Q ltd is currently operating at 80% capacity level. The production under normal capacity level is Rs.1,50,000 units. The variable cost/unit is Rs.14 and the total fixed costs are Rs.8,00,000. If the company wants to earn a profit of Rs.4,00,000, then the price of the product/unit should be?

If the company is working at 80% of normal capacity which is 1,50,000 units, this means company is producing 150000x.8=120000 units. So the contribution required per unit is 1200000/120000=Rs.10/unit. So the selling price should be v.c.+Cont. i.e. Rs.14+10=24.
