A publisher for a promising new novel figures fixed costs (overhead, advances, promotion, copy editing,...
The publisher must produce and sell ____ books to break even
(Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
To find the breakeven point, use the formula:
Breakeven Point (in units) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Fixed Costs = $53,000
Selling Price per Unit = $12
Variable Cost per Unit = $2.80
Breakeven Point = $53,000 / ($12 - $2.80) = $53,000 / $9.20 ≈ 5761 units
The publisher must produce and sell 5761 books to break even.
