    Break-even point – formula is

    • Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio

    • Total cost/income

    • Flexible cost/total margin

    Correct Answer
    A. Fixed cost/contribution margin ratio
    Explanation
    The formula for calculating the break-even point is the fixed cost divided by the contribution margin ratio. The fixed cost refers to the expenses that do not change regardless of the level of production or sales. The contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price and the variable cost, divided by the selling price. By dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin ratio, we can determine the level of sales needed to cover all fixed costs and start generating profit.

    Let’s say your team is developing a mobile app that allows users to search for food and drink specials at local restaurants.The ‘sprint goal’ for this iteration is to set up the user interface. This is everything that the end­user will see and interact with. Halfway through development for the iteration, the client sends you an email that they’ve changed their mind and they want the main colors of the application to be blue and white instead of red and black. This is a quick fix for the development team. The client also requests that they want the application to now support ads that pop up on the screen. Which of these changes can be made in the current iteration?

    • The color change

    • Popup ads

    • Both of them

    • Neither of them

    Correct Answer
    A. The color change
    Explanation
    The color change can be made in the current iteration because it is a quick fix that can be implemented without major changes to the user interface. It does not require additional functionality or significant development effort. On the other hand, adding popup ads would require implementing new functionality and modifying the user interface, which may not be feasible within the current iteration's timeframe. Therefore, the color change is a more realistic and achievable change to make in the current iteration.

    • Gross Churn = visitors / customers Gross Customer Churn = Churned visitors / BOP Customers

    • Gross MRR Churn = total customers / net income Gross Customer Churn = Churned visitors / Customers

    Correct Answer
    A. Gross MRR Churn = Churned MRR / BOP MRR Gross Customer Churn = Churned Customers / BOP Customers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Gross MRR Churn = Churned MRR / BOP MRR. This formula calculates the gross monthly recurring revenue (MRR) churn rate, which represents the amount of MRR lost from churned customers divided by the beginning of period (BOP) MRR. It provides a measure of the financial impact of customer churn on the business. Similarly, the formula Gross Customer Churn = Churned Customers / BOP Customers calculates the gross customer churn rate, which represents the percentage of customers lost during a period divided by the BOP customer count. Both of these formulas help businesses understand the rate at which they are losing revenue and customers due to churn.
