    o calculate the Break Even Point (BEP) in terms of sales, we use the formula:

    BEP (Sales)
    =
    Fixed Costs
    Contribution Margin Ratio
    BEP (Sales)=
    Contribution Margin Ratio
    Fixed Costs


    Step 1: Calculate the Contribution Margin
    The Contribution Margin (CM) is given by:

    CM
    =
    Sales

    Variable Costs
    CM=Sales−Variable Costs
    CM
    =

    CM=4,00,000−2,00,000=2,00,000
    Step 2: Calculate the Contribution Margin Ratio
    The Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR) is given by:

    CMR
    =
    Contribution Margin
    Sales
    CMR=
    Sales
    Contribution Margin


    ext{CMR} = rac{2,00,000}{4,00,000} = 0.50 , ext{(or 50%)}
    Step 3: Calculate BEP (Sales)
    Now, calculate BEP (Sales) using the formula:

    BEP (Sales)
    =
    Fixed Costs
    CMR
    BEP (Sales)=
    CMR
    Fixed Costs


    BEP (Sales)
    =

    BEP (Sales)=
    0.50
    1,80,000

    =3,60,000
    The BEP for this example is not matching the provided options. Could you clarify the data or the problem further?
