One of the board members, hearing of the net loss expected for 20x0 at the first board meeting described above, asked whether anyone knew how many plates the company would need to sell to break even. Calculate PPI's breakeven point (in plates) using 20x0's cost structure. Recall that a company's cost structure is its selling price per unit, variable cost per unit, and total fixed cost. Your submission here will be one number.
