- Homework Question 3arrow_forwardRefer to Exercise 8.29. Suppose Gene determines that next years Sales Division activities include the following: Researchresearching current and future conditions in the industry Shippingarranging for shipping of mattresses and handling calls from purchasing agents at retail stores to trace shipments and correct errors Jobberscoordinating the efforts of the independent jobbers who sell the mattresses Basic adsplacing print and television ads for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines Ultima adschoosing and working with the advertising agency on the Ultima account Office managementoperating the Sales Division office The percentage of time spent by each employee of the Sales Division on each of the above activities is given in the following table: Additional information is as follows: a. Depreciation on the office equipment belongs to the office management activity. b. Of the 21,000 for office supplies and other expenses, 5,000 can be assigned to telephone costs which can be split evenly between the shipping and jobbers activities. An additional 2,400 per year is attributable to Internet connections and fees, and the bulk of these costs (80 percent) are assignable to research. The remainder is a cost of office management. All other office supplies and costs are assigned to the office management activity. Required: 1. Prepare an activity-based budget for next year by activity. Use the expected level of sales activity. 2. On the basis of the budget prepared in Requirement 1, advise Gene regarding actions that might be taken to reduce expenses. Olympus, Inc., manufactures three models of mattresses: the Sleepeze, the Plushette, and the Ultima. Forecast sales for next year are 15,000 for the Sleepeze, 12,000 for the Plushette, and 5,000 for the Ultima. Gene Dixon, vice president of sales, has provided the following information: a. Salaries for his office (including himself at 65,000, a marketing research assistant at 40,000, and an administrative assistant at 25,000) are budgeted for 130,000 next year. b. Depreciation on the offices and equipment is 20,000 per year. c. Office supplies and other expenses total 21,000 per year. d. Advertising has been steady at 20,000 per year. However, the Ultima is a new product and will require extensive advertising to educate consumers on the unique features of this high-end mattress. Gene believes the company should spend 15 percent of first-year Ultima sales for a print and television campaign. e. Commissions on the Sleepeze and Plushette lines are 5 percent of sales. These commissions are paid to independent jobbers who sell the mattresses to retail stores. f. Last year, shipping for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines averaged 50 per unit sold. Gene expects the Ultima line to ship for 75 per unit sold since this model features a larger mattress. Required: 1. Suppose that Gene is considering three sales scenarios as follows: Prepare a revenue budget for the Sales Division for the coming year for each scenario. 2. Prepare a flexible expense budget for the Sales Division for the three scenarios above.arrow_forwarddf4 Case 22.1, Allocating Fixed Costs to Responsibility CentersYou have just been hired as the controller of Land's End Hotel. The hotel prepares monthly responsibility income statements in which all fixed costs are allocated among the various profit centers in the hotel, based on the relative amounts of revenue generated by each profit center. Robert Chamberlain, manager of the hotel dining room, argues that this approach understates the profitability of his department. "Through developing a reputation as a fine restaurant, the dining room has significantly increased its revenue. Yet the more revenue we earn, the larger the percentage of the hotel's operating costs that are charged against our department. Also, whenever vacancies go up, rental revenue goes down, and the dining room is charged with a still greater percentage of overall operating costs. Our strong performance is concealed by poor performance in departments responsible for keeping occupancy rates up." Chamberlain…arrow_forward

Each food truck has a different food theme, such as Irish-Mexican fusion, traditional Mexican street food, Ethiopian cuisine, and Lebanese-Italian fusion. The company was founded three years ago by Juanita O'Brien when she opened a single food truck with a unique menu. As her business has grown, she has become concerned about her ability to manage and control the business. OBrien describes how the company was built, its key success factors, and its recent growth. I built the company from the ground up. In the beginning it was just me. I drove the truck, set the menu, bought the ingredients. prepared the meals, served the meals, cleaned the kitchen, and maintained the equipment. I made unique meals from quality ingredients, and didn't serve anything that wasn't perfect. I changed my location daily and notified customers of my location via Twitter. As my customer base grew. I hired employees to help me in the truck Then one day I realized that I had a formula that could be expanded to multiple trucks. Before I knew it I had 10 trucks and was hiring people to do everything that I used to do by myself. Now, I work with my team to build the menu, set daily locations for the trucks, and manage the operations of the business My business model is based on providing the highest quality street food and charging more for it than other trucks. You won't get the cheapest meal at one of my trucks, but you will get the best The superior quality allows me to price my meals a little bit higher than the other trucks My employees are critical to my success. I pay them a better wage than they could make on other food trucks, and I expect more from them. I rely on them to maintain the quality that I established when I opened my first truck. Things are going great, but I'm feeling overwhelmed So far, the growth sales has led to a growth in profitabilitybut Im getting nervous. If quality starts to fall off, my brand value erodes, and that could affect the prices that I charge for my meals and the success of my business. Create balanced scorecard measures for Hit-n-Run Inc. Identify whether these measures best fit the innovation, customer, internal process, or financial dimension of the balanced scorecard.arrow_forward
