In cost accounting, if the 'Margin of Safety' is 20% of actual sales, and the actual sales are ₹5,00,000, what is the break-even sales?
A. ₹1,00,000
B. ₹5,00,000
C. ₹3,00,000
D. ₹4,00,000
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - BEP Sales. 20% of 5,00,000 = 1,00,000. Therefore, BEP Sales = Actual Sales - MOS = 5,00,000 - 1,00,000 = ₹4,00,000.
