Abstract

Sarah has just been hired by Kyle's Kayaks, a manufacturing company that specializes in the production of one model of whitewater boats. An avid kayaker herself, Sarah is excited to begin her career with the company. The company's controller, Jessica, has assigned Sarah to the task of creating the company's budgets for the year. Sarah understands the importance of accurate cost figures to the survival or at least continued prosperity of a manufacturing facility. She has recently learned, though, that her success with this task will not only influence her future promotion opportunities but, even more importantly, her continued employment with Kyle's Kayaks.
