o R&D and design, it spent $0.5 billion building the tools and production facility that are unique to DOWS production. It houses these in standard factory floor space that costs $1 million.

Answer:

$100,000,000

Explanation:

To calculate relevant break even cost point we ignore all the sunk funds and fixed costs that have already been paid.

This includes,

R&D funds of $1 billion

Tools of $0.5 billion

Factory of $1 million

None of these are the relevant or incremental costs and thus to calculate break even for this order, they will be avoided.

The Break even cost = 50,000 * 2000 = $100,000,000

We only account for the cost of producing each additional unit that is the Marginal Cost of $2,000/missile.

Hope that helps.
