Instead, be sure to include the exact break-even point, including any digits after the decimal, in order to get the correct total cost. If necessary, use direct cell referencing to ensure the correct break-even point is used. For a volume that is 3 units greater than the break-even point (derived in the previous two questions), which process option would be best?
