Ans. It helps in setting profit goals and sales targets. In a manufacturing environment, it helps in determining the
products that are not contributing to meet the fixed expenses and thus bring up the item for discussion in
management meetings about its continuity. 2
Q. 4. What is sales mix ?
Ans. It is the proportion in which two or more products are sold. 1

Q. 5. Explain the concepts of Cost, Revenue and Break-Even-Point. Also explain how Break-Even point is
calculated. (CBSE 2011 A.I.)
Ans. Cost : The ‘term’ cost refers to the amount of expenditure incurred on, or attributable to a given
thing. Cost determination is an important function of the entrepreneur. The major element of cost
are :
1. Cost of materials.
2. Cost of labour.
3. Cost of overheads and other expenses.
Revenue : Revenue refers to the money receipt of a firm from the sale of its output.
Total revenue, marginal revenue and arrange revenue are of its types. 2
Break Even Point : The business is at break even when its value is equal to its total cost. The break even point
(B.E.P.) is the sales volume at which there is neither profit nor loss. Cost being equal to revenue break even
point is a neutral point . Sales below this point show loss and sales excess of this point show profit. It is the
relationship among cost of production, volume of production, profit & the sales value.
At the BEP, the revenue equals the cost. The formula for computing B.E.P. is simple.
Total revenue (R) = Price (P) × number of units sold (q)
Total cost (C) = Fixed costs (F) + (q × variable cost per unit.)
By definition, BEP R = C or P × q = F + (q × V )
BEP of output =

Fixed Cost ` 1,20,000
Find out :
(a) Variable cost per unit
(b) Total cost
(c) Quantity to be sold at Break-Even Point. (CBSE 2010 Delhi)
Ans. (a) Variable cost per unit = Direct labour cost + Direct material cost + Direct expenses /
No. of units
= ` 40,000 + ` 1,00,000 + ` 20,000 /2,000
= ` 1,60,000/ ` 2,000
= ` 80 per unit
(b) Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
= ` 1,20,000 + ` 1,60,000
= ` 2,80,000
(c)
Sales at BEP =
Fixed cost
Selling price - Variable cost per unit
= `1,20,000 = `1,20,000
`200 - `80 `120
= 1000 units
