Question

Marston company sells a single product at a price of Rs.50 per unit, its fixed costs total Rs.15,000 and variable costs amount to Rs. 20 per unit. If management reduces the sales price of this product by Rs. 5 per unit, the sales volume needed for the company to break even will:

The correct answer is

Increase by Rs. 2,000

Step 1 – Original break-even sales: \(Q_0=\frac{15000}{50-20}=500\) units; sales = 500 × ₹50 = ₹25,000.

Step 2 – Revised break-even sales: \(Q_1=\frac{15000}{45-20}=600\) units; sales = 600 × ₹45 = ₹27,000.

Required sales revenue therefore increases by ₹2,000 (the unit volume increases by 100).
