Accounting

Number 5

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below] Watko Entertainment Systems (WES) buys audio and video components for assembling home entertainment systems from two suppliers, Bacon Electronics and Hessel Audio and Video. The components are delivered in cartons. If the cartons are delivered late, the installation for the customer is delayed. Delayed instalations lead to contractual penalies that call for WES to reimburse a portion of the purchase price to the customer. During the past quarter, the purchasing and delivery data for the two suppliers showed the following: The Accounting Department recorded $234,000 as the cost of late deliveries to customers. Assume that the average quality, measured by the percentage of late deliveries, and prices from the two companies will continue as in the past. Also assume that the number of components is the same for all deliveries from either company. Required: What percentage of late deliveries by Bacon would make WES indifferent between buying from Bacon Electronics and Hessel Audio and Video? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., .3212 as 32.12 )
