Aldo Industries, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows.

Human Resources 6,000
Building Maintenance 13,000
Machining 1 8,000
Assembly 26,000

Assuming use of the step-down method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?

Answer:

50,000 Square feet

Explanation:

Building maintenance provides more service than human resource and this means the cost of Building maintenance departments would be allocated to all remaining three department including human resource department.

Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Human Resources + Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly

= 6,000 + 18,000 + 26,000

= 50,000

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Lorenzo and Neha are playing a game in which both must simultaneously choose the action Left or Right. The payoff matrix that follows shows the payoff each person will earn as a function of both of their choices. For example, the lower-right cell shows that if Lorenzo chooses Right and Neha chooses Right, Lorenzo will receive a payoff of 6 and Neha will receive a payoff of 5
Neha
Left Right
Lorenzo Left 8,4 4,5
Right 5,4 6,5
1. The only dominant strategy in this game is for (Neha/Lorenzo) to choose (Right/Left)
2. The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Lorenzo chooses (Right/Left) and Neha chooses (Right/Left) .

Subject: Interns
Staff:

As you may be aware, we have for the past year been considering changing our approach to interns. Your management council recently made a decision to offer compensation to the interns in our internship program because we learned that in two fields (computer science and information systems) interns are usually paid, which is the norm. However, we will be unable to offer any more than three internships.

In collaboration with our nearby college, we have narrowed the field to six excellent candidates. These six candidates will be interviewed. This is to inform you that you are required to attend three interviewing sessions for these student candidates. Your presence is needed at these sessions to help us avoid making poor selections.

You should mark your calendars for the following three times. We are scheduling the first set of interviews for April 5 to meet in the conference room. Please examine all the candidates’ résumés, which are attached, and send me your ranking lists.

The second interviewing session is scheduled for April 8 in Office 22 (the conference room was already scheduled). On April 11 we can finish up in the conference room. All of the meetings will start at 2 p.m. In view of the fact that your projects need fresh ideas and talented new team members, I should not have to urge you to attend and be well prepared.

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.

Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?

A bank loan officer has been approached by a start-up company that needs a five-year loan to purchase the equipment for its first project. The project will have a life of five years. At the end of five years, the equipment will be worthless. The founders of the company told the loan officer that they would be willing to pay a much higher interest rate on a simple interest loan rather than contracting to an add-on interest loan.
A. The loan officer should offer the company an add-on interest loan because there is a high risk that the company will not be able to repay the principal on the loan at the end of the project's life.
B. The loan officer should offer the company a simple interest loan. The bank will make more money in the long run, because it can charge a much higher interest rate.

Roland, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and it uses a job costing system for determining the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by Roland for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home. Roland paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as well as all refinishes and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, Roland generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three builders. Roland has observed that the builders, however, require substantially different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been gathered:Major refinishes Hours on job $70
Touchups Number of visits $180
Communication Number of calls $20
Builder Major Refinishes Touchups Communication
Alpha 80 150 360
Beta 35 110 205
Gamma 42 115 190
