Not what you're looking for?

Could someone help me with this? Please see the attached document. Here are the questions:

2. Discuss why Tony Reese's current reaction to the quality improvement program is more favorable than his initial reaction.
3. Jerry Holman believed that the quality improvement program was essential and that Bergen, Inc., could no longer afford to ignore the importance of product quality. Discuss how Bergen, Inc., could measure the opportunity cost of not implementing the quality improvement program.
This is greatly appreciated. Thanks
