“I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line,” said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. “But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown.”
Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below:
Sales | $ | 22,045,000 |
Variable expenses | 13,882,000 | |
Contribution margin | 8,163,000 | |
Fixed expenses | 6,070,000 | |
Net operating income | $ | 2,093,000 |
Divisional average operating assets | $ | 5,500,000 |
The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 16.00% this year (considering all divisions). Next year the Office Products Division has an opportunity to add a new product line that would require an additional investment that would increase average operating assets by $2,501,500. The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:
Sales | $9,500,000 |
Variable expenses | 65% of sales |
Fixed expenses | $2,574,100 |
Required:
1. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for this year.
2. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for the new product line by itself.
3. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.
4. If you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?
5. Why do you suppose headquarters is anxious for the Office Products Division to add the new product line?
6. Suppose that the company’s minimum required rate of return on operating assets is 13% and that performance is evaluated using residual income.
a. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for this year.
b. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for the new product line by itself.
c. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.
d. Using the residual income approach, if you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?

Mr. Bailey has approached you regarding an opportunity he has to become a homeowner. Mr. Bailey has asked you to perform a financial analysis to determine if this would be a wise move to purchase the new condominium, or if he should continue to rent. You will create an Excel spreadsheet and a written Word document to explain the results for Mr. Bailey.
Currently he rents a downtown condominium for $2500 per month. A neighboring unit has recently gone onto the market for $500,000. Mr. Bailey feels that this would make a great investment for him and it would make sense to stop renting and purchase this unit. Mr. Bailey can put down 20% on the new unit. He will assume a 30-year mortgage for the condominium with a 6% APR. Mr. Bailey plans to remain in the condominium for 5 years and then sell and move to suburban Berkshire Farms.
Financial Details
If Mr. Bailey purchases the condo, he will have additional monthly
fees of:
$1000 HOA fee (maintenance, pool, health club)
$300 property taxes
$100 repairs
You have reviewed real estate trends and have determined that over 5 years the condo will appreciate approximately 3% per year. When he sells the condo, you estimate that he will pay 5% in commission and an additional $2,000 in closing costs.
Excel Spreadsheet:
Word Document:
In a professional 3- 5 page written analysis explain the results of your findings for Mr. Bailey. Provide a detailed written explanation of your calculations for the present value of the proceeds if he were to sell the property in 5 years. In addition, provide an explanation of the importance of the time value of money and the key decisions to be made in this buy versus rent decision. You should also include qualitative decisions to consider in this scenario for Mr. Bailey (e.g. what are some factors which influence this buy versus rent decision which should be considered).

Exercise 14-29 Reporting bonds at fair value [LO14-6]
Federal Semiconductors issued 12% bonds, dated January 1, with a
face amount of $840 million on January 1, 2018. The bonds sold for
$780,588,787 and mature on December 31, 2037 (20 years). For bonds
of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 13%. Interest is
paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines
interest at the effective rate. Federal elected the option to
report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2018, the
fair value of the bonds was $760 million as determined by their
market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value
of the bonds on December 31, 2019 had risen to $766 million.
Required:
Complete the below table to record the following journal
entries.
1. & 2. Prepare the journal entry to adjust
the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31,
2018, balance sheet, and adjust the bonds to their fair value for
presentation in the December 31, 2019, balance sheet. Federal
determined that one-half of the increase in fair value was due to a
decline in general interest rates.
Complete the below table to record the following journal entries. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round final answers to the nearest whole dollars.)

As a newly hired management accountant, you have been asked to prepare a profit plan for the company for which you work. As part of this task, you’ve been asked to do some what-if analyses. Following is the budgeted information regarding the coming year:
Selling price per unit | $ | 100.00 | |
Variable cost per unit | 70.00 | ||
Fixed costs (per year) | 1,200,000 | ||
Required:
1. What is the breakeven volume, in units and dollars, for the coming year?
2. Assume that the goal of the company is to earn a pretax (operating) profit of $300,000 for the coming year. How many units would the company have to sell to achieve this goal?
3. Assume that of the $70 variable cost per unit the labor-cost component is $25. Current negotiations with the employees of the company indicate some uncertainty regarding the labor cost component of the variable cost figure presented above. What is the effect on the breakeven point in units if selling price and fixed costs are as planned, but the labor cost for the coming year is 4% higher than anticipated? What if labor costs are 6% higher than anticipated? What if labor costs turn out to be 8% higher than anticipated?
4. Assume now that management is convinced that labor costs will be 5% higher than originally planned when the budget for the year was put together. What selling price per unit must the company charge to maintain the budgeted ratio of contribution margin to sales? (Hint: Use the Goal Seek function in Excel to answer this question.)

In Chapter 7, we discussed the differences between preventive, detective, and corrective controls. Chapters 8-10 offer specific types of controls within those categories over information security, confidentiality, privacy, processing integrity, and availability.
Think about controls that you have encountered in your own life (personal, professional, within organizational memberships, etc.). Note that at the time, you may or may not have realized that the answer to “why is this done?” was that a control was being implemented: a control over operations, reporting, and/or compliance.
