EXPLAINTION
1.The number of units is on the X-axis (horizontal)
and the dollar amount is on the Y-axis (vertical).
2.The red line represents the total fixed costs of
$100,000.
3.The blue line represents revenue per unit sold. For
example, selling 10,000 units would generate 10,000
x $12 = $120,000 in revenue.
4.The yellow line represents total costs (fixed and
variable costs). For example, if the company sells 0
units, then the company would incur $0 in variable
costs but $100,000 in fixed costs for total costs of
$100,000. If the company sells 10,000 units, the
company would incur 10,000 x $2 = $20,000 in
variable costs and $100,000 in fixed costs for total

profits?
•Which product is most profitable?
•What effect will a simultaneous change in price, cost, and volume have on
profits?
