Finch Boot Co. sells men’s, women’s, and children’s boots. For each type of boot sold, it operates a separate department that has its own manager. The manager of the men’s department has a sales staff of nine employees, the manager of the women’s department has six employees, and the manager of the children’s department has three employees. All departments are housed in a single store. In recent years, the children’s department has operated at a net loss and is expected to continue to do so. Last year’s income statements follow:

Men’s Department Women’s Department Children’s Department
Sales $ 660,000 $ 480,000 $ 170,000
Cost of goods sold (268,500 ) (178,800 ) (99,875 )
Gross margin 391,500 301,200 70,125
Department manager’s salary (58,000 ) (47,000 ) (27,000 )
Sales commissions (112,200 ) (81,600 ) (30,900 )
Rent on store lease (27,000 ) (27,000 ) (27,000 )
Store utilities (10,000 ) (10,000 ) (10,000 )
Net income (loss) $ 184,300 $ 135,600 $ (24,775 )

Required

  1. a. Calculate the contribution margin. Determine whether to eliminate the children’s department.

  2. b-1. Calculate the net income for the company as a whole with the children's department.

  3. b-2. Confirm the conclusion you reached in Requirement a by preparing income statements for the company without the children’s department.

  4. c. Eliminating the children’s department would increase space available to display men’s and women’s boots. Suppose management estimates that a wider selection of adult boots would increase the store’s net earnings by $38,000. Would this information affect the decision that you made in Requirement a?

On January 1, 2018, Sans Serif Publishers leased printing equipment from First Lease Corp. First LeaseCorp purchased the equipment from Compudec Corporation at a cost of $479,079.

The lease agreement specifies six annual payments of $92,931 beginning 1/1/18, the beginning of the lease, and at December 31 from 2018 through 2022. On December 31, 2023, at the end of the 6 year lease, and at the end of the six-year lease term, the equipment is expected to be worth $75,000, and San Serif has the option to purchase it for $60,000 on that date. The residual value after 7 years is zero. First LeaseCorp routinely acquires electronic equipment for lease to other firms. The interest rate in these financing arrangements is 10%.  

Exercise of Purchase Option (12/31/23)

Sans Serif Publishers (Lessee) Dr. Interest Expense (10% * $54,542) $5,458

Dr. Lease Payable (difference) $54,542  

Cr. Cash $60,000

CompuDec Corporation (Lessor)

Dr. Cash (exercise price) $60,000

Cr. Lease Receivable (account balance) $54,542

Cr. Interest revenue (10% * outstanding balance) $5,458

($54,542 is the balance of lease payable after all periodic lease payments have been made)

Since the lessee takes the BPO at the end of the lease, from the lessor's point of view, how come the journal doesn't have a debit entry saying "cash $60,000" and the lessor having a credit journal entry saying "equipment $60,000). This question comes from page 859 and 860 illustrations 15-14 and 15-14A in the Intermediate Accounting 9th edition by the authors Spiceland, Nelson, and Thomas.

Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows:

Decreased waste $300,000
Increased quality 400,000
Decrease in operating costs 600,000
Increase in on-time deliveries 200,000

The system will cost $9,000,000 and last 10 years. The company’s cost of capital is 12 percent.

The present value tables provided in Exhibit 19B.1 and Exhibit 19B.2 must be used to solve the following problems.

Required:

1. Calculate the payback period for the system.
years

Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired?
No

2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Round your IRR answers to the nearest whole percentage value (for example, 15.6% rounds to 16% and should be entered as "16" in the answer box). If the NPV is negative, enter your answer as a negative value.

NPV: $
IRR: Between % and %

Should the system be purchased—even if it does not meet the payback criterion?
Yes

3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of $1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of $300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Round your IRR answers to the nearest whole percentage value (for example, 15.6% rounds to 16% and should be entered as "16" in the answer box). If the NPV is negative, enter your answer as a negative value.

Payback period: years
NPV: $
IRR: Between % and %

Does the decision change?
Yes

Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does the salvage value have any real bearing on the company's decision?
No - in this case the decrease in salvage value is not enough to change the decision

The following problem is an example of typical transactions that a not-for-profit college or university might have.  Use the information in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to help you answer the requirements of the problem.

Beatty College, a not-for-profit college, engaged in the following transactions during its fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.         

Requirements:  Prepare appropriate journal entries, indicating the types of funds (by restrictiveness) in which they would be recorded.

Transactions:

               1. In May 2015 Beatty College collected $100,000,000 in student tuition.  Of this amount              $10,000,000 was applicable to the summer semester, which ran from June1 to August 30, 2015,              and $1,000,000 was applicable to the fall semester that began September, 2015.

               2. Beatty College received a contribution of $1,000,000 in stocks and bonds to establish an       endowed chair in accounting.  Income from the chair endowment must be used to supplement        the salary of a professor accounting.

               3. During 2015, the accounting chair endowment earned interest and dividends of $50,000 all of    which was used to supplement the salary of the chair of the accounting department.  (Note:        a. record the investment earnings and b. record cash paid for the chair’s salary.)  Use the same      $50,000 for both entries.

               4. The fair value of the investment of the accounting chair endowment declined by $80,000.

               5. Using funds restricted for this purpose, the college purchased $150,000 of equipment for the          college athletics department.

               6. Beatty College recorded depreciation of $30,000.

               7. The annual alumni campaign yielded $1,800,000 in pledges.  The college estimated that 2% would be uncollectible.  During the year, Beatty college collected $1,500,000 on the pledges.

Feather Friends, Inc., distributes a high-quality wooden birdhouse that sells for $120 per unit. Variable expenses are $60.00 per unit, and fixed expenses total $200,000 per year. Its operating results for last year were as follows:

Sales $ 3,360,000

Variable expenses 1,680,000

Contribution margin 1,680,000

Fixed expenses 200,000

Net operating income $ 1,480,000

Required: Answer each question independently based on the original data:

1. What is the product's CM ratio? 2. Use the CM ratio to determine the break-even point in dollar sales. 3. If this year's sales increase by $51,000 and fixed expenses do not change, how much will net operating income increase? 4-a. What is the degree of operating leverage based on last year's sales? 4-b. Assume the president expects this year's sales to increase by 15%. Using the degree of operating leverage from last year, what percentage increase in net operating income will the company realize this year? 5. The sales manager is convinced that a 11% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $60,000 increase in advertising, would increase this year's unit sales by 25%. a. If the sales manager is right, what would be this year's net operating income if his ideas are implemented? b. If the sales manager's ideas are implemented, how much will net operating income increase or decrease over last year? 6. The president does not want to change the selling price. Instead, he wants to increase the sales commission by $1.70 per unit. He thinks that this move, combined with some increase in advertising, would increase this year's sales by 25%. How much could the president increase this year's advertising expense and still earn the same $1,480,000 net operating income as last year?
