    I can’t repeat the study notes here, but basically you look for:

    1 Incremental costs
    2 Opportunity costs caused by the decision

    A cost is relevant if it is changed by the decision to invest or manufacture.

    If SP and VC both increase by 25% (I assume your 125% is incorrect or you mean increase TO 125%, contribution will also go up 25% as it is simply the difference between sp and vc.

    So, assume FC = 100,000 and contribution/unit = 8, BEP = 100,000/8 = 12,500

    If contribution goes up 25% it will be 10 and BEP = 10,000

    The decrease in BEP is (12,500 – 10,000)12,500 = 20%
