Zodiac Sound Company manufactures audio systems, both made-to-order and mass-produced systems that are typically sold to large-
scale manufacturers of electronics equipment. For competitive reasons, the company is trying to increase its manufacturing cycle
efficiency (MCE) measure. As a strategy for improving its MCE performance, the company is considering a switch to JIT manufacturing.
While the company managers have a fairly good feel for the costs of implementing JIT, they are unsure about the benefits of such a
move, both in financial and nonfinancial terms. To help inform the ultimate decision regarding a move to a JIT system, you've been
asked to provide some input. Fortunately, you've recently attended a continuing professional education (CPE) workshop on the costs
and benefits of moving to JIT and therefore feel comfortable responding to management's request.
Required:

- Case scenario: You are a newly hired accountant for Sushi Beeber, Inc., a retail company specializing in apparel for small pets. The company would like to expand its apparel line to include sweaters for cats. Sushi Beeber has found several manufacturers that offer competitive prices to ensure cost of goods sold is low. Because the company receives merchandise from different manufacturers and the cat sweaters will be commoditized, the company needs to develop an internal accounting system to keep track of inventory cost. You think that the weighted average cost method may help the company stay up-to-date with the inventory cost as purchase cost changes over time. Your task is to create a spreadsheet that can calculate the inventory cost based on purchases and sales for the month.

- Retailers need merchandise to make sales. In fact, a retailer’s inventory is its biggest asset. Not stocking enough merchandise can result in lost sales, but carrying too much inventory increases costs and lowers margins. Both circumstances reduce profits. One measure of a reseller’s inventory management effectiveness is its stockturn rate (also called inventory turnover rate for manufacturers). The key to success in retailing is realizing a large volume of sales on as little inventory as possible while maintaining enough stock to meet customer demands. Refer to Appendix 2: Marketing by the Numbers, and determine the stockturn rate of a retailer carrying an average inventory at cost of $350,000, with a cost of goods sold of $800,000. If this company’s stockturn rate was 3.5 last year, is the stockturn rate calculated above better or worse? Explain.arrow_forwardRetailers need merchandise to make sales.
