Ok the answer is 0% gross margin. Let's try another. If the product costs $1bn in R&D how many units at 0% gross margin do you have to sell to make a profit?

If a company (for example Intel) makes a widget (say lte xmm7360 modem) for $15 and sells it to the customer for $15 what is the gross margin?
