Default Break Even Point

Hello,

Is there a formula to calculate a break even point? Scenario: Rate ranges
are 500 lbs at $10, 1000 lbs @ $5, 2000 lbs @ $2.5, etc. Eg: Shipper has
load that weighs 990 lbs. What is the break even point to move the load
forward into the next cheaper range.

Hope that makes sense.

Any help appreciated.

Default Break Even Point

"Break even" generally implies two opposing trends. Where they meet is the
'break even' point. You have supplied only one 'trend'. Can you expand on
the problem?

Default Break Even Point

Unfortunately, the only info I will ever have for this is the actual weight,
the ranges and the amount to charge for each range. Any suggestions?
