Heavenly Chocolates manufactures and sells quality chocolate products at its plant and retail store located in Saratoga Springs, New York. Two years ago, the company developed a web site and began selling its products over the Internet. Web-site sales have exceeded the company’s expectations, and management is now considering strategies to increase sales even further. To learn more about the web-site customers, a sample of 50 Heavenly Chocolate transactions was selected from the previous month’s sales. Data showing the day of the week each transaction was made, the type of browser the customer used, the time spent on the web site, the number of web pages viewed, and the amount spent by each of the 50 customers are contained in the file named Heavenly Chocolates. A portion of the data is shown in the table that follows: Heavenly Chocolates would like to use the sample data to determine whether online shoppers who spend more time and view more pages also spend more money during their visit to the web site. The company would also like to investigate the effect that the day of the week and the type of browser have on sales.

When a company has post-acquisition expenditures related to Property, Plant, and Equipment it must determine whether the amount should be expensed as an ordinary repair or capitalized as a major repair, addition, or betterment. This requires considering the nature of the expenditure and the use of judgment. Many companies use a threshold amount. Any expenditure below the threshold is expensed. Items over the threshold are examined and a decision is made about whether to expense or capitalize the item. This approach is justified by both materiality and considering costs and benefits. For example, a company with $94 million in net property, plant, and equipment and $250 million of operating expenses would not consider a $100 repair as material. Plus, if the company had to spend thousands of dollars examining every repair expenditure, the costs of doing the analysis could easily outweigh the benefits. SouthEast Equipment has a large number of machines and equipment that are available for…

VVC has been in the vinyl siding business form any year sand is currently investigating ways to modernize its manufacturing process. At the first staff meeting Patrick attended, Jack Kielshesky , chief engineer, presented a proposal for automating the Molding Department.

The cost savings outlined in the proposal include the elimination of direct-labor cost in the Molding Department plus a reduction of manufacturing overhead cost in the department to zero, because VVC charges manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct-labor dollars using a plant wide rate.

Using her background in fine art, she developed this specialist chalk paint to be used in the restoration of furniture and to decorate accessories. The chalk paints are exclusively available through Crex Co's network of over 800 independent stockists who are located in over 30 countries around the world. The manufacturing process begins with the three chemicals required for the paint being measured on electronic scales. A worker then takes the chemicals and places them into a machine for mixing. Once mixed the worker removes the mixture from the machine and transfers it to tin containers. The standard material costs per litre of chalk paint are as follows: Litres required $ per litre 0.80 1.20 0.15 1.40 0.10 0.80 1.05 Material Latex paint Plaster of Paris Calcium carbonate At the end of the last period, actual output of the chalk paint was 3,325 litres and actual data relating to this production…
Vince Malloy and Katy Smith, both systems personnel at Shamrock Steelworks, are designing a new expenditure cycle system. Vince has worked for Shamrock for 12 years and has been involved in many systems development projects. Katy recently began working for Shamrock. She has 4 years of experience in systems development with another comparably sized organization. Yesterday, Vince and Katy met to determine their plan for approaching the conceptual system design. Following is an excerpt of some dialogue that occurred in that meeting.Katy: I really think that the new system can be designed more efficiently if we use an object-oriented design approach. Further, future enhancements and maintenance will be easier if we use an object approach.Vince: The method you are suggesting is a creation of modules. I do not have a problem with that concept in general. I just prefer using a top-down approach to design the system. We have been using that system for the past 12 years, and it has worked out…
