Tim Marlow, the owner of The Clock Works, wanted to know how many clocks he must sell in order to cover his fixed cost at a given price. Tim knew that he had a fixed cost of $20,000 for equipment, taxes, and a bank loan. He also had a unit variable cost of $20 per clock for labor, materials, and promotional costs. If the price Tim charges for each of his clocks is $40, what is his break-even point quantity?
