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.

Additional Information:

  1. The recoverable amount of the $20,000 of accounts receivable shown on the unadjusted trial balance is $18,000.

  3. In October 2017, Weez Ltd prepaid its store rent for the entire year, effective the beginning of November 2017. The yearly rent is $31,050, including GST.
  4. The computer equipment has a useful life of five years, a residual value of $1,000, and is being depreciated using the declining balance method at 2X the straight-line rate. The balance in Accumulated Depreciation represents three months of depreciation. (Weez Ltd calculates a 12 month block of depreciation and then apportions the expense monthly.)
  5. Dividends of $5,000 were declared and paid to Weez Ltd shareholders in February.
  6. The February payroll totals $32,000 for 20 days of work for that month. The 20 days include two days worked the end of February that will be paid in March. Included in the $32,000 is $8,000 of PAYE and other withholdings.
  7. Weez Ltd uses the periodic inventory system and debits Inventory for all of its merchandise purchases. It then counts the inventory remaining at the end of each month and applies FIFO in order to calculate Cost of Goods Sold for the month. The $50,000 balance of Inventory on the trial balance (shown net of GST) consists of the following:
  • Beginning inventory (as at 1 February 2018) of 2,000 widgets at $2 each;
  • 6,000 units purchased at $3 each on 10 February;
  • 10,000 units purchased at $2.50 each on 16 February;
  • 1,000 units purchased at $3 each on 25 February.

An inventory count on 28 February showed that 1,500 widgets remained on hand.

  1. The inventory count did not include the items shipped as the result of a 27 February sale of 500 widgets at $11.50 each, including GST, terms 2/10 net 30. Weez Ltd shipped the widgets on 28 February, FOB shipping point, to arrive at the buyer’s place of business in early March. Weez Ltd has not yet recorded the sale.
  2. Weez Ltd offers a one year warranty and estimates that as at 28 February, the amount owing for the next 12 months is $30,000. GST does not apply to warranty work.
  3. Income tax payable is estimated at 30% of pre-tax profit.

Pittman Company is a small but growing manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. The company has no sales force of its own; rather, it relies completely on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents are paid a sales commission of 15% for all items sold.

     Barbara Cheney, Pittman’s controller, has just prepared the company’s budgeted income statement for next year. The statement follows:

Pittman Company
Budgeted Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31
  Sales $ 16,000,000
  Manufacturing expenses:
      Variable $ 7,200,000
      Fixed overhead 2,340,000 9,540,000
  Gross margin 6,460,000
  Selling and administrative expenses:
      Commissions to agents 2,400,000
      Fixed marketing expenses 120,000*
      Fixed administrative expenses 1,800,000 4,320,000
  Net operating income 2,140,000
  Fixed interest expenses 540,000  
  Income before income taxes 1,600,000  
  Income taxes (30%) 480,000  
  Net income $ 1,120,000  
*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

     As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittman’s president, she commented, “I went ahead and used the agents’ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but we’ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.”

     “That’s the last straw,” Karl replied angrily. “Those agents have been demanding more and more, and this time they’ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?”

     “They claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, there’s nothing left over for profit,” replied Barbara.

     “I say it’s just plain robbery,” retorted Karl. “And I also say it’s time we dumped those guys and got our own sales force. Can you get your people to work up some cost figures for us to look at?”

     “We’ve already worked them up,” said Barbara. “Several companies we know about pay a 7.5% commission to their own salespeople, along with a small salary. Of course, we would have to handle all promotion costs, too. We figure our fixed expenses would increase by $2,400,000 per year, but that would be more than offset by the $3,200,000 (20% × $16,000,000) that we would avoid on agents’ commissions.”

The breakdown of the $2,400,000 cost follows:

   

  Salaries:
     Sales manager $ 100,000
     Salespersons 600,000
  Travel and entertainment 400,000
  Advertising 1,300,000
  Total $ 2,400,000

     “Super,” replied Karl. “And I noticed that the $2,400,000 is just what we’re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.”

     “It’s even better than that,” explained Barbara. “We can actually save $75,000 a year because that’s what we’re having to pay the auditing firm now to check out the agents’ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.”

     “Pull all of these numbers together and we’ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,” said Karl. “With the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.”

Required:
1.

Compute Pittman Company’s break-even point in dollar sales for next year assuming: (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

  

a.

The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

           

   

b.

The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

           

  

c.

The company employs its own sales force.

           

2.

Assume that Pittman Company decides to continue selling through agents and pays the 20% commission rate. Determine the volume of sales that would be required to generate the same net income as contained in the budgeted income statement for next year. (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 2 decimal places.)

     

  

3.

Determine the volume of sales at which net income would be equal regardless of whether Pittman Company sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force. (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 3 decimal places.)

     

4.

Compute the degree of operating leverage that the company would expect to have on December 31 at the end of next year assuming:

  

a.

The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

           

b.

The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

            

c. The company employs its own sales force.
