per item. For method B, the fixed costs are £9300 per year and the variable costs are £20 per item. Calculate the break-even quantity per year for which the cost of manufacture is the same whichever method is used. Give your answer as an exact value. Break-even quantity:

In Exercises 50 and $51,$ the average cost per unit at production level $x$ is defined as $$ C_{\mathrm{avg}}(x)=\frac{C(x)}{x} $$ where $C(x)$ is the cost of producing $x$ units. Average cost is a measure of the efficiency of the production process.
