The break-even point is the point where the total revenue is equal to the total cost, i.e., where there is no profit or loss.

Let's assume that the number of toys produced per month is x.

Total Cost (TC) = Fixed Cost (FC) + Variable Cost (VC) = Rs. 5000 + (Rs. 20 * x).
Total Revenue (TR) = Selling Price (SP) * Quantity (Q) = Rs. 30 * x.

At the break-even point, TC = TR, therefore:
Rs. 5000 + (Rs. 20 * x) = Rs. 30 * x,
Rs. 5000 = Rs. 10 * x,
x = 5000/10.
