  • Q2

    Brand reputation

    It remains the same
    It increases
    It decreases
    It becomes negative
    30s
  • Q4

    Break-even point = Variable Costs / Selling Price per Unit

    It will increase
    It will remain the same
    It will become impossible to determine
    It will decrease

  • Q6
    Which of the following would likely lead to a lower break-even point?

    The break-even point guarantees a profit
    Above the break-even point, fixed costs increase
    30s
  • Q10
    How can a business calculate its break-even point in sales dollars?
    Break-even sales = Total Costs / Average Sales Price
    Break-even sales = (Selling Price - Fixed Costs) / Variable Costs
    Break-even sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio
    Break-even sales = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs
    30s
  • Q11
    In break-even analysis, what does the break-even point represent?
    The point at which variable costs exceed total revenue
    The point at which total revenue is less than total costs
    The point at which total revenue equals total costs
    The point at which fixed costs are recovered

  • Q12
    Which formula can be used to calculate the break-even point in units?
    Fixed ext{ }Costs + Variable ext{ }Costs
    Fixed ext{ }Costs imes Selling ext{ }Price ext{ }per ext{ }Unit
    Variable ext{ }Costs - Selling ext{ }Price ext{ }per ext{ }Unit
    rac{Fixed ext{ }Costs}{Selling ext{ }Price ext{ }per ext{ }Unit - Variable ext{ }Cost ext{ }per ext{ }Unit}

  • Q13
    What type of costs remain constant regardless of the level of production or sales?
    Total costs
    Marginal costs
    Fixed costs
    Variable costs
    30s
  • Q14
    What effect does an increase in variable costs have on the break-even point?
    It makes the break-even point dependent on fixed costs only
    It has no effect on the break-even point
    It decreases the break-even point
    It increases the break-even point
    30s
  • Q15
    How can a business reduce its break-even point?
    By increasing selling prices only
    By decreasing fixed costs or variable costs
