... nearly every camera has some kind of viewfinder. One of the simplest types is a screen that is placed on the back of the camera and replaced by the film in making the exposure.

... high. But in today’s automated factory, this can lead to disaster. Conventional systems report inaccurate product costs--often grossly inaccurate. Management, in turn, makes strategic decisions based on these inaccurate product costs. Traditional cost systems assume all overhead activities are consumed equally by all products relative to volume produced. Further, all costs are allocated to products because the system assumes that current output drives current overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to products on the basis of the product's demand for some volume variable direct cost, usually labor hours, machine hours, or materials cost.
