You are a Financial Manager for Dexter Manufacturing. Your sales were $1,000,000 in 2010, and $1,000,000 again in 2011. Your accounting department came to you recently and stated that the cash balance is much lower at the end of 2011 than it was in 2010. You calculate your Accounts Receivable and Inventory Turnover for 2011 and noticed that both of these ratios have DROPPED from 2010 to 2011! Describe in a couple paragraphs what has happened to Accounts Receivable and Inventory. Does this help explain why cash is running low in your opinion? What could you suggest to your management team to help improve these 2 ratios and to help increase cash?

10) Universal Leasing leases electronic equipment to a variety of businesses. The company’s primary service is providing alternate financing by acquiring equipment and leasing it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Universal earns interest under these arrangements at a 10% annual rate.
  
The company leased an electronic typesetting machine it purchased for $30,900 to a local publisher, Desktop Inc. on December 31, 2017. The lease contract specified annual payments of $8,000 beginning January 1, 2018, the beginning of the lease, and each December 31 through 2019 (three-year lease term). The publisher had the option to purchase the machine on December 30, 2020, the end of the lease term, for $12,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $16,000, a sufficient difference that exercise seems reasonably certain. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Required:
1. Show how Universal calculated the $8,000 annual lease payments for this sales-type lease.
2. Prepare an amortization schedule that describes the pattern of interest revenue for Universal Leasing over the lease term.
3. Prepare the appropriate entries for Universal Leasing from the beginning of the lease through the end of the lease term.

Pfizer Company produced and sold 50,000 units of product and is operating at 75% of plant capacity. Unit information about its product is as follows:

     Sales Price                                                $70

     Variable manufacturing cost                    $45

     Fixed manufacturing cost ($500,000 ÷ 50,000) 10        55

     Profit per unit                                            $15

The company received a proposal from a foreign company to buy 15,000 units of Pfizer Company's product for $50 per unit. This is a one-time only order and acceptance of this proposal will not affect the company's regular sales. The president of Pfizer Company is reluctant to accept the proposal because he is concerned that the company will lose money on the special order.

Instructions

a) Prepare a schedule reflecting an incremental analysis of this special order.

b) Should Pfizer accept/reject this order? Why?

Smoky Mountain Corporation makes two types of hiking boots—the Xtreme and the Pathfinder. Data concerning these two product lines appear below:

Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has been a long-simmering dispute between the company’s estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work, such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes, and nonroutine work, such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $3.60 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.775 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”

To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Activity
Removing asbestos Thousands of square feet 800 thousand square feet
Estimating and job setup Number of jobs 400 jobs
Working on nonroutine jobs Number of nonroutine jobs 100 nonroutine jobs
Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) None
Note: The 100 nonroutine jobs are included in the total of 400 jobs. Both nonroutine jobs and routine jobs require estimating and setup.
Costs for the Year
Wages and salaries $ 480,000
Disposal fees 882,000
Equipment depreciation 108,000
On-site supplies 68,000
Office expenses 380,000
Licensing and insurance 580,000
Total cost $ 2,498,000
Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities
Removing Asbestos Estimating and Job Setup Working on Nonroutine Jobs Other Total
Wages and salaries 50 % 15 % 20 % 15 % 100 %
Disposal fees 70 % 0 % 30 % 0 % 100 %
Equipment depreciation 40 % 5 % 20 % 35 % 100 %
On-site supplies 70 % 20 % 10 % 0 % 100 %
Office expenses 15 % 35 % 20 % 30 % 100 %
Licensing and insurance 30 % 0 % 50 % 20 % 100 %

Required:

1. Perform the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.

3. Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square feet of each of the following jobs according to the activity-based costing system.

a. A routine 1,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

b. A routine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

c. A nonroutine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

The company has a traditional costing system in which manufacturing overhead is applied to units based on direct labor-hours. Data concerning manufacturing overhead and direct labor-hours for the upcoming year appear below:

Estimated total manufacturing overhead $ 2,156,000
Estimated total direct labor-hours 107,800 DLHs

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. The company is considering replacing its traditional costing system with an activity-based costing system that would assign its manufacturing overhead to the following four activity cost pools (the Other cost pool includes organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs):
