Part 1 The following are performance measures. Classify each performance measure into the most relevant balanced scorecard perspective.   Performance Measure Balanced Scorecard Perspective Percentage of defective products   Return on assets   Number of patents   Employee turnover rate   Customer profitability   Percentage of processes with real-time feedback   Percentage of on-time deliveries by suppliers   Profit per salesperson   Percentage of error-free invoices   Customer cost per unit     Part 2 Each of the following are independent scenarios.  Indicate the type of responsibility centre involved in each scenario.   Terrin Belson, plant manager for the laser printer factory of Compugear Inc. brushed his hair back and sighed. December had been a bad month: two machines had broken down, and some factory production workers (all on salary) were idle for part of the month. Materials prices increased, and insurance premiums on the factory increased. There was no way out of it; costs were going up. He hoped that the marketing vice-president would be able to push through some price increases, but that wasn’t his department.   Joanna Pauly was delighted to see that her ROI figures had increased for the third straight year. She was sure that her campaign to lower costs and use machinery more efficiently (enabling her factories to sell several older machines) was the reason why. Joanna planned to take full credit for the improvements at her semi-annual performance review.   Susan Whitehorse looked at the quarterly profit/loss statement with disgust. Revenue was down, and costs were up – what a combination! Then she had an idea: If she cut back on maintenance and equipment and let a product engineer go, expenses would decrease – perhaps enough to reverse the trend in income.   Shonna Lowry had just been hired to improve the fortunes of the southern divisions of ABC Inc. She met with top staff and hammered out a three-year plan to improve the situation. A centrepiece of the plan is the retirement of obsolete equipment and the purchase of state-of-the-art, computer-assisted machinery. The new machinery would take time for the workers to learn to use, but once that was done, waste would be virtually eliminated.     Part 3   Superior Corporation produces three products which all use the same material. Due to a labour strike, it has become challenging to obtain the material needed for manufacturing the products. The following data is available for the three products:   Product A B C Selling Price $250 $100 $450 Variable Costs           Direct Materials $100 $30 $300     Labour and other costs $85 $31 $102 Quantity of Materials (metres) 2.5 3.0 2.2   The demand for the products far exceeds the amount of material that can currently be purchased.   The current cost of the material is $10 per metre, and a maximum of 3,000 metres is available each month.   Superior Corporation must produce a minimum of 300 units of each product.   Required How many units of product A, B, and C should Superior Corporation produce? Provide full support for your calculation.   What is the maximum amount Superior Corporation would be willing to pay for another metre of material?
