Buffalo Corporation is preparing the comparative financial
statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal
years ended May 31, 2017, and May 31, 2018. The income from
operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, was $1,800,000
and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May
31, 2018, was $2,500,000. In both years, the company incurred a 10%
interest expense on $2,400,000 of debt, an obligation that requires

Paintball is now played around the world. The process of making paintballs is actually quite similar to the process used to make certain medical pills. In fact, paintballs were previously often made at the same factories that made pharmaceuticals.
Instructions
a. Describe in sequence the primary steps used to manufacture paintballs.
b. Explain the costs incurred by the company that would fall into each of the following categories: materials, labor, and overhead. Of these categories, which do you think would be the greatest cost in making paintballs?
c. Discuss whether a paintball manufacturer would use job order costing or process costing.

Aurora Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The
invoice price of the machine is $140,000, freight charges are
estimated to be $4,000, and installation costs are expected to be
$6,000. Salvage value of the new equipment is expected to be zero
after a useful life of 5 years. Existing equipment could be
retained and used for an additional 5 years if the new machine is
not purchased. At that time, the salvage value of the equipment
would be zero. If the new machine is purchased now, the existing
machine would have to be scrapped. Aurora’s accountant, Lisah
Huang, has accumulated the following data regarding annual sales
and expenses with and without the new machine.
| 1. | Without the new machine, Aurora can sell 12,000 units of product annually at a per unit selling price of $100. If the new machine is purchased, the number of units produced and sold would increase by 10%, and the selling price would remain the same. | ||
| 2. | The new machine is faster than the old machine, and it is more efficient in its usage of materials. With the old machine the gross profit rate will be 25% of sales, whereas the rate will be 30% of sales with the new machine. | ||
| 3. | Annual selling expenses are $180,000 with the current equipment. Because the new equipment would produce a greater number of units to be sold, annual selling expenses are expected to increase by 10% if it is purchased. | ||
| 4. | Annual administrative expenses are expected to be $100,000 with the old machine, and $113,000 with the new machine. | ||
| 5. | The current book value of the existing machine is $36,000. Aurora uses straight-line depreciation. |
With the class divided into groups, prepare an incremental analysis
for the 5 years. (Ignore income tax effects.) (Enter
negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number
e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, Montana. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.55 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing. After some discussion, she designed a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Activity for the Year Cleaning carpets Square feet cleaned (00s) 12,500 hundred square feet Travel to jobs Miles driven 287,500 miles Job support Number of jobs 1,800 jobs Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) None Not applicable ________________________________________ The total cost of operating the company for the year is $359,000 which includes the following costs: Wages $ 144,000 Cleaning supplies 28,000 Cleaning equipment depreciation 8,000 Vehicle expenses 39,000 Office expenses 59,000 President’s compensation 81,000 Total cost $ 359,000 ________________________________________ Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows: Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Carpets Travel to Jobs Job Support Other Total Wages 73 % 13 % 0 % 14 % 100 % Cleaning supplies 100 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 100 % Cleaning equipment depreciation 71 % 0 % 0 % 29 % 100 % Vehicle expenses 0 % 81 % 0 % 19 % 100 % Office expenses 0 % 0 % 63 % 37 % 100 % President’s compensation 0 % 0 % 31 % 69 % 100 % ________________________________________ Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on. Required: 1. Prepare the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools. 2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools. 3. The company recently completed a 200 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N Ranch—a 59-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system. 4. The revenue from the Flying N Ranch was $47.10 (200 square feet @ $23.55 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

Ethical Issues
Jeremiah Wedgewood, the CFO, is adamant that the company needs to move ahead with the new line. While Josey also thinks that the new line is a good idea, she is a little worried about how it is going to affect their financial statements in the short run. After carefully considering what was likely to happen, Josey scheduled an appointment to visit with Jeremiah about her concerns.
"Josey!" Jeremiah said as she came into his office. "How are you doing today?" Josey smiled. Nothing ever seemed to really bother Jeremiah.
"I'm doing well, thanks, Uncle Jerry. Just a little worried about our new line."
"Worried?" Jeremiah asked. "About what?"
"Well, let me just start by saying that I agree that adding these new candles is a great idea. I think we have a really good idea of how much we can charge for them to break into the market and stay competitive in the long run. I also think while our costs will be high while we get the new line started, they will come down over time as we get settled. But I'm a little concerned about what the line will do to our profits for the next couple of years. The profits won't be nearly as good as they are for our traditional candles for at least two years."
"Well, Josey," Jeremiah replied, "keep in mind that this is a family-owned business, so that's not going to be a big deal. I mean, we don't have investors messing up our stock prices with every little piece of news. However," he paused, looking out his window for a moment as he thought about the changes. "We did just open up a new line of credit with our bank and our interest rate is contingent on maintaining profitability in each segment. Shoot! I didn't think about the new line when I signed that deal. They offered such a low rate that I wanted to make sure I locked it in." He looked at Josey. "We don't have to show a large profit, just a profit. What do you think our chances are of just being above zero with the new line?"
Josey shook her hand back and forth. "About 50-50, at least for the first year."
"That's not good enough," Jeremiah said, shaking his head. "What is we adjust the overhead allocation so that both lines show a profit?" Josey frowned. "Now, don't write me off as a bad guy, Josey. This wouldn't be right if we were a public company because we would be misleading investors, but, as I said, we don't have any investors, just the family.
"What about the bank?" Josey asked.
"Well think about it," Jeremiah said, a smile again forming on his lips. "They really just want to make sure that we pay them back, or that we have the cash to pay them back. What I'm talking about won't affect our cash flows at all. We're just shifting overhead from one line to another. Companies do that all the time."
Josey looked at Jeremiah and pondered. She was confident that the new line would be profitable soon, probably in just a year or two. And overhead is applied on a somewhat arbitrary basis, especially when using a single, plant-wide rate, or departmental rates. She chose all of those numbers anyway, after all. There was no way to really know if the amount of overhead being applied to any product was the "real" amount. Activity- based costing would get them closer to an actual cost, but she hadn't had time to get into that yet. And Jeremiah was certainly right; the last thing they needed now was for the bank to raise the interest rates over a bookkeeping technicality. Perhaps they could make a change to their overhead allocations...
Questions
1. Make a list of pros and cons of applying overhead strictly on the basis of specific departmental rates versus "adjusting" the allocations to keep each line profitable.
2. Review the four principles and four standards of the IMA's Statement of Ethical Professional Practice. Based on these principles and standards, do you believe that there are any ethical violations in Jeremiah's proposal? Explain which, if any, of the principles and/or standards Jeremiah's suggestion will violate. Does it matter that this is a family-owned company instead of one with outside investors? If there were no bank loan and Jeremiah wanted to do this just for internal reporting, would it change your answer?
