    C ₹7,20,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹7,60,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    At 60% capacity: Variable cost = ₹6,00,000 – ₹2,40,000 = ₹3,60,000 Variable cost per % = ₹3,60,000 / 60 = ₹6,000 At 80%: Variable cost = 80 × ₹6,000 = ₹4,80,000 Total cost = Fixed (₹2,40,000) + Variable (₹4,80,000) = ₹7,20,000
