Answer:

393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Explanation:

Break even point is the point where a Company makes neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Step 1 : Calculate new variables

New Sales = $250 x 1.40 = $350

Variable Costs = $250 x 30 % = $75

New Fixed Costs = $120,000 x 90 % = $108,000

Step 2 : Break even (units)

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $108,000 ÷ ($350 - $75)

= 393 units

Thus, 393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Which of the following is a result of over-diversification through acquisition? Select one:

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

3) Corporations use acquisition as a substitute for innovation.

Explanation:

The fastest way in which a corporation can enter a new market or develop new products is through buying existing companies that already operate in the new target markets or have developed the new products that the corporation wishes to sell.

Research and development is very costly and time consuming, and on many occasions the results aren't even good or are not as good as expected. By acquiring a smaller company that has already developed the product, then the corporation might even save money.

Answer: a. Boot camp is the military's version of employee orientation.

Explanation:

To become an employee in a company, it is standard practice for the employer to give the employee an orientation so that they may be able to perform better at their jobs because they would know what is expected of them and how to go about achieving this.

This is the same for the military. When they send recruits to boot camps, they are doing their version of employee orientation because the recruit will learn what Uncle Sam expects from them and how they are to accomplish these tasks.
