Expert Solution

Step 1
Introduction:
The break even point (break-even price) for a transaction or investment is found by comparing the market price of an item to the initial cost; the break even point is reached when the two prices are equal. In corporate accounting, the break even point formula is calculated by dividing the entire fixed costs involved with manufacturing by the revenue per individual unit minus the variable expenses per unit. Fixed costs are those that do not change regardless of the number of units sold. In other words, the break even point is the moment at which total revenues for a product equal total costs.
