Read the Chandler Corpora ! on [PDF] case study and complete the following requirements. Quan " ta " ve Analysis: Chandler Corpora ! on is currently producing several products, including both custom and standard designs. It has received requests for two new products: swimming pool shades and landscape trellises. It is considering whether to produce either or both of these products. Based on the projec ! ons in Exhibits 1 to 3 describing the current capacity and required capacity needs for the new products, complete the following requirements: a. Using ABC, compute the Predetermined Overhead Rate for each ac ! vity. b. Compute the cost of unused capacity for each ac ! vity and in total. c. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate. d. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of trelli, assuming that Chandler bases its rates on the predetermined overhead rate. e. Compute the TOTAL and UNIT cost of making the full demand of pool shades assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of pool shades). f. Compute the total and unit cost of making the full demand of trellises assuming that Chandler bases its rates on EXPECTED capacity (used capacity plus required capacity for the full demand of trellises). Qualita " ve Analysis: In a 2-3 page report, based on your quan ! ta ! ve analysis, discuss the results of what your quan ! ta ! ve analysis means for Chandler. When considering a decision to make the new products, would costs computed using prac ! cal capacity (c and d) or expected capacity (e and f) as the denominator provide be " er informa ! on to Chandler’s management? Explain your answer. Support your recommenda ! on with a minimum of 3 academic resources. Deliverables Quan ! ta ! ve Analysis (Excel Required): You are required to use the provided Excel workbook to complete the quan ! ta ! ve analysis for this assignment. Qualita ! ve Analysis (Word Required): Prepare a 2-3 page summary addressing the required qualita ! ve analysis, as noted in the Student Workbook. Your paper is required to be forma " ed according to APA requirements. Be sure to incorporate key concepts from this unit's readings and properly cite your references according to APA requirements. Do NOT embed the results of your quan ! ta ! ve analysis in your Word document. You should only reference parts of your quan ! ta ! ve analysis in your wri " en analysis. Your wri " en responses to the qualita ! ve prompts should not be presented in a ques ! on and answer format.
