    Break even Point
Click For Summary
The computer company plans to produce 30,000 computers at a selling price of $700 each, with fixed costs of $5,000,000 and total variable costs of $6,000,000. To find the break-even point, the total revenue must equal the sum of fixed and variable costs. The break-even point occurs when revenue from selling the computers matches the total costs, which is calculated as revenue = number of computers sold x selling price. Clarification is sought on the calculation process, with a request for a final answer. The discussion emphasizes understanding the break-even formula rather than simply providing the answer.

at the break even point, revenue - (fixed cost + variable cost) = 0

You are given both fixed and total variable costs ... revenue is number of computers sold time \$700
