Explanation / Answer

Answer For 15th Question: D

               That is 7% increase in selling price leads to produce the largest increase in the contribution margin per unit. Because if we wants to increase in contribution margin per unit, then it is possible in two ways. One is Increase selling price per unit and another one is decrease in variable cost per unit.

Answer For 16th Question: B

                 The company is able to decrease the variable cost per unit, it leads to increase the contribution margin and as well as decrease the Break-even point.

Answer For 17th Question: A

            If company would decrease the fixed cost, then automatically we can achieve break-even point in early stage, i.e., Break-even point will decrease.

Answer For 18th Question: D

                        Selling price per unit = $50 ($ 1,000,000/20,000 units)

                        Variable cost per unit =$ 15 ($ 300,000/20,000 units)

                Contribution margin per unit= $ 35

Answer For 19th Question: A

Break-even point in unit= fixed cost/contribution per unit

                                    =$260,000/$35

                                    =7428.57 units or approximately 7429 units.
