solution:

Step 1 – Calculate P/V Ratio

P/V Ratio = (Sales − Variable Cost) / Sales × 100 = (4,00,000 − 2,00,000) / 4,00,000 × 100 = 50%

Step 2 – Calculate BEP of Sales

BEP (Sales Value) = Fixed Cost / P/V Ratio = 1,80,000 / 0.50 = Rs. 3,60,000


The Break Even Point is Rs. 3,60,000, meaning the business must achieve sales of Rs. 3,60,000 to cover all its costs with zero profit or loss.
