If x units of a products cost C dollars to manufacture and earn

revenue of R dollars, the value of x where the exprssions for

C and R are quals is called the break-even quantity, the number

of units that produce zero profit. Find the break-even quantity

when C=14x+36000 and R=16x.

Answer provided by our tutors

We have the following equation

C = R

14x + 36000 = 16x

2x = 36000

x = 18000

So the break-even quantity is 18000
