Effect of Proposals on Divisional Performance A condensed income statement for the Electronics Division of Gihbli...

Effect of Proposals on Divisional Performance A condensed income statement for the Electronics Division of Gihbli Industries Inc. for the year ended December 31, 20Y9, is as follows: Sales $1,575,000 Cost of goods sold 891,000 Gross profit $684,000 Operating expenses 558,000 Income from operations $126,000 Invested assets $1,050,000 Assume that the Electronics Division received no charges from service departments. The president of Gihbli Industries Inc. has indicated that the division's return on a $1,050,000 investment must be increased to at least 20% by the end of the next year if operations are to continue. The division manager is considering the following three proposals: Proposal 1: Transfer equipment with a book value of $300,000 to other divisions at no gain or loss and lease similar equipment. The annual lease payments would be less than the amount of depreciation expense on the old equipment by $31,400. This decrease in expense would be included as part of the cost of goods sold. Sales would remain unchanged. Proposal 2: Reduce invested assets by discontinuing a product line. This action would eliminate sales of $180,000, reduce cost of goods sold by $119,550, and reduce operating expenses by $60,000. Assets of $112,500 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss. Proposal 3: Purchase new and more efficient machinery and thereby reduce the cost of goods sold by $189,000 after considering the effects of depreciation expense on the new equipment. Sales would remain unchanged, and the old machinery, which has no remaining book value, would be scrapped at no gain or loss. The new machinery would increase invested assets by $918,750 for the year. Required: 1. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for the Electronics Division for the past year. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. Electronics Division Profit margin 8.00 % Investment turnover 1.50 ROI 12 % Feedback 1. Income from operations divided by sales equals profit margin. Sales divided by invested assets equals investment turnover. Multiply these two values for the rate of return on investment. Learning Objective 4. 2. Prepare condensed estimated income statements and compute the invested assets for each proposal. Gihbli Industries Inc.-Electronics Division Estimated Income Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y9 Proposal 1 Proposal 2 Proposal 3 Sales $ 1,575,000 $ 1,395,000 $ 1,575,000 Cost of goods sold 859,600 771,450 702,000 Gross profit $ 715,400 $ 623,550 $ 873,000 Operating expenses 558,000 498,000 558,000 Income from operations $ 157,400 $ 125,550 $ 315,000 Invested assets $ 750,000 $ 937,500 $ 1,968,750 Feedback 2. For each proposal, subtract operating expenses from gross profit. Learning Objective 4. 3. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for each proposal. Round investment turnover and percentages to one decimal place. Proposal Profit margin Investment turnover ROI Proposal 1 % 2.10 % Proposal 2 9.00 % % Proposal 3 20.00 % 0.80 16.00 % 4. Which of the three proposals would meet the required 20% rate of return on investment? Proposal 1 Meets Proposal 2 Does not meet Proposal 3 Does not meet 5. If the Electronics Division were in an industry where the profit margin could not be increased, how much would the investment turnover have to increase to meet the president's required 20% rate of return on investment? Enter your increase in investment turnover answer as a percentage of current investment turnover. Round interim calculations (including previously calculated) and final answer to one decimal place. 66.7 %

Use ILAC Format to answer please.

-----

Susan and Henry began carrying on a restaurant business in partnership in June 2016. In July 2016 they employed Isabella to manage the restaurant during the day. Susan and Henry work together in the evenings. Isabella made a great success of her part in the business and, as from September 2016, Susan and Henry decided she should be a salaried partner.

Susan and Henry went for a week’s holiday in the quiet time during January 2017 and during that time Isabella purchased an additional coffee machine for $7,000. Upon questioning, Isabella told Susan and Henry that she had ordered the coffee machine from Donald, one of their authorised suppliers, in order to keep up with customer demand when she was managing the restaurant. Susan and Henry then reminded Isabella that her authority to purchase items on behalf of the firm is limited to $1,000. Susan and Henry informed Donald that they are not responsible for the account. Donald is still disputing this, maintaining that Isabella informed him when placing the order that she was a partner in the firm and that she was purchasing the machine on behalf of the firm.

Susan resigned from the partnership in March 2018 when she discovered Henry was spending a lot of time with Isabella. Since her resignation, Susan has received a claim for payment for $12,532 from Frank. Frank is a long-term supplier of fruit and vegetables to the firm. His claim for payment relates to supplies made during the period 30 May 2018 to 31 July 2018.


YOU ARE REQUIRED to advise Susan of her legal position with respect to the issues arising from the above situation

The monthly budget amounts in the report were based on an expected production of 60,000 units per month or 720,000 units per year. The Assembling Department manager is pleased with the report and expects a raise, or at least praise for a job well done. The company president, however, is unhappy with the results for August because only 58,000 units were produced.

Instructions

a)  

Prepare a budget report for August using flexible budget data.

(b)  

In September, 64,000 units were produced. Prepare the budget report using flexible budget data, assuming (1) each variable cost was 10% higher than its actual cost in August, and (2) fixed costs were the same in September as in August.
