Answer:

For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units

For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units

Explanation:

We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.

Solution:

1. For Capital Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 10

Direct Labor  = 4

Variable MOH  = 5

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 23  

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 1800000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 2050000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 26623

2. For Labor Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 12

Direct Labor  = 12

Variable MOH  = 2

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 30

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 500000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 750000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 10714

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Business Process Re-engineering is business philosophy that seeks to improve product by eliminating causes of product defects and making quality an all-encompassing organizational watchword.

Hence A is correct

Explanation:

It is an holistic approach to rearranging business and organisation's workflows with a view to identifying sub-optimization and inefficiencies that are deep-rooted in its processes which are cost-consuming but do not add value to business bottom-line(profitability).

Implementing a BPR project is a painstaking effort in that it is a way of telling employees to dump old ways of doing of things which they are probably more comfortable with and embrace change.This is the case as an average human tends to resist change.

Explanation:

A product can be defined as any physical object or material that typically satisfy and meets the demands, needs or wants of customers. Some examples of a product are mobile phones, television, microphone, microwave oven, bread, pencil, freezer, beverages, soft drinks, etc.

On a related note, a value chain refers to the idea that a company is a series of activities that transform inputs into products that customers value.
