I am having a difficult time modifying the break-even formula to fit what I need to do. Here is my situation:
I am trying to find the break even point for a delivery company. The company delivers goods from a number of stores in the area. The delivery fee charged is $1 for each store the driver must pick up goods from. Orders come in via the delivery company's website and the company that owns the software the website uses gets $.75 for each order. So basically, if an order comes in for the delivery of goods from only one store, we get $0.25 of that order. However, if an order comes in for goods from 2 stores, we get $1.25. I need to figure out how many delivery fees are needed to break even. The more I think about it the harder is seems. Is it even possible? A formula to get to a rough estimate would be sufficient.
