Final answer:

The question does not provide enough context to definitively calculate the breakeven quantity. Typically, the breakeven quantity is found where total cost equals total revenue, but the options listed by the student do not correspond with the data provided in the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The breakeven quantity is the level of production where total revenues equal total costs, resulting in no profit or loss. To find the breakeven point, the total cost must be set equal to the total revenue. This involves analyzing data and using concepts from both economics and mathematics. The Healthily example provided in Table 9.2 shows total costs and total revenues at different quantities. A breakeven point occurs where the total revenue is equal to the total cost. Unfortunately, the data provided does not include a clear example of a breakeven quantity, as we are missing the context or choice of options directly related to breakeven analysis.In general, to calculate the breakeven point, you would use the formula Calculate the fixed costs of production – costs that do not change with the level of output.With the correct data, these steps can lead to the breakeven quantity that must be sold to cover all costs.Conclusion Once the breakeven point is calculated, businesses can determine the minimum production and sales levels needed to avoid losses. As the specifics for a breakeven quantity provided in the student's options are not directly related to the content excerpt from Table 9.2 or the given information, we are unable to calculate a precise breakeven quantity without additional context or data.
