1.  XYZ Company, a manufacturer of computer peripheries, assembles a particular product line at a wholly owned facility in Singapore. The product is designed at XYZ’s headquarters in the United States, but the different components used in the assembly process are manufactured throughout Asia and shipped to Singapore for final assembly. Some of the components are manufactured in multiple locations, so the customer can actually designate where XYZ should source the components. The final product is assembled in Singapore and then shipped via Emery Freight to customers throughout Asia. XYZ Singapore does not buy any components from the United States, but it invoices all of the components purchased from Asian suppliers in U.S. dollars. In addition, it sells the product to Asian customers in U.S. dollars. However, all of its expenses in Singapore are paid in Singapore dollars. Most of the key marketing decisions are made by the U.S. marketing staff, although the Singapore staff acts as a liaison with Emery Freight personnel and deals with the local workers, most of whom come from Sri Lanka on short-term work visas.

     XYZ prefers to translate the results of their Singapore subsidiary into dollars using the current rate method. What is the advantage to XYZ of using the current rate method? As their auditor, what do you think of their decision? If their decision is wrong and they should be using the temporal method, is it possible for them to change?

Process Co has two divisions, A and B. Division A produces three types of chemicals: products L, M and S, using a common process. Each of the products can either be sold by Division A to the external market at split-off point (after the common process is complete) or can be transferred to Division B for individual further processing into products LX, MX and SX.

In November 20X1, which is a typical month, Division A’s output was as follows:

Product             Kg

     L               1,200

     M              1,400

     S               1,800

The market selling prices per kg for the products, both at split-off point and after further processing, are as follows:

                         $                            $

     L               5.60        LX            6.70

     M              6.50        MX           7.90

     S               6.10        SX           6.80

The specific costs for each of the individual further processes are:

Variable cost of $0.50 per kg of LX

Variable cost of $0.70 per kg of MX

Variable cost of $0.80 per kg of SX

Further processing leads to a normal loss of 5% at the beginning of the process for each of the products being processed.

Required

  1. Calculate and conclude whether any of the products should be further processed in Division B in order to optimise the profit for the company as a whole.

It has been suggested that Division A should transfer products L and M to Division B for further processing, in order to optimise the profit of the company as a whole. Divisions A and B are both investment centres and all transfers from Division A to Division B would be made using the actual marginal cost. As a result, if Division A were to make the transfers as suggested, their divisional profits would be much lower than if it were to sell both products externally at split-off point. Division B’s profits, however, would be much higher.

Required

       (b) Discuss the issues arising from this suggested approach to transfer pricing.

On March 31, 2018, the Herzog Company purchased a factory complete with machinery and equipment. The allocation of the total purchase price of $960,000 to the various types of assets along with estimated useful lives and residual values are as follows:

Asset Cost Estimated Residual Value Estimated Useful
Life in Years
Land $ 120,000 N/A N/A
Building 460,000 none 25
Machinery 260,000 10% of cost 6
Equipment 120,000 $ 15,000 5
Total $ 960,000


On June 29, 2019, machinery included in the March 31, 2018, purchase that cost $96,000 was sold for $76,000. Herzog uses the straight-line depreciation method for buildings and machinery and the sum-of-the-years'-digits method for equipment. Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months an asset is in service.

Required:

1. Compute depreciation expense on the building, machinery, and equipment for 2018.
2. Prepare the journal entries to record the depreciation on the machinery sold on June 29, 2019, and the sale of machinery.
3. Compute depreciation expense on the building, remaining machinery, and equipment for 2019.
