please work out task 3 and 4 with full working out.

Fenton Ltd Fenton Ltd is a manufacturing organisation supplying specialised engineered products to a wide range o a public and private sector throughout the UK. You are a trainee in the finance office recently recruited by the company. Management planning meeting: On the 29th of every month (or nearest Monday) the business executive management team meets to plan trading and production for the following month. The meeting commences with a review of the sales order book and a determination of the following months product sales volumes. The expected sales volumes inform the production planning process and decisions are made with respect to production resources and closing inventory requirements. The agreed plan is the production schedule document. This is forwarded to the production departmental managers who will examine and compare their available resources against the requirement for production. Any problems (constraints) or other issues arising are reported back to the executive management team who will consider making adjustments to: The production requirements The available resources At the start of the following month, the production process will commence with a view to meeting the objectives of the agreed production (action) plan This process is described by the production planning flowchart (shown below): Production Planning Flowchart Start 29th of the Month (or nearest Monday); Executive management planning meeting for the next month's trading objectives: Expected sales determination Production output levels for the following month. .

Fenton Ltd - continued: Goods receiving and locating / storage control process: When goods are received to the business raw materials stores, they are first checked by the store keeper for quantity against a copy of the original purchase order document (this is forwarded to the raw materials stores at the time that the order is placed - with all money values removed). If the quantity is incorrect (allowing for approved part-order deliveries) a 'Quantity rejection note' is prepared. Goods that are acceptable by quantity are quality inspected for size, weight, colour etc. Where goods are found to be unacceptable by quality, a 'Quality rejection note' is prepared. Goods rejected by quantity or quality are located at the 'Returns room' ready for return to the supplier. Acceptable goods are initially identified as either Alpha' or 'Beta'. Alpha: Alphas that are 'Square' are to be located at A01 If the Alphas are not Square' are 'Round'. "Round' Alphas are further sub-analysed as 'Clear' or Opaque'. Alphas that are "Clear' should be located at 'AO2', otherwise the "Opaque' Alphas should be located at 'A03. Beta: Betas that are 'Pentagon' should be located at 'B01 3 Betas that are not 'Pentagon' are 'Hexagon'. Hexagon' Betas are further sub-analysed as either "Large' or 'Small'. 'Large Betas' should be located at 'BO2'; otherwise the 'Small Betas' are to be located at 'B03. After goods received have carefully and accurately been located, the store keeper will prepare a 'goods received note' (GRN). This will be forwarded to the finance office.
