You have just been employed as a database designer in a well-established software development firm. Your first job is to design and implement a database system for an airline booking company. The following information has been gathered after analysing the current practices of the company.

• The system records information about flight bookings by customers.

Customers are identified by an email address and have a phone number and a name.

Customers make bookings for specific instances of a flight. The booking has a reference number for easy lookup and records the credit card number and the seat number on the flight. Each customer makes their own booking.

• Each flight has a unique flight code, which identifies the scheduled departure time, departure gate and departure airport of the flight, as well as the scheduled arrival time, arrival gate and arrival airport of the flight.

• Each airport has a unique airport code, and has a city.

• Flights repeat each day, e.g. a flight with the code QF430 is scheduled to depart Melbourne Airport at 9:30am each day from gate 3 and arrive at 10:55am at Sydney Airport at gate 2. Your design should not repeat common information for each daily flight.

• The status of a specific flight (e.g. boarding) will depend on the scheduled date of the specific flight instance.

• The pilot will also vary from flight to flight, but each specific flight has exactly 2 pilots. Pilots have an employee id and a name.

• Similarly, the aircraft used can vary from flight to flight, but each specific flight is on board a specific aircraft.

• Aircrafts have a tail number to identify them and have a specific model.

The Award Plus Company manufactures medals for winners of athletic events and other contests. Its manufacturing plant has the capacity to produce 10,000 medals each month.

Current production and sales are 7,500 medals per month. The company normally charges $150 per medal.

Cost information for the current activity level is as follows:

Variable costs that vary with number of units produced

Direct materials $262,500
Direct manufacturing labour 300,000
Variable costs (for setups, materials handling,qualitycontrol, and so on) that vary with number of batches, 150 batches * $500 per batc 75,000
Fixed manufacturing costs 275,000
Fixed marketing costs 175,000
Total costs $1,087,500

Award Plus has just received a special one-time-only order for 2,500 medals at $100 per medel.

Accepting the special order would not affect the company's regular business.

Award Plus makes medals for its existing customers in batch sizes of 50 medals (150 batches 50 medals per batch = 7,500 medals). The special order requires Award Plus to make the medals in 25 batches of 100 each.

1. Should Award Plus accept tis special order? Show your calculations.

2. Suppose plant capacity were only 9,000 medals instead of 10,000 medals each month. The special order must either be taken in full or be rejected completely.

Should Award Plus accept the special order? Show your Calculations.

3. As in requirement 1, assume that monthly capacity is 10,000 medals. Award Plus is concerned that if it accepts the special order, its existing customers will immediately demand a price discount of $10 in the month in which the special order is being filled

They would argue that Award Plus's capacity costs are now being spread over more units and that existing customers should get the benefit of these lower costs.

Should Award Plus accept the special order under these conditions? Show your calculations.

Ethics and the Manager

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.

Required:

1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?

2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

Net Present Value Method—Annuity

E & T Excavation Company is planning an investment of $222,900 for a bulldozer. The bulldozer is expected to operate for 1,000 hours per year for five years. Customers will be charged $130 per hour for bulldozer work. The bulldozer operator costs $26 per hour in wages and benefits. The bulldozer is expected to require annual maintenance costing $10,000. The bulldozer uses fuel that is expected to cost $34 per hour of bulldozer operation.
