4.1 Define the term break-even in the given context. 4.4.2 Name the type of cost that R6 000 represents. 4.4.3 Determine how many packs Thandi must sell to break-even.

Here's the continuation of your previous question:

1.2.3 (continued)
Since the number of teachers must be a whole number, we round $157\,117.76$ to the nearest whole number.

$$\text{Number of male teachers} \approx 157\,118$$

The number of male teachers is approximately $157\,118$.

$$\boxed{\text{157 118}}$$

4.4.1
Break-even in this context refers to the point where the total revenue generated from selling packs equals the total costs incurred (fixed costs plus variable costs). At this point, Thandi is neither making a profit nor incurring a loss.

$$\boxed{\text{The point where total revenue equals total costs, resulting in no profit or loss.}}$$

4.4.2
Based on typical business scenarios for break-even analysis, R6 000 most likely represents the fixed costs. Fixed costs are expenses that do not change regardless of the number of packs sold, such as rent or salaries.

$$\boxed{\text{Fixed costs}}$$

4.4.3
To determine how many packs Thandi must sell to break-even, we need the following information, which is not provided in the image:

• The selling price per pack.
• The variable cost per pack (cost directly associated with producing one pack).

Without these values, we cannot calculate the exact number of packs. The formula for the break-even point in units is:

$$\text{Break-even Point (units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Selling Price per Unit} - \text{Variable Cost per Unit}}$$

Assuming R6 000 are the fixed costs, we still need the selling price per pack and the variable cost per pack.
