Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different activities involved in making a final product by a company to get a good ready.

These Activities are divided into the levels, Unit, Batch, Product, Customer and Organizational.

Unit Level Activities are activities that are performed on the individual units. If you see an activity that focuses on a singular unit at a time, it is a Unit Level Activity.

Batch Level Activity. When units are put together in a set, they form a batch. Batch Level Activity therefore refers to those activities on a set of units at a particular time.

Product Level Activity. When taling about activities related to the entire product this is where they fall under. The entire product refers to what is being produced exactly. For instance, out of 300 units of Ford Mustangs produced, the product is the Ford Mustang. Recalling all Ford Mustangs is a Product Level Activity.

Customer Level Activities are those related to what the company does regarding those who buy it's products. As long as the activity has to do with a customer, it is a Customer Level Activity.

Finally, an Organizational Activity refers to an activity that encapsulates or affects the organization as a whole.

Classifying the above therefore,

a. production run of 500 units. BATCH LEVEL ACTIVITY as it involves multiple units.

b. Conducting a seminar for local doctors on the benefits of a new drug. PRODUCT LEVEL ACTIVITY as it speaks to the entire product.

c. Embossing a company logo on every product made. UNIT LEVEL ACTIVITY as it speaks of putting a logo on EACH UNIT.

d. Seating a party of 11 at a restaurant. BATCH LEVEL because in this case each person is a unit and putting them together creates a batch.

e. Providing technical support for two years following a sale. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY as it involves services related to the customer.

f. Managing a corporation's accounting department. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY as it speaks to the management of an organization wide system.

g. Attaching a price tag to each product. UNIT LEVEL ACTIVITY as it speaks to an activity related to a single unit.

h. Issuing an invoice. CUSTOMER LEVEL ACTIVITY as it deals with issuing invoices which is done to customers who have bought a good.

i. Developing a corporate advertising campaign. ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL ACTIVITY because it is at a Corporate Level thereby affecting the entire organization. Had it been a specific product advertisement it would be a Product Level Activity.

j. Recalling a defective product. PRODUCT LEVEL ACTIVITY as it concerns the entire product in question.
