Crane Company purchased equipment on March 27, 2018, at a cost of $228,000. Management is contemplating the merits of using the diminishing-balance or units-of-production method of depreciation instead of the straight-line method, which it currently uses for other equipment. The new equipment has an estimated residual value of $4,000 and an estimated useful life of either four years or 80,000 units. Demand for the products produced by the equipment is sporadic so the equipment will be used more in some years than in others. Assume the equipment produces the following number of units each year: 14,200 units in 2018; 20,200 units in 2019; 20,600 units in 2020; 20,000 units in 2021; and 5,000 units in 2022.

Part 1: Firm Performance

In this spreadsheet, you will find data with a number of variables that are commonly studied in business strategy research. Working from column A across, each firm has an identifier code. Firm ownership is a dummy coded variable where 0 = publicly-traded and 1 = privately-held firm ownership. Firm performance is the company’s self-assessment about the extent to which they meet/exceed performance expectations.

The remaining variables are factors that are predicted to influence performance. Customer orientation measures the extent to which a firm focuses on its customers and their needs, wants, and preferences. Long term orientation, benchmarking, and planning are variables that speak to the firm’s strategic planning capacity. Finally, risk taking is the firm’s capacity for risky strategic moves. Each variable is measured by managers reporting on a 1-7 Likert scale.
