Recently, the Polish General Corporation, well-known for manufacturing appliances and automobile parts, initiated a $13 billion

project to produce automobiles. A great deal of learning on the part of management and employees was required. Even though pressure was mounting to get a new product to market in early 2012, the production manager of the newly formed automobile division insisted on almost a year of trial runs before sales started because workers have to do their jobs 60 to 100 times before they can memorize the right sequence. The launch date was set for early 2013. What are the consequences of using this approach to enter the market with a new product?

Answer:

Polish General Corporation is a new player in automobile production, their background for manufacturing automobile parts is an advantage as they can insource for parts.

The approach of giving ample time for trials is a good one. It will be a competitive advantage for the company if their products are synonymous with quality.

Their first product in the automobile market place should set a standard on which the company can build a long lasting brand.

So the decision by the manager to prolong trials is a wise one. The employees will also have mastered the process at the end of this period, having practices 60 - 100 times. Based on the expertise learnt products produced in the future will also have high quality.

Answer:

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.

Explanation:

Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.

Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.

Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$3,850

Explanation:

The computation of the machine's second-year depreciation under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Cost of the machine - salvage value) ÷ (estimated useful life)

= ($43,500 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= ($38,500) ÷ (10 years)  

= $3,850

In this method, the depreciation is the same for all the remaining useful life. Therefore, for the second year also, the depreciation expense is the same i.e $3,850
