Kansas Instruments manufactures two models of pocket calculators. Per unit of the Basic model sells for $5.50, has direct material cost of $1.25 and requires 0.25 hours of labour to produce. Each calculator of the Scientist model sells for $7.50, has direct material cost of $1.63 and takes 0.375 hours to produce.

Each labour hour costs Kansas Instruments $6 and labour is currently very scarce, even though the demand for the company’s calculators is very high. The company is currently producing 8,000 Basic calculators and 4,000 Scientist calculators each month. Fixed costs per month amount to $24,000.

Kansas Instruments has received a request from an overseas potential customer to manufacture a batch of calculators made to specific requirements. The overseas customer is offering the company a contract worth $35,000 for this order. The production manager has estimated the following facts with respect to this special order:

• The labour time required for this contract would be 1,200 hours.
• The material cost would be $9,000 (excluding the cost of a special component not normally used by the company for manufacturing its regular calculators).
• The special components could either be purchased from a supplier for $2,500 or produced internally using materials that would cost $1,000 and additional labour time of 150 hours.

Required:

Advise the management of Kansas Instruments on the appropriate course of action.

On January 1, 2016, when its $30 par value common stock was selling for $80 per share, Metlock Corp. issued $11,700,000 of 8% convertible debentures due in 20 years. The conversion option allowed the holder of each $1,000 bond to convert the bond into five shares of the corporation’s common stock. The debentures were issued for $12,636,000. The present value of the bond payments at the time of issuance was $9,945,000, and the corporation believes the difference between the present value and the amount paid is attributable to the conversion feature. On January 1, 2017, the corporation’s $30 par value common stock was split 2 for 1, and the conversion rate for the bonds was adjusted accordingly. On January 1, 2018, when the corporation’s $15 par value common stock was selling for $135 per share, holders of 30% of the convertible debentures exercised their conversion options. The corporation uses the straight-line method for amortizing any bond discounts or premiums.

Prepare the entry to record the original issuance of the convertible debentures. Prepare the entry to record the exercise of the conversion option, using the book value method.
