A 1.8% COLA indicates that from January 2010 to January 2011 the average cost of goods and service in the greater Los Angeles area increased by 1.8%. E-sonic will have to take this percentage into consideration when determining how much employees will be paid. Once compensation surveys are conducted to figure out what competitors are paying their similar marketing positions, the average will have to be increased by 1.8%. Pay Grades: For E-sonic’s marketing department, I have decided to use three pay grades. There are a couple reasons behind this. First of all, when looking at the different jobs within the family, I noticed that the jobs do not have a large...

...North America Equity Research 22 September 2014 US Automakers See Attractively Deep Value in GM As We Roll Out 2016 Estimates for US Automakers; Like Ford; Cautious on TSLA We introduce our 2016 estimates and roll-forward valuation for GM and Ford, finding +50% upside in the case of General Motors and +32% in the case of Ford. Our established 2015 price targets increase on newly considered 2016 earnings rather than 2015 in our valuation analysis and on capital structure roll-forward as the firms generate sizable cash flow. 2016 earnings are expected to rise relative to 2015, on industry tailwinds (continued trend toward more normal volumes in Europe, cycling past a period of atypically strong macro headwinds in South America, robust growth in China, and continued cyclical increase in North America even if at a lesser rate) as well as various different self-help initiatives (e.g., as restructurings in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere take further hold, and on cost control efforts in North America). We reiterate our Overweight ratings on both GM and Ford, seeing more value in automaker stocks than in supplier stocks generally, on earnings that are growing almost as quickly as the average supplier over our newly extended forecast window (and at least as structurally improved relative to history) but valuation which is only in line with historical average (Ford) or even significantly below (GM). We are more cautious on Tesla, however, with our Neutral rating balancing incremental...

...AInternational Journal of Production Research, Vol. 46, No. 4, 15 February 2008, 1047–1069 Activity-based costing in flexible manufacturing systems with a case study in a forging industry K. REZAIEy, B. OSTADI*z and S. A. TORABIy yDepartment of Industrial Engineeing, Faculty of Engineering, University of Tehran, PO Box 11365/4563, Tehran, Iran zDepartment of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran (Revision received August 2006) The objective of this paper is to apply the activity-based costing (ABC) approach together with traditional costing (TC) for parts costing in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) with the A(2) level of automation. We propose a new model for the implementation of ABC using the product cost tree concept. First, the required resources and activities for each part are recorded, and then their costs are calculated using the appropriate cost formulae. This model was applied in a forging industry. A comparison and analysis between ABC and TC was then carried out based on the computational results obtained from the case study. The results indicate that the ABC outputs are more reliable than the TC outputs, and thus the ABC approach is a more acceptable tool for parts costing in FMS. Keywords: Costing; Activity-based costing; Cost management; Flexible manufacturing; Product cost tree concept 1.

According to this new logic, customers always are co-producers of services and co-creators of value, not simple marketing targets, because they mobilize knowledge and other resources in the service process that affect the success of a value proposition. This article explores this key proposition, analyzing service co-production and value co-creation phenomena in the business-to-business segment and focusing on the case of service-oriented architecture (SOA) with an in-depth, qualitative analysis of two firms pioneering the implementation of SOA solutions. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
