Answer:

To break even the company must sell

Explanation:

The position at which the company is at no profit and loss position then it is said that the company is at breakeven position.

Break-even position can be found from the following position:

Breakeven position = Fixed cost /  contribution per unit

The fixed cost here is initial investment which is $9900 and the contribution can be found by taking the difference between selling price per unit and variable cost per unit. The contribution per unit is $0.55 per unit ($1.2 - $0.65). By putting values in the above equation we have:

Breakeven position = $9900 / $0.55 per unit = 18000 Units

So 18000 units are required to sell to reach at a no profit no loss position.
