How many pretzels should be ordered?

Spreadsheet modeling and decision analysis

Question on Spreadsheet modeling and decision analysis:-

K’s brewery is sponsoring sports games and putting up “beer gardens”, selling drinks and snacks. For the first such event, the manager of the beer garden needs to determine how many pretzels to order. The local bakery offers a contract for 120, 150 or 180 pretzels, at a cost of Euro 0.40 each. The sales price is Euro 1.50. Any unsold pretzel is given to a charity.

If the game is interesting, the manager thinks that fewer people will come to the beer garden. In this case, demand is expected to be normally distributed, with a mean of 140 and a standard deviation of 20. However, if the game is boring, more people will come, with normally distributed demand (mean 190 and standard deviation 15). Based on the profile of the teams playing in the event, the manager thinks that there is a 40% chance that the game will end up being boring. Based on expected profit and expected percentage of unsold pretzels, how many pretzels should be ordered?

How should you report to this request by the chief financial officer?

Assume that you are the managerial accountant at InfoStore, a manufacturer of hard drives, CDs, and DVDs. Its reporting year-end is December 31. The chief financial officer is concerned about having enough cash to pay the expected income tax bill because of poor cash flow management. On November 15, the purchasing department purchased excess inventory of CD raw materials in anticipation of rapid growth of this product beginning in January of the next year. To decrease the company’s tax liability, the chief financial officer tells you to record the purchase of this inventory as part of supplies and expense it in the current year as this would decrease the company’s tax liability by increasing expenses. Discuss the account to which the CDs should be recorded and identify the materials in terms of cost. How should you report to this request by the chief financial officer? Are there any ethical reporting aspects to consider?

How is this different from completing an audit?

Many accounting and accounting-related professionals are skilled in financial analysis, but most are not skilled in manufacturing. This is especially the case for process manufacturing environments (for example, a bottling plant or a chemical factory). To provide professional accounting and financial services, one must understand the industry, its product, and its processes. As accountants, we have an ethical responsibility to develop this understanding before offering services to clients in these areas. Discuss how you would obtain an understanding of key business processes of a company that hires you to provide financial services. How is this different from completing an audit?

Describe the direct labor analysis you would undertake to complete this survey and why you would take that particular approach to gathering data.

Labor costs of an auto mechanic are seldom based on actual hours worked. (Many of us realize this when we have serviced our automobiles). Instead, the amount paid a mechanic is based on an industry average of time estimated to complete a repair job. The repair shop bills the customer for the industry average amount of time at the repair center’s billable cost per hour. This means a customer can pay, for example, $120 for two hours if work on the car when the actual time was only one hour. Many experienced mechanics can complete repair job faster than the industry average. The average data are compiled by engineering studies and surveys conducted in the auto repair business. Assume that you, as the auto shop’s accountant, are asked to complete such a survey for a repair center. The survey calls for objective input, and many questions require detailed cost data and analysis. The mechanics and owners know you have the survey and encourage you to complete it in a way that increases the average billable hours for repair work. For this discussion, describe the direct labor analysis you would undertake to complete this survey and why you would take that particular approach to gathering data.

Discuss why these three areas are important to identify for estimation errors when you are considering an investment project.

A consultant commented that “too often the numbers look good but feel bad”. This comment often stems from an estimation error common to capital budgeting proposals that relate to future cash flows. Three reasons for this error often exist. First, reliability in predicting cash flows several years into the future is very difficult. Second, the present value of cash flows many years into the future (say, beyond 10 years) is often very small. Third, it is difficult for personal biases and expectations not to unduly influence present value computations. Discuss why these three areas are important to identify for estimation errors when you are considering an investment project.
