Strategic Initiatives and CSR
Blue Skies Inc. is a retail gardening company that is piloting a new strategic initiative aimed at increasing gross profit. Currently, the company’s gross profit is 21% of sales, and its target gross profit percentage is 26%. The company’s current monthly sales revenue is $540,000.
The new initiative being piloted is to produce goods in-house instead of buying them from wholesale suppliers. Its in-house production process has two procedures. The makeup of the costs of production for Procedure 1 is 40% direct labor, 45% direct materials, and 15% overhead. The makeup of the costs of production for Procedure 2 is 50% direct labor, 25% direct materials, and 25% overhead. Assume that Procedure 1 costs twice as much as Procedure 2.

M & Z Creameries, Corp. process milk and sugar to make vanilla ice cream. They sell their ice cream in large one-gallon containers to schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants. Each batch produces 1,700 gallons of ice cream at a cost of $840 per batch. M & Z Creameries, Corp. sells the one-gallon containers for $23.00 each and spends $0.35 for each plastic container. M & Z Creameries, Corp. has started to determine the feasibility of adding chocolate and strawberries and sell pint-size portions at local supermarkets.Further processing of each batch of ice cream could produce 24,400 pint-sized portions. A recent market study determined a demand existed for this type of product. M & Z Creameries, Corp. could sell each pint-sized portion for $2.70. Additional packaging would cost $0.30 per pint, and the additional materials would cost $0.25 per pint. There would be no change in fixed costs.Should they continue to sell only one-gallon size containers of vanilla ice…

As a result, he is considering the opportunity to invest in two independent projects. The first is called the Espresso-Pro; it is an in-home espresso maker that can brew regular coffee as well as make espresso and latte drinks. While the market for espresso drinkers is small initially, he believes this market can grow, especially around gift-giving occasions. The second is the Mini-Prep appliance that can be used to do small chopping and dicing chores that do not require a full-sized food processor. Without the investments, the division expects that Year 2 data will remain unchanged. The expected operating incomes and the outlay required for each investment are as follows: Jarriots corporate headquarters has made available up to 500,000 of capital for this division. Any funds not invested by the division will be retained by headquarters and invested to earn the companys minimum required rate of return, 9 percent. Required: 1. Compute the ROI for each investment. 2. Compute the divisional ROI (rounded to four significant digits) for each of the following four alternatives: a. The Espresso-Pro is added. b. The Mini-Prep is added. c. Both investments are added. d. Neither investment is made; the status quo is maintained. Assuming that divisional managers are evaluated and rewarded on the basis of ROI performance, which alternative do you think the divisional manager will choose?arrow_forwardQuality Clothing, Inc., produces skorts and jumper uniforms for schoolchildren. In the process of cutting out the cloth pieces for each product, a certain amount of scrap cloth is produced. Quality has been selling this cloth scrap to Jorges Scrap Warehouse for $3.25 per pound. Last year, the company sold 40,000 lb. of scrap, which would be enough to make 10,000 teddy bears that the management of Quality is now interested in producing. Their processes would need some reprogramming, particularly in the cutting and stitching processes, but it would require no additional worker training. However, new packaging would be needed. The total variable cost to produce the teddy bears $3.85. Fixed costs would increase by $95,000 per year for the lease of the packaging equipment and Quality estimates it could produce and sell 10,000 teddy bears per year. Finished teddy bears could be sold for $18.00 each. Should Quality continue to sell the scrap cloth or should Quality process the scrap into teddy bears to sell?arrow_forward

While racks normally sell for $245 each, Carly’s Corner offered $75 per rack. The CEO explained that the number of families they served had grown significantly over the past two years, and that the charity needed additional storage for the donated food items.

The company does 100 percent of its business over the Internet to consumers and through private networks with retail trading partners. Recently, Hexagon moved its sales and business headquarters functions into a warehouse on the outskirts of San Francisco. Prior to the move, the company engaged the services of an architect to redesign the facility to be modern yet in keeping with the original character of the building. While remodeling the warehouse, the architects retained the wooden-shingled exterior and the exposed wooden beams throughout the interior. The data processing center, which contained the servers and networked terminals, was situated in a large open area with high ceilings and skylights. The center was made accessible to the rest of the staff to be consistent with the firms philosophy of removing barriers and encouraging a team approach to problem solving. Before occupying the new facility, city inspectors declared the building to be compliant with all relevant building codes. In a recent compliance audit, Hexagons auditors advised the companys management to develop a disaster recovery plan. Toward this end, the company entered into a mutual aid agreement with several other firms in the area that had similar technology systems. These firms all agreed verbally to provide emergency assistance to each other in the event of disasters or emergencies. In addition, Hexagon implemented a data backup system in which all files are copied daily to tapes and disks and each week the backup storage devices are taken to an offsite facility where they are secured. The operators manual with instructions on how to restore the system is stored in the main data processing area along with a list of names and phone numbers of key IT professionals to contact in case of an emergency. Required a. Describe the internal control weaknesses present at Hexagon. b. List the components that should be included in a disaster recovery plan for a company like Hexagon. c. What factors, other than those included in the plan itself, should a company consider when formulating a disaster recovery plan?arrow_forward
