Portsmouth Company makes upholstered furniture. Its only variable cost is direct materials. The demand for the company's products far exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The bottleneck (or constriant) in the production process is upholstery labor-hours. Information concerning three of Portsmouth's upholstered chairs appears below: Recliner Sofa Love Seat Selling price per unit $ 1,400 $ 1,800 $ 1,500 Variable cost per unit $ 800 $ 1,200 $ 1,000 Upholstery labor-hours per unit 8 hours 10 hours 5 hours Required: 1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers additional compensation to work overtime. Assuming that this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours? 2. A small nearby upholstering company has offered to upholster furniture for Portsmouth at a price of $45 per hour. The management of Portsmouth is confident that this upholstering company’s work is high quality and their craftsmen can work as quickly as Portsmouth’s own craftsmen on the simpler upholstering jobs such as the Love Seat. How much additional contribution margin per hour can Portsmouth earn if it provides the raw materials to the nearby company and then hires it to upholster the Love Seats? 3. Should Portsmouth hire the nearby upholstering company?

Jason, a 55-year-old corporate executive, wants advice as to when he can retire. His current salary is

$240,000 and he receives an annual bonus of $300,000; he also has annual stock options and restricted

stock awards valued at $100,000. His employer contributes to a cash balance pension plan as and

matches his contributions to a 401(k). Jason’s Roth IRA has a balance of $240,000. The Roth IRA’s

balance consists of the $100,000 conversion Jason made 3 years ago Jason from an old qualified plan

and $50,000 of contributions (he has paid into over the years since it’s establishment many years ago),

the rest is earnings. Jason, owns a whole life insurance policy with a $500,000 death benefit and is

considering the purchase of a term policy with a $2,000,000 death benefit. He and his wife, Brenda, also

age 55, believe they can live on an after-tax income of $180,000. Assume a federal income tax rate of

35%.

Jason and Brenda come to you because their neighbor has been telling them he must take a certain

amount of his account or he will be tax and penalized 50% on the missed distribution. They are very

concerned because they do not want to incur a 50% penalty.

You explain the mechanics of RMD calculations to them. Then they ask you what their RMD would be at

age 70.

1.

Assuming that Brenda dies in 23 years and that Jason survives her, which of the following

options is correct regarding required minimum distributions from her IRA

?

A. Jason may postpone distributions from Brenda’s IRA until she would have been 70 ½

and the he must take distributions from the IRA over his life expectancy.

B. Jason may postpone distributions from Brenda’s IRA until she would have been 70 ½

and then he must take distributions from the IRA over no more than five years.

C. Jason must begin taking distributions by the end of the year following the year of

Brenda’s death

D. Jason must begin taking distributions by the end of the year of Brenda’s death.

2. Time passes and Jason dies, widowing Brenda at age 53. She comes to you for help deciding

between taking a lump-sum distribution from her husband’s pension plan of $263,500 now or

selecting a life annuity starting when she is age 65 (life expectancy at 65 is 21 years) of $2,479/

month. Current 30yr treasuries are yielding 6 percent annually.

What would you advise her

:

1. If she takes the lump-sum distribution, she will receive $263,500 in cash now and be

able to reinvest for 34yrs, creating an annuity of $4,570/mo.

2. If she takes the lump-sum distribution she will be subject to the 10% early withdrawal

penalty.

A. 1 only

B. 2 only

C. Both 1 & 2

D. Neither 1 nor 2

3 Jason and Brenda are in your office completing their annual review. They tell you they took a

$130,000 distribution from Jason’s Roth IRA in May of this year to go on a dream vacation, make car

repairs and to help their granddaughter pay for school tuition.

They have asked you if there would be any tax or penalty owed on the distribution. What do you

advise them?

A. There would be no tax due and no penalty

B. The entire distribution would be taxed at their ordinary income tax bracket and there

would be a 10% early withdraw penalty

C. $50,000 would be taxed at ordinary income tax levels

D. There would be no tax due, but a penalty of $8,000

4

Brenda wants to contribute to her existing IRA account. What do you advise her?

A. She may contribute to the IRA and deduct her contribution

B. She may not contribute to the IRA because she is an active plan participant

C. She may contribute to the IRA but may not deduct the contribution

D. She may not contribute to the IRA because her earnings are too high

At 30 June 2015, the financial statements of McMaster Ltd showed a building with a cost (net of GST) of $312,000 and accumulated depreciation of $158,000. The business uses the straight-line method to depreciate the building. When acquired, the building's useful life was estimated at 30 years and its residual value at $62,000. On 1 January 2016, McMaster Ltd made structural improvements to the building costing $98,000 (net of GST). Although the capacity of the building was unchanged, it is estimated that the improvements will extend the useful life of the building to 40 years, rather than the 30 years originally estimated. No change is expected in the residual value.

1. Calculate the number of years the building had been depreciated to 30 June 2015
2. Prepare the general journal entry to record the cost of the structural improvements on 1 January 2016
3. Prepare the general journal entry to record the building’s depreciation expense for the year ended 30 June 2016. Assume no depreciation had been recorded since 30 June 2018.

As part of an effort to increase cash and reduce the cash cycle, the connections between the AP and AR processes are often scrutinized to see if the company is fully billing what it is entitled to bill … to this end, folks sometimes ask about "unbilled" and how long that "unbilled" has remained in that state … is number for "unbilled" best derived from what has been declared as revenue under 606 but not yet billed or as what has been billed out to vendors if vendors are involved in the performance?

Mastery Problem: Budgeting

LearnCo

LearnCo manufactures and sells one product, an abacus for classroom use, with two models, the Basic model and the Deluxe model. The company began operations on January 1, 20Y1, and is planning for 20Y2, its second year of operations, by preparing budgets from its master budget.

The company is trying to decide how many units to manufacture, how much it might spend on direct materials and direct labor, and what their factory overhead expenses might be. In addition, the company is interested in budgeting for selling and administrative costs, and in creating a budgeted income statement showing a prediction of net income for 20Y2.

You have been asked to assist the controller of LearnCo in preparing the 20Y2 budgets.

Sales Budget

The sales budget often uses the prior year’s sales as a starting point, and then sales quantities are revised for various factors such as planned advertising and promotion, projected pricing changes, and expected industry and general economic conditions. LearnCo has completed reviewing its prior year’s sales and has prepared the following sales budget.

After reviewing LearnCo’s sales budget, you note that three numbers have been omitted. The company’s controller has told you that the units sold for the Basic and Deluxe models are expected to be the same. Fill in the missing amounts.

Production Budget

The production budget should be integrated with the sales budget to ensure that production and sales are kept in balance during the year. The production budget estimates the number of units to be manufactured to meet budgeted sales and desired inventory levels.

You note that LearnCo has omitted six numbers from the following production budget and fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the sales budget you prepared.

Direct Materials Purchases Budget

The direct materials purchases budget should be integrated with the production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted during the year.

Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information on the following Direct Materials Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget. After scanning the direct materials purchases budget (which follows the Direct Materials Data Table), you observe that LearnCo has omitted quite a few numbers from the budget. Fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the Direct Materials Data Table, or from the sales budget and production budget you prepared. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Direct Labor Cost Budget

Direct labor needs from the direct labor cost budget should be coordinated between the production and personnel departments so that there will be enough labor available for production.

Before you make any changes to the budget, you review the information on the following Direct Labor Data Table and enter the units to be produced from the Production Budget. After scanning the Direct Labor Cost Budget (which follows the Direct Labor Data Table), you observe that LearnCo has omitted quite a few numbers from the budget. Fill in the missing amounts. You may need to use numbers from the Direct Labor Data Table, or from the sales budget, production budget, and direct materials purchase budget you prepared. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Factory Overhead Cost Budget

The factory overhead cost budget should be integrated with the production budget to ensure that production is not interrupted during the year. This budget may be supported by departmental schedules, which normally separate factory overhead costs into fixed and variable costs so that department managers may monitor and evaluate costs during the year. For simplicity, LearnCo has not separated costs in this manner.

After reviewing the following factory overhead cost budget, you note that LearnCo has completed the budget with the exception of one amount. Fill in the missing amount.
