The controller for McGarvey Manufacturing Company felt that the number of purchase orders alone did not explain the monthly purchasing cost. He knew that nonstandard orders (forexample, one requiring an overseas supplier) took more time and effort. He collected data on the number of nonstandard orders for the past 12 months and added that information to thedata on purchasing cost and total number of purchase orders.MonthJanuaryFebruaryMarchMayJulyAugustSeptemberOctoberNovemberDecemberPurchasingCostInterceptX variable 1X variable 2Required:$19,25018,05018,20018,05019,34519,50019,67020,94019,43020,02018,80019,340Number ofPurchaseOrders370330320410400450460560440600470480Number ofNonstandardOrders6140357355308051751227Multiple regression was run on the above data; the coefficients shown by the regression program are:14,530 (rounded to the nearest dollar)6.30 (rounded to the nearest cent)16.8 (rounded to the nearest cent)1.

Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?

When Specialty discovers a new toy with good market potential, itchooses an October market entry date.In order to get toys in its stores by October, Specialty places one-time orders with itsmanufacturers in June or July of each year. Demand for children’s toys can be highly volatile. If a newtoy catches on, a sense of shortage in the marketplace often increases the demand to high levels and largeprofits can be realized.

If too few arepurchased, sales will be lost; if too many are…
