Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.
Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost
Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.
Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)
If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.
Increased; Decreased
