Techno
Instruments uses a manufacturing costing system with one direct-cost category (direct materials) and three indirect-cost categories:
a.
Setup, production-order, and materials-handling costs that vary with the number of batches
b.
Manufacturing-operations costs that vary with machine-hours
c.
Costs of engineering changes that vary with the number of engineering changes made

Berlin Corp. makes a special-purpose machine called HTW used in the textile industry. Berlin Corp. has designed the HTW machine for 2017 to be distinct from its competitors. It has been generally regarded as a superior machine. Berlin Corp. presents the following data for 2016 and 2017.)(see picture)
Berlin Corp. produces no defective machines, but it wants to reduce direct materials usage per HTW machine in 2017. Conversion costs in each year depend on production capacity defined in terms of HTW units that can be produced, not the actual units produced. Selling and customer- service costs depend on the number of customers that Berlin Corp. can support, not the actual number of customers it serves. Berlin Corp. has 75 customers in 2016 and 80 customers in 2017.

- CMA-ADAPTED PERFORMANCE MEASURES The Star Paper Division of Royal Industries is located near Los Angeles. A major expansion of the divisions only plant was completed in April 2015. The expansion consisted of an addition to the existing building, additions to the production line machinery, and the replacement of obsolete and fully depreciated equipment that was no longer efficient or cost-effective. On May 1, 2015, George Harris became manager of Star. Harris had a meeting with Marie Fortner, vice president of operations for Royal, who explained to Harris that the company measured the performance of divisions and division managers on the basis of return on gross assets (ROA). When Harris asked if other measures were used in conjunction with ROA, Fortner replied, Royals top management prefers to use a single performance measure. Star should do well this year now that it has expanded and replaced all of that old equipment. You should have no problem exceeding the divisions historical rate. Ill check with you at the end of each quarter to see how you are doing. Fortner called Harris after the first quarter results were completed because Stars ROA was considerably below the historical rate for the division. Harris told Fortner that he did not believe that ROA was a valid performance measure for Star. Fortner indicated that she would discuss this with others at headquarters and get back to Harris. However, there was no further discussion of the use of ROA but only reports on divisional performance at the end of the second and third quarters. Now that the fiscal year has ended, Harris has received the memorandum in the figure designated for Problem 14. PROBLEM 14: PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO: George Harris, Star Paper Division FROM: Marie Fortner, Royal Industries SUBJECT: Divisional Performance The operating results for the fourth quarter and for our fiscal year ended on April 30 are now complete. Your fourth quarter return on gross assets was only 9 percent, resulting in a return for the year of slightly under 11 percent. I recall discussing your low return after the first quarter and reminding you after the second and third quarters that this level of return is not considered adequate for the Star Paper Division. The return on gross assets at Star has ranged from 15 to 18 percent for the past five years. An 11 percent return may be acceptable at some of Royals other divisions, but not at a proven winner like Star, especially in light of your recently improved facility. Please arrange to meet with me in the near future to discuss ways to restore Stars return on gross assets to its former level. Harris is looking forward to meeting with Fortner as he plans to pursue the discussion about the appropriateness of ROA as a performance measure for Star. While the ROA for Star is below historical levels, the divisions profits for the year are higher than at any previous time. Harris is going to recommend that ROA be replaced with multiple criteria for evaluating performancenamely, dollar profit, receivable turnover, and inventory turnover. Required a. Identify general criteria that should be used in selecting performance measures to evaluate operating managers. b. Describe the probable cause of the decline in the Star Paper Divisions return on gross assets during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. c. On the basis of the relationship between Fortner and Harris, as well as the memorandum from Fortner, discuss apparent weaknesses in the performance evaluation process at Royal Industries. d. Discuss whether the multiple performance evaluation criteria that Harris suggested would be appropriate for the evaluation of the Star Paper Division.arrow_forwardIn 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?
