Question

The Sony Corp computed their monthly expense equation as E=11q+76,000. Its products will be sold to retailers at a wholesale price of R=$14q. How many items must be sold to reach the breakeven point? (hint: E=R)

Answer 1

Using the concept of break even point, it is found that 25334 items must be sold to reach the break even point.

-----------------------

The expense equation is:

$E(q) = 11q + 76000$

The revenue equation is:

$R(q) = 14q$

The break even point is the value of q for which expense and revenue are equal, thus:

$R(q) = E(q)$

$14q = 11q + 76000$

$3q = 76000$

$q = \frac{76000}{3}$

$q = 25333.33$

Rounding up, 25334 items must be sold to reach the break even point.
