Example:
You Sell your goods for $6 a unit with a Variable Cost of $4. You have fixed costs of $20,000

SP 6x
VC 4x
CM = 2x (6x-4x)
Less: FC 20,000
Net Income (should be 0 for BE calculation)

Therefore,
2x – 20,000 = 0
2x = 20,000
x = 10,000

So you need to sell 10,000 units to break even

That's what I get for trying to be nice eh?

If you don't understand my explanation, then just ask for clarification, don't go disagreeing with me.

I am sorry you are having difficulties, but when you ask such a vague question, how and I or anyone else suppose to know what YOUR level of understanding is.
