Answer #1

You want your cost and your sales to equal each other in order to break even. Let’s say you are going to sell “X” CDs:

The cost is $12500 + $2.5X and the money that comes in from sales is $7.99X. Set the two sides equal and solve for X:

12500 + 2.5X = 7.99X 12500 = (7.99-2.5)X

X = 12500 / (7.99 - 2.5) = 12500 / 5.49 = 2276.86703

Since CDs are sold as a complete item and not in fractions, you have to round up to 2,277 CDs in order to break even.

Answer #2

Answer #3

Don’t you have to tell us how many CDs the band plans to copy, or are we just trying to break even for recording one master copy?
