Pitbull Construction Corporation applies IFRS, has equipment that it can reliably measure fair value of, and has chosen to apply the revaluation model to valuing this equipment on its accounting records. The carrying value of this equipment on Pitbull's books at the end of last year, December 31, 20X1, was $200,000. At the end of this year, December 31, 20X2, due to decreased demand for the equipment, especially when resold as used, the fair value is $150,000. For the year 20X2, in relation to this equipment for which Pitbull has chosen to apply the revaluation method, Pitbull must:_________

Snoblo, a manufacturer of snowblowers, sells four models. The base model, Reguplo, has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 10,000 and a stand deviation of 1,000. The three other models have additional features, and each has demand that is normally distributed, with a mean of 1,000 and a standard deviation of 700. Currently all four models are manufactured on the same line at a cost of $100 for Reguplo and $110 for each of the other three models. Reguplo sells for $200, whereas each of the other three models sells for $220. Any unsold blowers are sold at the end of the season for $80. Snoblo is considering the use of tailored sourcing by setting up two separate lines, one for Reguplo and one for the other three. Given that no changeovers will be required on the Reguplo line, the production cost of Reguplo is expected to decline to $90. The production cost of the other three products, however, will now increase to $120.

Required:
a. How will tailored sourcing affect the production and profits?
b. Is tailored sourcing more profitable for Snoblo? Why?

Bank Reconciliation and Entries The cash account for Stone Systems at July 31, 20Y5, indicated a balance of $12,270. The bank statement indicated a balance of $15,440 on July 31, 20Y5. Comparing the bank statement and the accompanying canceled checks and memos with the records reveals the following reconciling items: Checks outstanding totaled $5,560. A deposit of $5,790, representing receipts of July 31, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement. The bank had collected $3,010 on a note left for collection. The face of the note was $2,860. A check for $800 returned with the statement had been incorrectly recorded by Stone Systems as $880. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Holland Co. for the purchase of office supplies on account. A check drawn for $400 had been incorrectly charged by the bank as $40. Bank service charges for July amounted to $50.

Required:
Prepare a bank reconciliation.

The city of Ashkelon, on the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, is one of the major cities of the Philistines. A powerful merchant family (known henceforth as The Family) of this city has to decide how to allocate its vast but finite resources to further their own wealth and the glory and influence of their state. Some trade routes use camel caravans and go to the southern deserts, where they may trade in salt and gold with the great inland African nations; others may go north and west, oversea by galley, toward the Greeks; others may push their foul-mouthed, humped mounts east, overland toward Sumeria, to trade in spices and the crafted goods specific to that region. Some of the routes are over more arduous terrain than others, so make take longer to pay off (no revenue is realized by The Family until the caravan returns to Ashkelon). The financial costs and returns of each route are as follows (in Phils, the currency of the Philistines:
Route Costs,Period 0 Revenue, Period1 Revenue, Period 2 Revenue, Period 3
African Route - 75,000 215,000
Greek Route - 50,000 140,000
Sumerian Route -125,000 385,000
Costs are incurred at the end of year zero, and revenues accrue at the end of Periods 1, 2, and 3, for each respective route (for instance, the African caravan returns at the end of period two, at which time its revenue is realized). The discount rate for the shipping company is 5%.
a. Calculate the NPV, B/C ratio, Payback period, and IRR for each route option
b. Rank the route options according to NPV, B/C ratio, Payback period, and IRR
c. If the company had unlimited funds, which trade routes would you recommend the family pursue? Why? Be sure to consider all combinations of routes, including multiple caravans on the same trade route
d. Given that the family can only invest 150,000 Phils, which combination of trade routes would you recommend pursuing? Why?

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Other current liabilities 2,003 1,695
Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.
Total cash received (in $ millions) = $Answer
(c) Use the financial statement effects template to show the effect of the cash Costco received during 2016 for membership fees and the recognition of membership fees revenue for 2016.
Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.

Assume that your father is now 50 years old, plans to retire in 10 years, and expects to live for 25 years after he retires - that is, until age 85. He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $55,000 has today. He wants all his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that if inflation occurs the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then receive 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 3% per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 saved and expects to earn a return on his savings of 4% per year with annual compounding.

Required:
To the nearest dollar, how much must he save during each of the next 10 years (with equal deposits being made at the end of each year, beginning a year from today) to meet his retirement goal? (Note: Neither the amount he saves nor the amount he withdraws upon retirement is a growing annuity.) Do not round intermediate steps.

Consider a simple example economy where there are two goods, coconuts and restaurant meals (coconut-based). There are two firms. A coconut producer collects and sells 10 million coconuts at $2.00 each. The firm pays $5 million in wages, $0.5 million in interest on an old loan, and $1.5 million in taxes to the government. We also know that 4 million coconuts are sold to the public for consumption, and 6 million coconuts are sold to the restaurant firm, which uses them to prepare meals. The restaurant sells $30 million in meals. The restaurant pays $4 million in wages and the government $3 million in taxes. The government supplies security and accounting services and employs only labor, and government workers are paid $5.5 million, collected in taxed by the government. Finally, consumers pay $1 million in taxes to the government in addition to the taxes paid by the two firms.

Required:
a. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the product approach.
b. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the expenditure approach.
c. Compute GDP for this simple economy using the income approach.

Tom Cruise Lines Inc. issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 20-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 13 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below:
Real rate of return 4 %
Inflation premium 5
Risk premium 4
Total return 13 %
Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 15 years remaining until maturity. Use Appendix B and Appendix D.
