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 $22.50 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 $366,000 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 52-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 $135.00 (600 square feet @ $22.50 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

The following letter was sent to the SEC and the FASB by leaders of the business community.

Dear Sirs:

The FASB has been struggling with accounting for derivatives and hedging for many years. The FASB has now developed, over the last few weeks, a new approach that it proposes to adopt as a final standard. We understand that the Board intends to adopt this new approach as a final standard without exposing it for public comment and debate, despite the evident complexity of the new approach, the speed with which it has been developed and the significant changes to the exposure draft since it was released more than one year ago. Instead, the Board plans to allow only a brief review by selected parties, limited to issues of operationality and clarity, and would exclude questions as to the merits of the proposed approach.

As the FASB itself has said throughout this process, its mission does not permit it to consider matters that go beyond accounting and reporting considerations. Accordingly, the FASB may not have adequately considered the wide range of concerns that have been expressed about the derivatives and hedging proposal, including concerns related to the potential impact on the capital markets, the weakening of companies’ ability to manage risk, and the adverse control implications of implementing costly and complex new rules imposed at the same time as other major initiatives, including the Year 2000 issues and a single European currency. We believe that these crucial issues must be considered, if not by the FASB, then by the Securities and Exchange Commission, other regulatory agencies, or Congress.

We believe it is essential that the FASB solicit all comments in order to identify and address all material issues that may exist before issuing a final standard. We understand the desire to bring this process to a prompt conclusion, but the underlying issues are so important to this nation’s businesses, the customers they serve and the economy as a whole that expediency cannot be the dominant consideration. As a result, we urge the FASB to expose its new proposal for public comment, following the established due process procedures that are essential to acceptance of its standards, and providing sufficient time to affected parties to understand and assess the new approach.

We also urge the SEC to study the comments received in order to assess the impact that these proposed rules may have on the capital markets, on companies’ risk management practices, and on management and financial controls. These vital public policy matters deserve consideration as part of the Commission’s oversight responsibilities.

We believe that these steps are essential if the FASB is to produce the best possible accounting standard while minimizing adverse economic effects and maintaining the competitiveness of U.S. businesses in the international marketplace.

Answer the following questions.

1. Explain the “due process” procedures followed by the FASB in developing a financial reporting standard.

2. What is meant by the term “economic consequences” in accounting standard-setting?

3. What economic consequences arguments are used in this letter?

4. What do you believe is the main point of the letter?

5. Why do you believe a copy of this letter was sent by the business community to influential members of the U.S. Congress?

On January 1, 2017, Corgan Company acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Smashing, Inc., for a total of $1,295,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Smashing had common stock of $880,000, retained earnings of $430,000, and a noncontrolling interest fair value of $555,000. Corgan attributed the excess of fair value over Smashing's book value to various covenants with a 20-year remaining life. Corgan uses the equity method to account for its investment in Smashing.

During the next two years, Smashing reported the following:

Corgan sells inventory to Smashing using a 60 percent markup on cost. At the end of 2017 and 2018, 50 percent of the current year purchases remain in Smashing's inventory.

   c. Happy Tails Inc. uses a subsidiary ledger for accounts payable for all of the following reasons EXCEPT:

The Charleston Metropolitan Transit System (CMTS) is facing an extreme financial crisis. Although federal subsidies make up some of the deficits not covered by fares, it is also necessary to cover some of the costs through local tax collections. For the past four years, these costs have been met through local sales and property taxes. Assume that your firm, Derrick Cheatham, and John, has been asked to serve as a consultant on future financing of CMTS’s operating deficit. In that capacity, please answer the following questions.

a. What criteria would you recommend for judging alternative taxing mechanism for meeting CMTS deficits?

b. Using the criteria you have established in part (a) evaluate the current form of tax collections.

Assume that you are the CEO of a small publicly traded company. The operating performance of your company has fallen below market expectations, which is reflected in a depressed stock price. At your direction, your CFO provides you with the following recommendations that are designed to increase your company’s return on net operating assets (RNOA) and your operating cash flows, both of which will, presumably, result in improved financial performance and an increased stock price. , LO#2.1 #3.1 1. To improved net cash flows from operating activities, the CFO recommends that your company reduce inventories (raw material, work-in-process, and finished goods) and receivables (through selective credit granting and increased emphasis on collection of past-due accounts). 2. The CFO recommends that your company sell and lease back its office building. The lease will be structure so as to be classified as an operating lease under GAAP. The assets will, therefore, not be iincluded in the computation of the net ooperating assets (NOA), thus increasing RNOA. Evaluate each of the CFO recommendations. In your evaluation consider whether the recommendation will positively impact the operating pperformance of your company or whether it is cosmetic in nature.
