A manufacturer produces a piece of plywood at a labor cost of P20.00 and material at P35.00. The fixed charges on business are P150,000.00 a month and the variable cost is P20.00 a piece. If one plywood sells for P60.00 each, how many pieces must be produced each month for the manufacturer to break even?
