A company proposes to introduce a new product in the market. The company wants to maintain P/V Ratio at 25%. If variable cost of the product is 300, what will be the selling price?

Rs. 100
Rs. 200
Rs. 300
Rs. 400

The correct answer is D. Rs. 400.

The P/V ratio is the ratio of a product’s selling price to its variable cost. It is a measure of a product’s profitability. A P/V ratio of 25% means that for every Rs. 100 in sales, the company makes a profit of Rs. 25.

To calculate the selling price, we need to know the variable cost and the desired P/V ratio. The variable cost is given as Rs. 300. The desired P/V ratio is 25%.

The selling price is calculated as follows:

Selling price = Variable cost / (1 – P/V ratio)

Selling price = 300 / (1 – 0.25)

Selling price = 300 / 0.75

Selling price = 400

Therefore, the selling price of the product is Rs. 400.

Option A is incorrect because it is the variable cost. Option B is incorrect because it is half of the variable cost. Option C is incorrect because it is equal to the variable cost. Option D is correct because it is the selling price calculated using the P/V ratio.
