Read the graph: where revenue and costs cross
Each round is a firm with its fixed costs (FC), selling price (P) and the cost of making each unit (VCu). The graph shows revenue and total costs: where they cross is the break-even point.
There are no options: you move the line to where the graph lines cross, sort sales and changes into their boxes or type the result (with a minus sign if there is a loss).
The key sum: each unit leaves a margin of P − VCu, and you must sell FC / (P − VCu) units to cover fixed costs. Below that is a loss; above, profit.
