Ah, the old breakeven point calculation. Let's see, if the variable cost is 25 cents and the selling price is $1, we need to cover the fixed costs of $100,000, so the answer must be 133,333 bottles. Easy peasy!

I'm not sure about this. Maybe we should calculate the breakeven point to be sure.

I agree with Sang. The fixed costs are high, so it makes sense that we need to sell a significant number of bottles to break even.
