We are given profit function of a firm and asked to find break even point for the firm and values of output for which firm incurs loss
Part (a)
We are asked quantity that must be sold to break even, that is the point where profits are 0 (costs are equal to revenue)
It is mentioned that firm can produce only 10,000 thousand or fewer, that is output q cannot be greater than 10
Hence firm must produce and sell 3200 (3.2*1000) items to break even
Part (b)
We are asked to find the quantity for which firms incurs loss and profits
