    Hello,

    Question: quality costs and total quality management at manufacturing division

    In the Answer Sheet, the examiner states that a 10% improvement in the failures could generate $4 m in costs savings and the budget for improvement to production which prevent such failures……

    Can you please explain to me how did he calculate this 10%? (did he made an assumption?)

    It’s just an assumption. He could just as easily have demonstrated the effect by talking about a 25% improvement.

    Thank you Ken. 🙂

    Assuming 25% improvement, then how much it will generate in terms of cost savings? did the examiner calculate it based on the figures? the $4 cost saving refers to the scrap value figures.

    Another question: Dec 2016 Question 2(a)
    How is the exchange rate calculated?
    Previous rate: C$1= V$1.40 and current rate: C$1 = V$1.50

    why is it deducted from minus 1 (-1) ?

    How is the exchange rate calculated for the cost of sales figures?
    Previous rate: C$1= V$1.40 and current rate: C$1 = V$1.50

    why is it deducted from minus 1 (-1) ?

    Also, how is the fuel tax increase for the distribution costs calculated?
    3/160?
