Case No. 6 (Total Quality Management) TQM at a State University As a result of several years of severe cuts to its operating budget by the national government, the administration of the a State University in the Bicol region has raised tuition annually for the past five years. Five years ago, getting an education at the university was a bargain for both students in the province as well as its neighboring provinces. Now, it is one of the more expensive state universities. An immediate repercussion has been a decline in application for admission. Since a portion of the Commission on Higher Education's budget is allotted to students' tuition fees and in which the state university is bestowed with, the State University has kept its enrollments up at a constant level by going deeper into its pool of applications, taking some less-qualified students.

Question: The city of San Fernando operates on a calendar year basis. John Perez, the governor, is particularly proud of his reputation for making sure the state lives within its means. He knows that revenues in 2018 are coming in at a slower pace than anticipated, and he fears that expenditures may exceed revenues for the first time in his tenure as governor. He seeks advice from his budget director, who says: “No problem. I’ll just tell the agencies not to send invoices for utilities, travel expenses, and professional services to the comptroller during November and December for payment. Because the state uses the modified accrual basis of accounting, the comptroller won’t charge the bills to 2018.” The elected state comptroller is responsible not only for paying the bills but also for preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP. What should the comptroller do when he learns about the budget director’s idea?

Coach Bjourn Toulouse led the Big Red Herrings to several disappointing football seasons. Only better recruiting will return the Big Red Herrings to winning form. Because of the current state of the program, Boehring University fans are unlikely to support increases in the $192 season ticket price. Improved recruitment will increase overhead costs to $33,000 per class section from the current $28,000 per class section. The university's budget plan is to cover recruitment costs by increasing the average class size to 75 students. Labor costs will increase to $7,000per 3-credit course. Material costs will be about $25 per student for each 3-credit course. Tuition will be $225per semester credit, which is supplemented by state support of $80 per semester credit. The multifactor productivity ratio with the university's plan to meet the expenses related to improving recruitment is?

None of the general administrative overhead would be avoided if the housekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator would be avoided.…
