Question 1

What is the primary reason SPPs can become less expensive at higher production volumes?

SPPs have lower manufacturing costs per unit.
Higher NRE costs are amortized over more units.
SPPs require more materials to produce.

💡 Hint: Think about how costs are distributed as more units are produced.

Question 2

True or False: General Purpose Processors (GPPs) are always less expensive than Single Purpose Processors (SPPs).

True
False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Evaluate the economic feasibility of integrating SPPs into a high-volume production line. What are the cost implications at different production levels?

💡 Hint: Consider both long-term and short-term cost implications based on production volume.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a forecasting model that accounts for unit costs versus production volume for both SPPs and GPPs. What factors will you include?

💡 Hint: Think about how varying outputs affect production efficiency and costs over time.
