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 Rs. 300, then 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 selling price to variable cost. It is a measure of a company’s profitability. A higher P/V ratio indicates that a company is more profitable, as it is able to generate more revenue from each unit of product sold.

In this case, the company wants to maintain a P/V ratio of 25%. This means that the selling price of the product should be 25% higher than the variable cost. The variable cost is given as Rs. 300, so the selling price should be Rs. 300 x 125/100 = Rs. 400.

Option A is incorrect because it is the variable cost, not the selling price. Option B is incorrect because it is half of the variable cost. Option C is incorrect because it is equal to the variable cost.
