Break-even revenue equals fixed costs divided by contribution margin ratio, which equals contribution margin divided by total revenue. The contribution margin is equal to the difference between revenue and variable costs. Fixed costs include rent, insurance, administrative salaries, maintenance and property taxes. A small business would incur some fixed costs even if it doesn't have any revenue.
Subtract the variable cost per unit of $15 from the $40 price, leaving $25. Divide fixed costs by $25 and you have a breakeven sales volume of 28,000 units.
