The SMT has concluded that while the production facility could be performing bether, dernand for the PB-V range shows that the product is likely to be a commercial success, and sales have tar exceeded expectations. You have the following conversation with Akida Agu, Finance Manager: -Sales for our PB-V range have been exceptional. To keep up with demand, Ben Morales, Production Director, has suggested transferring an old mixing machine from our criginal tacility to our new facility. There are two potential options for this transfer. Option A involves transferring the machine and using it for six months.
