BYP7-1 Current Designs faces a number of important decisions that require incremental analysis. Consider each of the following situations independently.

Situation 1

Recently, Mike Cichanowski, owner and CEO of Current Designs, received a phone call from the president of a brewing company. He was calling to inquire about the possibility of Current Designs producing “floating coolers” for a promotion his company was planning. These coolers resemble a kayak but are about one-third the size. They are used to float food and beverages while paddling down the river on a weekend leisure trip. The company would be interested in purchasing 100 coolers for the upcoming summer. It is willing to pay $250 per cooler. The brewing company would pick up the coolers upon completion of the  order.

Mike met with Diane Buswell, controller, to identify how much it would cost Current Designs to produce the coolers. After careful analysis, the following costs were identified.

 

Direct materials

$80/unit

Variable overhead

$20/unit

Direct labor

$60/unit

Fixed overhead

$1,000

Current Designs would be able to modify an existing mold to produce the coolers. The cost of these modifications would be approximately $2,000.

Instructions

(a)  Prepare an incremental analysis to determine whether Current Designs should accept this special order to produce the coolers.

(b)  Discuss additional factors that Mike and Diane should consider if Current Designs is currently operating at full capacity.

Situation 2

Current Designs is always working to identify ways to increase efficiency while becoming more environmentally conscious. During a recent brainstorming session, one employee suggested to Diane Buswell, controller, that the company should consider replacing the current rotomold oven as a way to realize savings from reduced energy consumption. The oven operates on natural gas, using 17,000 therms of natural gas for an entire year. A new, energy-efficient rotomold oven would operate on 15,000 therms of natural gas for an entire year. After seeking out price quotes from a few suppliers, Diane determined that it would cost approximately $250,000 to purchase a new,


 

 

 

energy-efficient rotomold oven. She determines that the expected useful life of the new oven would be 10 years, and it would have no salvage value at the end of its useful life. Current Designs would be able to sell the current oven for $10,000.

Instructions

(a)  Prepare an incremental analysis to determine if Current Designs should purchase the new roto- mold oven, assuming that the average price for natural gas over the next 10 years will be $0.65 per therm.

(b)  Diane is concerned that natural gas prices might increase at a faster rate over the next 10 years. If the company projects that the average natural gas price of the next 10 years could be as high as $0.85 per therm, discuss how that might change your conclusion in (a).

Situation 3

One of Current Designs’ competitive advantages is found in the ingenuity of its owner and CEO, Mike Cichanowski. His involvement in the design of kayak molds and production techniques has led to Current Designs being recognized as an industry leader in the design and production of kay- aks. This ingenuity was evident in an improved design of one of the most important components of a kayak, the seat. The “Revolution Seating System” is a one-of-a-kind, rotating axis seat that gives unmatched, full-contact, under-leg support. It is quickly adjustable with a lever-lock system that allows for a customizable seat position that maximizes comfort for the  rider.

Having just designed the “Revolution Seating System,” Current Designs must now decide whether to produce the seats internally or buy them from an outside supplier. The costs for Current Designs to produce the seats are as follows.

 

Direct materials

$20/unit

Direct labor

$15/unit

Variable overhead

$12/unit

Fixed overhead

$20,000

Current Designs will need to produce 3,000 seats this year; 25% of the fixed overhead will be avoided if the seats are purchased from an outside vendor. After soliciting prices from outside suppliers, the company determined that it will cost $50 to purchase a seat from an outside vendor.

Instructions

(a)  Prepare an incremental analysis showing whether Current Designs should make or buy the “Revolution Seating System.”

(b)  Would your answer in (a) change if the productive capacity released by not making the seats could be used to produce income of $20,000?

How many rating points can you purchase? (HINT: You know yourbudget and you know the cost for each rating point. Using these,you can figure out how many total rating points you canpurchase) How many commercials will you get?   (HINT: Fromabove, you know how many rating points you can purchase and youalso know how many rating point each commercial is. Using these,you can figure out how many total rating points you can get. Becareful on your math! Really think about this one.) If you want to purchase the following schedule, how much will itcost you? One spot per evening for one week (Monday through Sunday) – showyour work. (HINT: Think about how many total spots you arepurchasing, then figure out how many rating points you arepurchasing and finally what is the cost of these ratingpoints?) NOTE: Show your work for each answer. This might seem like a challenging question. Just think of itfrom a logic standpoint. There aren’t any formulas that you need toknow. Just think of it as a logical problem rather than a mathproblem. I suggest starting this early so that you can use the openforum if you get stuck and have questions. . . .

Aim of Assignment: To understand and apply the processes of cost estimating Details A university in Sydney wants to run an international conference on project management in Sydney. The University’s project objectives are to provide a profile for the university's commitment to project management education and to provide the community with project management knowledge. The University has already sought tenders from project management consultants to provide project management services for the conference and your consultancy was the successful bidder. The University’s own project sponsor for this project is Professor Jefferson (an academic staff member at the university). In your first meeting with Professor Jefferson he discussed the scope of the project and asked you to submit a report which provides an cost estimate (excluding revenue considerations) for the proposed conference. The following outline scope statement was provided:  2-day conference in Sydney to be run in January 2015  two high-profile international keynote speakers – one for each day  the rest of the programme to be filled with local speakers from within Sydney  conference delegate accommodation will be at their own arrangement and cost  a conference dinner (with entertainment) to be organised on the evening of the first day  costs are to be based on an expected attendance of 200 delegates Your submission must contain the following sections: 1. an introduction to the report (there is no need for an executive summary) 2. a brief explanation of how the data required for the estimate was collected/sourced (ie analogous, parametric, definitive, locations searched, etc) 3. a detailed list of the contents of the estimate and the respective costs. All sources of cost information must be referenced both in-text and in a reference list at the end of the report. Costs should be easy to obtain given that this is not an unusual project. A clear and full explanation of the scope of each item (ie quantity, type, etc) must be provided (including any necessary calculations required to arrive at the cost) and a cost per delegate. You are not required to investigate or report on sponsorships for the conference NOTE: No conclusion or recommendation section is required Presentation (10 marks) 10 Marks will also be awarded for the quality of presentation comprising appropriate layout, neatness of work and appropriate referencing for sources of data.

Resume Formatting Help

This is an example resume, and I want to do mine like this but can't figure out how to format this in Google Docs/ or Word.

The person's name is perfectly centered whereas the left and right addresses are formatted to the left and right. I think the centered name is made separately from the permanent and current address areas, but is there a better way to do this so that it is perfectly aligned.

I think the margins are .5 on both, but everytime i do .5 on left and right, it pushes ALL of my text to the end of paper– very ugly.

Please help me figure out how to format this.
