Zuzu is a large manufacturer of snack cakes. The company operates distribution centers in Chicago. The distribution center bakes and packages the snack cakes and ships them to grocery warehouses throughout the country. Because of the high standards set for both quality and appearance, there is a reasonable number of “seconds” that do not meet standards and are sold to company outlets for sale at reduced prices. In recent years, the company’s average yield has been 90% of first-quality products for sale to grocery warehouses. The remaining 10% is sent to the outlet store. Zuzu’s performance-evaluation system pays its distribution center managers substantial bonuses if the company achieves annual budgeted profit numbers. In the last quarter of 2017, Noah Spalding, Zuzu’s controller, noted a significant increase in yield percentage of the Chicago distribution center, from 90% to 98%. This increase resulted in a 10% increase in the center’s profits. During a recent trip to the Chicago center, Spalding wandered into the snack cake warehouse. He noticed that most of the snack cake “seconds” were being packed and sent off to grocery warehouses instead of being sent to the outlet stores. When he asked one of the workers, he was told that the center’s manager had directed workers to stop sending all the “seconds” to the outlet except for the extremely dam- aged packages. This practice resulted in the center overreporting both yield and ending inventory of normal, saleable product. The overstatement of Chicago inventory will have a significant impact on Zuzu’s financial statements.
1. What should Spalding do? You may want to refer to the IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice, page 17. 2.
Which lever of control is Zuzu emphasizing? What changes, if any, should be made?

Birch Company normally produces and sells 42,000 units of RG-6 each month. The selling price is $24 per unit, variable costs are $15 per unit, fixed manufacturing overhead costs total $195,000 per month, and fixed selling costs total $38,000 per month.
Employment-contract strikes in the companies that purchase the bulk of the RG-6 units have caused Birch Company’s sales to temporarily drop to only 9,000 units per month. Birch Company estimates that the strikes will last for two months, after which time sales of RG-6 should return to normal. Due to the current low level of sales, Birch Company is thinking about closing down its own plant during the strike, which would reduce its fixed manufacturing overhead costs by $45,000 per month and its fixed selling costs by 11%. Start-up costs at the end of the shutdown period would total $16,000. Because Birch Company uses Lean Production methods, no inventories are on hand.
Required:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) if Birch closes its own plant for two months?
2. Should Birch close the plant for two months?
3. At what level of unit sales for the two-month period would Birch Company be indifferent between closing the plant or keeping it open?
