consider each of the following independent scenarios:

(a)Terrin Belson plant manager for the laser printer factory of company inc. brushed his hair back and sighed December had been a bad month two machines had broken down and some factory production workers all on salary were idled for part of the month.Materials prices increased and insurance premiums on the factory increased no way out of it cost were going up he hoped that the marketing vice president would be able to push through some price increase but that really wasn't his department.

(b)Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. she was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently enabling her factories to sell several older machines was the reason why Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semiannual performance review.

(c)Gil Rodriguez sales manager for computer works was not pleased with a memo from headquarter detailing the recent cost increase for the laser printer line. headquarters suggest raising prices. great thought Gil an increase in price will kill sales and revenue will go down. why can't the plant shape up and cut cost like every other company in America is doing why turn this into my problem?

(d)Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit and loss statement with disgust revenue was down and cost was up what a combination then she had an idea if she cut back on maintenance of equipment and let a product engineer go expense would decrease perhaps enough to reverse the trend in income.

(e)Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the southern division of ABC Inc she met with top staff and hammered out a 3 year plan to improve the situation a centerpiece of the plan is the retiring of obsolete equipment and the purchasing of state of the art computer assisted machinery the new machinery would take time for the workers to learn to use but once that was done waste would be virtually eliminated.Required:for each of the above independent scenarios indicate the type of responsibility center involved cost, revenue, profit,or investment.
