Question:
You will charge an entry fee of $15 per participant. Determine the breakeven quantity of bags you must order. Remember orders must be in blocks of 100.
I think the answer is 300 because 100 bags at $15 per bag equals $1,500. The marginal cost of 300 bags is 15 (although I didn't show it here). Am I on the right track?
