I think the case study with its proposed solutions would be useful to the agricultural enterprises seeking to employ management accounting techniques. It is because the study adopts the activity-based method of costing product and cost allocations. Activities are the main focus on activity-based costing. The main theory in ABC is that overhead costs are originated by an array of movements, and those different products make use of these activities in a heterogeneous way.

The online competitors have competitive pricing, but are mainly sales. Many of our customers prefer to rent due to the limited time the product is needed. Our main competitor for the customers that we serve is the clients, or medical clinics, themselves. Many of the doctors and clinics that we approach have their own inventory or preferred brand or style of mobility device to suggest to the customer. Our advantage over client competition is our pricing.

End Vision First, I think that implementing a good management plan by the upper level management is very important for KFF’s to succeed as a company. Having a replacement inventory coordinator who purchases the best possible products for all three stores, Also, having a person who controls the accounts payable, receivables, and finances that coordinate all vendors get paid on time will allow Kathy Kudler to focus more on duties that need more attention. For instance, implement a better website for the business will give better benefits to customer, therefore, sells will increase.

To have any real sustainability as a company, education is a primary factor in the success, not just for the elite few, but also for the masses. The introduction of increased benefits in the tuition reimbursement program will send a significant message of respect and caring to employees.

Another way managed care organizations control costs is by eliminating expensive doctors from their provider list. Expensive doctors are usually noticed because he/she order many more x-rays, CAT scans and laboratory procedures than normal. By using a computer managed care organization can tell how many of these costly procedures each doctor has ordered and how many patients he/she has treated.
