Break-Even Points

Question 16 • LJISD-TX-Precalculus-B-CR

Suppose you invest $10,410 in equipment to manufacture a new board game. Each game costs $2.65 to manufacture and sells for $20. How many games must you make and sell before your business breaks even?

Answer
A
500 games
B
550 games
C
600 games
D
650 games

Explanation

Each game sells for $20 and costs $2.65 to make, so it contributes $20 − $2.65 = $17.35 toward covering the equipment cost. Divide the $10,410 investment by $17.35 per game: $10,410 ÷ $17.35 = 600. The business breaks even after making and selling 600 games, choice c.
