Required: 1. Prepare a quality cost report for this year and last year. Note: Enter amount values in thousands. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places (i.e 0.1234 should be entered as 12.34).…In 20x4, Tru-Delite Frozen Desserts, Inc., instituted a quality improvement program. At the end of 20x5, the management of the corporation requested a report to show the amount saved by the measures taken during the year. The actual sales and quality costs for 20x4 and 20x5 are as follows: Tru-Delites management believes that quality costs can be reduced to 2.5 percent of sales within the next five years. At the end of 20x9, Tru-Delites sales are projected to grow to 750,000. The projected relative distribution of quality costs at the end of 20x9 is as follows: Required: 1. Profits increased by what amount due to quality improvements made in 20x5? 2. Prepare a long-range performance report that compares the quality costs incurred at the end of 20x5 with the quality cost structure expected at the end of 20x9. 3. Are the targeted costs in the year 20x9 all value-added costs? How would you interpret the variances if the targeted costs are value-added costs? 4. What would be the profit increase in 20x9 if the 2.5 percent performance standard is met in that year?A company is spending 70,000 per year for inspecting, 60,000 per year for purchasing, and 56,000 per year for reworking products.

- Muskogee Company had sales of 60,000,000 in 20x1. In 20x5, sales had increased to 75,000,000. A quality improvement program was implemented at the beginning of 20x1. Overall conformance quality was targeted for improvement. The quality costs for 20x1 and 20x5 follow. Assume any changes in quality costs are attributable to improvements in quality. Required: 1. Compute the quality cost-to-sales ratio for each year. Is this type of improvement possible? 2. Calculate the relative distribution of costs by category for 20x1. What do you think of the way costs are distributed? (A pie chart or bar graph may be of some help.) How do you think they will be distributed as the company approaches a zero-defects state? 3. Calculate the relative distribution of costs by category for 20x5. What do you think of the level and distribution of quality costs? (A pie chart or bar graph may be of some help.) Do you think further reductions are possible? 4. The quality manager for Muskogee indicated that the external failure costs reported are only the measured costs. He argued that the 20x5 external costs were much higher than those reported and that additional investment ought to be made in control costs. Discuss the validity of his viewpoint. 5. Suppose that the manager of Muskogee received a bonus equal to 10 percent of the quality cost savings each year. Do you think that gainsharing is a good or a bad idea? Discuss the risks of gainsharing.Gagnon Company reported the following sales and quality costs for the past four years. Assume that all quality costs are variable and that all changes in the quality cost ratios are due to a quality improvement program. Required: 1. Compute the quality costs for all four years. By how much did net income increase from Year 1 to Year 2 because of quality improvements? From Year 2 to Year 3? From Year 3 to Year 4? 2. The management of Gagnon Company believes it is possible to reduce quality costs to 2.5 percent of sales. Assuming sales will continue at the Year 4 level, calculate the additional profit potential facing Gagnon. Is the expectation of improving quality and reducing costs to 2.5 percent of sales realistic? Explain. 3. Assume that Gagnon produces one type of product, which is sold on a bid basis. In Years 1 and 2, the average bid was 400. In Year 1, total variable costs were 250 per unit. In Year 3, competition forced the bid to drop to 380. Compute the total contribution margin in Year 3 assuming the same quality costs as in Year 1. Now, compute the total contribution margin in Year 3 using the actual quality costs for Year 3. What is the increase in profitability resulting from the quality improvements made from Year 1 to Year 3?Evans Company had total sales of 3,000,000 for fiscal 20x5. The costs of quality-related activities are given below. Required: 1. Prepare a quality cost report, classifying costs by category and expressing each category as a percentage of sales. What message does the cost report provide? 2. Prepare a bar graph and pie chart that illustrate each categorys contribution to total quality costs. Comment on the significance of the distribution. 3. What if, five years from now, quality costs are 7.5 percent of sales, with control costs being 65 percent of the total quality costs? What would your conclusion be?

Prepare a long-range performance report for 20x5. What does this report tell the management of Nabors? 2. Explain why quality costs still are present for the zero-defect state. 3.
