This question regards life insurance:

1. What makes someone a candidate for the product? (age, life circumstances, income, etc.).  
2. How can you find a pool of potential customers for this service? What information can you find or purchase, such as lists? How many prospects could you come up with to start a conversation (f2f, phone, email)? Recognize that most of the prospects will (a) not need, (b) not be able to buy, or (c) already have insurance. That is why developing a very large pool of leads is so important to selling success.
3. What questions would you ask to verify if there is both need and ability to purchase the product?

Problem 11-18 Relevant Cost Analysis in a Variety of Situations [LO11-2, LO11-3, LO11-4]

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 120,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $48 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent.

Required:

1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 162,000 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 35% above the present 120,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $120,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $120,000 in fixed selling expenses?

1-b. Would the additional investment be justified?

2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 162,000 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 42,000 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $3.70 per unit and an additional $29,400 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $2.40 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order?

3. The company has 800 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price?

4. Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 40% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period.

a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months?

b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months?

c. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant for the two-month period?

d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months?

5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 120,000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. What is Andretti’s avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?

Workpaper Entries and Consolidated Net Income for Two Years, Cost Method LO 6 LO 3 LO 5 On January 1, 2014, Palmero Company purchased an 80% interest in Santos Company for $2,800,000, at which time Santos Company had retained earnings of $1,000,000 and capital stock of $500,000. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Santos Company was equal to their book value, except for property and equipment (net), which had a fair value of $1,500,000 and a book value of $600,000. The property and equipment had an estimated remaining life of 10 years. Palmero Company reported net income from independent operations of $400,000 in 2014 and $425,000 in 2015. Santos Company reported net income of $300,000 in 2014 and $400,000 in 2015. Neither company declared dividends in 2014 or 2015. Palmero uses the cost method to account for its investment in Santos. Required: A. Prepare in general journal form the entries necessary in the consolidated statements work papers for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. B. Prepare a schedule or t-account showing the calculation of the controlling and non controlling interest in consolidated net income for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015.

Useful Art Inc. creates and manufactures objects that are characterized by both utility and artistry. One of its most popular products is the trivet (a 3-legged hot plate). The top of each trivet is a unique, handmade ceramic tile. Useful Art buys the tiles from artists and the trivet legs from a metal-working company, then assembles the trivets in-house. Towards the end of 2015, Useful Art prepares monthly budgets for 2016 using the following assumptions and data:

2015 actual sales:

Jan 300 u

Apr 350 u

Feb 325 u

May 345 u

Mar 275 u

Jun 370 u

Selling price per unit 50 $/u

Useful Art plans to launch a marketing campaign in 2016 that should increase sales (units) by 10% over 2015 sales as long as the selling price remains unchanged. Because each trivet is unique, management wants to have a substantial number of trivets on hand at all times so that customers can choose from among many options. So management plans to have 20% of next month's sales (units) on hand at the end of each month. The artists from whom Useful Art purchases the ceramic tiles do great work, but are sometimes a bit unreliable as to when they deliver the tiles. So management wants to have 30% of next month's production needs (tiles) on hand at the end of each month. The metal-working supplier is very reliable, so management wants to have just 15% of next month's production needs (legs) on hand at the end of each month Useful Art pays $35 per tile. • Useful Art pays $.45 per leg. • Useful Art has collected the following data related to cash inflows from sales: 20% of sales revenues are collected in the month of sale 70% of sales revenues are collected in the month after the sale 10% of sales revenues are collected two months after the sale

REQUIRED: Prepare the following budgets on a monthly basis for Useful Art for 2016: 1. Sales Budget (first two quarters of 2016) 2. Production Budget (first quarter of 2016) 3. Materials Purchases Budget (tiles) (first quarter of 2016) 4. Materials Purchases Budget (legs) (first quarter of 2016) 5. Cash Receipts (AKA Cash Collections) Budget (second quarter of 2016)

Black Mountain Ski Resort has been granted a 20 - year permit to develop and operate a skiing operation in a national park. After 20 years the site must be returned to its original condition.

You must use the following Long-Lived asset accounts

Ski Lift

Ski Chalet

Land improvement

Roads

Parking lot

1. Installed three ski lifts for a total cost of $150,000,000. It is estimated that the scrap metal from the lifts could be sold for $4,000,000 at the end of 20 years.
2. Built a Ski chalet for $70,000,000
3. Removed Trees and cleared the area for ski runs at a cost of $40,000,000
4. Received $ 10,000,000 for the trees that were removed for the ski runs.
5. Put in roads for a cost of $50,000,000.
6. Paved an area at the base of the mountain for a parking lot at a cost of $10,000,000.
7. Estimated that it would cost $20,000,000 to dismantle the ski lifts in 20 years. The chalet could be removed for a cost of $15,000,000. Re-foresting the site would cost $5,000,000. Removing the parking lot will cost $3,000,000. Calculate the PV of Site Restoration using a risk rate of 6% and provide the journal entry.

8. Using Straight Line Depreciation record the depreciation for the first year of operations on the Long-Lived assets and site restoration costs. Put all the depreciation expense in one account and then create accumulated depreciation accounts for each asset that requires depreciation.

9. Allocate the interest expense on the site restoration costs for the first three years
