Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $120,000 to $150,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $70 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $400,000 and current break-even units are 4,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised contribution margin ratio would be: Multiple Choice 30%. 60%. 40%. 10%. 70%.

In an attempt to increase revenues and profits, a firm is considering a 4 percent increase in price and an 11 percent increase in advertising. If the price elasticity of demand is -1.5 and the advertising elasticity of demand is +0.6, would you expect an increase or decrease in total revenues?

Once the break-even point is reached: the contribution margin ratio begins to decrease. the total contribution margin changes from negative to positive. net operating income will increase by the unit contribution margin for each additional item sold. variable expenses will remain constant in total.
