    To calculate break even point, we need fixed costs. Your question does not give indication of such fixed costs. The formula is:
    Break even point = Fixed costs/Sales - variable costs
    The answer will be in percentage which will be applied to the total revenue to get the BEP

    What is the other revenue? The net profit figure of $100 is without considering the other revenue.

    Assume that the operating costs consist of $400 as fixed costs, BEP will be calculated as follows:
    Fixed costs ----- 400------
    Sales - variable costs 1000 - 200
    BEP %= .50 or 50%
    BEP value 1,000 x 50% or $500
