5. The Claron Corporation’s main competitor, Brighton company, just filed for bankruptcy, presenting a potential opportunity for an increase in customers and revenue at Claron. As a result, several of Brighton’s salespeople have contacted George Wills, Claron’s vice president of sales, inquiring about employment at Claron. Currently Wills has no openings on his 10-person salesforce. However, he does not want to dismiss the Brighton reps, some of whom are top performers that might be able to enhance Brighton’s revenue stream that has been falling for the past year.

            After speaking to his CEO about adding a position to his salesforce, Wills was given permission to do so as long as the new salesperson made more of his salary in commissions than base salary. Wills, however would like to add three of Brighton’s salespeople. Currently there are four salespeople on Wills’s staff that outperform the other six, who are approximately equal in talent. Yet, Wills is hard-pressed to identify a clear laggard whom he would dismiss in favor of the competition’s salespeople. Wills is also concerned that he could disrupt the team chemistry he has worked hard to build the past two years by firing some of his current salespeople and hiring those from Brighton. However, he does not know if he can pass up this opportunity to upgrade his salesforce.

            How should Wills approach this dilemma? Should he hire the new reps and deal with the ramifications of letting two of his people go, or can he afford to pass on the new reps altogether?

National Aluminum Products Company is a state owned enterprise. Its main product is PVC pipes manufactured through extrusion process. The company is catering for the needs of the country for PVC articles, particularly in sanitary work. The company has just enhanced its capacity to 450 units per day. The average selling price of PVC pipes is computed to be OMR 25 per unit. Given below is the company’s last year revenue and cost information:

a) Compute the break-even point for last year.

b) Assume that if the company spends 23000 OMR on additional marketing, the company can sell the unit at 5% higher price. Keeping other cost pattern the same, what will be the new break-even point?

c) Assume that there are 260 working days in a year, what will be the after tax profit, if the company operates at its full capacity?

d) How many units the company must sell, if the management sets the next year target an after tax profit of OMR 480,000?

e) What will be the margin of safety, if the company is able to sell its full capacity?

The many identical residents of Whoville love drinking Zlurp. Each resident has the following willingness to pay for the tasty refreshment:

The cost of producing a bottle of Zlurp is $3.50, and the competitive suppliers sell it at this price. (The supply curve is horizontal.)

Each Whovillian will consume (HOW MANY) bottles and receive a consumer surplus of $?

Producing Zlurp creates pollution. Each bottle has an external cost of $1.

Taking this additional cost into account, total surplus per person in the allocation you previously determined decreases to.

Cindy Lou Who, one of the residents of Whoville, decides on her own to reduce her consumption of Zlurp by 1 bottle.

Cindy's consumer surplus (ignoring the cost of pollution she experiences) is now $?. Her decision INCREASES OR DECREASES total surplus in Whoville by $?

Mayor Grinch imposes a $1 tax on each bottle of Zlurp.

Consumption per person is now _   bottles. This yields a per-person consumer surplus of $? not including the cost of pollution, a per-person external cost of $?, and government revenue of $? per person. Total surplus per person is now $? as a result of this policy. (Hint: Total surplus is equal to consumer surplus minus the external cost of pollution plus government revenue.)

Based on your calculations, you WOULD OR WOULD NOT support the mayor's policy because it INCREASES OR DEACREASES welfare compared to before the tax.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 60 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

For example, administrative expenses should be $4,000 per month plus $45 per course plus $4 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 60 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 50 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
