- Coulson and Company is a large retail business that has a firm-wide balanced scorecard. Recently, management has discussed the need for the balanced scorecard to be more relevant to each individual department of the company. Specifically, management wants to come up with unique scorecards for its Public Relations and Inventory Management departments. For both departments, management recognizes that properly and efficiently training employees is important. For these purposes, management gathers data on the median training hours per employee and new employee performance review ratings. For the Inventory Management Department, management is focused on reducing stockouts (running out of certain inventory items) and keeping accurate inventory counts. For these purposes, the company tracks the number of back orders and discrepancies between the physical and record counts of inventory, respectively. For the Public Relations Department, management is focused on improving the publics CSR image of the company and attracting new customers. Management measures these objectives using Forbes CSR Rating of Coulson and Company and the number of new customers, respectively. a. Identify the term for Coulson and Companys plan to create unique balanced scorecards for its individual departments. b. Draw the unique balanced scorecards of each department. Identify the departments common and unique measures, and include all the elements of the balanced scorecard that you can in your drawings, given the information provided.72 Inc. has developed a balanced scorecard with the following performance metrics: Total sales Employee turnover Market share Number of shipping errors Median training hours per employee Number of new customers Relative to the metric customer satisfaction ratings, which of these performance metrics are leading indicators and which are lagging indicators?In 20X1, Don Blackburn, president of Price Electronics, received a report indicating that quality costs were 31% of sales. Faced with increasing pressures from imported goods. Don resolved to take measures to improve the overall quality of the companys products. After hiring a consultant in 20X1, the company began an aggressive program of total quality control. At the end of 20X5, Don 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.
- A sign of the successful implementation of a balanced scorecard is the presence of cause-and-effect relationships. An example of this success for a hotel is meeting the target of: a. decreasing a customers check-in time, which causes an increase in the number of implemented employee suggestions. b. increasing employee training hours, which causes employee compensation to increase. c. increasing profit, which causes an increase in employee job satisfaction ratings. d. receiving more 5-star ratings from customers, which causes an increase in profit.What should an organization do if performance measures change? A. Make sure that the manager being evaluated is aware of the measurement change, as this may affect his or her decision-making. B. Make sure that the manager benefits without the corporation also benefitting. C. Make sure that there are significant overriding opportunities for each manager, if the manager is unaware of the change. D. Obtain customer surveys on the change before communicating the change to the manager.Bill Fremont, division controller and CMA, was upset by a recent memo he received from the divisional manager, Steve Preston. Bill was scheduled to present the divisions financial performance at headquarters in one week. In the memo, Steve had given Bill some instructions for this upcoming report. In particular, Bill had been told to emphasize the significant improvement in the divisions profits over last year. Bill, however, didnt believe that there was any real underlying improvement in the divisions performance and was reluctant to say otherwise. He knew that the increase in profits was because of Steves conscious decision to produce more inventory. In an earlier meeting, Steve had convinced his plant managers to produce more than they knew they could sell. He argued that by deferring some of this periods fixed costs, reported profits would jump. He pointed out two significant benefits. First, by increasing profits, the division could exceed the minimum level needed so that all the managers would qualify for the annual bonus. Second, by meeting the budgeted profit level, the division would be better able to compete for much-needed capital. Bill objected but had been overruled. The most persuasive counterargument was that the increase in inventory could be liquidated in the coming year as the economy improved. Bill, however, considered this event unlikely. From past experience, he knew that it would take at least two years of improved market demand before the productive capacity of the division was exceeded. Required: 1. Discuss the behavior of Steve Preston, the divisional manager. Was the decision to produce for inventory an ethical one? 2. What should Bill Fremont do? Should he comply with the directive to emphasize the increase in profits? If not, what options does he have? 3. Chapter 1 listed ethical standards for management accountants. Identify any standards that apply in this situation.

- Tools for Successful ABC/M Implementation The Consortium for Advanced ManagementInternational (CAM-I) and the American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC) collaborated ina survey of 166 manufacturing and service firms to assess the implementation of ABC/M in thesefirms. Sixty-eight percent of the respondents were in manufacturing and 25% in service companies.The results showed that the majority of senior managers reported “very successful” implementationsof the ABC/M system, while department managers were somewhat evenly split between “very successful” and “moderately successful.” Line personnel tended to vote “moderately successful.” So, thehigher the level in the organization, the more perceived benefit of the ABC/M system.Interviews with selected respondents and further data analysis showed that the three mostcommon characteristics of successful systems were (1) a high level of top-management supportand commitment; (2) technical competence of the implementation team; and (3)…Senior management is concerned that solely focus on ROI in measuring divisional performance could have an adverse long-run effect on Fairmont Publishing’s customers. What other measurement, if any, would you recommend Fairmont to use? ExplainABC Ltd has incorporated a bonus plan that rewards the board of directors (executive members) by providinga bonus of 3 percent of reported profits. This is an Accounting-based incentive that has the advantage whichthe accounting results may be based on subunit or divisional performance."A well-informed labour market will motivate management to work to maximize the value of its firm.Underperformance might lead to dismissal and, if the labor market is efficient in disseminating data, a 'failed'the manager might have difficulty attracting a position with comparable pay elsewhere."
