During their senior year at Clarkson College, two business students, Gerry Keating and Louise Lamont, began a part-time business
making personal computers. They bought the various components from a local supplier and assembled the machines in the basement
of a friend's house. Their only cost was $364 for parts; they sold each computer for $633. They were able to make three machines per
week and to sell them to fellow students. The activity was appropriately called Keating & Lamont Computers (KLC). The product quality
was good, and as graduation approached, orders were coming in much faster than KLC could fill them.
A national CPA firm made Ms. Lamont an attractive offer of employment, and a large electronics company was ready to hire Mr.
Keating. Students and faculty at Clarkson College, however, encouraged the two to make KLC a full-time venture. The college
administration had decided to require all students in the schools of business and engineering to buy their own computers…

For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $28 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time.

Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 45% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand. The bakery currently makes 1,500 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles also has a constant utility cost per month of $750 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.40 Current multifactor productivity for 640 work hours per month = ___ loaves/dollararrow_forward
- Whitcomb Foods is a small company in Oregon that packages and sells organic juices. Recently, a sales rep from one of the company's suppliers suggested that Whitcomb could increase its profitability by 50 percent if it introduced a second line of products, packaged dried fruit for snacks. The rep offered to do the analysis and show the company the assumptions made. When Whitcomb's management opened the spreadsheet sent by the sales rep, they noticed that there were several blank cells. In the meantime, the sales rep had taken a job with a competitor and told the managers at Whitcomb that "I can no longer advise you." Although they were not sure they should rely on the analysis, they asked you to see if you could reconstruct the sales rep's analysis. They had been considering this new business already and wanted to see if their analysis was close to that of an outside observer. Required: Complete the below table by filling in the blank cells.

Shortly after its founding, the owner decided to concentrate on one specialty line of printing. Because of a high degree of technical proficiency, the company experienced a rapid growth. However, the company suffered from a competitive disadvantage in that the major market for this specialized output was in a metropolitan area over 300 miles away from the company’s plant. For this reason, the owner, in 2012, decided to move nearer his primary market. He also decided to expand and modernize his facilities at the time of the move. After some investigation, an attractive site was found in a suburb of his primary market, and the move was made. 4.The company purchased land for $200,000 in cash.
