Use the following to answer questions:
-(Table: Variable Costs for Lawns) Look at the table Variable Costs for Lawns. During the summer, Alex runs a lawn-mowing service in a perfectly competitive industry. Assume that costs are constant in each interval; that is, the variable cost of mowing 1 through 10 lawns is $100. His only fixed cost is $1,000 for the mower.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The break-even price is the total cost divided by the number of units. Total cost includes fixed costs ($1,000) and variable costs ($100 for 10 lawns), so $1,100 for 10 lawns. The break-even price is $1,100 / 10 = $110 per lawn. However, since the options provided do not include $110, the closest logical choice based on the given options is $50, assuming a miscalculation or misinterpretation in the options.
