Question:

A company has a fixed cost of ₹40,000. Arrange the break even points of the following four cases in the ascending order.

(A) Cost of production of one item is ₹30 and it sells at ₹50

(B) Cost of production of one item is ₹40 and it sells at ₹50

(C) Cost of production of one item is ₹50 and it sells at ₹55

(D) Cost of production of one item is ₹20 and it sells at ₹60

Options:

(D) < (A) < (C) < (B)

(D) < (A) < (B) < (C)

(B) < (C) < (D) < (A)

(D) < (C) < (B) < (A)

Correct Answer:

(D) < (A) < (B) < (C)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (D) < (A) < (B) < (C)

$BEP = \frac{fixex\,cost}{selling\,price\,per\,unit-Cost\,price\,per\,unit}$

(A) $BEP=\frac{40000}{50-30}=\frac{40000}{20}=2000$

(C) $BEP=\frac{40000}{55-50}=8000$

(D) $BEP=\frac{40000}{60-20}=1000$

(B) $BEP=\frac{40000}{50-40}=4000$

$∴(D) < (A) < (B) < (C)$
