Pie chart for year 1:
Fig (1)
Pie chart for year 2:
Fig (2)
Analysis of pie charts:
- The distribution pattern shown in the chart in year 1 is not appropriate.
- External failure costs and internal failure costs are much higher than their required levels.
- In comparison with year 1, year 2 is moving towards a right balance; since failure costs are reducing and prevention costs are increasing.
2.
Present a performance report for year 2 by comparing budgeted and actual figures of year 2. Also, compute the profits that have been increased due to quality improvements.

Table (2)
Year 2 budgeted figures are computed by dividing the costs of year 1 by sales of year 1 $12,000,000 and multiplying by sales of year 2, $15,000,000.
Increase in profit due to quality improvements is $768,000.
3.
Compute increase in profits in case quality costs are reduced to 3% of sales revenue.
