The following data relate to the operations of Shilow Company, a wholesale distributor of consumer goods:

The gross margin is 25% of sales.

Actual and budgeted sales data:

Sales are 60% for cash and 40% on credit. Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at March 31 are a result of March credit sales.

Each month’s ending inventory should equal 80% of the following month’s budgeted cost of goods sold.

One-half of a month’s inventory purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable at March 31 are the result of March purchases of inventory.

Monthly expenses are as follows: commissions, 12% of sales; rent, $1,900 per month; other expenses (excluding depreciation), 6% of sales. Assume that these expenses are paid monthly. Depreciation is $918 per month (includes depreciation on new assets).

Equipment costing $1,100 will be purchased for cash in April.

Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $4,000 at the end of each month. The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $20,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. The company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumulated interest at the end of the quarter.

Required:

Using the preceding data:

1. Complete the schedule of expected cash collections.

2. Complete the merchandise purchases budget and the schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases.

3. Complete the cash budget.

4. Prepare an absorption costing income statement for the quarter ended June 30.

5. Prepare a balance sheet as of June 30.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $30 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally: Per Unit 13,000 Units per Year Direct materials $ 13 $ 169,000 Direct labor 9 117,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 3 39,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 3 * 39,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 6 78,000 Total cost $ 34 $ 442,000 *One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value). Required: 1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 13,000 carburetors from the outside supplier? 2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted? 3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $130,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 13,000 carburetors from the outside supplier? 4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

Garfun, Inc., owns all of the stock of Simon, Inc. For 2018, Garfun reports income (exclusive of any investment income) of $480,000. Garfun has 80,000 shares of common stock outstanding. It also has 5,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding that pay a dividend of $15,000 per year. Simon reports net income of $290,000 for the period with 80,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Simon also has a liability for 10,000 of $100 bonds that pay annual interest of $8 per bond. Each of these bonds can be converted into three shares of common stock. Garfun owns none of these bonds. Assume a tax rate of 30 percent. What amount should Garfun report as diluted earnings per share? (Round your intermediate percentage value to the nearest whole number and the final answer to 2 decimal places.)

X Company is planning to stop the production and sale of Product Q, which lost $12,000 last year. If Product Q is dropped, two things will happen in each of the next four years: 1) last year's loss will be avoided, and 2) sales of Product R will be increased, contributing $12,000 to annual profits. In addition, if Product Q is dropped, the company will be able to sell some equipment immediately for $17,000. Assuming a discount rate of 4%, what is the net present value of stopping the production and sale of Product Q?

X Company must decide whether to continue using its current equipment or replace it with new, more efficient equipment. The following information is available for the current and new equipment:

On January 1, 2017, Alison, Inc., paid $70,500 for a 40 percent interest in Holister Corporation’s common stock. This investee had assets with a book value of $224,500 and liabilities of $96,500. A patent held by Holister having a $13,300 book value was actually worth $41,800. This patent had a six-year remaining life. Any further excess cost associated with this acquisition was attributed to goodwill. During 2017, Holister earned income of $51,500 and declared and paid dividends of $17,000. In 2018, it had income of $70,500 and dividends of $22,000. During 2018, the fair value of Allison’s investment in Holister had risen from $85,700 to $93,300.

a. Assuming Alison uses the equity method, what balance should appear in the Investment in Holister account as of December 31, 2018?

b. Assuming Alison uses fair-value accounting, what income from the investment in Holister should be reported for 2018

X Company currently makes a part and is considering buying it next year from a company that has offered to supply it for $16.00 per unit. This year, total costs to produce 53,000 units were:

If X Company buys the part, it can avoid $23,532 of the fixed overhead. The resources that will become idle if they choose to buy the part can be used to increase production of another product, resulting in additional total contribution margin of $60,000.

The marketing manager is uncertain what demand will be next year. What level of demand will make the company indifferent between making the part and buying it?
