Submitting a website url

Part A: Visit https://locations.aarons.com/us-al-florence-265-co sites, not including those mentioned in this chapter, and evaluate the effectiveness of the sites according to the eight basic criteria/functionalities listed in Table 4.11. Choose one site you feel does an excellent job on all the aspects of an effective site and create an electronic presentation, including screen shots, to support your choice

Ques# Project 4.2 – Visit several e-commerce sites, not including those mentioned in this chapter, and evaluate the effectiveness of the sites according to the eight basic criteria/functionalities listed in Table 4.11

Part B:

With your group, complete Project 4.2 using the same website/company as in Project 1.1. This project asks for you to evaluate “several” e-commerce sites. These should include:

1) https://www.coffeebeandirect.com/coffee.html

2) an industry leader (perhaps that even sells your product) such as Amazon, eBay, Craigslist (yes, Craigslist looks old-school but is highly relevant), WalMart, etc.

3) a substitute product (e.g., Vapur.us with Nalgene.com) or an aspirant website (one that inspires or has cool features you could “borrow”, www.cam1newton.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).

Equivalent Units and Related Costs; Cost of Production Report; Entries

Wilmington Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three
processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling
Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging
as finished chemicals.

The balance in the account Work in Process—Filling was as follows on December 1,
2012:

The following costs were charged to Work in Process—Filling during December:

During December, 32,000 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in
Process—Filling Department on December 31 was 2,800 units, 10% completed.

Instructions: 1.  Prepare
a cost of production report for the Filling Department for December. If
an amount is zero, enter “0”. If required, round your cost per
equivalent unit answers to two decimal places.

Subcontractor Bids

You have chosen the general contractor to build the building and bids have been put out for subcontrac- tors to perform the specific aspects of the work.

Three of your accounting clients bid in a different subcontractor category—dry walling, plumbing, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). Your clients are the lowest bidders in dry walling and plumbing, but a high bid in HVAC. As is common practice, after the bid deadline subcontractors ask the contractor for the amount of the lowest bid submitted.

The general contractor reviews the client bids with you.

He informs you that the low-bid dry waller does high-quality work, but the low-bid plumber is known for substandard work. The general contractor strongly recommends the plumber with the second lowest bid, whom he has worked with on previous projects. This is problematic because the low-bid plumber has been a very loyal customer over the years and has suggested that he might change accounting firms if not chosen for this building project.

The general contractor has high regard for your HVAC client, but that bid was nearly double the amount of the low-bid HVAC. This is also problematic because the low-bid HVAC, if not chosen, could com- plain to others in the community about your bidding manipulations because he knows he’s the lowest bid.

What would you do? Would you

1. Use a “low-bid hired” rule that would result in your HVAC client not being chosen, and choosing your plumber client who performs substandard work?

2. Use an “all clients hired” rule that would result in the two high-quality dry waller and HVAC clients being chosen, though the HVAC client is at twice the low bid, and choosing your substan- dard plumber client?

3. Use a “high-quality hired” rule that results in choosing two of your three clients—the low-bid dry waller client and high-bid HVAC client, but not the low-bid substandard plumber, thus risk losing the plumber as a loyal client?
