Which of the following statements is true if total fixed costs decrease while the sales price per unit and variable cost per unit remain constant? A. The contribution margin decreases. B. The contribution margin increases. C. The breakeven point increases. D. The breakeven point decreases.

D. The breakeven point decreases.

Explanation:

Breakeven point of a business is defined as the point where it's total cost and total revenues are equal, at this point there is no gain or loss. Hen revenue is above this point profit is made, and when revenue is below this point there is loss.

The formula for break-even is

Breakeven point= Total fixed cost/(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)

Since sales price and variable cost is constant, let's say

(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)= constant (k)

So when we cross-multiply in the formula

Breakeven* k= Total fixed cost

It shows that Breakeven point is directly proportional to Total fixed cost.

So a reduction in Total fixed cost will result in a reduction in Breakeven point.
