please answer both qs. no need for show work.

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the company's operations?
Both cameras and drones are assembled by four-person product assembly teams (PATs),
with each PAT performing the needed tasks at its own assigned workstation.
The company has a staff of people engaged in product R&D; this group has the capability to
develop new and improved models of cameras and drones as directed by top management.
Camera models and drone models are assembled in advance; buyer orders are promptly
filled from inventories of camera and drone models that are warehoused in the facilities
where they were assembled;
all camera/drone orders are typically shipped within 2-3
business days of receiving the order.
The cost of boxing cameras, packaging them for shipment, and freight charges average $5
per camera. Packaging and shipping costs for drones average $60 per unit.
O The needed parts and components for assembling the company's line-up of camera and
drone models are obtained from suppliers having the capabilities to make deliveries to the
compan's Taiwan assembly site on a just-in-time basis,
thus eliminating the need to
maintain inventories of parts or components.

Which of the following is not accurate as concerns the online retailers of unmanned aerial view
drones and/or the buyers of unmanned aerial view drones?
O
Your company sells its AV drone models at the company's own website in direct
competition with other online retailers of UV drones--there are 100 online retailers of UAV
drones in each of the four geographic regions.
The vast majority of drone shoppers consider the widely-available and much-publicized
annual P/Q ratings compiled by the Global Alliance for
Safe and Responsible Use of
Commercial Drones to be a trusted measure of the performance and quality of competing
brands of drones.
When two brands of drones have slightly different prices and P/Q ratings (and all other buyer
considerations are, on balance, an even tradeoff between the two brands), then a bigger
percentage of buyers in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region will purchase the cheaper-
priced brand while a bigger percentage of buyers in North America and Europe-Africa will
purchase the brand with the higher P/Q rating.
O Individuals and enterprises interested in purchasing a AV drone for commercial use
generally well-informed about the differences in the prices and performance of the various
brands of UAV drones as well as the differences in brand reputations, number of models
offered, and the length of warranties.
Because your company sells its UAV drone models at the company's own website in direct
competition with other online retailers of AV drones, these online retailers are inclined to
stock and display your company's brand of drones only if they can purchase your
company's brand of drones at a discount of at least 35 percent below the online retail price
your company charges.
