Zimmerman Inc. manufactures a single product, CXW. Zimmerman uses budgets
and standards in its planning and control functions. Zimmerman makes use of its
standards in order to derive their budgeted cost per unit. For example, Exhibit A
provides information on the budgeted variable costs per unit. When determining
direct material costs for the planning budget income statement, the $12 budgeted
material cost per unit of CXW would be used in the calculation.

Exhibit A

Budgeted
(Standard)
Variable Costs Per
Unit of CXW
Raw material: 3 pounds at $4 per pound $12
Direct labor: 0.75 direct labor hours at $20 per hour 15
Variable overhead: 0.75 direct labor hours at $12 per hour 9
Total variable budgeted (standard) cost per CXW $36
__________________________________________________________________
The standards for fixed manufacturing overhead costs are: 0.75 direct labor hours
at $8 per hour. The standard fixed manufacturing overhead cost per hour is
calculated based on a denominator level of activity of 30,000 direct labor hours.
The planning budget income statement is based on the expectation of selling
40,000 units of CXW. The budgeted sales price is $65 per unit, and total budgeted
fixed selling and administrative costs are $500,000. There are no variable selling
and administrative costs in this firm.
The company actually produced and sold 36,000 units this year. The company
never has a beginning or ending raw materials inventory, because it uses all raw
materials purchased. Also, the company never has a beginning or ending finished
goods inventory. Everything produced in the year is sold in that same year.

X Company currently makes a part and is considering buying it next year from a company that has offered to supply it for $17.29 per unit. This year, total costs to produce 58,000 units were: Direct materials $371,200 Direct labor 336,400 Variable overhead 179,800 Fixed overhead 104,400 If X Company buys the part, it can avoid $34,452 of the fixed overhead. The resources that will become idle if they choose to buy the part can be used to increase production of another product, resulting in additional total contribution margin of $65,000. The marketing manager is uncertain what demand will be next year. What level of demand will make the company indifferent between making the part and buying it?

Bessrawl Corporation is a U.S.-based company that prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The company reported income in 2014 of $1,000,000 and stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2014, of $8,000,000. The CFO of Bessrawl has learned that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is considering requiring U.S. companies to use IFRS in preparing consolidated financial statements. The company wishes to determine the impact that a switch to IFRS would have on its financial statements and has engaged you to prepare a reconciliation of income and stockholders’ equity from U.S. GAAP to IFRS. You have identified the following four areas in which Bessrawl’s accounting principles based on U.S. GAAP differ from IFRS.

1)Inventory

2)Property, plant, and equipment

3)Intangible assets

4)Research and development costs.

Bessrawl provides the following information with respect to each of these accounting differences.

Inventory

At year-end 2014, inventory had a historical cost of $250,000, a replacement cost of $180,000, a net realizable value of $190,000, and a normal profit margin of 20 percent.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

The company acquired a building at the beginning of 2013 at a cost of $2,750,000. The building has an estimated useful life of 25 years, an estimated residual value of $250,000, and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. At the beginning of 2014, the building was appraised and determined to have a fair value of $3,250,000. There is no change in estimated useful life or residual value. In a switch to IFRS, the company would use the revaluation model in IAS 16 to determine the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment subsequent to acquisition.

Intangible Assets

As part of a business combination in 2011, the company acquired a brand with a fair value of $40,000. The brand is classified as an intangible asset with an in- definite life. At year-end 2014, the brand is determined to have a selling price of $35,000 with zero cost to sell. Expected future cash flows from continued use of the brand are $42,000, and the present value of the expected future cash flows is $34,000.

Research and Development Costs

The company incurred research and development costs of $200,000 in 2014. Of this amount, 40 percent related to development activities subsequent to the point at which criteria had been met indicating that an intangible asset existed. As of the end of the 2014, development of the new product had not been completed.

Required

Prepare a reconciliation schedule to convert 2014 income and December 31, 2014, stockholders’ equity from a U.S. GAAP basis to IFRS. Ignore income taxes.

Prepare a note to explain each adjustment made in the reconciliation schedule.

Potz and Pans, a small gift shop, has current assets of $45,000 (including inventory valued at $30,000) and $9,000 in current liabilities. Wannabees, a specialty clothing store has current assets of $150,000 (including inventory valued at $125,000) and $85,000 in current liabilities. Both business have applied for loans. Click the calculators box on the toolbar at bankrate.com then click on Small Business to answer the following questions.

1) Calculate and present the current ratio for each company. Which company is more likely to get the loan? Why?

2) The acid test ratio subtracts the value of the firm's inventory from its total current assets. Because inventory is often difficult to sell, this ratio is considered an even more reliable measure of a business's ability to repay loans than the current ration. Calculate and present the acid test ratio for each business and decide whether you would give either the loan. Why or why not for each?
