HARDA Fashion sells ready-to-wear fashion clothes to teenagers. The company has a 20-store chain concentrated in the north-eastern part of the United States of America. Each store has the experienced full-time staff consist of a manager and an assistant manager. The full-time
staff is paid a fixed salary. The full-time staff is assisted with a cashier and a sales assistant who have comparatively less experience. The cashier and sales assistant are paid hourly wages plus the commission based on the volume of sales. HARDA Fashion uses unsophisticated cash registered with four-parts sales invoice to record each financial transaction. These sales invoices for the sales transaction irrespective of the payment type.
The record-keeping starts with the sales assistant on the sales floor. The sales assistant fills the sales invoices manually by providing the following information:
1. Records his or her employee number.
2. Enters the transaction details including clothes item number, description, quantity,
and the unit price.
3. Totals the sales invoice.
4. Calculates the discounts manually when appropriate.
5. Calculates the sales tax.
6. Finalise the sales invoice after calculating the grand total.
The sales assistant then forwards the sale invoice to the cashier and keeps one copy in the sales book. The cashier reviews this sales invoice and enters in the cash register. The cash register mechanically validates the invoice, automatically assigning a consecutive number to the transaction. The cashier is also responsible for getting credit approval on charge sales and
approving sales paid by cheque. The cashier gives

(1) one copy of the invoice to the customer,
(2) retains the second copy as a store copy, and (3) the third for a bankcard, if a deposit is needed. Returns are handled in exactly the reverse manner, with the cashier issuing a return slip.
At the end of each day, the cashier sequentially orders the sales invoices and takes cash register totals for cash, bankcard, cheque sales, and cash and credit card return. These totals are reconciled by the assistant manager to the cash register tapes, the total of the consecutively numbered sales invoices, and the return slips. The assistant manager prepares a daily
reconciliation report for the store manager’s review.
3 The manager reviews cash, cheque, and credit card sales and then prepares the daily bank deposit (credit card sales invoices are included in the deposit). The manager makes the deposit at the bank and files the validated deposit slip.
The cash register tapes, sales invoices, and return slips are forwarded daily to the central data
processing department at corporate headquarters for processing. The data processing department returns a weekly sales and commission activity report to the manager for review.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $120 and $80, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 100,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for each of the two products?

.2. What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?

3. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 80,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 10,000 additional Alphas for a price of $80 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer's order?

4. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 90,000 Betas during the current year.

On October 15, 2017, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2018, 25 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 25 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, at 90% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2018, which was $20. The fair value of the 25 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur.

Ten percent (2.5 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2019. All other options were exercised on July 12, 2022, when the stock’s price jumped unexpectedly to $24 per share.

Required:
1. When is Ensor’s stock option measurement date?
2. Determine the compensation expense for the stock option plan in 2018. (Ignore taxes.)
3. & 5. Prepare the necessary journal entries.

Following are the income statement and balance sheet for Intel Corporation.

*This should be considered as operating income.

** These investments are operating assets as they relate to associated companies.

(a) Compute Intel's net operating assets (NOA) for year-end 2010.
2010 NOA = ?

(b) Compute net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for 2010, assuming a federal and state statutory tax rate of 37%.

HINT: Gains/losses on equity method investments are considered operating income. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
2010 NOPAT = ?

(c) Forecast Intel's sales, NOPAT, and NOA for years 2011 through 2014 using the following assumptions:

Forecast the terminal period value using the assumptions above and assuming a terminal period growth of: 1%.

* Use sales rounded to nearest whole number for this calculation.

(d) Estimate the value of a share of Intel common stock using the discounted cash flow (DCF) model as of December 25, 2010; assume a discount rate (WACC) of 11%, common shares outstanding of 5,511 million, and net nonoperating obligations (NNO) of $(21,178) million (NNO is negative which means that Intel has net nonoperating investments).
