Answer:

The correct option is D,cannot be determined from the data provided

Explanation:

Break-even points in units=fixed costs/contribution margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit =selling price -variable cost

In other words, from the scenario, it is clear that the numerator fixed costs has increased and also a reduction in variable cost per unit implies an increase in contribution margin per unit since a lesser variable cost is being deducted from selling price.

The impact of both increases in fixed costs and contribution margin cannot be determined except if more details is provided which will give further guidance regarding which of the two increased at a higher rate compared to the other.

Answer:

The role of project managers is vital for the succcess or failure of project.

Explanation:

The success of projects concentrates on developing key business metrics. However, sometimes development programs are still unsuccessful. There are a number of reasons why these initiatives fail such as lack of funding, weak measurements, lack of coordination among team members, and decisions based on speculations instead of evidence and facts. Such types of issues make it much more difficult for project managers to establish credibility for future projects. Ultimately, the accomplishment or effectiveness of the strategy concentrates entirely on the shoulders of the project manager, and he or she is held responsible for the final outcome.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The amount that Lena will invest in fund B would be $4000.

Explanation:

Given information -

Amount invested in fund A - $6000

Return earned on fund A - 6%

Let us assume amount invested in fund B be x

Return earned on fund B - 1%

Return on both funds together - 4%

Let us assume the total amount of fund invested be ($6000 + x)

Now using simple equation , we will take out the value of x which is the amount invested in fund B -

$6000 X 6% + x X 1% = 4% ( $6000 + x )

= $360 + .01 x = $240 + .04 x

= $360 - $240 = .04 x - .01 x

$120 = .03 x

x = $120 / .03

= $4000.
