Correct Answer: 20000
Solution : The correct option is : 20000
Break-even quantity = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
In this case:
Fixed Costs = Rs. 20,000
Selling Price per unit = Rs. 30 per dozen candles = Rs. 30 / 12 = Rs. 2.5 per candle
Variable Cost per unit = Rs. 1.5 per candle
Break-even quantity = 20,000 / (2.5 - 1.5)
Break-even quantity = 20,000 / 1
Break-even quantity = 20,000
