Chapter 12, Problem 12.20E
Analysis of growth, price-recovery, and productivity components (continuation of 12-19). An analysis of Pineway’s operating-income changes between 2016 and 2017 shows the following:
| Operating income for 2016 | $1, 500,000 |
| Add growth component | 91,000 |
| Deduct price-recovery component | (82,000) |
| Add productivity component | 145,000 |
| Operating income for 2017 | $1, 654,000 |
The industry market size for electric motors did not grow in 2017, input prices did not change, and Pineway reduced the prices of its motors.
- 1. Was Pineway’s gain in operating income in 2017 consistent with the strategy you identified in requirement 1 of Exercise 12-19?
Required
- 2. Explain the productivity component. In general, does it represent savings in only variable costs, only fixed costs, or both variable and fixed costs?
12-19 Balanced scorecard. Pineway Electric manufactures electric motors. It competes and plans to grow by selling high-quality motors at a low price and by delivering them to customers in a reasonable time after receiving customers’ orders. There are many other manufacturers who produce similar motors. Pineway believes that continuously improving its manufacturing processes and having satisfied employees are critical to implementing its strategy in 2017.
- 1. Is Pineway’s 2017 strategy one of product differentiation or cost leadership? Explain briefly.
Required
- 2. Ramsey Corporation, a competitor of Pineway, manufactures electric motors with more sizes and features than Pineway at a higher price. Ramsey’s motors are of high quality but require more time to produce and so have longer delivery times. Draw a simple customer preference map as in Figure 12-1 for Pineway and Ramsey using the attributes of price, delivery time, quality, and design features.
- 3. Draw a strategy map as in Figure 12-2 with at least two strategic objectives you would expect to see under each balanced scorecard perspective. Identify what you believe are any (a) strong ties, (b) focal points, (c) trigger points, and (d) distinctive objectives. Comment on the structural analysis of your strategy map.
- 4. For each strategic objective indicate a measure you would expect to see in Pineway’s balanced scorecard for 2017.

Analysis of growth, price-recovery, and productivity components (continuation of 12-34). Suppose that during 2017, the market for DVD players grew 10%. All increases in market share (that is, sales increases greater than 10%) and decreases in the selling price of the Orlicon are the result of Scott’s strategic actions.
The average price of a gallon of gas in 2015 dropped $0.94 (28 percent) from $3.34 in 2014 (to $2.40 in 2015). Let’s see whether these changes are reflected in the income statement of Insignia Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2015 (amounts in billions).
Compute the gross profit percentage for each year. Assuming that the change from 2014 to 2015 is the beginning of a sustained trend, is Insignia likely to earn more or less gross profit from each dollar of sales in 2016?
Compute the net profit margin for each year. Given your calculations here and in requirement 1, explain whether Insignia did a better or worse job of controlling expenses other than the costs of crude oil and products in 2015 relative to 2014.
Footware manufacturing is projected to decrease output by 8.4% from 2006 to 2016. If footware manufacturing had 1.8 billion dollars of output in 2006, approximately how much output is expected in 2016?

As a result of the actions taken, quality has significantly improved in 2017 while rework and unit costs of the Orlicon have decreased.
