Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall the formula of the break-even point:
Revenue - Cost = 0
Revenue = Cost
Replacing with the information we know, for solving for x:
120x = 100x + 1,840
120x - 100x = 1,840
20x = 1,840
x = 1,840/20
x = 92
If the company needs to sell at least 92 guitars to reach the break-even point, selling 93 will allow them to start making a profit.
r(93) = 120 * 93 = 11,160
c(93) = 100 * 93 + 1,840 = 11,140
Profit = 11,160 - 11,140 = 20
