Winslow Inc. Product Income Statements—Absorption Costing For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y1

1 Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
2. Revenues $850,000.00 $700,000.00 $635,000.00
3. Cost of goods sold 413,000.00 338,700.00 419,000.00
4. Gross profit $437,000.00 $361,300.00 $216,000.00
5. Selling and administrative expenses 389,000.00 257,900.00 359,500.00
6. Income (Loss) from operations $48,000.00 $103,400.00 ($143,500.00)

In addition, you have determined the following information with respect to allocated fixed costs:

1 Cross Training Shoes Golf Shoes Running Shoes
2 Fixed costs:
3 Cost of goods sold $128,500.00 $90,300.00 $120,500.00
4 Selling and administrative expenses 95,900.00 82,400.00 143,500.00

These fixed costs are used to support all three product lines and will not change with the elimination of any one product. In addition, you have determined that the effects of inventory may be ignored. The management of the company has deemed the profit performance of the running shoe line as unacceptable. As a result, it has decided to eliminate the running shoe line. Management does not expect to be able to increase sales in the other two lines. However, as a result of eliminating the running shoe line, management expects the profits of the company to increase by $54,200.


Required:
a. Do you agree with management’s decision and conclusions? Explain your answer. (Note: You may wish to complete part (b), the variable costing income statement, first.)
b. Prepare a variable costing income statement for the three products. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. Be sure to complete the statement heading. A colon (:) will automatically appear if it is required. If a net loss is incurred, enter that amount as a negative number using a minus sign. Enter all other amounts as positive numbers.
c. Use the report in (b) to determine the profit impact of eliminating the running shoe line, assuming no other changes. Use the minus sign to indicate a decline in profit.

The Wiz Co. owes $60 to its bondholders for the payment of principal and interest. The company expects to have a cash flow of $136 if the economy continues as it is but that cash flow will decrease to $54 if the economy enters a recession. Should the company ever face the real possibility of bankruptcy, it will incur legal and other fees of $30. What amount will the bondholders be paid in the case of a recession

Answers

Answer:

$24

Explanation:

Cashflow If economy as it is = $136

Cashflow if economy in recession = $54

In the event that the company goes bankrupt due to the recession, it will have to pay $30 in legal and other costs, so the company will set aside $30.

So, Bondholders payment = Cashflow in recession - legal & other cost

= $54 - $30

= $24

Hence, the bondholders will be paid $24 in the case of a recession.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020.

Debit Income Tax Expense $40400

Debit Defered Tax Asset $7070

Credit Income Tax Payable $19190

Credit Defered tax liability $28280

(To record income tax expense and defered tax/liability).

Note that:

Income Tax Expense was gotten as:

= $202,000 × 20%

= $202000 × 0.2

= $40,4000

Income Tax Payable was gotten as:

= $95,950 × 20%

= $95950 × 0.2

= $19,190

2. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020.

Income statement for year ended 31 December 2020

Income before tax = $202000

Less: Income Tax expense - Current = $19190

Less: Income Tax expense - Defered = $21210

Net income = $161600

Explanation:

Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $73,000, and the result is 5,600 gallons of anderine and 7,600 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $13.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $7.45 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.50 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 2 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $65.
Required:
1. List the relevant benefits and costs for each alternative.
2. Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much?
3. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 500 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing required 20 more purchase orders at $10 each and 15 more quality inspection hours at $25 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1) Compute the revised annual depreciation on each asset in 2015.

The revised annual depreciation for building will be:

= ($806700 - $115410 - $50210)/44

= $64180 / 44

= $14570

The revised annual depreciation for warehouse will be:

= ($114000 - $21940 - $19610) / 15

= $72450 / 15

= $4830

Cameron Industries is purchasing a new chemical vapor depositor in order to make silicon chips. It will cost $7,000,000 to buy the machine and $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Building a clean room in the plant for the machine will cost an additional $3 million. The machine is expected to raise gross profits by $4,500,000 per year, starting at the end of the first year, with associated costs of $1 million for each of those years. The machine is expected to have a working life of seven years and will be depreciated over those seven years. The marginal tax rate is 40%. What are the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0?
A) -$10,020,000
B) -$7,000,000
C) -$9,018,000
D) $1,002,857

Answers

Answer:

A) -$10,020,000

Explanation:

Year 0 cash flow = -(Cost of Machine + Installation Cost + Clean Room Cost)

Year 0 cash flow = -($7,000,000 + $20,000 + $3,000,000)

Year 0 cash flow = -$10,200,000

So, the incremental free cash flows associated with the new machine in year 0 is ($10,200,000).

Monsanto Company, a large chemical and fibers company, invested $37 million in state-of-the-art systems to improve process control, laboratory automation, and local area network (LAN) communications. The investment was not justified merely on cost savings but was also justified on the basis of qualitative considerations. Monsanto management viewed the investment as a critical element toward achieving its version of the future. What qualitative and quantitative considerations do you believe Monsanto would have considered in its strategic evaluation of these investments

Answers

Solution :

The investment which was made by the Monsanto Company had both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspect of the investment represents the strategic evaluation which relates to the investment in order to improve the process control and the laboratory automation. While improving the process control helps in controlling the working process of the machines and the human force which reduces the wastage to a large extent, it also increases the efficiency and it reduces the cost per unit.

The laboratory automation increases the efficiency of working and also increases the production. Strengthening the LAN network improves the organizations' communication and also reduces the unnecessary delays in the work saving cost. Improving the local area network provides qualitative improvement and it speeds up the work thus reducing the wastage of time and promotes effective communication.

Given a reserve requirement of 12.5%, a bank currently meets their reserve requirements with $15,000,000 in excess reserves. If the reserve requirement increases and the bank must hold an additional $1,800,000, by how many percentage points did the reserve requirement increase

Answers

Answer:

1.5%

Explanation:

Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans  

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank  

Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves

Total increase in reserve = $15,000,000 + $1,800,000=  $16,800,000

New excess reserve = total increase in reserve x initial reserve requirement) / initial excess reserve

($16,800,000 x 12.5%) / $15,000,000 = 14%

Increase in reserve requirement = 14% - 12.5% = 1.5%

Answers

Answer:

Product A = 1.50

Product B =  2

Product C =  1.50

Explanation:

Contribution margin = (price - variable cost) /  total number of hours

Product A = ($9 - $6) / 2 = 1.50

Product B = ($14 - $12) / 1 = 2

Product C = ($18 - $15) / 2 = 1.50

Product B would be produced because its contribution margin is the highest

The average issue price per share of preferred stock must have been: _________

Answers

Answer:

$70.00

Explanation:

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = (Preferred stock capital + Contributed capital in excess of par value, Preferred Stock) / Number of shares issues & outstanding

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = ($100,000 + $250,000) / 5,000 shares

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $350,000 / 5,000 shares

Average issue price per share of preferred stock = $70.00

Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?

A) 4,500 ounces

B) 13,575 ounces

C) 13,425 ounces

D) 4,525 ounces

Answer:

Purchases = 13575 ounces

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.

Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit  Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces

Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit

Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces

Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500

Production  =  Opening Inventory  +  Purchases  -  Closing Inventory

13500  =  1350  +  Purchases  -  1425

13500 + 1425 - 1350  =  Purchases

Purchases = 13575 ounces

Charles lives in Houston and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Charles does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.

In 2001, HP acquired Compaq. The merger had an impact on two different markets: desktop PCs and servers. Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC market were as follows: Dell, 13; Compaq, 12; HP, 8; IBM, 6; Gateway, 4. Pre-merger market shares in the servers market were as follows: IBM, 26; Compaq, 16; HP, 14; Dell, 7. Source: Bank of America report, October 2001. Data for 2001Q2.
(a) Determine the value of HHI in each market before the merger.
(b) Assuming market shares of each firm remain constant, determine the value of HHI after the merger.
(c) Considering the values determined above and the DoJ merger guidelines, was the Department of Justice right in allowing the merger to take place?

Answers

Answer:

a) Before the merger   429                   1,177

b) After the merger      621                   1,616

c) Considering the HHI values determined in the various markets above (before and after the merger) and the DoJ merger guidelines, the DoJ seems to be right in allowing the merger to take place with respect to the desktop PC market as the 200 basis point mark was not reached.  This is not the same with respect to the servers market, where the combined value of HP Compaq exceeds the 200 basis point mark.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Pre-merger market shares in the desktop PC and servers markets:

           Desktop PC   Servers

               Market       Market

Dell,            13                 7

Compaq,    12               16

HP,              8                14

IBM,            6               26

Gateway,   4                  0

HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 12² + 8² + 6² + 4²

= 169 + 144 + 64 + 36 + 16

= 429

HHI in the servers market = 7² + 16² + 14² + 26² + 0² =

= 49 + 256 + 196 + 676

= 1,177

After the merger:

                Desktop PC   Servers

                    Market       Market

Dell,                   13                 7

HP Compaq    20               30

IBM,                   6               26

Gateway,          4                  0

HHI in the desktop PC market = 13² + 20² + 6² + 4²

= 169 + 400 + 36 + 16

= 621

HHI in the servers market = 7² + 30² + 26² + 0²

= 40 + 900 + 676

= 1,616

                         

Value of HHI          Desktop PC         Servers

a) Before the merger   429                   1,177

b) After the merger      621                   1,616

Market power of Compaq and HP in the desktop PC market before the merger = 208/429 = 48.5% (144 + 64)/429

Market power of HP Compaq in the desktop PC market after the merger = 400/621 = 64.4%

Increase in basis point (HHI) = 192 (621 = 429)

Market power of Compaq and HP in the servers market before the merger = 452/1,177 = 38.4% (256 + 196)/1,177

Market power of HP Compaq in the servers market after the merger = 900/1,616 = 55.7%

Increase in basis point (HHI) = 439 (1,616 - 1,1177)

Answers

Answer:

b. $612,000

Explanation:

Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $660,000

Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory at base year (2012) prices = $660,000/110*100 = $600,000

The real-dollar quantity increase in inventory = ($600,000 - $480,000) = $120,000

Value of this real dollar quantity increase in inventory at Dec 31, 2013 prices=   $120,000 * 110/100 = $132,000 (LIFO layer to the Dec 31, 2012 inventory)

Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = Dec 31, 2012 inventory + The value of LIFO layer formed

Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $480,000 + $132,000

Value of Dec 31, 2013 inventory = $612,000

Roland, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building companies, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and it uses a job costing system for determining the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by Roland for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home. Roland paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as well as all refinishes and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, Roland generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three builders. Roland has observed that the builders, however, require substantially different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been gathered:Major refinishes Hours on job $70
Touchups Number of visits $180
Communication Number of calls $20
Builder Major Refinishes Touchups Communication
Alpha 80 150 360
Beta 35 110 205

For each of the three independent situations below determine the amount of the annual lease payments. Each describes a finance lease in which annual lease payments are payable at the beginning of each year. Each lease agreement contains an option that permits the lessee to acquire the leased asset at an option price that is sufficiently lower than the expected fair value that the exercise of the option appears reasonably certain.

Situation 1 Situation 2 Situation 3
Lease term (years) 5 10 4
Lessor?s rate of return 10% 11% 9%
Fair value of leased asset $62,000 $421,000 $186,000

Determine the annual lease payments for each situation:

Answers

Answer:

a. The annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.

b. The annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.

c. The annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.

Explanation:

The annual lease payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating loan amortization as follows:

P = (A * (r * (1 + r)^n)) / (((1+r)^n) - 1) .................................... (1)

Where,

For Situation 1

P = Annual lease payments = ?

A = Fair value of leased asset = $62,000

r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 10%, or 0.01

n = Number of years of lease term = 5

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = ($62,000 * (0.01 * (1 + 0.01)^5)) / (((1+0.01)^5) - 1)

P = $12,774.47

Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 1 is $12,774.47.

For Situation 2

P = Annual lease payments = ?

A = Fair value of leased asset = $421,000

r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 11%, or 0.11

n = Number of years of lease term = 10

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = ($421,000 * (0.11 * (1 + 0.11)^10)) / (((1 + 0.11)^10) - 1)

P = $71,486.40

Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 2 is $71,486.40.

For Situation 3

P = Annual lease payments = ?

A = Fair value of leased asset = $186,000

r = interest rate = Lessor’s rate of return = 9%, or 0.09

n = Number of years of lease term = 4

Substituting all the figures into equation (1), we have:

P = ($186,000 * (0.09 * (1 + 0.09)^4)) / (((1 + 0.09)^4) - 1)

P = $57,412.37

Therefore, the annual lease payment for Situation 3 is $57,412.37.

3                                      $75,000                          $675,000

4                                      $50,000                          $725,000

5                                      $25,000                          $750,000

The Cumulative net cash flow of $600,000 is equal to investment cost of $600,000 for 3 years. So, payback period for proposal B is 3 years.

Bonita Industries financed the purchase of a machine by making payments of $29000 at the end of each of five years. The appropriate rate of interest was 8%. The future value of one for five periods at 8% is 1.46933. The future value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 5.86660. The present value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 3.99271. What was the cost of the machine to Bonita?

Answers

Answer:

Cost of Machine today = $115788.59

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of machine to Bonita in today's term, we need to calculate the present value of annuity. We know that the payments made are in form of an ordinary annuity because the amount of payment is fixed (29000) , the payments are made after equal interval of time (at the end of each year) and are made in finite number (5 years).

We will multiply the annuity payment per period by the PV of ordinary annuity factor as provided in the question to calculate the value or price of machine today.

Cost of Machine today = 29000 * 3.99271

Cost of Machine today = $115788.59

What is the primary characteristic that differentials a zero based budget from a conventional budget. A. A zero based budget does not take inflation into account. B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year. C. A zero based budget rolls historical data forward. D. A zero based budget uses a fixed volume growth rate.

Answers

Answer:

B. The zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.

Explanation:

A zero based budget is one that does not take into account historical data when it is considering the present year budget. Each departmental requirement is re-evaluated and a new amount is assigned as budget for the year.

However conventional budgets carryover the previous year's expenses as a base data point. This results in similar budgeting across years.

So the main difference between the two is that zero based budget requires managers to re-justify every planned expenditure every year.

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:
