Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,704,000
Cost of goods sold 1,250,524
Gross margin 453,476
Selling and administrative expenses 630,000
Net operating loss $ (176,524 )

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,000 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,200 $ 162,900 $ 563,100
Direct labor $ 120,700 $ 42,700 163,400
Manufacturing overhead 524,024
Cost of goods sold $ 1,250,524

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $55,000 and $101,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Manufacturing
Overhead
Activity
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) B300 T500 Total
Machining (machine-hours) $ 205,824 90,800 62,800 153,600
Setups (setup hours) 156,200 75 280 355
Product-sustaining (number of products) 102,000 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,000 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 524,024

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.

Minden Company introduced a new product last year for which it is trying to find an optimal selling price. Marketing studies suggest that the company can increase sales by 5,000 units for each $2 reduction in the selling price. The company’s present selling price is $90 per unit, and variable expenses are $60 per unit. Fixed expenses are $838,800 per year. The present annual sales volume (at the $90 selling price) is 25,300 units.

Required:

1. What is the present yearly net operating income or loss?

2. What is the present break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?

3. Assuming that the marketing studies are correct, what is the maximum annual profit that the company can earn? At how many units and at what selling price per unit would the company generate this profit?

4. What would be the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales using the selling price you determined in (3) above (e.g., the selling price at the level of maximum profits)?

Besserbrau AG is a German beer producer headquartered in Ergersheim, Bavaria. The company, which was founded in 1842 by brothers Hans and Franz Besser, is publicly traded, with shares listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Manufactur- ing in strict accordance with the almost 500-year-old German Beer Purity Law, Besserbrau uses only four ingredients in making its products: malt, hops, yeast, and water. While the other ingredients are obtained locally, Besserbrau imports hops from a company located in the Czech Republic. Czech hops are considered to be among the world’s finest. Historically, Besserbrau’s products were marketed exclusively in Germany. To take advantage of a potentially enormous market for its products and expand sales, Besserbrau began making sales in the People’s Republic of China three years ago. The company established a wholly owned sub- sidiary in China (BB Pijio) to handle the distribution of Besserbrau products in that country. In the most recent year, sales to BB Pijio accounted for 20 percent of Besserbrau’s sales, and BB Pijio’s sales to customers in China accounted for 10 per- cent of the Besserbrau Group’s total profits. In fact, sales of Besserbrau products in China have expanded so rapidly and the potential for continued sales growth is so great that the company recently broke ground on the construction of a brewery in Shanghai, China. To finance construction of the new facility, Besserbrau negotiated a listing of its shares on the London Stock Exchange to facilitate an initial public offering of new shares of stock.

Required: Discuss the various international accounting issues confronted by Besserbrau AG.

Sheridan Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2020 of $804,900. Additional transactions occurring in 2020 but not considered in the $804,900 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $93,900 during the year.
2. At the beginning of 2018, the corporation purchased a machine for $70,200 (salvage value of $11,700) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2018, 2019, and 2020, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $58,400 (pretax).
4. When its president died, the corporation realized $159,600 from an insurance policy. The cash surrender value of this policy had been carried on the books as an investment in the amount of $47,530 (the gain is nontaxable).
5. The corporation disposed of its recreational division at a loss of $117,100 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations.
6. The corporation decided to change its method of inventory pricing from average-cost to the FIFO method. The effect of this change on prior years is to increase 2018 income by $60,600 and decrease 2019 income by $21,510 before taxes. The FIFO method has been used for 2020. The tax rate on these items is 30%.


Prepare an income statement for the year 2020 starting with income from continuing operations before taxes. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. Common shares outstanding for the year are 108,490 shares. (Assume a tax rate of 30% on all items, unless indicated otherwise.) (Round earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Problem 10-1 Acquisition costs [LO10-1, 10-2, 10-3, 10-4]

Tristar Production Company began operations on September 1, 2018. Listed below are a number of transactions that occurred during its first four months of operations. (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.)

  2. On September 1, Tristar signed a $53,000 noninterest-bearing note to purchase equipment. The $53,000 payment is due on September 1, 2019. Assume that 8% is a reasonable interest rate.
  3. On September 15, a truck was donated to the corporation. Similar trucks were selling for $3,800.
  4. On September 18, the company paid its lawyer $4,000 for organizing the corporation.

  7. On December 10, the company acquired a tract of land at a cost of $33,000. It paid $4,000 down and signed a 10% note with both principal and interest due in one year. Ten percent is an appropriate rate of interest for this note.
