Janet Jefferson operates a group of 10 Fresh Stop food trucks that serve lunch to busy workers in the business center of a large Midwest city. One of the most popular items on the menu is a quinoa salad made with organic vegetables. The ingredients of the salad, as well as other menu items, are prepped in a central kitchen each morning, under the supervision of the company's chef, MarieBeck, and loaded onto the trucks. The food truck operators assemble the salads as the orders are placed to ensure maximum freshness. Janet employs a purchasing agent, Bruce Atkins, who orders produce directly from local farmers. Bruce places produce orders at the beginning of each week, based on projected demand, and the farmers make deliveries every 2 days
The cost of the produce is usually the responsibility of the purchasing agent. However, in this scenario, Marie the chef has taken the responsibility for the cost of the replacement arugula from the purchasing agent by making a purchasing decision. Since Janet holds the purchasing agent responsible for produce costs, Marie the chef should have discussed the decision with the purchasing agent before trying to resolve the situation.
Do you agree that Janet should be angry with her employees? Why or why not?
A. No. Janet should not be angry with her employees' actions because they acted to satisfy the customers on a short term basis but she should be upset at the local farmers because they should have foreseen the arugula shortage and planned accordingly. The problem lasted several days, which, in the course of the business will seriously harm the profits of a food truck service.
B. No. Janet should not be angry with her employees' actions because they acted to satisfy the customers on a short term basis.However, had they run out of their most popular item for severaldays, this could have long term implications for customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, and in the long run could harm profits as customers find other food trucks or restaurants at which to eat lunch.
C. Yes. Janet should be angry with her employees' actions and the purchasing agent's actions. Neither of them contacted Janet to get her solution to this problem and they both cost Janet money. Only the owner should make this type of decision in the future.

Dahlia enterprises needs someone to supply it with 127,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. it will cost you $940,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. you estimate that in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $77,000. your fixed production costs will be $332,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $11.00 per carton. you also need an initial investment in net working capital of $82,000. if your tax rate is 30 percent and your required return is 11 percent on your investment, what bid price should you submit? (do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
