E. Net income = Gross income – Total cost of production
= (1, 87,200.00- 93,831.25) Tk.
= 93,168.75 Tk.
Benefit cost ratio (BCR) = Gross income/ Total cost of production
= 1, 87,200.00 tk. / 93,831.25 tk.
= 1.99
Cost of production per unit of product (CPUP) = TCP – VB / YP
= 93,831.25 tk. – 7,200.00 tk. / 2400 kg
= 36.10 tk. / kg
