Moreover, by using InphoniteVoice, they estimate an annual saving with a 50% no-show drop of $318,750.00, which can generate a daily savings of $1,325.00; a monthly saving of $28,156.25; and a total savings yearly of $337,875.00. Since we will not have to recruit, hire or pay for any additional staffing, there will not be any further labor costs, if we choose full vendor
* Closing stores operation the labour cost (4 employees) and space can provide $200,000 savings per year.
The plaintiff (Southern Prestige Industries, Inc.) initiated an action against the defendant (Independence Plating Corp.) in a North Carolina state court for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that defects in the defendant’s anodizing process caused the plaintiff’s machine parts to be rejected by Kidde Aerospace. The defendant being a New Jersey corporation and having its only office and all of its personnel situated in the state filed a motion to dismiss citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and the defendant appealed arguing that there were insufficient contacts to satisfy the due process of law requirements
B. 1. The impact of costs on the decision to move forward with the new Maui Sandal line is as follows: As the production continues, the hours needed for each batch, or individual pair, will begin to decrease. By continuing to produce this line the total labor costs will continue to decrease, but most likely, at a slower rate as more sandals are produced. This data can help the company decide employment levels, capacity, costs, and their pricing of this particular merchandise in the open market. The company predicts that it will take 1,000 labor hours for production to complete for the first batch, with 50 total batches between month 1 and month 4.
5. No because the amount of the invoice fluctuates for the same product in this type of scheme and therefore it would be difficult to figure out how much the invoice should have been made out for.
The CanGo organization is lacking a Project Budget. The group is disorganized and unsure if the project can afford necessary equipment and resources required to complete the project. CanGo’s project team or the project manager needs to develop a project budget, including the goal of the project budget. The project manager will use this budget to help determine if the project is on track and the budget will be used by a number of personal as a guideline to fulfill project milestones. Aspects that need to be considered and included in the project budget are employee compensation, contract services such as hardware and software, equipment and supplies, and the budget should include overhead expenses. Overhead and indirect costs allow the project to absorb part of the administrative costs of the organizations daily operations. Many software options are available on the market today, such as
4. Now consider a second alternative for accumulating funds to buy the new billing system. In lieu of a lump sum investment, assume that five annual payments of $32,000 are made at the end of each year.
The company has hired you as an outside consultant to review the cost system and make recommendations. You decide that
Customers must use the internet to fill out an online form to address their complaints or service needs. These forms are processed by employees in your department. Currently the turnaround time on any given form is between four to eight hours. This creates a number of other customer complaints. Project Call Center is designed to reduce this turnaround time by 75% by creating and staffing a call center in Tampa. Building acquisition, building renovations, building fit out, IT system upgrades, and hiring and training of staff are estimated to cost $8.5 million dollars. This $8.5 million dollars can be paid evenly in any two quarters in the next year. In addition, seven new employees will need to be hired at $40,000 burdened labor costs per year to staff the call center. Management of this project could easily be done with the current in-house staff. Most of the work of this project would be outsourced and will have minimal impact on day-to-operations.
c) Total savings associated with staff reductions ($270,000 per year) – The total savings associated with staff reductions can be considered in the evaluation of this new project because the new software system will enable CCC to reduce its number of employees.
In line with our objective, we proposed two different models both resulted in reducing the total cost. Proposed scenarios are:
Average salary per employee is equal to 100k and a number of participating employees which has 50 employees per each of the 4 waves. The consulting cost is that 15400 per month._
The cost of implementation of the options: It deals with the technicians and the reduction in time of implementation. This leads to better customer service and increases efficiency of the technicians. Also considering a customer base reduction of 5% (Exhibit 2), $1 million dollars will be a prudent investment.
As opposed to purchasing new equipment, we could opt to maintain the equipment we currently have, which has an estimated service life of 11 years remaining. We could retain all of our claimed Investment Tax Credit for this purchase, which has two years of depreciation left, and would not be required to invest in any new training for our employees. We would recognize $31,000 in depreciation in present value terms, as well as save an estimated $200,000 in training costs and losses due to lower production during the “learning curve”. I estimate these savings to be approximately one month of payroll to include both the time spent on training, and our reduced production as employees learn how to use the new equipment. Additional detail of this option is provided in Appendix B, C, & D.
With between 5% and 10% off-invoice allowances, customer further experience lower price which creates a competitive advantage in comparison with
