ESSAY.  Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper.

97) Jayhawk Basketballs manufactures and distributes rebounding equipment. The company is having a problem coordinating its marketing and production efforts. Every time marketing has a special promotion in a certain part of the country, production either cannot deliver the products or distribution has them in the wrong part of the country. In addition, the company has had several production stoppages due to insufficient raw material stock at the manufacturing plant.

 

Required:

 

In terms of the information system, what appears to be the main problems? What action can be taken to improve the situation?

 

98) Generally, companies follow one of two broad strategies:  offering a quality product at a low price, or

offering a unique product or service priced higher than the competition.  Assume you are opening a small

food outlet across the street from your campus.  How might that business be operated under each of the

two broad strategies?  Consider the following specific operational areas:

 

a.target customers

b.products offered

c.product pricing

d.location choice

e.advertising content

f.advertising media

 

 

 

99) Cyclone Car Company tries to assign appropriate responsibilities to all of its managers. Production managers receive reports which accumulate information of the shop operations for each plant. Plant operations are further aggregated in the report received by the vice president of manufacturing. These reports show the budgeted and actual operating results for the current month and year-to-date. These, along with inventory status reports, provide the major source of production information for the next planning period. Managers evaluate the variances and determine whether operations are in or out of control. If variances are large, appropriate action is taken, i.e., the plans are changed.

 

The company’s profits have been decreasing, and management has requested similar aggregate sales data from marketing. It is felt that this added information will suffice for its decision-making needs.

 

Required:

 

Do you agree? Why? Do you foresee any needs that will not be met by this information? If so, what additional information do you suggest that management be provided by the management accounting system?

 

100) Generally, companies follow one of two broad strategies: offering a quality product at a low price, or

offering a unique product or service priced higher than the competition.  Is it possible to follow a strategy

that is “in the middle”?

 

 

101) A company may employ CMA’s and other persons who are required to meet certain standards of professional conduct due to their membership in relevant professional organizations. These standards of conduct often include the areas of responsibility, competence, fairness and independence. However, holding only a few people responsible for sound professional conduct does not make a company behave ethically.

 

Required:

 

What can a company do to increase the likelihood of its employees being ethical in all their undertakings?
