If instead that firm's variable cost rises to 35, its break-even quantity becomes

  • A.20 000 units
  • B.15 000 units
  • C.17 143 units
  • D.8571 units

Answer: A

Correct answer: 20 000 units

The contribution falls to \( 50 - 35 = 15 \), so

\[ Q_{BE} = \frac{300\,000}{15} = 20\,000 \ \text{units} \]

A five rupee rise in variable cost has done exactly as much damage as a 100,000 rise in fixed cost did in the previous item - a useful comparison, since the variable cost change looks much the smaller of the two on the face of it.
