Eximco Corporation (based in Champaign, Illinois) has a number of transactions with companies in the country of Mongagua, where the currency is the mong. On November 30, 2017, Eximco sold equipment at a price of 500,000 mongs to a Mongaguan customer that will make payment on January 31, 2018. In addition, on November 30, 2017, Eximco purchased raw materials from a Mongaguan supplier at a price of 300,000 mongs; it will make payment on January 31, 2018. To hedge its net exposure in mongs, Eximco entered into a two-month forward contract on November 30, 2017, to deliver 200,000 mongs to the foreign currency broker in exchange for $104,000. Eximco properly designates its forward contract as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency receivable. The following rates for the mong apply:

Date Spot Rate Forward Rate (to January 31, 2018)

November 30, 2017 $ 0.53 $ 0.52

December 31, 2017 0.50 0.48

January 31, 2018 0.49 N/A

Eximco's incremental borrowing rate is 12 percent. The present value factor for one month at an annual interest rate of 12 percent (1 percent per month) is 0.9901.

a. Prepare all journal entries, including December 31 adjusting entries, to record these transactions and the forward contract.

b. What is the impact on net income in 2017?

c. What is the impact on net income in 2018?

Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,100,000 marks on March 15, 2018. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,100,000 marks on December 15, 2017. Leickner selects a strike price of $0.81 per mark, paying a premium of $0.002 per unit, when the spot rate is $0.81. The spot rate increases to $0.817 at December 31, 2017, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $9,000. By March 15, 2018, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.83, resulting in a fair value for the option of $22,000.

a. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials, assuming that December 31 is Leickner's year-end and that the raw materials are included in the cost of goods sold in 2018.

b. What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods?

c. What is the net cash outflow to acquire the raw materials

On January 1, 20X7, Pepper Company acquired 90 percent of the outstanding common stock of Salt Corporation for $1,242,000. On that date, the fair value of noncontrolling interest was equal to $138,000. The entire differential was related to land held by Salt. At the date of acquisition, Salt had common stock outstanding of $520,000, additional paid-in capital of $200,000, and retained earnings of $540,000. During 20X7, Salt sold inventory to Pepper for $440,000. The inventory originally cost Salt $360,000. By year-end, 30 percent was still in Pepper's ending inventory. During 20X8, the remaining inventory was resold to an unrelated customer. Both Pepper and Salt use perpetual inventory systems.

Major Mills is a large manufacturer of breakfast cereal. One of its most popular products is Sugar-Bombs, which sells at wholesale for $55/case.  
The cost to produce is $42.20 per case, as follows: Ingredients, $8.70; Packaging, $4.10; Direct Labor, $3.40; Overhead, $26 (20% variable).
A large grocery retailer has approached Major Mills with a proposal to create a house-brand version of Sugar-Bombs.
The retailer offers to purchase 10,000 cases per month of the house brand for one year, after which the contract could be renewed. The retailer will purchase the house brand for $33/case.
A slight change in the recipe would reduce ingredients cost by 30 cents per case. Packaging cost would increase by 12 cents per case because of a new ink required.  
There would be an initial annual setup cost of $18,000. Because Major Mills has excess capacity of only 9,000 cases per month on the production line, they would lose 1,000 cases per month of sales of Sugar-Bombs.
a) Would accepting the retailer's offer be profitable for Major Mills?
b) What other factors should Major Mills consider in deciding whether to accept this offer?

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 120,000...

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 120,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $50 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

Direct materials $ 8.50
Direct labor 11.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 3.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5.00 ($600,000 total)
Variable selling expenses 3.70
Fixed selling expenses 5.50 ($660,000 total)
Total cost per unit $ 37.00

A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent.

Required:

1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 156,000 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 30% above the present 120,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $110,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $110,000 in fixed selling expenses?

1-b. Would the additional investment be justified?

2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 156,000 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 36,000 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $3.70 per unit and an additional $18,000 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $2.10 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order?

3. The company has 800 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price?

4. Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 40% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period.

a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months?

b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months?

c. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant for the two-month period?

d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months?

5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 120,000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. What is Andretti’s avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?
