MHB Computer Company's Break Even Point: 30000 Computers

    Break even Point
AI Thread 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.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
