The Selling price per unit of output is Rs.10. Variable Cost per unit is expected to be Rs.6 per unit while it was only Rs.5 per unit during the previous period. What is the break even volume for the current period if the total fixed costs for the current period is rs.86000?

06 November 2012 FIFO : out of 28000, 6000 units will contribute 30,000, the rest of the fixed cost viz 86,000-30000=56000 is to be recovered at the rate of Rs4 per unit.
So 56000/4=13500......
13500+6000=19500 will be the break even quantity. 19501st unit will start generating marginal profit.
