Ans:
The Breakeven point is (c) ie$ 729027
Sales= 1500000*110%= (A) $1650000
Less : Variable overhead (B)
Diirect Material $250000*112% =$280000
Direct Labour $150000*112%= $168000
Variable overhead $75000*112%= $84000
Variable Selling & admin. Exp $200000*112%=$224000
Total Variable Overhead =756000
Contribution(c)=A-B =894000
PV Ratio= Contribution/Sales*100
= 894000/1650000*100
=54.181818181
Break even point sales= Fixed cost / P/v Ratio
=395000/54.181818181*100
