- Folio Glass produces custom glass platters. For one job, the trainee assigned to cut the glass set the template incorrectly into the computer. This template was unusable and had to be discarded; another template was cut to the correct dimensions. How is the cost of the spoiled template handled?arrow_forwardRichins Company is considering the acquisition of a computerized manufacturing system. The new system has a built in quality function that increases the control over product specifications. An alarm sounds whenever the product falls outside the programmed specifications. An operator can then make some adjustments on the spot to restore the desired product quality. The system is expected to decrease the number of units scrapped because of poor quality. The system is also expected to decrease the amount of labor inputs needed. The production manager is pushing for the aquisition because he believes that productivity will be greatly enhanced - particularly when it comes to labor and material inputs. Output and input data follow.

- * no trial balance was given along with case study just tables typed out below or featured in the images*  Trying this again... We were asked to calculate the missing values (which I have written down on my copy of the table in the image attached). After attending the lecture with hopes to get a better understanding of how the numbers we obtained, I ended up coming home and copying the answers down as my professor did not review as to how he calculated them. I copied all the numbers down onto excel with hopes to see if I can understand where the numbers came from but to no avail. There are no requirements asked for other than to simply calculate and input the missing values which I have noted down from the answer sheet. I am hoping to get an understanding as to how the numbers were computed for the income statement for now. Table 1: given values  1997 1998 1999 net sales 26820 28966 30703 cogs 21216 23550 26140 gross profit 5604 5416 4563 admin and selling expenses…arrow_forwardLast night, the sprinkler system at Plant A was accidentally set off.

Clerks notice the defects (such as irregularities in the weave or color of fabric) when they cut yardage from bolts of fabric. These defects usually affect only a small portion of the fabric on a bolt. Therefore, when a clerk discovers a defect, the “bad spot” is cut from the bolt. The clerk fills out a defect slip, which includes the amount of defective fabric (in yards), the retail price per yard, and the inventory control number. The defect slip is attached to the fabric and put in a “defects” bin in the storeroom. Once a month, the assistant manager sends the defect slips to the accounting department and packages the bad fabric for sale as scrap material. The accounting department uses the defect slips to write off the defective inventory in the accounting records. What information could the manager request from the management accounting department that…arrow_forward
- Kruger Designs hired a consulting firm three months ago to redesign the information system that the architects use. The architects will be able to use state of- the-art computer-aided design (CAD) programs to help in designing the products. Further, they will be able to store these designs on a network server from which they and other architects may be able to call them back for future designs with similar components. The consulting firm has been instructed to develop the system without disrupting the architects. In fact, top management believes that the best route is to develop the system and then to introduce it to the architects during a training session. Management does not want the architects to spend precious billable hours guessing about the new system or putting work off until the new system is working.
