"Now, here's my idea," said Tim. "Instead of producing 400 items a month, every month, we match the production schedule with the sales forecast. For example, if we expect to sell 150 windsurfers in October, then we only make 150. That way we avoid borrowing to make the 250 more that we don't expect to sell, anyway. Over the course of an entire year the savings in interest expense could really add up." "Hold on, now," Pop responded, feeling that his territory was being threatened. "That kind of scheduling really fouls up things in the shop where it counts. It causes a feast or famine environment-nothing to do for one month, then a deluge the next. It's terrible for the employees, not to mention the supervisors who are trying to run an efficient operation. Your idea may make the income statements look good for now, but the whole company will suffer in the long run." Chuck intervened. "OK, you guys, calm down. Tim may have a good idea or he may not, but at least it's worth looking into. I propose that you all work up two sets of figures, one assuming level production and one matching production with sales. We'll look at them both and see if Tim's idea really does produce better results. If it does, we'll check it further against other issues Pop is concerned about and then make a decision on which alternative is better for the firm."

Write a one paragraph summary of what the new computations reflect and what you would suggest as a result of your findings. 2. Reference table 5 to calculate how much Tim's suggestion would save in interest expense in a year. A. Use your recomputed figures in Table 5 from question 1 to summarize what the change would offer as a savings from the total interest expense. Justify your perspective on whether those findings would be a positive point for Tim's suggestion or a positive point for Roy ("Pop"). 3. Assume that there is an added expense for each sales dollar of .5 percent (.005). Based on this fact and the information computed in question 2, is seasonal production justified? A. Compute the total sales using table 3 (original or recomputed table can be sued) B. Apply the added expense and identify what the expense amount will do (increase/decrease and by how much). C. Compare the rate of the added expense burden to the interest savings computed in question 2 of table5. D. Write a one paragraph summary of your findings. Include if you feel the seasonal production plan is justified or not and why you are making the formal recommendation to implement the change or not.
