 Total Variable Costs:

- Total variable costs = Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

 Total Costs:
- Total costs = Total fixed costs + Total variable costs

 Break-Even Point:

 Total Fixed Costs:

- Total fixed costs = (₹200,000 * 60) + ₹2,000,000 = ₹12,000,000 +
₹2,000,000 = ₹14,000,000

 Total Variable Costs:

- Total variable costs = ₹1,080,000

20 | P a g e

- Total costs = ₹14,000,000 + ₹1,080,000 = ₹15,080,000

 Break-Even Point:
- Break-even point (in revenue) = ₹15,080,000

 Break-Even Sales Volume:

- Break-even sales volume (in units) = ₹15,080,000 / ₹150 ≈
100,533.33 units

 Break-Even Sales Revenue:

- Break-even sales revenue = 100,533.33 units * ₹150 ≈
₹15,080,000

 Operating Expenses as a Percentage of Revenue:

- Operating expenses percentage = (₹6,000,000 / ₹13,800,000) *
100% ≈ 43.48%

 Net Profit:
