What is your Calculation Steps and Answer.
Which part is not clarified.
@ shilpa madam
solution
suppose sales =100 units @ 1 each....................100
(-)contribution (40% of sales................................40
------------------------------------------------
variable cost..................1....................................60
when selling price is reduced by 20%
new sales 80
(-)variable cost 60
----------------------------
new contribution 20
In order to maintain same level of contribution volume of sales should be (40/20*80)=160..........(step 1)

Dear Shilpa Maam,
I have a question w.r.t to the above question aswel.
How can the Variable cost be same i.e (Rs. 60). Why not Revised Selling Price * 60% (100% - 40%) - So the revised Variable cost would be Rs.48 (80*60%).
Regards,
Arihant
