Answer:
1,000 units
Explanation:
The break even point refers to the number of units of a product a company would sell such that the company's sales is equal to the total cost.
The total cost includes the fixed and variable costs. As such, at break even point, net profit is zero.
Let the number of units be G
25G = 10G + $15,000
15G = $15,000
G = 1000 units
The number of units that has to be produced and sold to break even is 1,000 units.
Answer:
The statement has to be classified as very effective or very ineffective.
The correct answer is:
Very ineffective
Explanation:
The word effective means "something that results in the desired effect", therefore, ineffective means the opposite "something that does not result in the disired effect".
In this case, the desired effect is to modify the employee's behaviour. If we as employers drop small hints about what is bothering us, the employee may not be able to understand what we mean, and continue behaving in the same manner.
It is more effective to have clear, straightforward communication in the workplace. If an employee behaviour is bothering us, we should simply communicate it in a direct and respectful manner.
Answer:
The first part of the question is missing:
"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."
To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.
But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.
When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.
