Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5–10 sentences. You are the manager of a medium-sized paper sales company. The paper market has been stagnant for the last several years. Therefore, you are analyzing the possible restructuring of your current staff to help improve efficiency and the quality of your services. Specifically, the supplier purchases team needs a fresh evaluation. Currently, Keeler Pansing is a rising star, known for her keen eye for determining the superiority of paper and finding great values. Her attendance of outside training and obtainment of multiple certifications in paper purchasing are primary contributors to her success. The present lead purchaser, Katie Lackey, has held the position for the last ten years and, at the age of 57, is 20 years Keeler's senior. Katie has always performed satisfactory work, but you feel that Keeler would give you an edge. Would you be concerned with making any changes in the purchasing group?

Overheads

In cost accounting, overhead refers to those expenses which occur during the operating of a business. Overhead includes the fixed, variable, or semi-variable which is not directly involved with a company product or service. It is very important to analyze overhead expense as it helps the company in determining how much a company must charge for its products and services so that they can generate profit.  Overhead expenses depend upon the nature of the business operations.
