To be profitable, a firm must recover its costs. These costs include both its fixed and its variable costs. One way that a firm evaluates at what stage it would recover the invested costs is to calculate how many units or how much in dollar sales is necessary for the firm to earn a profit. Consider the case of Blue Mouse Manufacturers: Blue Mouse Manufacturers is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $37.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $11.25 per unit.   Given Blue Mouse’s cost structure, it will have to sell    units to break even on this project (QBEQBE).
