An operations manager has narrowed down the search for a new King Kola plant to three locations. Fixed and variable costs follow.

Identify the range over which each location would be best. Then use break$-$even analysis to calculate exactly the break$-$even quantity

that defines each range.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Location C is the best one if volumes are less than $5000.$

Location A becomes the most expensive place to produce at volumes less than $10,000.$

The break$-$even quantity between A and $B$ is less than or equal to $17,000$ units.

The break$-$even quantity between $C$ and $B$ is more than $30,000$ units.
