CASE 4-20 Second Department—Weighted-Average Method[LO2, LO3, LO4]Durall Company manufactures a plastic gasket that is used in automobile engines. The gaskets go through three processing departments: Mixing, Forming, and Stamping. The company’s accountant (who is very inexperienced) has prepared a summary of production and costs for the Forming Department for October as follows:Forming Department costs:Work in process inventory, October 1, 8,000 units:materials 100% complete; conversion 7?8 complete . . . . . . . .$ 22,420*Costs transferred in from the Mixing Department . . . . . . . . . . .81,480Material added during October (added when processing is 50% complete in the Forming Department) . . . . . . . . . . . .27,600Conversion costs added during October . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 96,900Total departmental costs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $228,400Forming Department costs assigned to:Units completed and transferred to the Stamping Department, 100,000 units at $2.284 each . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$228,400Work in process inventory, October 31, 5,000 units: conversion 2?5 complete . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .—Total departmental costs assigned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $228,400*Consists of cost transferred in, $8,820; materials cost, $3,400; and conversion costs, $10,200.After mulling over the data above, Durall’s president commented, “I can’t understand what’s happening here. Despite a concentrated effort at cost reduction, our unit cost actually went up in the Forming Department last month.

Prepare a report for the Forming Department for October showing how much cost should havebeen assigned to the units completed and transferred to the Stamping Department and to the ending work in process inventory.2.

Design plans for care specific to the older adult.Consider the scenario below, then follow the instructions underneath it to complete the assignment.Mrs. YMrs. Y is an 84-year-old client who was recently discharged from the hospital for an infected diabetic ulcer on her left leg. During her hospitalization, Mrs. Y required intravenous antibiotic therapy through a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line.Due to Mrs. Y’s long history of diabetes, her physician ordered that intravenous antibiotic therapy be continued at home. Subsequently, home health services were initiated, a home health nurse was assigned to Mrs. Y’s case, and an initial home visit was scheduled.The home health nurse arrives at Mrs. Y’s home and introduces herself to the client and the family. The nurse explains the home nursing services that will be provided, including the PICC line and intravenous antibiotic therapy treatments.During the initial home visit, the nurse assessed the physiological, psychological, functional, and safety needs of the client. The nurse’s findings were as follows:Mrs. Y lives alone; however, her daughter checks on her frequently throughout the day.The client is noted to have moderate functional issues and ambulates with a cane.The client has several throw rugs in the main walking quarters and minimal lighting throughout the hallways.Mrs. Y states “I used to get around my house with ease, but now I get a little tired and have to sit down and rest frequently.”Consider Mrs. Y’s current health status and functional decline, then address the following:Identify three (3) priority nursing diagnoses for Mrs. Y.Visit the School of Nursing Guide Nursing Reference eBooks section for resources to assist with nursing diagnoses.Create a visual representation of the three (3) priority nursing diagnoses by incorporating them into the Concept Map (template in the worksheet). Be sure each nursing diagnosis includes the following elements:“related to (r/t)” — description of the client’s problem“as evidenced by” — description of the client’s symptomsComplete the Nursing Plan of Care (table in the worksheet) describing what should be implemented for Mrs. Y.Goals: Establish at least one (1) goal for each of the nursing diagnoses you identified (for a total of 3 goals). Goals should be patient-specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time-limited.Nursing Interventions: Describe at least three (3) nursing interventions for each of the goals (for a total of 9 nursing interventions). Each intervention should be in alignment with the goal it is supporting.Complete the assignment using proper spelling, grammar, and APA.

Identify the functional area(s) that are favorably affected by the benefit.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) is a methodology that translates master schedule requirements for end items into time-phased requirements for subassemblies, components, and raw materials. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a computerized system designed to connect all parts of a business organization as well as key portions of its supply chain to a single database for information sharing.As a consultant working in the area of business analysis, you are expected to make recommendations to clients regarding the optimization of business operations, including production, material control, quality, and delivery. In order to convey a sense of professionalism, self-efficacy, and value to the client, you have decided to create a detailed report that outlines the key components of MRP to recommend or caution against the installation of an MRP system.Since your services are rewarded primarily by the effective launch of MRP within the client’s organization, you want to define certain business characteristics that are likely to undermine or block the effective application of MRP so that you will recognize and avoid consulting agreements that carry a high risk of failure. Knowing in advance, what these undesirable characteristics are puts you in a position to adjust your promise to deliver accurately or withdraw your name from the list of potential vendors for the client.Include the following in your report:A list of business operating characteristics best aligned with MRP (where MRP is most effective).A list of operating characteristics that render MRP ineffective or undesirable (when should a clientnotimplement MRP).Benefits of implementing or improving MRP in an organization (list at least 8 key areas of expected improvement, such as reduced lead times).Five selected items from your list of 8 expected improvements, along with descriptions about how a companion ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system might be used to link certain functional areas or operational activities to achieve and maximize each expected improvement effectively. This requires, for each of the five items, a minimum of two paragraphs that:Identify the functional area(s) that are favorably affected by the benefit.Describe ERP data elements (types of information) that serve as inputs and outputs of the ERP and MRP systems.Provide a real-world example that clearly reveals how the chosen improvement item influenced each functional area in one or more of these five key scorecard categories: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Employee Morale.A summary of your thoughts on MRP.Support your paper with at least five (5) scholarly or peer-reviewed sources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.Length: 5-7 pages, not including assignment coversheet, title page, and reference page(s). Use topic section headings for each criterion listed above.Your response should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should also reflect professional business writing and current APA standards.
