Giving the following information:

The restaurant sells pizza at a rate of $13.57/slice. Expenses for the restaurant include raw material for pizza at $8.57 per slice, $172.00 as monthly rental and $61.00 monthly as insurance.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= (172 + 61) / (13.57 - 8.57)

Break-even point= 46.6 slices
