Petro Motors Inc. (PMI) produces small gasoline-powered motors for use in lawn mowers. The company has been growing steadily over the past five years and is operating at full capacity. PMI recently completed the addition of new plant and equipment at a cost of $7,800,000, thereby increasing its manufacturing capacity to 100,000 motors annually. The addition to plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

Sales of motors were 60,000 units prior to the completion of the additional capacity. Cost records indicated that manufacturing costs had totaled $60 per motor, of which $48 per motor was considered to be variable manufacturing costs. PMI has used the volume of activity at full capacity as the basis for applying fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price is $80 per motor, and PMI pays a 5% commission on the sale of its motors.

LawnPro.com offered to purchase 35,000 motors at a price of $60 per unit to test the viability of distributing lawn mower replacement motors through its website. PMI would be expected to produce the motors, store them in its warehouse, and ship individual motors to LawnPro.com customers. As orders are placed directly through the LawnPro.com website, they would be forwarded instantly to PMI. No commissions will be paid on this special sales order, and freight charges will be paid by the customer purchasing a motor.

A. Calculate the cost per motor, for cost accounting purposes, after completion of the additional plant capacity.

B. Should the offer from LawnPro.com be accepted?

C. If relevant cost analysis was not considered, is it likely that a correct special order analysis would have been made?

1) On January 1, Year 1, Shaq Co. acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of O’Neal Co. As part of the total consideration transferred, Shaq promised to the shareholders of O’Neal to issue on May 1, Year 2, additional 1,000 shares of common stock if the total consolidated net income for Year 1 is greater than $1Billion. The consolidated net income in Year 1 was $1.2 Billion.

The controller of Shaq Co. took the ACCY 410 class at the UIUC and remembers that this contingent consideration must be classified as equity (i.e., APIC) in the consolidated financial statements. However, the controller did not always come prepared to the class and does not remember whether this contingent consideration should be remeasured on 12/31/Year 1 or not.

Research and cite a specific paragraph in the Accounting Standard Codification that can help the controller to determine whether this contingent consideration should be remeasured at the year-end, or not. Unless specifically requested, your response should not cite implementation guidance and illustrations.

The payroll register consists of beginning and ending cumulative earnings, Current earnings, Taxable earnings, and deductions bringing you to the Net Pay amount. Be sure and watch for the maximum amounts on Social Security Taxable income and also Unemployment Taxable income. An example of a payroll register is in your textbook.

2. Prepare a general journal entry to record the payroll. The firm's general ledger contains a Wages Expense account and a Wages Payable account. Then assuming that the firm has transferred funds from its regular bank account to its special payroll bank account and that this entry has been made, prepare a general journal entry to record the payment of wages. When necessary, round your intermediate calculations and the final answers to the nearest cent. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

Decision on Accepting Additional Business

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 136,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 104,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $99 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 16,000 tires for $79.15 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Direct materials $38
Direct labor 14
Factory overhead (60% variable) 23
Selling and administrative expenses (30% variable) 20
Total $95

Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $5 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $83,200.

a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.
