173,310To find the break-even quantity, first calculate the cost of ingredients per taco: $10.25 (bok choy) + $6.75 (cheese) + $25.25 (foie gras) = $42.25. The selling price per taco is $475. The profit per taco is $475 - $42.25 = $432.75. The initial investment is $75,000,000. To find the break-even quantity, divide the initial investment by the profit per taco: $75,000,000 / $432.75 ≈ 173,310 tacos.
