- Javier Company has sales of 8 million and quality costs of 1,600,000. The company is embarking on a major quality improvement program. During the next three years, Javier intends to attack failure costs by increasing its appraisal and prevention costs. The right prevention activities will be selected, and appraisal costs will be reduced according to the results achieved. For the coming year, management is considering six specific activities: quality training, process control, product inspection, supplier evaluation, prototype testing, and redesign of two major products. To encourage managers to focus on reducing non-value-added quality costs and select the right activities, a bonus pool is established relating to reduction of quality costs. The bonus pool is equal to 10 percent of the total reduction in quality costs. Current quality costs and the costs of these six activities are given in the following table. Each activity is added sequentially so that its effect on the cost categories can be assessed. For example, after quality training is added, the control costs increase to 320,000, and the failure costs drop to 1,040,000. Even though the activities are presented sequentially, they are totally independent of each other. Thus, only beneficial activities need be selected. Required: 1. Identify the control activities that should be implemented, and calculate the total quality costs associated with this selection. Assume that an activity is selected only if it increases the bonus pool. 2. Given the activities selected in Requirement 1, calculate the following: a. The reduction in total quality costs b. The percentage distribution for control and failure costs c. The amount for this years bonus pool 3. Suppose that a quality engineer complained about the gainsharing incentive system. Basically, he argued that the bonus should be based only on reductions of failure and appraisal costs. In this way, investment in prevention activities would be encouraged, and eventually, failure and appraisal costs would be eliminated. After eliminating the non-value-added costs, focus could then be placed on the level of prevention costs. If this approach were adopted, what activities would be selected? Do you agree or disagree with this approach? Explain.In 20x5, Major Company initiated a full-scale, quality improvement program. At the end of the year, Jack Aldredge, the president, noted with some satisfaction that the defects per unit of product had dropped significantly compared to the prior year. He was also pleased that relationships with suppliers had improved and defective materials had declined. The new quality training program was also well accepted by employees. Of most interest to the president, however, was the impact of the quality improvements on profitability. To help assess the dollar impact of the quality improvements, the actual sales and the actual quality costs for 20x4 and 20x5 are as follows by quality category: All prevention costs are fixed (by discretion). Assume all other quality costs are unit-level variable. Required: 1. Compute the relative distribution of quality costs for each year and prepare a pie chart. Do you believe that the company is moving in the right direction in terms of the balance among the quality cost categories? Explain. 2. Prepare a one-year trend performance report for 20x5 (compare the actual costs of 20x5 with those of 20x4, adjusted for differences in sales volume). How much have profits increased because of the quality improvements made by Major Company? 3. Estimate the additional improvement in profits if Major Company ultimately reduces its quality costs to 2.5 percent of sales revenues (assume sales of 10 million).Recently, Ulrich Company received a report from an external consulting group on its quality costs. The consultants reported that the companys quality costs total about 21 percent of its sales revenues. Somewhat shocked by the magnitude of the costs, Rob Rustin, president of Ulrich Company, decided to launch a major quality improvement program. For the coming year, management decided to reduce quality costs to 17 percent of sales revenues. Although the amount of reduction was ambitious, most company officials believed that the goal could be realized. To improve the monitoring of the quality improvement program, Rob directed Pamela Golding, the controller, to prepare monthly performance reports comparing budgeted and actual quality costs. Budgeted costs and sales for the first two months of the year are as follows: The following actual sales and actual quality costs were reported for January: Required: 1. Reorganize the monthly budgets so that quality costs are grouped in one of four categories: appraisal, prevention, internal failure, or external failure. (Essentially, prepare a budgeted cost of quality report.) Also, identify each cost as variable (V) or fixed (F). (Assume that no costs are mixed.) 2. Prepare a performance report for January that compares actual costs with budgeted costs. Comment on the companys progress in improving quality and reducing its quality costs.
- In 20x4, Tru-Delite Frozen Desserts, Inc., instituted a quality improvement program. At the end of 20x5, the management of the corporation requested a report to show the amount saved by the measures taken during the year. The actual sales and quality costs for 20x4 and 20x5 are as follows: Tru-Delites management believes that quality costs can be reduced to 2.5 percent of sales within the next five years. At the end of 20x9, Tru-Delites sales are projected to grow to 750,000. The projected relative distribution of quality costs at the end of 20x9 is as follows: Required: 1. Profits increased by what amount due to quality improvements made in 20x5? 2. Prepare a long-range performance report that compares the quality costs incurred at the end of 20x5 with the quality cost structure expected at the end of 20x9. 3. Are the targeted costs in the year 20x9 all value-added costs? How would you interpret the variances if the targeted costs are value-added costs? 4. What would be the profit increase in 20x9 if the 2.5 percent performance standard is met in that year?Suppose that Kicker had the following sales and cost experience (in thousands of dollars) for May of the current year and for May of the prior year: In May of the prior year, Kicker started an intensive quality program designed to enable it to build original equipment manufacture (OEM) speaker systems for a major automobile company. The program was housed in research and development. In the beginning of the current year, Kickers accounting department exercised tighter control over sales commissions, ensuring that no dubious (e.g., double) payments were made. The increased sales in the current year required additional warehouse space that Kicker rented in town. (Round ratios to four decimal places. Round sales dollars computations to the nearest dollar.) Required: 1. Calculate the contribution margin ratio for May of both years. 2. Calculate the break-even point in sales dollars for both years. 3. Calculate the margin of safety in sales dollars for both years. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Analyze the differences shown by your calculations in Requirements 1, 2, and 3.In 2011, Milton Thayne, president of Carbondale Electronics, received a report indicating that quality costs were 31 percent of sales. Faced with increasing pressures from imported goods, Milton resolved to take measures to improve the overall quality of the companys products. After hiring a consultant in 20x0, the company began an aggressive program of total quality control. At the end of 20x5, Milton requested an analysis of the progress the company had made in reducing and controlling quality costs. The Accounting Department assembled the following data: Required: 1. Compute the quality costs as a percentage of sales by category and in total for each year. 2. Prepare a multiple-year trend graph for quality costs, both by total costs and by category. Using the graph, assess the progress made in reducing and controlling quality costs. Does the graph provide evidence that quality has improved? Explain. 3. Using the 20x1 quality cost relationships (assume all costs are variable), calculate the quality costs that would have prevailed in 20x4. By how much did profits increase in 20x4 because of the quality improvement program? Repeat for 20x5.
- Walloon Company produced 150 defective units last month at a unit manufacturing cost of 30. The defective units were discovered before leaving the plant. Walloon can sell them as is for 20 or can rework them at a cost of 15 and sell them at the regular price of 50. What is the total relevant cost of reworking the defective units? a. 2,250 b. 3,000 c. 4,500 d. 6,750Using the Taguchi quality loss function, an average loss of 20 per unit is calculated. During the year, 25,000 units were produced. Which of the following statements represents the correct application of the Taguchi loss function? a. The hidden costs of internal failure are 500,000. b. The hidden costs of external failure are 500,000. c. The costs of detection activities are 20 per unit inspected. d. The total external costs are 500,000.The demand for solvent, one of numerous products manufactured by Logan Industries Inc., has dropped sharply because of recent competition from a similar product. The companys chemists are currently completing tests of various new formulas, and it is anticipated that the manufacture of a superior product can be started on November 1, one month in the future. No changes will be needed in the present production facilities to manufacture the new product because only the mixture of the various materials will be changed. The controller has been asked by the president of the company for advice on whether to continue production during October or to suspend the manufacture of solvent until November 1. The following data have been assembled: The production costs and selling and administrative expenses, based on production of 10,000 units in September, are as follows: Sales for October are expected to drop about 40% below those of September. No significant changes are anticipated in the fixed costs or variable costs per unit. No extra costs will be incurred in discontinuing operations in the portion of the plant associated with solvent. The inventory of solvent at the beginning and end of October is not expected to be significant (material). Instructions 1. Prepare an estimated income statement in absorption costing form for October for solvent, assuming that production continues during the month. 2. Prepare an estimated income statement in variable costing form for October for solvent, assuming that production continues during the month. 3. What would be the estimated operating loss if the solvent production were temporarily suspended for October? 4. What advice should you give to management?
- Luna Company is a printing company and a subsidiary of a large publishing company. Luna is in its fourth year of a 5-year, quality improvement program. The program began in 20X1 as a result of a report by a consulting firm that revealed that quality costs were about 20% of sales. Concerned about the level of quality costs, Lunas top management began a 5-year plan in 20X1 with the objective of lowering quality costs to 10% of sales by the end of 20X5. Sales and quality costs for each year are as follows: Quality costs by category are expressed as a percentage of sales as follows: The detail of the 20X5 budget for quality costs is also provided. Actual quality costs for 20X4 and 20X5 are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare an interim quality cost performance report for 20X5 that compares actual quality costs with budgeted quality costs. Comment on the firms ability to achieve its quality goals for the year. 2. Prepare a single-period quality performance report for 20X5 that compares the actual quality costs of 20X4 with the actual costs of 20X5. How much did profits change because of improved quality? 3. Prepare a graph that shows the trend in total quality costs as a percentage of sales since the inception of the quality improvement program. 4. Prepare a graph that shows the trend for all four quality cost categories for 20X1 through 20X5. How does this graph help management know that the reduction in total quality costs is attributable to quality improvements? 5. Assume that the company is preparing a second 5-year plan to reduce quality costs to 2.5% of sales. Prepare a long-range quality cost performance report that compares the costs for 20X5 with those planned for the end of the second 5-year period. Assume sales of 45 million at the end of 5 years. The final planned relative distribution of quality costs is as follows: proofreading, 50%; other inspection, 13%; quality training, 30%; and quality reporting, 7%. Assume that all prevention costs are fixed and all other costs are variable (with respect to sales).Cassara, Inc., had the following quality costs for the years ended December 31, 20X1 and 20X2: At the end of 20X1, management decided to increase its investment in control costs by 40% for each categorys items, with the expectation that failure costs would decrease by 25% for each item of the failure categories. Sales were 12,000,000 for both 20X1 and 20X2. Required: 1. Calculate the budgeted costs for 20X2, and prepare an interim quality performance report. 2. Comment on the significance of the report. How much progress has Cassara made?MinnOil performs oil changes and other minor maintenance services on cars and trucks. The company advertises that all services are performed within 15 minutes each. On a recent Saturday, 160 cars were serviced, resulting in the following labor variances: rate, 19 unfavorable; efficiency (time), 14 favorable.
