Handheld fiber optic meters with white light polar­ization interferometry are useful for measuring tem­perature, pressure, and strain in electrically noisy environments. The fixed costs associated with man­ufacturing are $800,000 per year. If variable costs are $290 per unit and the company sells 4000 units per year, at what selling price per unit will the com­pany break even?

What will be an ideal response?


Let x = selling price
0 = 4000x - [800,000 + 290(4000)]
x = $490/unit
