1. Income Statements under Absorption and Variable Costing

   Shawnee Motors Inc. assembles and sells MP3 players. The company began operations on August 1 and operated at 100% of capacity during the first month. The following data summarize the results for August:

   Sales (15,500 units)				$2,170,000
   Production costs (20,000 units):
   Direct materials		$1,036,000
   Direct labor		498,000
   Variable factory overhead		248,000
   Fixed factory overhead		166,000		1,948,000
   Selling and administrative expenses:
   Variable selling and administrative expenses		$301,900
   Fixed selling and administrative expenses		116,900		418,800

   If required, round interim per-unit calculations to the nearest cent.

   c. What is the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (a) and (b)?

   Under the   method, the fixed manufacturing cost included in the cost of goods sold is matched with the revenues. Under  , all of the fixed manufacturing cost is deducted in the period in which it is incurred, regardless of the amount of inventory change. Thus, when inventory increases, the   income statement will have a higher income from operations than will the variable costing income statement.

. Come up with a merchandise company scenario, where this company performed four purchasing transactions and two sales transactions. Then, calculate the balance of ending inventory and cost of goods sold after each sales transaction, assuming the company used the FIFO, Moving Average Cost. Use the following table to answer.

Airnova Inc. has two types of bonds, Bond D and Bond F. Both have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond D has 2 years to maturity. Bond F has 15 years to maturity.

Airnova Inc. is considering four different types of stocks. They each have a required return of 20 percent and a dividend of $3.75 for share. Stocks, A, B, and C are expected to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the near future of 10 percent, 0 percent, and -5 percent, respectively. Stock D is a growth stock and will increase its dividend by 30 percent for the next four years and then maintain a constant 12 percent growth rate after that.

What is the dividend yield for each of the four stocks?

What is the expected capital gains yield?

Discuss the relationship among the various returns that you find for each of the stocks.

Computerised shipping documents

Fremantle Fisheries(FF) operates a fleet of fishing boat out of three ports in Western Australia– Fremantle, Bunbury and Geraldton. Each port has its own fishing fleet and all seafoodcaught is sold through the Fish Marketing Board, a board established by the stategovernment. The accounting procedures for all sales to the Board are centralised and handledby a computerised accounting system at FF’s head office in Perth. The majority of thecompany’s employees work on the fishing boats, and are paid bonuses from head office,depending on the volume, type and quality of seafood caught. This means that head officemust be able to identify the source of each shipment sent to the Board.John Dorey, who was originally based in Geraldton and handled the accounting procedures atGeraldton before computerisation, is now based in Perth as manager of the computerisedaccounting system. His father and two sisters are still based in Geraldton and work for thecompany on the fishing boats, as do many friends of the family.Shipping documents are sent to the Perth head office from all three ports, and the sources ofthe shipment is clearly marked in the top right-head corner of the documents. Occasionally,however, details of the source are missing, and it is not easy to trace the source quickly.Dorey, in his capacity as manager of the system, is keen to keep the system fully operationaland up to date, and has instructed the keyboard operator to insert any one of three Geraldtonsource codes, namely those of his father and two sisters, whenever the source code is missingfrom the shipping document. The keyboard operator knows that the codes given are thosebelonging to his boss’s family, but nevertheless complies with the request for fear that non-compliance may lead to his own dismissal.Required

A, who are the stakeholders in this situation?

B, what are the ethical issues involved here as a result of Dorey’s request and the action takenby the keyboard operator?

C. if you were the keyboard operator, what action (if any) would you take to prevent this situation occurring? Why?

Shearwater Council owns and operates an animal shelter that performs three services: housing and finding homes for stray and unwanted animals, providing health care and neutering services for the animals, and pet training services. One facility is dedicated to housing animals waiting to be adopted. A second facility houses veterinarian services. A third facility houses the director, his staff, and several dog trainers. This facility also has several large meeting rooms that are frequently used for classes given by the animal trainers. The trainers work with all of the animals to ensure that they are relatively easy to manage. They also provide dog obedience classes for adopting families.

Estimated annual costs for the animal shelter and its services are as follows:

Director and staff salaries $ 60 000

Animal shelter employees’ salaries 100 000

Veterinarians and technicians 150 000

Animal trainers 40 000

Food and supplies 125 000

Building-related costs 200 000

On average, 75 animals per day are housed at the facility or about 27 375 (75 × 365) animal days in total. In addition, the trainers offer about 125 classes during about 30 weeks throughout the year. On average, 10 families attend each class. Last year the veterinarian clinic experienced 5000 animal visits.

One of the director’s staff members just graduated from an accounting program and would like to set up an ABC system for the shelter so that the director can better understand the cost for each of the shelter’s services. He gathers the following information:

Square footage for each facility:

Animal shelter 5000 square feet

Director and training 3000 square feet

Veterinarian clinic 2000 square feet

Percentage of trainer time used in classes 50%

Supplies used for veterinarian services $75 000
