It costs *,000,000 to construct a factory that builds alarm clocks. Each alarm clock requires *.25 in materials to create. The clocks sell to stores for *5.75. Each clock is immediately sold to a store after it is constructed. The company can create 3,000 clocks per day. How long will it take for the company to break even?

does the $4.25 include labor, benefits, energy and other utilities? snow removal, landscaping, community involvement, public relations, advertising? i imagine it would take a bit longer than 30 days.

I had math classes in college and had to do math type problems for pharmacology in vet tech school but it's been awhile. And my math skills are not that great after being confused by the whole "new math" thing in elementary school.

In my undergrad as an engineering major, I was required to take X hours of liberal arts and humanities courses.
Non-engineering or science types were not required to take any math or science courses.
