  • Milestone One

    Overview

    Successful entrepreneurs understand all aspects of business, especially costs and costing systems. In the course project, you will assume the role of the owner of a small business. Apply managerial accounting principles to evaluate and manage costs related to your products and services within a costing system. In the first milestone of the project, you will determine and classify the costs necessary for opening your business.

    Scenario

    You plan to open a business manufacturing collars, leashes, and harnesses for pets. To begin, you will manufacture these in a standard style and size with plans to expand your range over the year. In a few weeks, you will present your companys financial strategy to some key investors. To begin creating your strategy, you must consider and record all the costs associated with operating your business. You have decided to use the job order costing system.

    Directions

    Use the given operational costs provided in the Milestone One Operational Costs Data Appendix, linked in the Supporting Materials section, to complete the first two tabs, Cost Classification and Variable and Fixed Costs, in the Project Workbook, linked in the What to Submit section below.

    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

    • Cost Classification: Accurately classify all your costs in the Cost Classification tab of your workbook.
    • Identify direct material, direct labor, overhead, and period costs. Note: Fixed and variable costs have been classified for you.
    • Variable and Fixed Costs: Complete the Variable and Fixed Costs tab of your workbook. Note: Some costs are provided for you. Fill in only the missing costs.
    • Determine your total variable cost per unit and the total fixed costs for each product. Show your work using calculations to the side of the table or using appropriate formulas in the table.

    What to Submit

    Submit the with the Cost Classification and Fixed and Variable Costs tabs completed. This file should be completed and submitted using Microsoft Excel.

  • Free baby formula

    For this case study, let’s assume you recently were promoted and you now manage a hospital dental clinic. As part of this job, you hold a seat on the hospitals Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). In that capacity, review the following case study, and choose one to write about. You will present your case study to the head of the hospitals Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC)

    In addition, the third case was an important policy issue that had ethical implications: Should the hospital provide free baby formula? This issue was more complex than it first appeared.

    At question was a curious phenomenon. Health professionals were virtually unanimous in the belief that breast milk was best for infants. Evidence was overwhelming that breast milk reduced a baby’s susceptibility to illnesses such as ear infections and stomach flu and played a positive role in many other ways such as mental and hormonal development. Why, then, did so many mothers who gave birth in hospitals choose synthetic baby formula? The reasons were many and varied, including opposition to breast-feeding from family and friends, lack of good information, unsympathetic work settings, and reasons of custom and fashion. Many health professionals believed hospitals undermined breast-feeding by the widespread practice of giving new mothers free formula supplied by formula manufacturers. Research indicated the practice did make a difference. One study at Boston City Hospital, cited in The Wall Street Journal, found that 343 low-income women, who received free formula from the hospital, breast-fed their infants for a median duration of forty-two days, compared with sixty days for those who received no free formula-a difference of 30 percent. The article concluded with the observation that breast-feeding rates were not much higher than they were ten years ago.

    At a joint meeting of the IECs of the three local hospitals, this issue of conflict of interest between formula manufacturers that supplied the free formula and the three hospitals was raised. All three hospitals accepted free baby formula. One breastfeeding proponent candidly described her suspicion of the close ties between hospitals and formula companies hoping to promote their product. Discussion of the issue by IEC members at this joint meeting resulted in four main options for dealing with the issue: (1) accept no free formula at all despite its availability; (2) give no free formula to those who breast-feed; (3) charge patients a nominal fee for the free formula, so families considered the cost of formula when making the breast-feeding decision; and (4) continue to issue free formula but also distribute information about the benefits of breast-feeding. The four options were not prioritized.

    At Mr. Blackwell’s request, the IEC of Regional Memorial Hospital is to meet to advise him on a morally justifiable course of action relative to the hospital’s free baby formula practice and to offer advice on what to do about Baby Boy-X and Annie O.

  • WK 4 Reflection

    The Affordable Care Act was enacted in February of 2010. Acknowledging that the law was controversial and hotly disputed at the time would be a gross understatement. Since the time that the law was debated in Congress, enacted, and its regulations promulgated, bitter debates along mostly partisan lines have ensued. Challenges in the courts have been plentiful.

    Despite all of this, the law (including some changes in enforcement) is still law. Please read the following two short articles, along with the Policy Snapshot beginning on page 3 of the Meacham text. Then answer the questions below.

    (1)

    (2)

    Reflection Questions:

    (1) Assuming you are old enough to remember, how did you feel about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2010? Were you supportive of the law or did you disagree with it? If you are too young to have formed an opinion back then think about whether, knowing what you know now, you would have supported the law?

    (2) Take a second look at the Charts About Public Opinion. The first chart presented notes that more people have a positive view of the law than did in the past. Why do you think this is true?

    (3) Think about the Affordable Care Act in the context of policymaking. That is, think about the problem, potential solutions, and political circumstances that converged to cause health care insurance to rise to the level of a “window of opportunity”. The Policy Snapshot will likely help you to get started on this response, which should be your longest response.

    As always, please be sure to draft and edit before you submit your document. Be sure to explain your reasoning. And, of course, please don’t submit work that is not your own – including references and quotations is fine, but the majority of your response should be your own writing.
