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.

What would be the profit increase in 20x9 if the 2.5 percent performance standard is met in that year?arrow_forward
- At the end of 20x5, Bing Pharmaceuticals began to implement an environmental quality management program. As a first step, it identified the following costs in its accounting records as environmentally related for the calendar year just ended: Required: 1. Prepare an environmental cost report by category. Assume that total operating costs are 150,000,000. 2. Use a pie chart to illustrate the relative distribution percentages for each environmental cost category. Comment on what this distribution communicates to a manager.arrow_forwardKang Company reported sales of 3,240,000 in 20x5. At the end of the calendar year, the following quality costs were reported: Required: 1. Prepare a quality cost report. 2. Prepare a graph (pie chart or bar graph) that shows the relative distribution of quality costs, and comment on the distribution.arrow_forwardMuskogee Company had sales of 60,000,000 in 20x1. In 20x5, sales had increased to 75,000,000. A quality improvement program was implemented at the beginning of 20x1. Overall conformance quality was targeted for improvement. The quality costs for 20x1 and 20x5 follow. Assume any changes in quality costs are attributable to improvements in quality. Required: 1. Compute the quality cost-to-sales ratio for each year. Is this type of improvement possible? 2. Calculate the relative distribution of costs by category for 20x1. What do you think of the way costs are distributed? (A pie chart or bar graph may be of some help.) How do you think they will be distributed as the company approaches a zero-defects state? 3. Calculate the relative distribution of costs by category for 20x5. What do you think of the level and distribution of quality costs? (A pie chart or bar graph may be of some help.) Do you think further reductions are possible? 4. The quality manager for Muskogee indicated that the external failure costs reported are only the measured costs. He argued that the 20x5 external costs were much higher than those reported and that additional investment ought to be made in control costs. Discuss the validity of his viewpoint. 5. Suppose that the manager of Muskogee received a bonus equal to 10 percent of the quality cost savings each year. Do you think that gainsharing is a good or a bad idea? Discuss the risks of gainsharing.arrow_forward

The program began in 20x0 with an internal study that revealed the quality costs being incurred. In that year, a five-year plan was developed to lower quality costs to 10 percent of sales by the end of 20x5. Sales and quality costs for each year are as follows: Budgeted figures. 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. All prevention costs are fixed; all other quality costs are variable. During 20x5, the company had 12 million in sales. 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 one-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 five-year plan to reduce quality costs to 2.5 percent of sales. Prepare a long-range quality cost performance report assuming sales of 15 million at the end of five years. Assume that the final planned relative distribution of quality costs is as follows: proofreading, 50 percent; other inspection, 13 percent; quality training, 30 percent; and quality reporting, 7 percent.arrow_forwardVerde Company reported operating costs of 50,000,000 as of December 31, 20x5, with the following environmental costs: Required: 1.

Prepare a pie chart that shows the relative distribution of environmental costs by category. What does this report tell you? 3. What if Verde deliberately did not include the cost of damaging the ecosystem because of solid waste disposal in its environmental cost report? Offer possible reasons for this decision. If consciously avoided, is this decision unethical?arrow_forward
