Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit Here , Break even point is given as 40,000 and fixed cost as 20,000. so putting it in the formula you get, 40,000= 20,000 / Contribution margin per unit. So, contribution margin comes to be 0.5 Now, To calculate the profit, Sales = 100,000 - Variable cost = 50,000( Here variable cost is calculated by subtracting sales - contribution) = Contribution = (0.5*100000) =50,000 - Fixed cost = 20,000 =Profit = 30,000 Ans . So, the profit comes to be Rs 30,000. Now, to calculate the Contribution/ Sales ratio which is the pv ratio 50,000/100,000 = C/S 1/2 or 0.5 Ans
