Answer

The answers are:

  • During the war, radio networks and advertising agencies began preparing for a postwar future dominated by television.
  • Instead of emerging as a fledgling medium in 1946, television was already technologically and economically sophisticated.
  • Though the diffusion of TV to the public was halted with the onset of war, its technological development was not.
Explanation
Option 1: During the war, radio networks and advertising agencies began preparing for a postwar future dominated by television.

This is accurate. During World War II, many companies and networks anticipated the potential of television and began planning for its future. They invested in research and development, and advertising agencies started to consider how to leverage this new medium.

Option 2: Instead of emerging as a fledgling medium in 1946, television was already technologically and economically sophisticated.

This is also correct. By the end of World War II, television technology had advanced significantly. The groundwork laid during the war years meant that television was ready for rapid expansion and adoption by the public.

Option 3: Though the diffusion of TV to the public was halted with the onset of war, its technological development was not.

This statement is true. While the war slowed the commercial rollout of television, research and development continued. This meant that by the end of the war, television technology was more advanced and ready for mass production and distribution.

Option 4: Adolf Hitler had recognized the potential of TV back in the 1930s, and in 1945 the victorious Allies assumed control of the Nazis' TV networks.

This statement is not accurate. While Nazi Germany did experiment with television in the 1930s, it was not a significant factor in the postwar development of television in the Allied countries. The growth of television in the United States and other Allied nations was driven by their own technological advancements and economic conditions.

FunTime Cruiseline offers nightly dinner cruises departing from several cities on the East Coast of the United States including Charleston, Baltimore, and Alexandria. Dinner cruise tickets sell for 50 per passenger. FunTime Cruiseline's variable cost of providing the dinner is 30 per passenger, and the fixed cost of operating the vessels (depreciation, salaries, docking fees, and other expenses) is 210,000 per month. Under these conditions, the breakeven point in tickets is 10,500 and the breakeven point in sales dollars is 525,000. Suppose FunTime Cruiseline embarks on a cost reduction drive and slashes fixed expenses from 210,000 per month to 150,000 per month. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in sales dollars. Begin with the breakeven point units. Enter the formula, then compute the breakeven point. (For amounts with a 0 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate input field) Now compute the breakeven point in sales dollars. Enter the formula, then compute the breakeven point. (Enter the contribution margin ratio as a whole percent. For amounts with a 0 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate input field)
