A company is considering two mutually exclusive projects requiring an initial cash outlay of $100 each and with a useful life of 5 years. The company required rate of return is 10% and the appropriate corporate tax rate is 40%. The projects will be depreciated on a straight line basis. The before depreciation and taxes cash flows expected to b generated by the projects are as follows.

Required
a) Determine the cashflow associated with the projects?

b) Which project should be accepted by using the appraisal method below;

1. Payback period
2. Net present value

Required

You are asked to provide the shareholders with an assessment of the firm's asset management ,profitability,efficiency,solvency and leverage .Be as complete as possible given the above information ,but do not use any irrelevant information

Calculate the project cash flow generated for Project A and Project B using the NPV method.

• Which project would you select, and why?
• Which project would you select under the payback method? The discount rate is 10% for both projects.
• Use Microsoft^® Excel^® to prepare your answer.
• Note that a similar problem is in the textbook in Section 5.1.

Sample Template for Project A and Project B:

“Table showing investments and returns for Project A and Project B. Project A has $10,000 initial investment with $5,000 returns in each of the first 3 years. Project B has $55,000 initial investment with $20,000 in each of the first 3 years.”

The following is to be taken into account.

Inventory valuation at 30 June 2017 was $12 000

Jay decided to write off an irrecoverable receivable of $1 000. This should be accounted for as an administrative and selling expense.

The wages cost should be split equally between cost of sales and administrative and selling expenses.

Discounts allowed should be accounted for as an administrative and selling expense.

The bank loan was taken out on 1 July 2016

The depreciation charge for the year of $5 000 on property, plant and equipment has not yet been accounted for. It should be classified as a cost of sale.

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 $23.75 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:

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $349,000 which includes the following costs:

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

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 600 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N Ranch—a 54-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 $142.50 (600 square feet @ $23.75 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 8%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $108 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 8% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $37,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $37,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

At the beginning of the year, Young Company bought three used machines from Vince, Inc. The machines immediately were overhauled, were installed, and started operating. Because the machines were different, each was recorded separately in the accounts.

By the end of the first year, each machine had been operating 6,000 hours.

Required:

1. Compute the cost of each machine.
2. Prepare the journal entry to record depreciation expense at the end of year 1, assuming the following: TIP: Remember that the formula for double-declining-balance uses cost minus accumulated depreciation (not residual value).

Flexible Budget for Varying Levels of Activity Nashler Company has the following budgeted variable costs per unit produced: Direct materials $7.20 Direct labor 1.54 Variable overhead: Supplies 0.23 Maintenance 0.19 Power 0.18 Budgeted fixed overhead costs per month include supervision of $98,000, depreciation of $76,000, and other overhead of $245,000.

Prepare a performance report for Nashler Company comparing actual costs with the flexible budget for actual units produced. If there is no variance, enter "0" for the amount and select "NA" in the last column. Nashler Company Performance Report Actual Cost Flexible Budget Cost Variance Direct materials $ $ $ Favorable Direct labor Unfavorable Supplies Unfavorable Maintenance Favorable Power Favorable Supervision Unfavorable Depreciation NA Other overhead Favorable Total cost $ $ $ Unfavorable Feedback Budgets can be used to examine the efficiency and effectiveness of a company. 2.
