Please Help me answer the following seven questions:

Assume you manage an auto repair shop that earns $750,000 per year in revenues, generating $150,000 per year of profits on overall operating costs of $600,000. Assume your COPQ is 20% of overall operating costs.

What factors or activities may contribute to the COPQ at an auto repair shop?

You and your mechanics have identified projects costing $25,000 (equipment, tools, training) that would likely cut in half the COPQ. What would be your new overall operating costs? What would be your new profit? Explain your reasoning for both answers.

Should you spend the money on these projects? Explain. How much would you be willing to spend on one-time projects intended to cut the cost-of-poor-quality by half for the foreseeable future?

Assume you decided to fund the projects mentioned in Question 3 above but the costs were only reduced by 25%, not by half. Was it still worthwhile? Explain. Remember, you only incur the costs one time but you reap the savings for several years.

Assume the projects were completely successful, cutting the COPQ in half. Explain how this affects your pricing options.

Thank you and appreciate your help!
