Background Information This case analyses the ABC and ABM implementation process at Global Electronics Inc (GEI). GEI has been using a traditional costing system which allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on direct labour hours‚ which is about 10% of total cost. This costing system resulted in operating losses o $100 million although sales have been $650 million. As a result‚ it was believed that GEI’s costing system is not accurate. GEI’s new top management team believed that an Activity

Bolster Electronics: Dealing With Dealer Demands SITUATION ANALYSIS Northern Alberta‚ the oil sands development area surrounding Fort McMurray‚ is the fastest growing economic area in Canada for several years. Obviously Bolster’s total market share in this area was the highest with one third of the total market share it held national wide. Vickers based in Edmonton‚ Alberta covered 50% of the local market share and 75% of servicing in that area in spite having a national distributor‚ National

Assignment 1 - Petrie Electronics Case Study As a project manager Jim was able to subdivide the overall system into a set of components. For example he understood the importance of having representatives from the COO and marketing. Jim was also flexible to change. Although he was not expecting to have representatives for the COO and marketing to be on the team and be directly reporting to their supervisors he handled the situation well. Last but not the least he made sure that he has representatives

Electronic surveillance has changed in many ways since the passing of the USA Patriot Act. Therefore‚ electronic surveillance can be divided into 4 categories; wiretaps‚ tracking devices‚ stored communications and subscriber information‚ and pen registers and trap devices (Hall‚ D. 2105). Before the Patriot Act‚ you would have to have to show very high need to get a warrant for wiretapping‚ kind of like getting a super warrant and this was due to The Wiretap Act and the Title III of the Omnibus

Topic 12 ATOMIC STRUCTURE: Electronic configuration 12. 1. Ionization energy If an electron obtains enough energy it jumps beyond the highest energy level and becomes a free electron: the atom itself becomes a positive ion. This electron transition is represented as follows: n = 1 to n = (. Notation n = ( refers to the “world” outside the atom – beyond the control of the nucleus; any electron outside an atom has no potential energy (energy = 0). With hydrogen the ionization energy can be

What’s the difference between resistance and resistivity? Resistance is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by a conductor. Resistivity is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by UNIT AREA OF the conductor. So basically‚ resistance is the property of the object (say a copper wire)‚ whereas resistivity is the property of the substance (copper). And so resistance depends upon the properties of the object. Whereas resistivity depends upon the properties of the metal.
