Useful for checking how price and cost affect break-even.
Fix: Selling price must be greater than variable cost to reach break-even.
Fix: Enter fixed cost, selling price, and variable cost.
Fix: This version calculates break-even in units.
It calculates how many units must be sold to cover fixed costs.
It is selling price per unit minus variable cost per unit.
If selling price is less than or equal to variable cost, break-even cannot be reached.
This version returns break-even units.
Yes. All three inputs can include decimals.
