Answer to Question #2326 in Algebra for Ashley

Question

A small company duplicates DVDs. The cost of duplicating is $42 fixed overhead plus $0.10 per DVD duplicated. The company generates revenues of $1.50 per DVD. Use a graph to determine the break-even point for duplicating DVDs.

I need help with finding the points to this question for graphing.

Answer 1

The following graph can be used to estimate the break-even point:

Thus N(break-even) :& 42 + 0.1N = 1.5N
N (break-even) = 30 DVD's.
After 30 DVD's the sales revenue becomes& greater than total cost.
