7 8. Effect of R&D Cost and Selling Price on Breakeven Point: Two-way Data Table Formulas:
8 R&D Cost B9, B22 and C26. =$B$3/($B$5-$B$4)
9 BE Point: 1000 $200,000 $300,000 $400,000 B9:E11. {=TABLE(B3,B5)}
10 Selling Price $400 1000 1500 2000 Recalculates B9 as
11 $500 666.666667 1000 1333.3333 B3 changes over C9:E9 and
