BlackBerry, which gained significant market share in the early 2000s in the business, government, and consumer markets, lost market share because "competitors offered phones with better designs and more features".
<u>Option:</u> B
<u>Explanation:</u>

- That was a major disruption in the market for cell phones and BlackBerry did not follow.

Answer:
Current Operation (purchase of cookies) - $0.60
Alternative - $0.2 materials
$0.15 direct labor
$0.45 without increasing capacity of which $0.3 is fixed - meaning it would still be incurred at current capacity
<u> Mel's Meals Evaluation of Alternatives</u>
Purchase Produce
$ $
Cost to Buy 0.6 -
Materials - 0.2
Direct Labor - 0.15
Overhead (Variable) - 0.15
Total Cost 0.6 0.5
Decision: Mel should not continue buying them as she would be saving $0.1 for every lunch meal.
Since there would not be an increase in the total fixed overhead if Mel's makes the cookies in-house, then the $0.3 fixed overhead is not significant in calculating the cost of producing.
Explanation:
The differential cost in this instance is $0.1 as Mel's saves that for every cookie made which multiplied by the number included in the box and by the total box prepared and sold gives = 0.1 * 2 * 10000 = $2,000 saved for making
