Question

Emmanuel decided to put up a candy shop that sells a dairy chocolate that cost PhP135.00 per pack. The cost of making the chocolate is PhP90.00 and the operating expense is PhP4, 500.00. Which value of x will make Emmanuel's candy shop suffer loss for selling packs of chocolate?

Answer 1

cost of making the chocolate is 90

Let say number of chocolates = x

Variable Cost = 90x

Fixed Cost = 4500

Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable cost

Cost = 4500 + 90x

Selling Price per piece = 135

Revenue = 135x

At break even Cost = Revenue

135x = 4500 + 90x

45x = 4500

x = 100

100 packs of dairy chocolate must be sold to break even
