Plasto Corporation manufactures a variety of plastic products, including a series of molded chairs. The three models of molded chairs, which are all variations of the same design, are Standard (can be stacked), Deluxe (with arms), and Executive (with arms and padding). The company uses batch manufacturing and has an operation-costing system. The production process includes an extrusion operation and subsequent operations to form, trim, and finish the chairs. Plastic sheets are produced by the extrusion operation, some of which are sold directly to other manufacturers. During the forming operation, the remaining plastic sheets are molded into chair seats and the legs are added; the Standard model is sold after this operation. During the trim operation, the arms are added to the Deluxe and Executive models and the chair edges are smoothed. Only the Executive model enters the finish operation where the padding is added. All of the units produced receive the same steps within each operation. The May production run had a total manufacturing cost of $988,290. The units of production and direct-material costs incurred were as follows:

     

Units Produced Extrusion Materials Form Materials Trim Materials Finish Materials
Plastic sheets 4,800 $ 62,400
Standard model 6,100 79,300 $ 24,400
Deluxe model 3,300 42,900 13,200 $ 9,900
Executive model 2,400 31,200 9,600 7,200 $ 14,400
Total 16,600 $ 215,800 $ 47,200 $ 17,100 $ 14,400

Option #1: Acquisition Costs: Land and Building

You are the project manager at Janson Manufacturing. Feedback from the annual employee’s survey revealed that employees were interested in having a fitness center. Thus, last week, you closed the deal and purchased land and a building for $6 million. Other expenses incurred in connection to this purchase included:

Attorney fees for the contract $10,000
Commissions 55,000
Title insurance 8,500
Pro-rated Property taxes 75,000

An independent appraisal was requested to determine the individual fair value estimates. The land appraised at $5.5 million and the building at $1.9 million.

Spending on the property started right away. Janson installed fences and completed the driveway at a cost of $45,000 and $75,000, respectively.

Required:

  1. What is the initial valuation of each asset Janson purchased in these transactions?
  2. Suppose Janson, immediately after acquiring the property, decided to tear down the building. The cost of the removal of the building was $350,000 and salvaged materials sold for $8,000. An additional $100,000 was paid to grade the land for building the new fitness center. What is the initial valuation of each asset Janson acquired in this transaction?

Answers must be submitted in an Excel file showing all calculations used to arrive at the final answers. Provide comments on the spreadsheet to explain the rationale for the amounts recorded.

Emerson Process Management, a global supplier of measurement, analytical, and monitoring instruments and services based in Austin, Texas, had a new data warehouse designed for analyzing customer activity to improve service and marketing that was full of inaccurate and redundant data. The data in the warehouse came from numerous transaction processing systems in Europe, Asia, and other locations around the world. The team that designed the warehouse had assumed that sales groups in all these areas would enter customer names and addresses the same way, regardless of their location. In fact, cultural differences combined with complications from absorbing companies that Emerson had acquired led to multiple ways of entering quote, billing, shipping, and other data. Assess the potential business impact of these data quality problems. What decisions have to be made and steps taken to reach a solution?
