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 break-even point, use the formula:
Break-even point (in units) = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Fixed Costs = $50,000
Selling Price per Unit = $12
Variable Cost per Unit = $2.10
Break-even point = $50,000 / ($12 - $2.10) = $50,000 / $9.90 ≈ 5051
The publisher must produce and sell 5051 books to break even.
