BEP = Fixed cost / contribution p.u × sales p.u . In this ques, it given that premium is payable for ovetime for above 500 units. Contribution will be change 1 to 500 and above 500 . But as per formula they find it. At BEP, Contribution = Fixed cost. So at 500u Contribution is only 15,000 and balance 1800 is from 72 units.
