Defectives Item Affects The Profits

The Chinese department store’s order would require significant communication with the UK based research and development centre which would take time to develop new ideas for products and cost money as well. The factory is also running at high levels of capacity with capacity utilisation of 95% which is 30% more than the UK factory. Since the factory is running at a higher capacity utilisation level it means that the number of defective products has raised as well as the care for quality has decreased and volume has increased. Andrew is worried this might not give the good impression that is needed from the company as they are trying to sell high quality British products. The amounts of defective products in the Chinese

While we are performing our analysis on different aspects of the company, we look at the three main types of cost.

Prevention costs, appraisal costs and Failure costs are areas

Internal failures happen for a variety of reasons, defective materials, incorrect machine settings, faulty equipment, carelessness and others. The trade-off cost for fixing these types of failures would be cost of additional production time, scrap materials and rework of inadequate products, investigation costs into the root cause of the issues as well as workers’ salaries to not only do the investigation and rework if needed, but the salaries of the employees that are not able to run the production lines to produce items. The other failure cost is External and these are failures that are discovered by the consumer once they have purchased the product. These can carry a much higher cost when found by the consumers. These costs can include Warranty repairs or replacements, costs of having a customer care center or call center to deal with customer complaints, discounts to customers for current or future products and Legal action if the failure of a product caused some type of personal injury.

This is a strength that reflects the strong sales during the period analyzed. Years 7 and 8 closely correlate with the overall loss of net sales, cost of goods sold and therefor, decreased sales numbers between years 7 and 8. The gross profit respectively is -16.3% or -$266,000 when compared to year 8. This is a weakness but still represents a strength because the company still grossed or made $1,371,400 before expenses. The horizontal analysis demonstrates it as a loss or a weakness, but positive sales in whether trending in a negative way are positive results when analyzing a positive gross profit. A strong manager would investigate why sales are down and make changes to ensure growth is seen.

The first thing that the production manager must consider is the optimal quantity of cases that can be produced. The marketing manager has indicated that if the economy is strong then Motorking will sell 100,000 cases.

After interpreting the scatter plot, it is evident that the slope of the ‘best fit’ line is positive, which indicates that sales amount varies directly with calls. As call increases, the sales amount increases as well.

In terms of industry profitability, it appears that profit margins have a tendency to fall. This is because competition is high and customers tend to buy low-priced high-value items. The average gross margin and net profit margin is 37.1% and 14.3%, respectively (MSN Money, 2010).

In addition to affecting profits by adjusting useful life and depreciation; key ratios will also be affected. The net profit margin can be influenced both ways to fit the purpose of business strategy. It could be increased to make it seem more profitable, or it can be influenced in a negative way to write off as much expenses as possible – if the year held disappointing results – in order to show next year more positively in comparison.

Support: The inventory increase in 1997, YOY, was 58%. Additionally, the COGS to revenue ratio reduced from to 72% in 1997. This combination of increase in inventory and reduction in COGS as a percentage of revenue seems to indicate that the fixed costs may have been spread over a larger base through over production, thereby causing the COGS to reduce. This may be a cause for concern and could be a potential red flag.

A buyer’s efforts may not be thwarted if the buyer failed in their due diligence and if the physical inspection of a property failed to find a discoverable material fact. Daly v. Kochanowicz, 67 A.D.3d 78 (N.Y. App. Div. 2009). In Daly, the buyer’s inspector discovered evidence of water intrusion on the property and recommended that the buyer “talk to neighbors and contact knowledgeable local officials” regarding the defect. Daly v. Kochanowicz, 67 A.D.3d 78 (N.Y. App. Div. 2009). The buyer failed to perform due diligence as required to investigate the possibility of water intrusion affecting the property, consequently the seller did not thwart the buyer’s efforts because the buyer unilaterally failed to perform their duties under the doctrine
