Answer Posted / g.kasi, asst.director

Correct answers are :-
1)pvr=40% 2)profit=4000 3)new bep=8000
4)contribution=8000 5)variable cost=12000

Syed in his calculation, instead of putting contribution ,he used variable cost, hence he calculated variable cost as rs.8ooo, ( variable cost value and contribution value interchanged )
In answer 1 ) bep = f.C / contribution * sales
10000 = 4000 /8000 *20000
10000 = 10000
In answer 2 )new bep = f.C /c * new sales
8000 = 4000 / 8000 * 16000
8000 = 8000
