They deliver for free to all parts of the country with delivery expected in 2-3 days. They have been producing bespoke work for one off customers on the side and have asked for you to produce an Activity based costing method that they could incorporate into their business to make sure they make a profit.
Problem Task 1:

You are advised to find examples of what could occur if businesses do not control their costs effectively. The business would also like to expand in the near future so this must be considered in your response.
Problem Task 2:
You will be provided with a detailed overview of all products and services used to produce a given engineered product or service you will then be required to produce a detailed and refined activity-based cost model for the product or service given. You will then produce a list of advisories where necessary to make the most of the competitive advantage that the business currently has and how this could be impacted both negatively and positively given your cost model.
Produce an effective floor layout for the completion of the work and explain how this efficiency may lead to cost control.
