Answer:
2247 units must be sold to break even
Explanation:
C = 2. 5 x 14,000 [I will change this to C = 2. 5x + 14,000]
R = 6. 23x
The modified (corrected?) Cost equation, C = 2. 5x + 14,000, tells us the the company will receive 2.5 (currency units) for every unit sold, but that it has a fixed overhead cost of 14,000 units. If no units are sold, the cost to stay open is 14,000. The second equation, R=6.23x, tells us that the company receives 6.23 for each unit.
To find breakeven, we need a value of x, units sold, such that 6.23x = 14,000:
6.23x = 14,000
x = 14,000/6.23
x = 2247 units must be sold to break even
