Jenny's Bakery sells carrot muffins for $2.00 each. The electricity to run the oven is $120.00 per day and the cost of making one carrot muffin is $1.40. How many muffins need to be sold each day for the bakery to break even?

Verified Answer :

Break even is a condition where the total production cost is same as the profit produced. In this question, the carrot muffin cost is $1.4 and sold at $2. Then the profit for every muffin should be: $2- $1.4= $0.6/muffin

The electricity cost is $120/day. Then to cover this cost, the muffin need to sold would be:

cost= muffin profit muffin sold
$120= $0.6/muffin muffin sold
muffin sold= $120 / ($0.6 / muffin)= 200 muffin
