Conclusion
Changes in price or change in the volume will affect the profits of the company. If the fixed cost of the company is decreased, then it will decrease the overall cost of the company.
Decrease in the overall cost will increase the net income of the company. The reduction in the overall cost will also reduce the break-even price. Since it is the sum of the fixed operating cost and the variable operating cost.
