    Marketing is an essential aspect of the company. I believe marketing research and other similar cost categories should definitely be included in the CoQ. These costs are used to prevent the quality from the products to decrease. The cost of review of tests and inspection data is also very important. Roberta should work with the managers and other departments and get the accurate data about other costs. If Aqua-Fun implemented Six-Sigma, the cost of quality education would be expected to increase because of the different leveled training of the employees. The cost of external failure would be expected to decrease- the quality of products increase and the customer satisfaction will also increase because of this.…

    According to RightNow’s internal forecast, the revenue growth rate with the new strategy is 67%. In the pro forma balance sheet, I assume that line of credit, long-term debt, and shareholders’ equity stay the same. Other accounts grow at the same speed as revenue grows. From Exhibit 1, RightNow doesn’t need additional fund to support the strategy in 2004; instead, it could repay its debt. As a software company, RightNow has huge amount of deferred revenue, and this liability actually plays an important role as a financing tool. If the growth rate is not as high as expected or gross margin deteriorates, the size of discharged amount in 2004 will shrink.…
