A company produces X, Y and Z from a raw material M. For every 100 tonnes of M put into production it obtains 50 tons of product X, 30 tons of Y and 15 tons of Z, while 5 tons goes as waste. The selling price of X, Y and Z is Rs. 40, Rs. 60 and Rs. 80 per ton. The cost of raw material M is Rs. 20 and variable processing costs are Rs. 10. Variable marketing costs are budgeted to be at the rate of 10 percent of sales value. Budgeted fixed overheads per annum are: Manufacturing - Rs. 40,000, Marketing - Rs. 30,000, and Administration - Rs. 20,000. The company intends to process 10,000 tonnes of material M in the coming year.

First find per tonne fixed and variable costs for x,y,z= total variable costs/5000 for x, total variable costs/3000 for y, total variable costs/1500 units. Apply waste of 50 tonnes 500/3= 167 to x,y,z as variable cost or Eg as per their ratios.( waste per product isn’t not given- bad question)

similarly find fixed cost per unit total fixed costs/number of tonnes

the rest is simple

sales price

- variable cost

= contribution

- fixed costs 

= net profit.

Then Break-Even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin.

the last thing I’m not sure about maximum price per tonne, it could be total costs of x,y,z.
