Question:

Use the data in Problem 17-70 to respond to the requirements that follow.


Required

1. If you haven’t done so already (in conjunction with Problem 17-70), prepare in Excel a cost-of-quality (COQ) report for 2019 and 2020. Show subtotals each year for each of the four COQ categories. As well, show category costs each year as a percentage of revenue for the year. Finally, show each year total COQ as a percentage of revenue for the year. and set up a spreadsheet for this information. Round all percentages to 2 decimal places.

2. Move to another area of your spreadsheet and title the area “Cost of Quality—Trend Analysis.” Show, for both 2019 and 2020, COQ spending (both category-level and in total) as a percentage of sales for the year. Show all percentages to 2 decimal places.

3. Create a bar chart to compare the percentages of each of the COQ categories and the total COQ for 2020 vs. 2019.

4. Do a sensitivity analysis by making the following (joint) changes to the 2020 amounts:

∙ Increase the total sales by 5%.

∙ Increase total prevention cost by 6%.

∙ Decrease total internal failure cost by 60%.

∙ Decrease total external failure cost by 50%.

For each of the four COQ categories, what is the revised (i.e, 2020) category cost as a percentage of sales, rounded to 2 decimal places?
