Housing cost- BDT 10,000
Total cost of employees- BDT 10,000
Total fixed cost- 10,000 + 10,000= 20,000 taka
Sales price per unit- BDT 500
Variable cost per unit- BDT 250
Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit= BDT 250
So the break-even point= 20,000/250= 80
So basically, Mithy needs to sell 80 cupcakes per month to make sure that the cost and total revenue are equal.
So what can she do to increase her sales?
A tricky question that does not have a straightforward answer because it includes so many variables.
All we can do is to lay out some tips.
Since the cupcakes are amazing, she can take a bit of risk. She can invest more money and spend more money on marketing. For example, she can use it to boost her Facebook business page to get more traction or hire a part-time online marketer who will keep a close eye on her customers and see what they want. It will be risky because the break-even point will be higher which means she must sell more... less

This project gives shelter to homeless people, those people were barely surviving before they got a house from this project. Now they can stay focus on their daily livelihood. The project has been going economic vulnerability of many homeless families by providing them with shelters and necessary financial assistance to rebuild their life. As the project now targets the impoverished people of the whole country, by aiding them to build their shelter with a means of income generation can also check the displacement of people from one place to another. Beside that this project provided necessary training to them and revolving interest-free micro-credit to enhance income generating activities to improve their livelihoods and make them self-reliant. With this they can start a small business or cultivate their own food and keeping household pet. This project surely a blessing to those people like Rahim Miah. less

Homeless women, teenagers, and children feel helpless or unprotected due to multiple forms of victimization, including forced, coerced, or manipulated sexual activity. So, ''The Asrayan project'' is a development project which aims at providing homes for the homeless and gradually making them self-dependent to contribute to the national economy. This project will help lower-income group people to some extent but government support is needed to achieve this to the fullest, such as,
1.Setting priority for ensuring to access good jobs for lower-income group people.
2.Providing Microloans can be beneficial to the landless people who want to start a new business. If the business increases, it will also create more employment opportunities for others. less

But it’s not possible so quickly. So, the procedure should be running as well as our Govt. can give them food, protection, education, sanitation with the help of international agencies. Govt also starts relocating them which will reduce pressure on certain forest land. They did huge destruction of forest lands by making shelter and destruction is continued because of collecting fuelwood. So if we reduce fuelwood problem by providing biogas or fuelwood substitution actions through coordination of various aid agencies, our forest will get protection. Besides forest department can do plantation programme like social forestry where the refugees will participate. Fast growing species should be planted as if they can get benefit earlier and then they will be interested on tree plantation. Fruit trees can be planted and... less

But it can not possible now because of some political issues. Our government should have taken proper steps to solve the problem so that the Rohingya can return to their own villages and get proper rights.
(2) The Rohingya peoples are now located in the forest areas of Bangladesh and they destroyed the forest. They cut the trees for making their shelter. They collect fuel wood from the forest. So for saving the forest areas government should take proper step. Here government can take "Benefit sharing approach" for planting trees. If the Rohingya people's get benefits they plant trees and maintain the trees also. Here proper training and encouragement is needed for planting trees and maintaining the trees. less

The elementary mathematical expression for pressure is giving by ,
P = F/A
Here, P is the pressure , F is the force acting perpendicular to the surface to which this force is applied and A is the area of the surface .
The same force applied by a sharp knife with a smaller area of contact will exerts a much greater pressure than a blunt knife having a considerable larger area of contact .
Once a blunt knife is through the object (vegetable or other food), there is a greater chance for the pressure to lead to slippage, skidding and injury. A sharp knife can cut using the edge of the e knife with a safer slicing. Rather, cuts from sharper knives can actually heal more easily than those from dull knives. A sharp knife is a safer knife than a dull knife. less

According to the equation, force is directly proportional to pressure. A blunt knife has more area around the cutting edge than a sharp knife. So a blunt knife requires more pressure for the same amount of force to be exerted, as the pressure applied increases the chances of the knife slipping and cutting Adam's hand increases. Similarly, a sharp knife would require less pressure to be applied for the same amount of force to be exerted, this not only allows Adam to cut through the food but also prevents the knife from slipping and cutting his hand. less

P=F/A, for a fixed area, force is directly proportional to pressure. If the
area of a blunt and a sharp knife is same, then doubling the pressure on blunt
knife means doubling the force.
Secondly,F= {m(v-u)}/t
Assume, two knives have same mass and you take same amount of time to cut. As
you start from a zero velocity, that means u=0. Ultimately you end up giving
much more velocity to the blunt than sharp one. So, if you accidentally slip
while cutting, blunt will hit your finger faster, which might cause a serious
injury. Sharp knife will have less velocity, which has multiple advantages:
bringing the sharp knife to rest is easier than blunt one. If you slip, sharp
knife won’t hit so fast. It may cause a
little scratch, or you’ll be lucky to stop the sharp knife as soon as it touches your skin (blunt one
would cause a deep scar).
For same time duration, point of contact (finger and knife)
faces two different momenta. As a result,... less

Here, according to Pascal's law (P = f/a, where pressure is the force applied over a certain area), the sharp knife can exert greater pressure than the blunt knife, as the sharper knife has less contact area for the same force than the blunt knife, so the force would be exerted over a smaller area. So in order to cut anything, one would need to apply a larger force in a blunt knife than a sharper knife, and this might result in the blunt knife cutting the hand due to excessive pressure applied by the user while cutting any other objects. less

away the ice and snow.So he could drive safely.If no tread, there will be less friction and driving will become unsafe.
Jacob's shoes slipped because uppermost ice layer contains thin water layer on it.Deeper ice layers stick to each other well but upper layers are very loose as they always remain in contact with air.While walking, jacob's shoes rubbed on ice that caused friction.Friction created heat and heat helped to melt the ice which made it more slippery.

1) Situation-1, Jacob’s car could travel the road despite the road was slippery. This happened as the tires had enough grooves to increase friction. Friction increases due to rough surface, so the tires could make a firm grip on the road and prevent slipping. But if the tires hadn’t enough groove it could felt due to the smooth icy road.
2) 2nd situation where Jacob slipped on the ground due to wearing regular shoes. Although static friction occurred it wasn’t enough to stop slipping as the shoes of Jacob didn’t have enough grip to increase friction.
3) We can see in the 3rd situation that through rubbing his palms together, Jacob felt warm on both palms. This occurred due to sliding friction. The molecules in the palms of Jacob’s started moving quickly. Static electricity was produced due to the sliding friction. Thus this static electricity converted into heat energy. So friction is the root of this. less

First of all, it can be noticed that surface of the ice is slippery. So in order to prevent skidding, the tire of the car had a grooved pattern moulded into the rubber surface and are properly inflated which increases the amount of friction force acting on the car and so the car can move smoothly through the ice. Secondly, it is quite good to mention that normal shoes are not built to create a lot of frictional force, so as the ice is slippery, due to less frictional force, Mr Jacob slips.
In order to prevent slipping on ice, ice boots have quite a good surface that can create a lot of friction with the ice, preventing the user of the boots from sleeping. Thirdly, rubbing hands is also an example of friction. Rubbing hands allows surfaces from both the hands to come into contact and rub against each other and this movement causes friction force to convert the kinetic energy of the hands into the thermal... less

is so slippery and doesn’t have enough grips. Jacob’s Car was useful there; it
gives power to all 4 wheels at the same time. With the help of heavy car
weight, those 4 tires made 4 friction points. The more friction it made, the
more grip the car got. He might use frictional tires for getting more grips. In
consequence of that, he moved easily.
2.
On the ice, there are
unstable water molecules that are weakly bonded to the crystal. When Jacob
walked on ice, the molecules began to move freely. His shoes had not enough
friction point to grip in ice. As a result, his foot did not get enough static
friction force to hold him in place & he slipped.
3.
Jacob’s hands came in contact & move relative to each
other; the friction between the two hand surfaces converts kinetic energy into
thermal energy. Thermal energy made his hand wormer and made it safe from being
frozen. less

So, they are highly dependent on forest. And the main reasons of this dependency are the mono-cropping characteristics of their agriculture, low literacy rate, lack of awareness, lack of facilities etc.
So, Govt. And other agencies Should focus on their education, sanitation and other facilities. As most of them are farmer and do fish farming can practice different agroforestry systems but for this, more researches should be done to ensure which crops, trees grow well in these areas because salinity is a big problem here. And obviously sustainable dams need to be built so that tidal water does not reach the locality.
