Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.

Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost

Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.

Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)

If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.

Increased; Decreased

Answer: If i am the general manager of the organization i will try to make a survey about customer relation in other competitive organization before i can conclude whether it is wise to cut down cost through removing giving out free gifts to customers like the free pop corn, coffee etc. Customers will choose other organizations where they can get the same quality service and other benefits especially in a perfectly competitive market.
