Answer 2

2000 bars at $1200

Explanation:

Total selling income = manufacturing cost

Before we begin; notice we have a mixture of units. Cents and dollars. Consequently we need to express these using just one unit of measurement. I choose dollars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let the count of bars be n

Total selling income =n×$0.60

→$(0.60n)

Production cost =$1000+(n×$0.10)

→$(0.1n+1000)

Setting one against the other for break even point.

Dropping the dollar sign as we will just end up with a count (n)

0.1n+1000=0.6n

0.6n−0.1n=1000

0.5n=1000

n=1000

0.5=2000

Check

$0.6×2000=$1200

($0.1×2000)+$1000

=$1200
