Which of the following does NOT accurately describe your company's camera/drone business
and operations?
The company has two buildings for assembling products at its Taiwan site - one for cameras and
one for drones (the drone assembly process also includes assembly of an action camera model
having features and specifications suitable for use in camera-equipped drones). No camera
models or drone models are assembled in advance, warehoused in company facilities and then
used to fill incoming orders.
Your company maintains regional facilities in Milan, Italy; Singapore; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and
Dallas, Texas to handle the company's marketing efforts in each of the world's principal
geographic regions, to support the merchandising efforts of area retailers who stock the
company's brand of action-capture cameras and UAV drones, and to process camera/drone
warranty claims including making needed repairs) originating in their - ANSWER -The company
makes the majority of the needed camera components at facilities close to its Taiwan assembly
plant; newly-produced camera components are transferred by truck on a just-in-time basis to
the company's camera assembly facilities where the company operates a 250-person assembly
line capable of turning out 3,250 cameras per hour. There is ample space at the camera
assembly facility to add two more 250-person assembly lines should they be needed later to fill
incoming buyer orders.
Worldwide unit sales of wearable, miniature action-capture cameras are reliably projected to
grow:
A. 6-8% annually for Years 6-10 and then to grow at a slower 4-6% annual rate during the Years
11-15.
B. At rates that can range from as little as 5% annually to as high as 15% annually
C. About 10% annually through Year 15
D. To grow 8-10% annually during Years 6-10 and then to grow at a slower 6-8% annual rate
during the following five years (Years 11-15)
, 10% annually for Years 6-10, and then slow gradually to 5% annually during Years 11-15. -
ANSWER -A. 6-8% annually for Years 6-10 and then to grow at a slower 4-6% annual rate during
the Years 11-15.
Which of the following is NOT one of the benefits of current-year and cumulative expenditures
for camera/drone product R&D?
A. Reducing total annual compensation costs for PATs because such spending, once it reaches
$25 million annually and a cumulative total of $100 million, allows the size of PATs to be
reduced from 4 persons to 2 persons
B. Increasing the productivity of PATs in assembling camera/drone models (because of easier to
assemble product designs); the size of this benefit occurs immediately and varies according to
the current and cumulative amounts spent
C. Boosting a company's P/Q ratings (the size of this benefit varies with the current and
cumulative amounts spent and shows up in the P/Q ratings at the beginning of the following
year)
D. Reducing warranty claims and costs (these two benefits show at the beginning of the
following year)
Providing a pipeline of tested ways to add more features, improve - ANSWER -A. Reducing total
annual compensation costs for PATs because such spending, once it reaches $25 million
annually and a cumulative total of $100 million, allows the size of PATs to be reduced from 4
persons to 2 persons
Which one of the following is NOT a factor in determining a company's action camera sales and
market share in a particular geographic region?
How a company's average wholesale price for the camera models it sells to retailers in the
region compares with the average wholesale prices of the camera models of competing
companies
The number of camera models in each company's line-up of camera offerings, the length of the
warranty period for each company's camera models, and the amount companies spend for
advertising
The amounts by which the company's credit rating and customer service rating are
above/below the regional average
Whether the size of the discounts off the regular average wholesale price a company offers to
retailers during weekly sales promotion campaigns is above/below the regional average
