ABC Ltd. Wants to choose the best location for its new aluminum plant. The manager ofproductions and operations has three possible locations to choose from. His assistantrecommends that he use break-even analysis location technique to help determine whichlocation is best based on costs. . If total fixed cost = 40000 AVC = 20 Price per unit = 10 Break even point = 40000 / 20 - 10= 4000 So at the 4000 units of production, there will be no profit and loss as the total revenue is equal to the total cost. Demonstrate to the OM manager how to go about choosing the best location using thenumerical example you designed above.
