Keeton Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for its 600 employees. The company’s actuary provided the following information about the plan.

The average remaining service life per employee is 10.5 years. The service cost component of net periodic pension expense for employee services rendered amounted to $400,000 in 2017 and $475,000 in 2018. The accumulated OCI (PSC) on January 1, 2017, was $1,260,000. No benefits have been paid.

Correct answer iconYour answer is correct.

Compute the amount of accumulated OCI (PSC) to be amortized as a component of net periodic pension expense for each of the years 2017 and 2018.

Prepare a schedule which reflects the amount of accumulated OCI (G/L) to be amortized as a component of pension expense for 2017 and 2018.

Determine the total amount of pension expense to be recognized by Keeton Company in 2017 and 2018.

Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under

Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions

Darby Company, operating at full capacity, sold 126,900 units at a price of $126 per unit during the current year. Its income statement for the current year is as follows:

The division of costs between fixed and variable is as follows:

Management is considering a plant expansion program that will permit an increase of $1,260,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $126,000, but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.

6. Determine the maximum income from operations possible with the expanded plant. Enter the final answer rounded to the nearest dollar.

You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$16 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):

The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.

Suppliers are paid $4.60 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of each year.

The company plans to purchase $19,000 in new equipment during May and $46,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of $19,500 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter.

The company’s balance sheet as of March 31 is given below:

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $56,000. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments are made at the end of a month.

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $56,000 in cash.

Required:

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed schedules:

1. a. A sales budget, by month and in total.

    b. A schedule of expected cash collections, by month and in total.

    c. A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total.

    d. A schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases, by month and in total.

2. A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total. Determine any borrowing that would be needed to maintain the minimum cash balance of $56,000.

3. A budgeted income statement for the three-month period ending June 30. Use the contribution approach.

4. A budgeted balance sheet as of June 30.

Dorman Products Company uses a job order cost system and applies overhead to production on the basis of direct labor cost. On January 1, 2018, Job No. 50 was the only job in process. The costs incurred prior to January 1 on this job were as follows: direct materials $30,000; direct labor $15,000; and manufacturing overhead $25,000. Job No. 49 had been completed at a cost of $100,000 and was part of finished goods inventory. There was a $35,000 balance in the Raw Materials inventory account.

         During the month of January, the company began production on Jobs 51 and 52, and completed Jobs 50 and 51. Jobs 49 and 50 were sold on account during the month for $120,000 and $150,000, respectively. The following additional events occurred during the month.

1. Purchased additional raw materials of $270,000 on account.

2. Incurred factory labor costs of $61,000. Of this amount $11,000 is related to employer payroll taxes.

3. Incurred manufacturing overhead costs as follows: indirect materials $5,000; indirect labor $17,000; depreciation expense $22,000 and accounts payable $9,000 (for utilities and repairs).

4. Assigned direct materials and direct labor to jobs as follows.

                        Job No.                        Direct Materials                     Direct Labor

                        50                                $ 8,000                                   $    7,000

Perfect Pet Collar Company makes custom leather pet collars. The company expects each collar to require 1.70 feet of leather and predicts leather will cost $2.90 per foot. Suppose Perfect Pet made 65 collars during February. For these 65 collars, the company actually averaged 1.90 feet of leather per collar and paid $2.40 per foot.

Required:
1. Calculate the standard direct materials cost per unit. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)



2. Without performing any calculations, determine whether the direct materials price variance will be favorable or unfavorable.



3. Without performing any calculations, determine whether the direct materials quantity variance will be favorable or unfavorable.



6. Calculate the direct materials price and quantity variances. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable.)

Prepare general journal entries for the following transactions.

If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank. When required, enter amounts to the nearest cent. Assume 360 days in a year.

An existing turning operation in an small parts manufacturing plant is currently generating 25% scrap. The value of the scrap including material, labor and overhead costs is $20.00/unit. The current rate of process is 2000 units / month of both good an bad product. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago for $500,000. Current operating costs are $20,000 per year. The equipment's market value currently is $150,000. It has 4 more years of life remaining.

A quality improvement team has determined that the scrap rate can be reduced to 7% if new tooling and major overhaul work could be performed and some of the major components be replaced. The improvements would also reduce the annual operating costs to $15,000 per year.

If the organization requires a 20% IRR what is the maximum that could be spent on the equipment to reduce the scrap rate?

Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $240,845. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:

The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $379,800. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $94,900 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.
