9-39 Pickles Motorcycle Case Study

Decent Essays
In the assignment 9-39 Pickles Motorcycle Inc. needed to see which ABC method was best for their company to use. Using the data I have shown different ways to try and reach a solution that would work and give them a reasonable profit. By using a movement base cost system the company is able to see where and what and why they are at in their financial status. This is an excellent way to keep up with what is going on, while at the same time allows you to see where you can and cannot cut back on.

AT&T offered a plan with a $.20 per text charge and a $15 initiation fee, while Verizon offered a plan with a $.10 per text message fee and a $70 initiation fee. I found, by comparing the two plans algebraically, that AT&T would be better if my friend is planning on sending less than 550 texts per month, and Verizon would be better if they are planning on sending more than 550 texts.…
