22 December 2009 Total Contribution required = Rs.400000+ Rs.800000 is Rs.1200000

so contribution per unit = 1200000/1500000 = Rs.8

So variable cost Rs.14 per unit + Contribution Rs.8 Perunit

Sales price for Earing Profit Rs.400000/- is (14+8) =22

So Answer is Rs.22 per unit sales price

23 December 2009 Thank you sir. But they have given options like 37.50, 24.00, 38.25, and 34.50. What is it? Can there be any other method Sir?

24 December 2009 If the company is working at 80% of normal capacity which is 1,50,000 units, this means company is producing 150000x.8=120000 units. So the contribution required per unit is 1200000/120000=Rs.10/unit. So the selling price should be v.c.+Cont. i.e. Rs.14+10=24.
