Answer:
C)some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.
Explanation:
Usually, the fixed cost are usually fixed for a some levels of activity. However, as the level of activities increases, the fixed cost may also increase.
Variable cost on the other hand changes directly as the level of activities (say number of units produced) changes.
As such, in the short run, some inputs are fixed and some inputs are variable.
Option C is right.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act was a federal law that was established by congress to sweep auditing and financial statements for public companies. The main aim for this was to improve the investor confidence by improving reliability in accounting statements. Errors in the financial statements for the public companies were to be minimized following this law especially in the wake of numerous cases of corporate crime. This law was never passed to ensure that investors only invest in companies that will be profitable, since the choice of which company to invest in is exclusively left to the investor. So the above statement is false.

Ethics can be defined as a set of rules and regulation that govern the moral behavior of someone. Ethical standards vary from one region to another since they are majorly cultural, for example; a behavior in the United States can be considered as appropriate while the same behavior in a different place can be inappropriate. Ethical standards are either right or wrong, and the actions are judged on these terms. Ethics don't measure whether a actions are loyal or disloyal, thus the statement is false.
3.
The primary accounting standard setting body in the United States is Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This body is charged with regulating and setting the best standard of accounting practice. The FASB usually constitutes a board whose officials are rigorously assessed. The board members have to be professionals in the field of accounting. Securities and Exchange Commission on the other hand is an independent federal agency with the authority to enforce federal security laws. Thus the statement above is false.

The historical cost principle suggests that the companies record assets cost at their original cost and continue to report them at their original cost over the time the asset is held.

The statement about monetary units in the question above is thus true.
A) it is more accurate than accrual accounting.
Answer:
d. Selling Price
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
