Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company...

Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 40,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

Unit Total
Direct materials $ 25 $ 1,000,000
Direct labor 10 400,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 3 120,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 200,000
Variable selling expense 2 80,000
Fixed selling expense 6 240,000
Total cost $ 51 $ 2,040,000

The Rets normally sell for $56 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $200,000 per year within the range of 30,000 through 40,000 Rets per year.

Required:

1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 10,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 10,000 units. This machine would cost $20,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 10,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.60 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 40,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 10,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

Blue Company began operations on January 1, 2019, adopting the conventional retail inventory system. None of the company’s merchandise was marked down in 2019 and, because there was no beginning inventory, its ending inventory for 2019 of $38,200 would have been the same under either the conventional retail system or the LIFO retail system.

On December 31, 2020, the store management considers adopting the LIFO retail system and desires to know how the December 31, 2020, inventory would appear under both systems. All pertinent data regarding purchases, sales, markups, and markdowns are shown below. There has been no change in the price level.

Esquire Comic Book Company had income before tax of $1,150,000 in 2016 before considering the following material items:

  

1.

Esquire sold one of its operating divisions, which qualified as a separate component according to generally accepted accounting principles. The before-tax loss on disposal was $365,000. The division generated before-tax income from operations from the beginning of the year through disposal of $530,000. Neither the loss on disposal nor the operating income is included in the $1,150,000 before-tax income the company generated from its other divisions.

2. The company incurred restructuring costs of $70,000 during the year.

  

Required:

Prepare a 2016 income statement for Esquire beginning with income from continuing operations. Assume an income tax rate of 40%. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign.)
