Correct Answer: 20,000
Solution : The correct option is 20,000 .
The Break-even quantity is the level of production at which total cost equals total revenue. It can be calculated by using the following formula:
In this case:
Fixed Cost = Rs. 20,000 Selling Price per dozen candles = Rs. 30 Variable Cost per candle = Rs. 1.50
First, let's convert the selling price per dozen candles to the price per candle:
Selling Price per candle = Rs. 30/12 candles = Rs. 2.50 per candle
Break-even quantity = 20,000/(2.50 - 1.50)
Break-even quantity = 20,000/1
Break-even quantity = 20,000
