Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reducing unit variable cost will directly reduce the break-even quantity. This can be done through various measures such as negotiating with suppliers for better prices or improving production efficiency to reduce the cost of raw materials and labor. Increasing fixed costs or total costs will only increase the break-even quantity, while increasing quantity sold while keeping price unchanged may not always be feasible or realistic. Reducing marginal revenue is also not a viable option as it will decrease profits and potentially push the break-even quantity even higher.
