Johnson Limited is contemplating the installation of a new system that would allow for automated handling of customer inquiries about their order status, account balances, etc. Currently all such inquiries are handled manually by customer service representatives. The software for the new system would cost $214,000. An additional $169,000 would be required for one-time installation costs. Management estimates that the new system would result in costs of $10,300 per year related to addressing software issues and other technological problems that may arise. However, the new system is expected to reduce labour costs by $65,000 per year. Management estimates that the system would be used for five years. Severance costs related to the employees that would be laid off after implementing the new system would be $22,600. Johnson Limited requires a return of at least 15% on investments of this type. Required: Ignore income taxes. 1. Compute the net annual cost savings promised by the new system.…
A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position tests material that has defective content on an average of 0.04. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $9. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into the product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $10 each when they are detected in final product testing. (Answer in Appendix D)a. Should this inspection position be eliminated?b. What is the cost to inspect each unit?c. Is there a benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much?

The budgeted production level is 207,000 units. Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $508,000. The new prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $50,000.

JIT production, relevant benets, relevant costs, ethics. Galveston Pump Corporation is considering implementing a JIT production system. The new system would reduce current average inventory levels of $2,000,000 by 75%, but it would require a much greater dependency on the company’s core suppliers for on-time deliveries and high-quality inputs. The company’s operations manager, Frank Griswold, is opposed to the idea of a new JIT system because he is concerned that the new system (a) will be too costly to manage; (b) will result in too many stockouts; and (c) will lead to the layoff of his employees, several of whom are currently managing inventory. He believes that these layoffs will affect the morale of his entire production department. The management accountant, Bonnie Barrett, is in favor of the new system because of its likely cost savings. Frank wants Bonnie to rework the numbers because he is concerned that top management will give more weight to nancial factors and not give due…
