I experienced lean management at a very large open pit mining operation in the 1980's and 1990's. Part of it was a new theoretically streamlined system for purchase orders. Prior to this introduction, the technical people only had to briefly fill out a hand written form and send it to purchasing where they completed the final form. After the JD Edwards system was introduced, then the entire onus was on the technical person to complete the whole order in its' final form so this resulted in added stress to us and meant more time in the office and less on important field duties.. 

Also,since we had a skeleton crew in mine engineering, I (we) had to do multiple projects which only allowed us to touch lightly on each one and therefore compromise the quality of the work. As primarily a field man, I would need to both plan the work and also carry it out myself in the field and sometimes it was difficult to do both,

The Atlantic Company sells a product for $150 per unit. The variable cost is $60 per unit, and fixed costs are $270,000. What is
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The break even units are 3000 units and when it desires the profit of $36000 then sales unit is 3400 units.

Explanation:

The selling price of a product (SP) = $150 per unit.

Variable cost (VC) = $60 per unit.

Fixed cost of the company = $270000

Break-even units can be calculated by dividing the fixed cost from the difference in selling price and variable cost.

Break even Units = (fixed cost) / ( SP – VC)

= 270000 / (150-60)

= 3000 units.

Break-even units when a company desires a profit of $36000.

Desired units for sales = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/ Contribution per unit

= (270,000 + 36,000) / (150 - 60)

= 3,400 units

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As for calculating the gain or loss on distribution of any asset, in any case the company shall consider the fair market value at the time of distribution, and accordingly, the gain or loss shall be:

Fair market value - Tax basis of such asset.

Here, in the given instance

Fair market value of land = $200,000

Tax basis of land = $50,000

Thus, gain on distribution = $200,000 - $50,000 = $150,000

This will not be different in any case, whether the earnings are positive or negative.

Therefore, the statement is True
