The overall expenses of the factory comprise both its variable and fixed costs. The factory incurs fixed costs of $53,900 alongside variable costs of $12.50 for each unit manufactured. If we denote x as the total number of toys produced by Toby's Tiny Toys, then the total variable costs would be 12.50x. From here, we can conclude that the cost function for the factory is,

C(x)=53\,900+12.50x.

Conversely, if we define x as the amount of toys sold, we can determine that at a selling price of $16.50, the revenue function will be,

R(x)=16.50x.

Toby's Tiny Toys will achieve their break-even point when their total costs match the total revenue. At this point, we determine that

R(x)=C(x)\\\implies 16.50x=12.50x+53\,900\\\implies 16.50x-12.50x=53\,900\\\implies 4x=53\,900\\\implies x=\frac{53\,900}{4} \\\implies x=134\,750.

The company must sell 134,750 units to break even.

20 products = 65 x 20 = $1300

Sales Tax is 3.5% of $1300 = 0.035 x $1300 = $45.50

Grand total = $1300 + $45.50 = $1345.50
