Answer:
D) increase at a faster rate than the costs associated with those sales.
Explanation:
If the break even point was reached during the 20th day of the month, then any revenue generated during the remaining 10-11 days will increase net profits. The amount of net profit increase will be determined by the contribution margin of each service provided. The contribution margin = net sales - variable costs. Since the fixed costs have already been covered, the contribution margin will be equal to the net profit. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000
Explanation:
Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid 
The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.
The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.
So applying this to the question, we have 
Retained earning balance at the end would be:
25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000
Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000
