Solution

To calculate the Break-even capacity in percentage, we first need to calculate the Break-even point in terms of sales.

The formula for Break-even point in terms of sales is:

Break-even point (Sales) = Fixed Expenses / P/V Ratio

Given, Fixed Expenses = Rs. 4,00,000 and P/V Ratio = 40% or 0.40

So, Break-even point (Sales) = Rs. 4,00,000 / 0.40 = Rs. 10,00,000

Now, to calculate the Break-even capacity in percentage, we use the formula:

Break-even capacity (%) = (Break-even point (Sales) / Total Sales) * 100%

Given, Total Sales = Rs. 20,00,000

So, Break-even capacity (%) = (Rs. 10,00,000 / Rs. 20,00,000) * 100% = 50%

Therefore, the Break-even capacity in percentage is 50%. So, the answer is .a.50%
