Executive Summary
Solar-Powered Tent is a project of Solary Energy, that is big need of current era in Pakistan due to
shortage of electricity. We are think innovative product solar-Powered tent with Wifi conection of evo
and lighting and charged through sun energy.
This project is provide a best journey product for tourist of Historical places. That is creat a concience of
jurney and provide a opportunity of relaxtion on any place with solar-Powered Tent.
So, we can say that SolaPowered make a journey is easy for Tourest.

The purpose and scope of this information memorandum is to introduce the subject
matter and provide a general idea and information on the Solar-Powered Tent. All the
material included in this document is based on data/information gathered from various
sources and is based on certain assumptions. Although, due care and diligence has been
taken to compile this document, the contained information may vary due to any change in
any of the concerned factors, and the actual results may differ substantially from the
presented information.

The Concept Tent (also known as the kaleidoscope or solar powered tents) was thought up
because of festivals and the fact that partygoers always need to keep in touch with mates while
they’re camping and roaming around the festival site.
The resulting concept makes for a seriously cool tent with some awesome camping gadgets, which
could help inspire a carefree nomadic lifestyle in full-on glam camping style!
Kaleidoscope and Orange Communication designed it in partnership to celebrate Glastonbury
Festival. For us the best bit about it is the revolutionary new way it collects direct sunlight, and
what this design might mean for luxe glamping and eco camping in the future… particularly if you
want to have a nomadic lifestyle. So if you’re wondering, “when’s this solar tent for sale?” well
we’ve got news for you there too.
Control Centre
The control hub also has a wireless charging pouch which powers mobile phones and other portable
devices without the need for messy wires and multiple chargers. The ‘magnetic induction’ technology
passes an electric current through a coil embedded in the charging pouch and this in turn generates a
magnetic field which creates a charge and powers the battery. For non-tecky people like us out there…
this means it’s one extremely clever solar tent!

Why Solar-Powered Tent?
The Concept Tent (also
known as the solar powered tent) was thought up because of demand by nomads,
recreational campers, and disaster victims.
Tents are typically used
as overhead shelter for festivals, weddings, backyard parties, and major corporate
events and the fact that all tent users need to keep in touch with their families,
friends and colleagues while they’re for example, camping and roaming around the
festival site.

A point where demand and suuply of our pruduct are equal, it is equilibirum of our
product where we produce maximum units for meet the supply.
(ii) Cost & Revenue Break Even Point:
The formula approach to break-even analysis uses an algebraic equation to calculate the
BEP. In this analysis, sales volume, rather than production activity, is the focus of the relevant
range. Th e equation represents the variable costing income statement and shows the
relationships among revenue, fi xed cost, variable cost, volume, and profi t as follows:
R(X) = VC(X) FC P
where R = revenue (selling price) per unit
X = volume (number of units)
R(X) = total revenue
VC = variable cost per unit
VC(X) = total variable cost
FC = total fixed cost
P = total profit
41. 41 | P a g e
It Is estimated cost of "Solar Power Tent"
Solar Power Tent Revenue per unit (R) = 40000 PKR/-
X = Volume number of units = 1000 Solar Power Tent
T(X) = Total Revenue = 40000000 PKR/-
VC = variable cost per unit = 10000 PKR/-
VC(X) = total variable cost = 1,000,0000 PKR/-
FC = total fixed cost = 25,000,000 PKR/-
P = total profit =5,000,000 PKR/-

Total Cost Per%
Sales ( 1000 Units) 40,000 40,000,000 100%
Variable Cost 10,000 10,000,000 30%
Contribution Margin 30,000 30,000,000 70%
Fixed cost 25,000,000
Net profit 5,000 15,000,000
Breakeven Sales Units Are:
Break-even volume equals total fixed cost divided by contribution margin per unit
(revenue per unit minus the variable cost per unit). Using the information in Table for Backpack
Company (Rs.40,000 selling price per Tent, Rs.10,000 variable cost per Tent, and Rs.25000,000
of total fixed cost), the BEP for the company is calculated as
Break Even Point ( Unit ) = 15,000,000 / 30,000
Break Even Point (Unit) = 5, 00 Units (Solar Power Tent)
Breakeven Sales Rs. Are:
Another method of computing BEP in sales dollars requires the computation of a contribution margin
ratio (CM%), which is calculated as contribution margin divided by revenue. Th is ratio indicates what
proportion of revenue remains after variable cost has been deducted from sales or that portion of the
revenue PKR that can be used to cover fi xed cost and provide profi t. Th e CM% can be calculated
using either per-unit, or total, revenue and variable cost information. Dividing total fi xed cost by the
CM% gives the BEP in sales PKR.
Break Even Point ( Sales ) = 30,000,000 / 0.75
Break Even Point (Sales) = 40, 00,000 PKR/-

The graphing approach to breakeven provides a detailed visual display of the
BEP. It does not, however, provide a precise solution because exact points cannot
be determined on a graph. A defi nitive computation of the BEP can be found
algebraically using the formula approach or a computer software application. A
third approach to illustrating breakeven is the income statement approach.
