Rs. 1,00,000.<\/p>\n<p>The margin of safety is the amount of sales that a company can lose before it starts to incur a loss. It is calculated by subtracting the break-even point from the sales. The break-even point is the point at which a company&#8217;s revenue equals its costs.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the margin of safety is Rs. 80,000. This means that the company can lose Rs. 80,000 in sales before it starts to incur a loss. The profit is Rs. 20,000. This means that the company is making a profit of Rs. 20,000 on every Rs. 3,00,000 in sales.<\/p>\n<p>To calculate the fixed cost, we can use the following formula:<\/p>\n<p>Fixed cost = (Sales &#8211; Variable cost &#8211; Profit) \/ Margin of safety<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the fixed cost is:<\/p>\n<p>Fixed cost = (3,00,000 &#8211; 20,000 &#8211; 80,000) \/ 80,000 = Rs. 1,00,000<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the amount of fixed cost is Rs. 1,00,000.<\/p>\n<p>Option B is incorrect because the fixed cost cannot be less than the profit.<\/p>\n<p>Option C is incorrect because the fixed cost cannot be less than the variable cost.<\/p>\n<p>Option D is incorrect because the fixed cost cannot be less than the break-even point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Rs. 1,00,000&#8243;
