Scott Bestor is an accountant for Westfield Company. Early this year, Scott made a highly favorable projection of sales and profits over the next 3 years for Westfield's hot-selling computer PLEX. As a result of the projections Scott presented to senior management, the company decided to expand production in this area. This decision led to dislocations of some plant personnel who were reassigned to one of the company's newer plants in another state. However, no one was fired, and in fact the company expanded its workforce slightly. Unfortunately, Scott rechecked his projection computations a few months later and found that he had made an error that would have reduced his projections substantially. Luckily, sales of PLEX have exceeded projections so far, and management is satisfied with its decision. Scott, however, is not sure what to do. Should he confess his honest mistake and jeopardize his possible promotion

Answer:

Scott Bestor should confess his honest mistake.

Explanation:

Two of most important attributes that are required from an accountant are integrity and trustworthiness.

Refusing to tell the management his honest mistake in order not jeopardize his possible promotion is a short-run gain to him. But confessing his honest mistake has a long run gain as this will preserve his integrity and trustworthiness forever. In addition, it is unethical and a sign of disloyalty for an accountant not to disclose all the information relevant to the company based on his position as an account.

Therefore, Scott Bestor should confess his honest mistake rather than sacrificing his integrity and trustworthiness as well as the ethic of his profession for a short-term gain (i.e. promotion).

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.

Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $500. Overhead is applied at the rate of 140 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to carelessness by a Frieling worker and it is considered to be normal spoilage.
Required:

2. Make any needed journal entry to the overhead control account.
3. What if the additional rework required $200 of direct labor? What would be the effect on the cost of the Tramel job?
