Question 2 - 1,500 words


The Senior Partner of the firm you work for has appointed you to a new role. It is now your responsibility to review upcoming accounting standards and provide a report to the partners on the proposed standard and the opinions of other industry players on the changes. 


Firstly, you are required to find a current exposure draft or proposal for a new accounting standard which has been opened for public comments. (These can be found on the websites of most standard-setting organisations, such as the IASB, AASB and FASB. Hint: These websites can be quite difficult to navigate, so as a first step try typing “IASB exposure draft and comment letters”/”FASB exposure draft and comment letters” into Google or other search engine of your choice). Read a sample of the comments from a range of respondents. Select four respondents, ideally from different types of organisations for example, from accounting bodies, industry, companies or corporate bodies. If you are having a problem finding suitable comments letters then contact your subject coordinator.


 


In your own words, supporting your evaluation with appropriate citations, appropriately referenced in APA 6 style, you are required to include the following information in the report.


An outline of the major issues covered in the exposure draft (what is the exposure draft introducing or changing?).


An assessment as to whether (or not) the behaviour of the regulator in introducing the exposure draft can be explained by public interest theory.


An outline of the views presented in the comments letters which highlights the areas of agreement and disagreement with the exposure draft.


An application of each of the theories of regulation (public interest, private interest and capture) to the comments letters and a justification as to which theory(ies) best explains the comments.


 


Please note: you need to attach the comment letters you selected for your report (there is no need to attach the exposure draft)

Nautical Creations is one of the largest producers of miniature ships in a bottle. An especially complex part of one of the ships needs special production equipment that is not useful for other products. The company purchased this equipment early in 2016 for $200,000. It is now early in 2020, and the manager of the Model Ships Division, Jeri Finley, is thinking about purchasing new equipment to make this part. The current equipment will last for four more years with zero disposal value at that time. It can be sold immediately for $40,000. The following are last year's total manufacturing costs, when production was 8,600 ships:

Direct materials $30,960
Direct labor 32,680
Variable overhead 15,480
Fixed overhead 37,840
Total $116,960

The cost of the new equipment is $140,000. It has a four year useful life with an estimated disposal value at that time of $35,000. The sales representative selling the new equipment stated, "The new equipment will allow direct labor and variable overhead combined to be reduced by a total of $2.20 per unit." Finley thinks this estimate is accurate, but also knows that a higher quality of direct material will be necessary with the new equipment, costing $0.17 more per unit. Fixed overhead costs will increase by $4,700.

Finley expects production to be 9,150 ships in each of the next four years. Assume a discount rate of 3%.

REQUIRED
1. What is the difference in net present values if Nautical Creations buys the new equipment instead of keeping their current equipment?

On January 2, 2015, the S. H. Park Company (Park) installed a new $84,000 special molding machine for producing a new product. The product and the machine have an expected life of three years. The machines expected disposal value (amount machine can be sold for) at the end of three years is zero. S. H. Park Company paid cash when the equipment was delivered. Park paid for this machinery via bank transfer. On January 3, 2015, Kimiyo Lee, a salesperson for BT Machine and Tool (BT), tells Park: “I wish I had known earlier of your purchase plans. I can supply you with a technically superior machine for $99,000. Lee indicated the machine just purchased can be sold for $16,000. Lee guaranteed that there machine will save S. H. Park $35,000 per year in cash operating costs. This machine will have no disposal value at the end of three years.” Assume all costs are cost of sales. Park examines some technical data. Park is confident of Lee’s claims. However, Park contends, “I’m locked in now. My alternatives are clear: (a) disposal will result in a loss, (b) keeping and using the ‘old’ equipment avoids such a loss. I have brains enough to avoid a loss when my other alternative is recognizing a loss. We’ve got to use that equipment until we get our money out of it.” The annual operating costs of the old machine are $60,000 all paid in cash. This does not include depreciation. The new machine operating costs will be $25,000 which will be paid in cash. Sales, all in cash, are projected to be $850,000 per year. Annual cash expenses related to sales are $350,000 for material, $250,000 for labor and $150,000 for other operating expenses regardless of this decision. Assume that the equipment in question is the company’s only fixed asset. Ignore income taxes and the time value of money. Any cash payments for the machines occurred in 2015 coinciding with the purchase of the equipment. Should Park dispose of the “old-old” machine (stay the course) or should Park acquire new machine’s (New-New) from Lee? Using the template, prepare income statements as they would appear in each of the next three years under both alternatives. Assume straight-line depreciation over a three year period. What is the cumulative increase or decrease in net income for the three years for each alternative? Prepare statements of cash receipts and disbursements as they would appear in each of the next three years under both alternatives. Assume straight-line depreciation over a three year period. What is the total cumulative increase or decrease in cash for the three years for each alternative? If you were the sales person (Kimiyo Lee), how would respond to Mr. Park so as to get him to purchase your product? Using the provided information, if possible, prepare an alternative analysis which provides a similar result. Regardless of the financial analysis, what factors which effect or influence the decision to replace the equipment or stay with old (new) machine
