Yoder Furniture Works
Yoder Furniture Works manufactures a high-quality, wooden rocker-recliner. A key differentiating feature of this rocker-recliner is the ease with which a hand-operated lever raises and lowers the footrest. Yoder left the prototype phase and began commercial production on January 1, 2015. A retired accountant of the founder, Steve Yoder, maintained the accounting records on a temporary basis through January 31, 2015. Now, Yoder is searching for a replacement. Potential candidates are being asked to evaluate the information from the first month of commercial operation as follows:
