Explanation of Solution

Using glass bottles as packaging leads to harmful impact on the environment. Glass bottles emits GHG gas in the environment that leads to greenhouse effect and depletion of ozon layer. On the other hand, the cost of manufacturing for using glass bottles will be low that will increase the efficiency in production.

Using aluminium bottles as packaging will have low consiquences on the environment as there will be low emission of GHG gas. The cost of production will be high in the case of aluminium.

The one in bold, I already sold.   Spartan Castings must implement a manufacturing process that reduces the amount of particulates emitted into the atmosphere. Two processes have been identified that provide the same level of particulate reduction. The first process is expected to incur $340,000 of fixed cost and add $40 of variable cost to each casting Spartan produces. The second process has fixed costs of $100,000 and adds $70 of variable cost per casting. a. What is the​ break-even quantity beyond which the first process is more​ attractive? The​ break-even quantity is 8000 castings. b. What is the difference in total cost if the quantity produced is 5,000​? The total cost of process 1 is greater. Find the difference in total cost?
