Becky Knauer recently resigned from her position as controller for Shamalay Automotive, a small, struggling foreign car dealer in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Becky has just started a new job as controller for Mueller Imports, a much larger dealer for the same car manufacturer. Demand for this particular make of car is exploding, and the manufacturer cannot produce enough to satisfy demand. The manufacturer’s regional sales managers are each given a certain number of cars.

Becky is surprised to learn that her new employer, Mueller Imports, receives more than 200 cars each month. Becky soon gets another surprise.…

“Mary Jane, I am concerned that I am not current on our cost structure and how that is impacting our bottom line,” Paul begins.
“Well, Paul, the company has grown considerably over the past 5 years, so I’m not surprised that you feel a little disconnected with how things are going,” Mary Jane replied. She continued “In fact, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about a couple of big items such as increasing the sales commission to 15%. We’ve lost two of our best account managers in the last 9 months.
