BVM manufactured and sold 25,000 small statues this past year. At that volume, the firm was exactly in a breakeven situation in terms of profitability. BVM’s unit costs are expected to increase by 30% next year. What additional information is needed to determine how much the production volume/sales would have to increase next year to just break even in terms of profitability? (a) Costs per unit (b) Sales price per unit and costs per unit (c) Total fixed costs, sales price per unit, and costs per unit (d) No data is needed, the volume increase is 25, 000 + 25, 000(0.30) = 32, 500 units.

A. An NGO is considering building a school for children in a community with 200 children. Assume that currently, only 83 children attend school. Analysts have estimated that the new school will double school attendance to 166 children. Also, assume that the present social value of each child attending school is $2,000.
