Variable cost per unit = Total Production/Variable cost. Total Production =

52,500(1st 6 months) + 1,05,000(after 6 months) = 1,57,500 units. Therefore, variable cost per unit = 1,57,500/63,000 = Rs. 2.5

Selling price per unit = Rs. 5.25 Contribution per unit =

S.P. per unit Variable cost per unit = 5.25 2.5 = Rs. 2.75

B.E.P.
B.E.P. = Fixed cost/contribution per unit

= 5,65,394 / 2.75 = 2,05,598 units

R.O.I.
Total profit = Total Revenue Total Expenses

= 8,26,875 6,28,394 = Rs. 1,98,481

Therefore ROI = Profit/Total Expenses

= 1,98,481/6,28,394 = 32%
