Sir when I am solving questions and it requires to divide two values like I am finding contribution sales ratio value and by dividing dollar 20 by 30 it's 0.66666667 and if I put only 0.667 in the formula of break even revenue which is fixed cost divided by c/s ratio the value which comes when I solve question is different from value on kit just because they used value of c/s ratio 0.66667 sir I am confused about how much value in decimal places should I use in calculation everytime in kit there are different values of different decimal places used

I am afraid that there is no rule on this and it depends on the question. As far as this question is concerned, breakeven analysis was removed from the Paper MA syllabus many years ago. It is now not asked until Paper PM.

I have no idea which Study Text you are using (and which date). What I wrote before is still correct.
