Toyota vehicle recalls At the end of 2009, Toyota Motor Corporation faced three separate related recalls of automobiles. The first recall, on November 2, 2009, was to correct a possible incursion of an incorrect or out-of-place front driver's side floor mat into the foot pedal well. which can cause pedal entrapment. The second recall, on January 21, 2010, begun after some crashes were shown not to have heen caused by floor mat incursion. This latter defect was identified as a possible mechanical sticking of the accelerator pedal causing unintended acceleration, referred to as Sticking Accelerator Pedal by Toyota. As uf January 28, 2010, Toyota had announced recalls of approximately 5.2 million vehieles for the pedal entrapment/ floor mat problem, and an additional 23 million vehicles for the accelerator pedal problem. Approximately 1.7 million vehicles were subject to both. Thus, investigations on such issues started immediately. On February 8, 2011, findings into the investigation were released After a 10-month search, scientists found no clectronic defect in Toyota vehicles. Driver error or pedal misapplication was found responsible for most of the incidents. The report ended stating. "Our conclusion is Tayota's problems were mechanical, not electrical." This included sticking accelerator pedals. and pedals cought under floor mats. In fact, in 2005. Toyota launched the "Customer First" program, to bring the voice of customers in an attempt to improve the quality of its vehicles. But it was quietly discontinued in early 20X19. A Toyota manager justified its elimination by announcing "We had come to believe that quality was maintained mainly in processes and not in products, and no quality at source was applied," Moreover, when implemented coerectly, any impeovement in quality processes can reduce waste and thus lead to reduced cost and improved profitubility. Therefore, Toystu wanted to know that if paying more in increasing the quality of their vehicles, would pay them the benefits they are aiming for, or it would be just another lost investment. but On October 24, 2013, a jury ruled against Toyotu and found that unintended acceleration could have been caused due to deficiencies in the drive-by-wire throttle system or Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS). 1) What two functional perspective on quality did Toyotan upply? Justify. 2) According to Juran's trilogy quality theory, in which step of the three was the problem? Justify. 3) Which sphere of the three spheres of quality was Toyota facing problem in?

Credit Card Amortization Schedule (MUST BE IN EXCEL)

Starter File Name: None

Difficulty: Level 3

Credit cards can offer people considerable flexibility when it comes to purchasing power. However, this flexibility usually comes at a cost through a high APR on any unpaid balances. If only the minimum payment is made on a credit card balance, this debt could be carried for many years and cost thousands of dollars in interest expense. The purpose of this exercise is to design an amortization schedule for a credit card where only the minimum payment is made. Assume the bank charges an APR of 16% and that the current balance on the credit card is $5,000. The minimum payment is established on a fourteen year repayment period and payments are made at the end of each month. The design of your amortization table must include the following:

1. Design is limited to one worksheet.

2. Assume credit card statements are issued on the first day of each month. Show the statement date for each payment and the statement month on the amortization schedule. The date for the first statement is 9/1/2020.

3. For each payment, show the total payment, how much of the payment is interest expense, and how much is used to reduce the balance of the credit card. The schedule should also show the credit card balance at the beginning of every month.

4. Once the amortization table is complete, use the data to create a PivotTable on a second worksheet. The PivotTable should show how much total interest is paid each year and the total interest paid on the $5,000 balance after fourteen years. Also show the total amount of principal paid each year. The row heading should be the year sorted in chronological order beginning with 2020. Finally, show the number of payments made each year. Since the first statement is 9/1/2020, the year 2020 will have four payments.

5. Use column and/or row headings, add titles to your worksheets, and rename the worksheet tabs with appropriate labels. Also, use appropriate number formats on both the amortization worksheet and the PivotTable.
