Explanation:
Break even point is calculated as 
Thus, break even point in units only in two cases,
- Fixed cost is reduced that is decreased,
- Contribution per unit is increased.
Now, here the options are
a. Increase in units sales volume is of no relevance as will not impact the fixed cost or contribution per unit.
b. Increase in fixed cost will result in higher break even point, as numerator in the fraction will increase.
c. Increase in unit variable cost will ultimately decrease the contribution thus, it is of no relevance.
d. Increase in selling price will increase the contribution per unit, that is the increase in denominator value in fraction, thus, break even units will decrease.
Correct option is
d. Selling Price
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": develop a business plan.
Explanation:
Entrepreneurs who lack funds to start their ventures should develop a business plan so it can be presented to prospective investors who will decide if the venture is of their interest or not. The business plan should include the mission and vision of the business as well as a <em>SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis</em> explaining how the business will mitigate its risks and maximize its benefits.
The business plan should be innovative in Peppy's case since pizzerias are very common, thus, Pepe's Pizzazzeria must have a clear competitive advantage to face competitors.
