Break-even level:
Break-even level refers to the point of sales at which there will be no profit or no loss. In other words we can say that when total sales revenue is equal to total costs then such point will be known as break-even level.

- A company that sells radios has yearly fixed costs of $600,000. It costs the company $45 to produce each radio. Each radio will sell for $65. The company’s costs and revenue are modeled by the functions (see attached), where x represents the number of radios produced and sold. Then find and interpret (R - C)(20,000), (R - C)(30,000), and(R - C)(40,000).arrow_forwardValue Electronics uses a standard part in the manufacture of different types of radios. The total cost of producing 32,000 parts is $90,000, which includes fixed costs of $30,000 and variable costs of $60,000. The company can buy this part from an external supplier for $5 per unit and avoid 10% of the fixed costs. If Value Electronics decides to outsource the production of the part, how will it impact its operating income? A. Operating income increases by $97,000. B. Operating income decreases by $100,000. C. Operating income decreases by $97,000. D. Operating income increases by $100,000.arrow_forwardMaple Inc. manufactures a product that costs $25 per unit plus $43,000 in fixed costs each month. Maple currently sells 6,000 of these units per month for $47 each. If Maple leased a machine for $12,000 a month, it could add features to the product that would allow it to sell for $53 each. It would cost an additional $9 per unit to add these features. How much would Maple's profit be affected if it leased the machine and added features to its product?
