If the break even quantity for a factory whose variable cost of manufacturing a tubelight is Rs 35 per unit and selling price is Rs 50 per unit is 600 units, find the fixed cost of the factory?

  1. A
    Rs 30000
  2. B
    Rs 21000
  3. C
    Rs 51000
  4. D
    Rs 9000

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The formula for Break-Even Quantity (BEQ) is given by:
Break-Even Quantity=
Selling Price per unit−Variable Cost per unit
Fixed Cost


Given data:

Break-Even Quantity = 600units

Selling Price per unit = Rs 50

Variable Cost per unit = Rs 35

Let the Fixed Cost be F. Substituting the given values:

600=
50−35
F


600=
15
F


F=600×15=9000
Thus, the Fixed Cost of the factory is Rs 9000.
