Your question asks how many muffins the Muffin House needs to sell in order to breakeven
<h3>Answer: 700 Muffins</h3>In order to find the answer to your question, we first need to gather important information from the question.
Important Information:
- Selling price/ per muffin = $15
- Variable costs (cost to make)/ per muffin = $9
- Total fixed cost = $4,200
With the information above, we can find the answer to the question.
The Muffin House spends $9 to make a muffin, but sells it for $15. So the Margin is $6 (profit).
We would only make profit from the Margin price, so we need to get the Margin price to $4,200.This means we would need to divide 4200 by 6 to get our answer. Since they want to breakeven with the fixed cost, they need to sell as much muffins for the Margin to add up to $4,200 at the end to breakeven.
When you're done solving, you should get 700.
This means that The Muffin House must sell 700 muffins in order to break even.
