PV Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost) / Sales

0.25 = (Sales - 300) / Sales

0.25 Sales = Sales - 300

Sales - 0.25 Sales = 300

0.75 Sales = 300

Sales = Rs. 400. 

Therefore, if a company proposes to introduce a new product in the market. The company wants to maintain P/V Ratio at 25%. If the variable cost of the product is Rs. 300, the selling price will be Rs. 400.
