New Paper Product Amy Lewis is the Director of Marketing for Agile, and is producing a sales forrtast for a new lne of paper products. The divivional managet hat been gathering data sa that he can choose between two different production processes. The fint process woild have a varuatle cont of $10 per cale produced and total fised cost of $100,000. The second process whild have a variable cost of $6 per case and fotal fived cost of 5200,000 . The ariling brice mosid be 530 per case. Amy had jost completed a marketing analysis that projects annual sales of 30,000 cases. however she is reluctant to report the 30,000 forecast to the divisional manager. She known that the first process would be laboe intensive, whereas the second would be largety automaced whth letle labor and no requirement for an additional production woervisee, it the fint process is chosen, 5am Adams, a good friend, will be appointed as the line supervisor. If the seciont process is chosen, 5 am and an entire line of laborers will be laid off. After some censideration, Amr revises the projected sales downward to 22,000 casec. She believes that the revilion downward is jurnified. Since it will lead the divisional manager to choose the myhal systrm, if shows a sensivity to the needs of current employees-a sensevity that she in atraid her divisional manager does not possess. He is too foculed on quantitative factors in his decision making and usualy ignores the qualtative mpects. 5. Aased on the above information, calculate the following: a. Break even point in unias for each process b. The sales volume at which the two processes have the same profeablity as eachother c. The range of sales that the automated procms is more proficable than the manual proceis d. The range of sales that the manual process in moce protitable than the automated process. 6. Wrie a memo to the Drisional Manager discusving Amy's decision to aiter the sales forecast. Dbcuss whether Amy acted ethically and if her decision was jast fed . Provide a recommendation on which alternative the Manager should select and dscuas both the quantitative and qualitative factors related to the decision
