At the beginning of year 1, Kare Company initiated a quality improvement program. Considerable effort was expended over two years to reduce the number of defective units produced. By the end of the second year, reports from the production manager revealed that scrap and rework had both decreased. The president of the company was pleased to hear of the success but wanted some assessment of the financial impact of the improvements. To make this assessment, the following financial data were collected for the two years. Year 1 Year 2 Sales $ 10,000,000 $ 10,000,000 Scrap 400,000 300,000 Rework 600,000 400,000 Product inspection 100,000 125,000 Product warranty 800,000 600,000 Quality training 40,000 80,000 Materials inspection 60,000 40,000 Required: a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure. b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years. b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. The costs can be classified as follows:

Prevention: Quality training

Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection

Internal Failure: Scrap and rework

External Failure: Product Warranty

b-1. We have:

Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = 1.60%

Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = 1.65%

b-2. Profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.

Explanation:

a. Classify the costs as prevention, appraisal, internal failure, and external failure.

The costs can be classified as follows:

Prevention: Quality training

Appraisal: Product inspection and Material inspection

Internal Failure: Scrap and rework

External Failure: Product Warranty

b-1. Compute total quality cost as a percentage of sales for each of the two years.

Total quality cost as a percentage of sales = ((Product inspection + Material inspection) / Sales) * 100 ………………. (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 1 = (($100,000 + $60,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.60%

Total quality cost as a percentage of sales for Year 2 = (($125,000 + $40,000) / 10,000,000) * 100 = 1.65%

b-2. By how much has profit increased because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2?

To calculate the profit associated to quality, only costs associated to quality are deducted from Sales as follows:

Profit associated to quality = Sales - Scrap - Rework - Product inspection - Materials inspection ……… (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $10,000,000 - $400,000 - $600,000 - $100,000 - $60,000 = $8,840,000

Profit associated to quality for Year 2 = $10,000,000 - $300,000 - $400,000 - $125,000 - $40,000 = $9,135,000

Therefore, we have:

Increase in profit because of quality improvements = Profit associated to quality for Year 2 - Profit associated to quality for Year 1 = $9,135,000 - $8,840,000 = $295,000

Therefore, profit has increased by $295,000 because of quality improvements between Year 1 and Year 2.

Answers

Answer:

1. Depreciation expense per mile = $0.27 per mile

2-1. The straight-line method

We have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = $3,375

Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,375

2-2. Units-of-activity method

We have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = $4,347

Depreciation expense for 2021 = $3,456

2-3. The double-declining-balance method

We have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = $7,300

Depreciation expense for 2021 = $5,475

3. See the journal entries below.

4. Net book value = $25,825

Explanation:

1. Calculate depreciation expense per mile under units-of-activity method.

Depreciation expense per mile = (Purchase price delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Expected driven miles = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 100,000 = $0.27 per mile

2. Compute depreciation expense for 2020 and 2021 using (1) the straight-line method, (2) the units-of-activity method, and (3) the double- declining-balance method.

2-1. The straight-line method

Annual depreciation expense = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value) / Estimated useful life = ($29,200 - $2,200) / 8 = $3,375

Therefore, we have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375

Depreciation expense for 2021 = Annual depreciation expense = $3,375

2-2. Units-of-activity method

Depreciable amount = Purchase price of the delivery truck - Expected salvage value = $29,200 - $2,200 = $27,000

Therefore, we have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2020 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (16,100 / 100,000) = $4,347

Depreciation expense for 2021 = Depreciable amount * (Actual miles driven in 2021 / Expected driven miles) = $27,000 * (12,800 / 100,000) = $3,456

2-3. The double-declining-balance method

Straight-line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 1 / 8 = 0.1250, or 12.50%

Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = Straight-line method depreciation rate * 2 = 12.50% * 2 = 25%

Therefore, we have:

Depreciation expense for 2020 = Purchase price of the delivery truck * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = $29,200 * 25% = $7,300

Depreciation expense for 2021 = (Purchase price of the delivery truck - Depreciation expense for 2020) * Double-declining-balance method depreciation rate = ($29,200 - $7,300) * 25% = $5,475

For a given product demand, the time-series trend equation is 53 - 4 x. The negative sign on the slope of the equation:
a. is a mathematical impossibility.
b. is an indication that the forecast is biased, with forecast values lower than actual values.
c. is an indication that product demand is declining.
d. implies that the coefficient of determination will also be negative.
e. implies that the cumulative error will be negative.

Answers

Answer: is an indication that product demand is declining.

Explanation:

The negative sign on the slope of the time-series trend equation simply explains that the product demand is declining.

A negative slope indicates that two variables are negatively related which implies that when the value of x increases, rhen the value of y decreases, and vice versa. When putting this in a graph, the line falls when the line that's on the line graph shifts from left to right.

The management of Penfold Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $270,000, would last for 5 years, and would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other costs by $60,000 per year. The company requires a minimum pretax return of 12% on all investment projects. The net present value of the proposed project is closest to:______.
a. $(11,700).
b. $(53,700).
c. $(269,997).
d. $(113,700).

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment= $270,000

Cash flow= $60,000

Number of years= 5

Discount rate= 12%

To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:

Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43

Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63

.....

Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61

∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57

Now, the NPV:

NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57

NPV= -53,713.43

Boenisch Corporation produces and sells a single product with the following characteristics: The company is currently selling 8,000 units per month. Fixed expenses are $406,000 per month. Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $3. Since the new component would increase the features of the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 400 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change

Answers

Answer: Increase by $2,000

Explanation:

Current net operating income is:

= Contribution margin - Fixed costs

= (68 * 8,000) - 406,000

= $138,000

If component is added, Variable cost increases by $3 to $105. New contribution margin is:

= 170 - 105

= $65

Units sold increases by 400 to 8,400.

Net operating income becomes:

= (65 * 8,400) - 406,000

= $140,000

Net operating income increased by:

= 140,000 - 138,000

= $2,000
