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)
=
