I thought it would just stay the same, interesting!

Yup, higher fixed costs mean more sales needed to break even.

Wait, are you sure it moves to the right?

Totally agree, fixed costs affect the break-even point!
WI

It will move to the right.
ME

I believe the correct answer is D, moving to the right. Higher fixed costs mean we need more revenue to break even, right?

I’m a bit confused. Does increasing fixed costs mean we need to sell more to cover them? I feel like it should move left, but that doesn’t seem right.

I remember practicing a similar question where increasing fixed costs definitely shifted the PV line. I think it moves to the right.
JA

I think if fixed costs go up, the break-even point moves to the right, but I'm not entirely sure.
JE

I'm pretty confident on this one. Increasing fixed costs means the line on the PV graph will shift down, and the point where it crosses the horizontal axis will move to the left.
KE

The answer has to be B - if fixed costs go up, the line on the PV graph will shift to the left, so the point where it crosses the horizontal axis will move to the left.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Let me re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.
AN
Andree

Okay, I think I know this one. If fixed costs increase, the line on the PV graph will shift to the left, so the point where it crosses the horizontal axis will move to the left as well.
CA

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the relationship between fixed costs and the profit/volume graph.
YO
Yolande

Wait, I'm confused. Wouldn't an increase in fixed costs just make the line go up, not shift left or right? I'm not sure about this one.
AL
Alishia

Okay, I've got this. If fixed costs increase, the line on the PV graph will shift to the left, since the break-even point will occur at a higher volume. The answer must be B.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know fixed costs are important, but I'm not totally clear on how they impact the PV graph. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question about how changes in fixed costs affect the profit/volume graph. I think I can work through this step-by-step.

This looks like a straightforward question about the contents of an HBase HFile. I'm pretty confident I can get this one right.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure which hook point to choose. Maybe I should review the Alfresco Process Services documentation again to make sure I understand the different configuration options.

Definitely not option E, that's way too confrontational. I think A is the best approach - talk to Johnny privately, make it clear the behavior is unacceptable, and give him a chance to improve before taking further action.
VI

I think D is the right approach - start broad and then zero in on specifics. That seems most logical for an interview.

I bet the person who wrote this question was trying to trick us. They're probably sitting back and laughing maniacally right now.

A? Really? Doubling the fixed costs? That's just crazy talk. I'm sticking with B.
PO
Pok

C seems right to me. The fixed costs don't affect the break-even point, so it should stay the same.
JE
Jenifer

Yes, fixed costs are not considered when determining the break-even point on a profit/volume graph.
AR
Arlean

That makes sense, fixed costs are not factored into the break-even analysis.
HI
Hillary

I think you're right, C is the correct answer. Fixed costs don't impact the break-even point.
WI
Winfred

I'm going with D. The higher fixed costs will cause the line to shift downward, so the point where it intersects the horizontal axis will move to the right.
OC
Octavio

So, the point where it intersects the horizontal axis will move to the right.
GR
Grover

I agree, higher fixed costs will shift the line downward.
WY
Wynell

I think it will move to the right.
AN
Anjelica

Hmm, I think the answer is B. If the fixed costs increase, the break-even point will shift to the left, requiring more units to be sold to cover those higher fixed costs.
BR
Brock
1 year ago
Yes, that's correct. It will require more units to be sold to cover the higher fixed costs.
HA
Halina

I agree, the break-even point will definitely move to the left if fixed costs increase.
TA
Tasia

But if fixed costs increase, wouldn't that shift the break-even point to the right on the graph?
BR
Brittani

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Move to the right.
TA
Tasia

I think the answer is C) Stay the same.
