e. Productivity is constant.

9. A Company's cash flow break-even point would normally be

a. below the Company's conventional linear break-even point.

10. Assuming sales are above the break-even level, the margin of safety multiplied by the contribution margin ratio is equal to

e. b and c.

11. Assuming sales are above the break-even level, the margin of safety multiplied by the contribution margin ratio multiplied by 1-tax rate is equal to

d. the net income after taxes.

b. 60,000

17. What would be JR's after tax net income based on the situation in the question above?

c. 36,000

18. Which of the following represents a criticism of the linear cost volume profit approach from the activity based cost perspective?
