Question 19:

(a) A company produces a commodity with ₹ 24,000 as fixed cost. The variable cost, estimated to be 25% of the total revenue received on selling the product, is at the rate of ₹ 8 per unit. Find the break-even point.

Answer: (a) Given fixed cost = Rs 24000

Let number of units be: x

Selling price per unit p(x) = Rs.8

∴ Revenue function R(x) = 8x

Cost function = C (x) = 24000 + 25% of 8x

= 24000 + 2x

For break even points: R(x) = C(x)

8x = 24000 + 2x

6x = 24000

x = 4000 units
