The productivity of camera/drone PATs is affected by a variety
of factors that include
1 the size of weekly bonuses paid to PAT members for beating
their weekly assembly quota, the number of years since camera/drone
workstations were modernized/updated, the complexity of
camera/drone designs, the number of camera/drone models being
assembled, and the amount the company spends annually per
camera/drone PAT on training and productivity-enhancing assembly
methods.
2 perfect attendance bonuses, how much overtime is offered to
PATs so as to boost their take-home pay, how many PAT members leave
the company for jobs elsewhere, and the size of the year-end
bonuses awarded to PATs for beating their annual assembly quotas
and lowering warranty claim rates.
3 percentage increases in the annual base wage, the size of the
fringe benefits package, the amount of paid vacation per
camera/drone PAT annually, the number of years since camera/drone
workstations were modernized/updated, the percentage of the
assembly process that is performed by robots, and
increases/decreases in the number of components needed to assemble
a camera/drone.
4 the size of the year-end bonus for perfect attendance,
cumulative expenditures for product R&D for cameras/drones,
increases or decreases in the number of camera/drone models being
assembled, and the size of the company-paid fringe benefits package
for camera/drone PAT members.
5 the complexity of the company’s camera/drone designs,
cumulative spending for new product R&D for cameras/drones, the
size of weekly bonuses paid to PAT members for perfect attendance,
the number of years since camera/drone workstations were

A camera-maker's price competitiveness in a particular
geographic region is determined by
1 whether its average wholesale price to camera retailers in the
region is above or below the regional average average
price--companies whose average wholesale price is below the
regional average are deemed to be price competitive while those
with above-average wholesale prices are considered to have prices
that are not competitive.
2 how favorably the average wholesale price it is charging
camera retailers for its models compares to the lowest average
wholesale price being charged by a rival camera-maker in that same
geographic region.
3 whether the average wholesale price it is charging camera
retailers for its models is at least 10% below the highest-priced
camera brand in the region; all companies whose average wholesale
price is more than 10% below the highest-priced camera brand in the
region are considered to be price competitive.
4 whether the average wholesale price for its camera models is
within 10% of the lowest-priced camera brand in the region; a
company becomes progressively less price competitive the greater
its average wholesale price is more than 10% above the camera brand
with the lowest average wholesale price.
5 whether its average wholesale price is at least $50 below the
average wholesale price of the highest-priced camera brand in the
region; all companies with average wholesale prices $50 or more
below the price of the highest-priced company are considered to be
price competitive. All other companies are considered to be
charging average wholesale prices that are NOT competitive.Â

Officials at Global Community Bank, under terms of its long-term
banking agreement with the company, have agreed to lend the company
additional monies should you elect to use debt to help finance
growth and other financial needs; the interest rate that will be
charged on such loans is tied to
1 how much the company has already borrowed against its ongoing
$100 million line of credit and the size of its free cash flows
(defined as net income plus depreciation less dividend payments)
the past two years.
2 the company's current credit rating, going rates of return in
world financial markets, and the paycheck period (1-week, 5-weeks,
10-weeks).
3 the company's net profit margin the past two years, the
percentage of free cash flows (defined as net income plus
depreciation less dividend payments) the company has the ability to
use to make interest payments, and the company's current credit
rating.
4 the payback period (1-year, 5-years, 10-years) and whether the
company's gross profit margins, operating profit margins, and net
profit margins the previous two years are above/below the industry
averages and by how much.
5 the company's current credit rating, going rates of interest
in world financial markets, and the payback period (1-year,
5-years, 10-years).
