U.S. employees work harder now than ever before, and almost 75 percent report regularly experiencing job-related stress symptoms. Stress costs organizations an estimated $30 billion a year in lost productivity, and hundreds of billions a year if you include health care costs and absenteeism. This activity is important because managers can help to decrease unnecessary workplace stressors, and can help employees to experience fewer stress symptoms, if they are attuned to the sources from which workplace stress can manifest. The goal of this exercise is to challenge your knowledge of the six sources of work-related stress.

For each person, select the source of job-related stress that his or her example best depicts:

a. Demands created by individual differences
b. Individual task demands
c. Individual role demands
d. Worklife balance
e. group demands
f. Organizational demands

Assume that you are part of the accounting team for Logan Digital. The company currently expects to sell 362 units for total revenue of $16,300 each month. Logan Digital estimates direct materials costs of $3,150, direct labor costs of $4,200, variable overhead costs of $2,100, and variable selling and administrative costs of $1,050. Fixed costs of $4,800 are also expected, which includes fixed overhead and selling and administrative costs. Using this information, complete the contribution margin income statement shown below.
Logan Digital is examining cost behavior patterns. Your recommendation is to first determine the break-even point in units. First, calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit (rounded to the nearest dollar).
Next, complete the formula below to determine the break-even units.
Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit = Units
A profit-volume graph helps managers to visualize the relationship between profits and units sold. The data for Logan Digital has been used to construct the profit-volume graph below. The purple points (diamond symbols) plot the profit line. The operating loss is the shaded area bordered by the red points (cross symbols). The operating profit is the area bounded by the green points (triangle symbols). Graph the correct profit-value graph.
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Effect of Changes to Sales Price, Variable Costs and Fixed Costs
Now consider each of the following scenarios for Logan Digital. Calculate the contribution margin (CM) per unit, rounded to nearest dollar, and the new break-even point in units, rounded to the nearest whole unit, for each scenario separately.
Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3
Logan will dispose of a machine in the factory. The depreciation on that equipment is $500 per month. After some extensive market research, Logan has determined that a sales price increase of $2 per unit will not affect the sales volume and will be effective immediately. Logan has been experiencing quality problems with a materials supplier. Changing suppliers will improve the quality of the product but will cause direct materials costs to increase by $1 per unit.

Case ScenarioOver the past four years, the LSS organization, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has become renowned nationally for its Camp Noah project. Following floods, tornadoes or other weather emergencies, children lose their daily routine, their schools and oftentimes their homes. Parents are often stressed and unavailable during emergencies, and children have few resources to help them understand their situation. In Camp Noah, volunteers with skills in child psychology and counseling meet in a two day support group environment with children in flood ravaged areas. They encourage the children to share their stories and develop important resiliency skills and learn how to cope emotionally with the disaster.Due to the need for such services, LSS has developed a training system that lets them partner with resource organizations located near flood or tornado areas. They have partnered with many local organizations around the U.S. to train, equip and empower volunteers to staff local camps attended by children during their summer vacation. LSS also provides pre-packaged Camp Noah supplies that range from workbooks, crayons and puppets to a quilt for each child.Recently, powerful rainstorms in southeastern France triggered flash flooding that displaced more than 1000 families, and left 200,000 people without electricity for more than two weeks. City officials in France called the LSS Director of Camp Noah Services, Chris Walker, and asked if she could provide training and equip 20 volunteers in southeastern France to deliver the Camp Noah curriculum to up to 500 children. The French officials have asked that a decision to proceed be made within 2 weeks, and that the training and they want the equipment be delivered 6 weeks after the decision is made. Chris Walker wants to help but isn’t sure how to start. Currently, Camp Noah supplies are all written in English, and the counselor training documents are only written in English as well. The floods occurred in an area of France that has few English speakers.You are a contract employee who has been engaged to help LSS because you speak French fluently and because you are an expert, experienced project manager with great interpersonal skills. Your job is to assist the director, Chris Walker, during project initiation. If the project is approved, you may be asked to lead the remainder of the project as well. You and Chris have been in meetings together all day discussing the opportunity for a French Camp Noah. You’ve been listening very carefully and asking dozens of questions about the potential effort. Now, you’re ready to get started and put your considerable project management skills and knowledge to work.Questions based on above scenario and answer need to be 1/2 page long:1. Is this (or will this be) a project or operations? Justify your choice.2. What process group is this project currently in? How do you know?3. As an experienced project manager, you are aware that analyzing the environment in which a project operates is critically important. Select two (2) OPA and two (2) EEF that you believe are important to understand for this project. Apply these to the case scenario and justify why the four items you selected are important. 4. Once the decision is made to proceed with the project, Chris Walker, the director, will need to select a project manager. You know that LSS is a strong-matrix org. What does this mean in terms of how the project will be conducted and the role of the project manager? (5. You and Chris Walker, the director, will work on trying to define what project success will look like as you define the project objectives. What should you keep in mind about the process of writing objectives? Why are good statements of project objectives important to project success?
