PQR Ltd. manufactures a single product which it sells for ₹40 per unit. Fixed cost is ₹60,000 per year. Contribution to sales ratio is 40%. PQR Ltd.'s Break Even Point in units is:

A. 3500
B. 3700
C. 3750
D. 4000

Answer :

To find the Break Even Point (BEP) in units, we need to use the formula for break even in units, which is given by:

[tex]\text{BEP (units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Contribution per Unit}}[/tex]

Given data:

  • Selling Price per Unit (SP) = ₹40
  • Fixed Costs = ₹60,000
  • Contribution to Sales Ratio = 40%

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Calculate Contribution per Unit:

The contribution per unit is the amount derived after subtracting variable costs from the selling price, specifically:

[tex]\text{Contribution per Unit} = \text{Contribution to Sales Ratio} \times \text{Selling Price per Unit}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Contribution per Unit} = 0.40 \times 40 = ₹16[/tex]

2. Calculate the Break Even Point in units:

Using the BEP formula:

[tex]\text{BEP (units)} = \frac{60,000}{16} = 3750[/tex]

Therefore, the Break Even Point in units is 3750.

Thus, the correct answer is C. 3750.
