Part 1 The following are performance measures. Classify each performance measure into the most relevant balanced scorecard perspective.   Performance Measure Balanced Scorecard Perspective Percentage of defective products   Return on assets   Number of patents   Employee turnover rate   Customer profitability   Percentage of processes with real-time feedback   Percentage of on-time deliveries by suppliers   Profit per salesperson   Percentage of error-free invoices   Customer cost per unit     Part 2 Each of the following are independent scenarios.  Indicate the type of responsibility centre involved in each scenario.   Terrin Belson, plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc. brushed his hair back and sighed. December had been a bad month: two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers (all on salary) were idle for part of the month. Materials prices increased, and insurance premiums on the factory increased. There was no way out of it; costs were going up. He hoped that the marketing vice-president would be able to push through some price increases, but that wasn’t his department.   Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. She was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently (enabling her factories to sell several older machines) was the reason why. Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semi-annual performance review.   Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit/loss statement with disgust. Revenue was down, and costs were up – what a combination! Then she had an idea: If she cut back on maintenance and equipment and let a product engineer go, expenses would decrease – perhaps enough to reverse the trend in income.   Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the southern divisions of ABC Inc. She met with top staff and hammered out a three-year plan to improve the situation. A centrepiece of the plan is the retirement of obsolete equipment and the purchase of state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery. The new machinery would take time for the workers to learn to use, but once that was done, waste would be virtually eliminated.     Part 3   Superior Corporation produces three products which all use the same material. Due to a labour strike, it has become challenging to obtain the material needed for manufacturing the products. The following data is available for the three products:   Product A B C Selling Price $250 $100 $450 Variable Costs           Direct Materials $100 $30 $300     Labour and other costs $85 $31 $102 Quantity of Materials (metres) 2.5 3.0 2.2   The demand for the products far exceeds the amount of material that can currently be purchased.   The current cost of the material is $10 per metre, and a maximum of 3,000 metres is available each month.   Superior Corporation must produce a minimum of 300 units of each product.   Required How many units of product A, B, and C should Superior Corporation produce? Provide full support for your calculation.   What is the maximum amount Superior Corporation would be willing to pay for another metre of material?

B-Bats Corporation produces baseball bats for kids that it sells for $35 each. At capacity, the company can produce 45,500 bats a year. The costs of producing and selling 45,500 bats are as follows:     Cost per Bat Total Costs Direct materials $10 $455,000 Direct manufacturing labour 4 182,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 1 45,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 227,500 Variable selling expenses 1 45,500 Fixed selling expenses 5 227,500 Total costs $26 $1,183,000   Baseball Fields Corporation wants to place a one-time special order for 9,500 bats at $22 each. B-Bats will incur no variable selling costs for this special order.   Required   Suppose B-Bats is currently producing and selling 45,500 bats. On the financial considerations alone, should B-Bats accept this one-time special order? Show your calculations.   On financial considerations alone, at what price would B-Bats be indifferent between accepting the special order and continuing to sell to its regular customers at $35 per bat?   Explain what other factors should B-Bats consider in deciding whether to accept the one-time special order?

Which of the following is a Pillar of Islam?

Superior Corporation has developed a new advanced computer system. Superior has invested $20,000,000 in developing the advanced computer system and expects to sell 10,000 advanced computer systems. The computer has a larger hard drive which can store 4 times the amount of data as a traditional computer.  Superior Corporation’s closest competitor sells its computers for $2,000. The computer is more environmentally friendly costing $800 less electricity, $50 less in disposal costs, and the customers will have lower software fees by $100. A traditional computer normally requires $400 in maintenance fees, but Superior Corporation’s computer is expected to only require $350 in maintenance fees. Superior Corporation is determining whether to use value-based pricing or targeting costing. If Superior Corporation uses target costing, then Superior Corporation plans to price the advanced computer system at 50% higher than a traditional computer. Superior Corporation’s required return on investment is 18% and the company’s contribution margin ratio is 40%. Required: Determine what the reference value is. Calculate the differentiation value. Calculate the economic value to customer. Determine the range for value-based price. Calculate the target cost per unit. Explain whether Superior Corporation should use targeting costing with support for your position.
