Kiley Corporation had the following data for the most recent year (in millions). The new CFO believes (1) that an improved inventory management system could lower the average inventory by $4,000, (2) that improvements in the credit department could reduce receivables by $2,000, and (3) that the purchasing department could negotiate better credit terms and thereby increase accounts payable by $2,000.

- Harrison Jones is a marketer of facial care products. It plans on introducing a new product line next year and is not quite certain whether its sales team can accomplish the sales objectives. It must determine how much dollar business it must do to at least break even. Its historical average annual sales has been $10,000,000 and its cost of sales has been $4,500,000. Its planned investment in the new business is $450,000. How much dollar business must Harrison Jones do in order to recoup its planned investment?arrow_forwardJamison examined monthly data for 2016 (not given in the case), and she detected an improving pattern during the year. Monthly sales were rising, costs were falling, and large losses in the early months had turned to a small profit by December. Thus, the annual data look somewhat worse than the final monthly data. Also, it appears to be taking longer for the advertising program to get the message out, for the new sales offices to generate sales, and for the new manufacturing facilities to operate efficiently. In other words, the lags between spending money and deriving benefits were longer than D’Leon’s managers had anticipated. For these reasons, Jamison and Campo see hope for the company—provided it can survive in the short run. Jamison must prepare an analysis of where the company is now, what it must do to regain its financial health, and what actions should be taken. Your assignment is to help her answer the following questions.

The following discussion took place between the controller, Gordon Merrick, and the company president, Matt McCray: Matt: I’ve been looking over our first year’s performance by quarters. Our earnings have been increasing each quarter, even though our sales have been flat and our prices and costs have not changed. Why is this? Gordon: Our actual sales have stayed even throughout the year, but we’ve been increasing the utilization of our factory every quarter. By keeping our factory utilization high, we will keep our costs down by allocating the fixed plant costs over a greater number of units. Naturally, this causes our cost per unit to be lower than it would be otherwise. Matt: Yes, but what good is this if we are unable to sell everything that we make? Our inventory is also increasing. Gordon: This is true. However, our unit costs are lower because of the…arrow_forward

If in addition to his fixed salary, the store manager is paida commission of ₱30 per unit in excess of the break-even point, what would be the store’s operating income if 10,000 units were sold.arrow_forwardAbercrombie & Fitch, once the favorite of loyal teens, is considering lowering prices on all items it sells in an effort to win them back after several years of sales declines. A&F’s total sales were $4 billion last year, but they have been declining in the face of a weak economy and an intensively competitive retail environment. Price reductions are often effective in increasing sales, but marketers need to analyze how much sales must go up before a price reduction pays off and increases revenue enough to make the it worth doing. Assuming A&F’s gross profit margin is 60 percent and cost of goods sold represents the only variable cost, by how much must sales increase to maintain the same gross profit margin in terms of absolute dollars if A&F lowers prices by 10 percent?arrow_forwardAbercrombie & Fitch, once the favorite of loyal teens, is considering lowering prices on all items it sells in an effort to win them back after several years of sales declines.
