Answer:

The main determinant is the NET IMPORT, if the net import is higher than the net export then countries like the United States of America will have a low standard of living,while if the net export is higher than the net import then Countries like the United States of America will enjoy a high standard of living.

COMPARED TO NET EXPORTS, COUNTRIES LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE A LOWER NET IMPORT WHICH GIVES THEM A POSITIVE BALANCE OF TRADE.

Explanation: THE VOLUME OF IMPORT IS NOT THE MAIN CONCERN, THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE VOLUME OF NET IMPORT COMPARED TO THE VOLUME OF NET EXPORT COUNTRIES LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE A HIGHER NET EXPORT THAN NET IMPORT WHICH GIVES THEM TRADE ADVANTAGE AND A POSITIVE BALANCE OF TRADE. With a good balance of trade a country like the United States of America will maintain and enjoy a high standard of living as the volume of imports is always lower than the value of what is exported.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

781 units

Explanation:

Under the CVP concept, the break-even point is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit.

i.e., break-even point = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

Currently, fixed costs are $213,000, an increase of 10% will take to

=(10/100 x $213,000) + $213,000

=$21,300 + 213,000

=$234, 300

The selling price is $250, an increase of 40%

=$250 x 1.4

=$350

variable cost will remain the same this year and the following year

Current variable  costs are 20% of sales

=20/100 x 250

=0.2 x 250

=$50

Contribution margin will be new selling price - variable costs

=$350-50

=$300

Break-eve point = $234, 300/300

=781 units
