A small business invests $9,800 in equipment to produce a product. Each unit of the product costs $0.65 to produce and is sold for $1.20. How many units of the product must be sold before the revenue received equals the total expense of production, including the initial investment in equipment? Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 12,000	B) 14,500	C) 15,230	D) 17,818	E) 20,000
The company makes $0.55 ($1.20 less the $0.65) on each product. so how many of these products will need to be made to cover the initial $9,800 equipment cost. 9,800/0.55 will give us the answer. 9,800/0.55 is 17818 ==&gt; the correct answer is 17,818.
