You are a very small company that sells healthcare insurance plans. You estimate that the breach of your customer database will
liq [111]

Answer:

Spend $25000 on cyber insurance to transfer the risk

Explanation:

A cyber insurance is the best option since it protects the business from internet based risk such as the breach of customer database and other risks involved in the use of the internet by businesses and individual internet users.

The cost of purchasing a Data Loss Prevention solution that would cost $30000 per year will amount to $150000 in 5 years which will be more expensive compared to the cost of the risk it is been used to prevent. hence it is not a good option. also accepting the risk is a very bad option becasue the risk might harm the business beyond expectation.

On a production possibilities curve, where would a society dealing with unemployment be producing?
dezoksy [38]
Unemployment willl cause the production possibilities to shift inwards, so I the answer would be option A.
During massive unemployment period, production possibilities will heavily decrease due to the lower amount of capital and the lower amount of consumers for that potential product (which happen because the consumers lose a lot of its purchasing power). This situation will cause the curve to move inwards.

Eunice buys a worm farm. She plans to sell a small carton of worms to people who want to fish for $3. Her fixed costs are $1,201
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

C. 534  units

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break-even point is shown below:

= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit  

= $3 - $0.75

= $2.25

So, the break-even point would be

= $1,201 ÷ $2.25 per unit

= 534 units

Simply we divide the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit so that the accurate units can come.
