Chapter 28, Problem 1E
Henry’s Cafe is a local restaurant that is growing quickly. While the company does not yet have a balanced scorecard, Henry has mentioned that being efficient in producing meals is a high priority of his business and appears to be a significant driver of profits. Henry tells you he gathers the following data: sales, cost of labor, employee turnover, labor hours, cost of ingredients, overhead costs, average training hours per employee, number of erroneous meals prepared, the time when orders were made (e.g., at 12:43 PM), the time when orders were delivered, and number of customers per day.
- a. Under which performance perspective on the balanced scorecard should Henry’s strategic objective to efficiently produce meals be placed?
- b. Based on the data collected, what are at least three performance metrics Henry could develop to measure his strategic objective to efficiently produce meals?
- c. Identify whether the performance metrics you suggested in part (b) are leading or lagging indicators relative to a performance metric “total cost of production per meal.”

- Silver Lining Inc. has a balanced scorecard with a strategy map that shows that delivery time and the number of erroneous shipments are expected to affect the companys ability to satisfy the customer. Further, the strategy map for the balanced scorecard shows that the hours from ordered to delivered affects the percentage of customers who shop again, and the number of erroneous shipments affects the online customer satisfaction rating. The following information is also available: The companys target hours from ordered to delivered is 40. Every hour over the ordered-to-delivered target results in a 0.5% decrease in the percentage of customers who shop again. The companys target number of erroneous shipments per year is no more than 65. Every error over the erroneous shipments target results in a 0.5 point decrease in the online customer satisfaction rating and an added future financial loss of 500. The company estimates that for every 1% decrease in the percentage of customers who shop again, future profit decreases by 4,000 and market share decreases by 0.3%. The company also estimates that for every 1 point decrease in the overall online customer satisfaction rating (on a scale of 1 to 10), future profit decreases by 3,000 and market share decreases by 0.6%. Using these estimates, determine how much future profit and future market share will change if: Average hours from ordered to shipped is 27.5. Average shipping time (hours from shipped to delivered) is 16.3. Number of erroneous shipments is 80.arrow_forwardThe following situations describe scenarios that could use managerial accounting information: a.

Each segment is run by its own supervisor, while basic selling and administrative services are shared by both segments.Lenny has asked you to help him create a performance reporting system that will allow him to measure each segment’s performance in terms of its profitability. To that end, the following information has been collected on the Home Internet Service segment for the first quarter of 2017.

To see why, consider two equally productive accountants named Ted and Jared. Ted is black, and Jared is white. Both can complete 10 audits per month. Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. In part b, round your answer for profit rate to 1 decimal place. a. Suppose that for any accounting firm that hires either Ted or Jared, all the other costs of performing an audit (besides paying either Ted or Jared) come to $1,000 per audit. If the going rate that must be paid to hire an accountant is $7,000 per month, how much will it cost an accounting firm to produce one audit if it hires either Ted or Jared to do the work? $1,700 b. If the market price that accounting firms charge their clients for an audit is $1,800, what would the accounting profit per audit be for a firm that hired either Ted or Jared? $ 100 What is the profit rate as a percentage? 5.88 percent c.

- Rizzo Goal Inc. produces and sells hockey equipment, often custom made for online orders. The company has the following performance metrics on its balanced scorecard: days from ordered to delivered, number of shipping errors, customer retention rate, and market share. A measure map illustrates that the days from ordered to delivered and the number of shipping errors are both expected to directly affect the customer retention rate, which affects market share. Additional internal analysis finds that: Every shipping error over three shipping errors per month reduces the customer retention rate by 1.5%. On average, each day above three days from ordered to delivered yields a reduction in the customer retention rate of 1%. Each day before three days from order to delivery yields an increase in the customer retention rate of 1%, on average. Rizzo Goal Inc.s current customer retention rate is 60%. The company estimates that for every 1% increase or decrease in the customer retention rate, market share changes 0.5% in the same direction. Rizzo Goal Inc.s current market share is 21.4%. Ignoring any other factors, if the company has six shipping errors this month and an average of 3.5 days from ordered to delivered, determine (a) the new customer retention rate and (b) the new market share that Rizzo Goal Inc. expects to have.arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardThe owner-manager of Molena Restaurant describes the balanced scorecard measures used to assess performance by listing the performance measures (given in the below table): Required: Link the measures to the perspective number(s) of the balanced scorecard.
