Interim Quality Performance Reports

Good quality cost management requires that quality costs be reported and controlled (control having a cost reduction emphasis). Control enables managers to compare actual outcomes with standard outcomes to gauge performance and take any necessary corrective actions. The total quality management standard is the robust zero-defects standard. This standard requires that goods and services be produced that meet the targeted value of specified quality characteristics. Achieving zero defects typically requires years and so a variety of quality performance reports are used to measure the progress of a company’s quality improvement program. One such report is the interim standard report. This report measures progress by comparing this year’s quality costs to the budgeted quality costs for the year. The budgeted quality costs are a reduction in the prior year’s quality costs resulting from planned quality improvements.

Apply the Concepts

The actual quality costs are provided for Wilson Company for the years ended June 30, Year 1 and June 30, Year 2:

At the end of Year 1, management decided to increase its investment in control costs by 25 percent for each category’s items with the expectation that failure costs would decrease by 20 percent for each item of the failure categories. Sales were $12,800,000 for both Year 1 and Year 2.

1. Prepare the budgeted costs for Year 2, and prepare an interim quality performance report by completing the following table (round all budgeted amounts to the nearest dollar and percentages to two decimal places):

Simon Company's year-end balance sheets follow.

1. Express the balance sheets in common-size percents. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)
2. Assuming annual sales have not changed in the last three years, is the change in accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets favorable or unfavorable?
3. Assuming annual sales have not changed in the last three years, is the change in merchandise inventory as a percentage of total assets favorable or unfavorable?

Beech Corporation is a merchandising company that is preparing a master budget for the third quarter of the calendar year. The company’s balance sheet as of June 30th is shown below:

Beech’s managers have made the following additional assumptions and estimates:

1. Estimated sales for July, August, September, and October will be $230,000, $250,000, $240,000, and $260,000, respectively.

2. All sales are on credit and all credit sales are collected. Each month’s credit sales are collected 45% in the month of sale and 55% in the month following the sale. All of the accounts receivable at June 30 will be collected in July.

3. Each month’s ending inventory must equal 20% of the cost of next month’s sales. The cost of goods sold is 70% of sales. The company pays for 30% of its merchandise purchases in the month of the purchase and the remaining 70% in the month following the purchase. All of the accounts payable at June 30 will be paid in July.

4. Monthly selling and administrative expenses are always $42,000. Each month $7,000 of this total amount is depreciation expense and the remaining $35,000 relates to expenses that are paid in the month they are incurred.

5. The company does not plan to borrow money or pay or declare dividends during the quarter ended September 30. The company does not plan to issue any common stock or repurchase its own stock during the quarter ended September 30.

Required:

1. Prepare a schedule of expected cash collections for July, August, and September. Also compute total cash collections for the quarter ended September 30.

2-a. Prepare a merchandise purchases budget for July, August, and September. Also compute total merchandise purchases for the quarter ended September 30.

2-b. Prepare a schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases for July, August, and September. Also compute total cash disbursements for merchandise purchases for the quarter ended September 30.

3. Prepare an income statement for the quarter ended September 30.

Blackburn Inc. uses Otavalo Manufacturing and Piura Company to buy two precision machined parts used in the manufacture of its permanent-magnet motors: Part #625 and Part #827. Consider two activities: testing parts and reordering parts. After the two parts are inserted, testing is done to ensure that the two parts work as intended. Reordering occurs because one or both of the parts have failed the test and it is necessary to replenish part inventories. Activity cost information and other data needed for supplier costing are as follows:

I. Activity Costs Caused by Suppliers (testing failures and reordering as a result)

II. Supplier Data

Required:

Determine the cost of each supplier by using ABC. Round unit costs to two decimal places.

During Heaton Company’s first two years of operations, it reported absorption costing net operating income as follows:

* $3 per unit variable; $251,000 fixed each year.

1. Using variable costing, what is the unit product cost for both years?

2. What is the variable costing net operating income in Year 1 and in Year 2?

Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below:

Required:

1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.

2. The president believes that a $6,900 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $80,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the increase (decrease) in the company’s monthly net operating income?

3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $33,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. If the sales manager is right, what will be the revised net operating income (loss)?

4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would grow sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by 0.50 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of $4,300?

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $52,000 each month.

a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.

b. Assume that the company expects to sell 20,200 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one assuming that operations are not automated and one assuming that they are. (Show data on a per unit and percentage basis, as well as in total, for each alternative.)

c. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations (Assuming that the company expects to sell 20,200)?
