The following information was available to reconcile Montrose Company’s book balance of Cash with its bank statement balance as of October 31, 2017:

a.

After all posting was completed on October 31, the company’s Cash account had a $17,673 debit balance, but its bank statement showed a $39,247 balance.

b.

Cheques #296 for $1,784 and #307 for $17,056 were outstanding on the September 30 bank reconciliation. Cheque #307 was returned with the October cancelled cheques, but cheque #296 was not. It was also found that cheque #315 for $1,194 and cheque #321 for $2,675, both written in October, were not among the cancelled cheques returned with the statement.

c.

In comparing the cancelled cheques returned by the bank with the entries in the accounting records, it was found that cheque #320 for the October rent was correctly written for $5,080 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $5,800.

d.

A credit memo enclosed with the bank statement indicated that there was an electronic fund transfer related to a customer payment for $22,900. A $160 bank service charge was deducted. This transaction was not recorded by Montrose before receiving the bank statement.

e.

A debit memo for $4,335 listed a $4,269 NSF cheque plus a $66 NSF charge. The cheque had been received from a customer, Jefferson Tyler. Montrose had not recorded this bounced cheque before receiving the statement.

f.

Also enclosed with the statement was a $99 debit memo for bank services. It had not been recorded because no previous notification had been received.

g.

The October 31 cash receipts, $3,105, were placed in the bank’s night depository after banking hours on that date and this amount did not appear on the bank statement.


Required:
1.

The St. Lucia Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported by government grants, is located on...

The St. Lucia Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported by government grants, is located on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The blood bank has just finished its operations for September, which was a particularly busy month due to a powerful hurricane that hit neighboring islands causing many injuries. The hurricane largely bypassed St. Lucia, but residents of St. Lucia willingly donated their blood to help people on other islands. As a consequence, the blood bank collected and processed over 20% more blood than had been originally planned for the month.

A report prepared by a government official comparing actual costs to budgeted costs for the blood bank appears below. Continued support from the government depends on the blood bank’s ability to demonstrate control over its costs.

Administration 14,705 14,520 185 U
Total expense $ 41,211 $ 36,440 $ 4,771 U

The managing director of the blood bank was very unhappy with this report, claiming that his costs were higher than expected due to the emergency on the neighboring islands. He also pointed out that the additional costs had been fully covered by payments from grateful recipients on the other islands. The government official who prepared the report countered that all of the figures had been submitted by the blood bank to the government; he was just pointing out that actual costs were a lot higher than promised in the budget.

The following cost formulas were used to construct the planning budget:

Cost Formulas
Medical supplies $11.85q
Lab tests $14.25q
Equipment depreciation $1,600
Rent $1,700
Utilities $350
Administration $1.60q

Required:

1. Complete the performance report for September using the flexible budget approach. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.

Your company is considering purchasing a new bottling machine for the line that manufactures juice products....

Your company is considering purchasing a new bottling machine for the line that manufactures juice products. This Swill Fill 2000 is forecast to last for five years and will cost $42,000 to purchase. The new machine will offer labor savings of $4,500 annually through faster changeovers and will save you $5,000 per year in maintenance costs vs. your existing machine. The existing machine does not exhibit unusual wear-and-tear and should be able to go for another five years as well.

Your internal hurdle rate is 12%. Should you go forward with the purchase?

If we assume that the machine can outlive its useful life as stated in the problem above, what is our simple payback period? What is our discounted payback period? Please build a table to demonstrate the payback period over time at least through the point in time where the discounted payback period turns positive.

How do they measure and report profit? How is equity and ownership reported? Reflect on your future career goals as an accountant. It is obvious that both non-profit and for-profit businesses need accountants; but, how does their focus and job differ? Do non-profit businesses pay competitively to for-profit businesses? Now that you have compared the two business types and the role accountants play along with their compensation, where do you see yourself fitting and why?

Problem 11-48 Step Method with Three Service Depagrtments (LO 11-3)

Model, Inc., produces model automobiles made from metal. It operates two production departments, Molding and Painting, and has three service departments, Administration, Accounting, and Maintenance. The accumulated costs in the three service departments were $255,000, $416,000, and $191,000, respectively. Management is concerned that the costs of its service departments are getting too high. In particular, managers would like to keep the costs of service departments under $3.50 per unit on average. You have been asked to allocate service department costs to the two production departments and compute the unit costs.

The company decided that Administration costs should be allocated on the basis of square footage used by each production and service department. Accounting costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees. Maintenance costs are allocated on the basis of the dollar value of the equipment in each department. The use of each base by all departments during the current period follows:  
  

Used by
Allocation Base Administration Accounting Maintenance Molding Painting
Building area 11,000 61,100 47,000 329,000 32,900
Employees 28 16 56 126 70
Equipment value (in thousands) $ 50.00 $ 200.00 $ 15.50 $ 150.00 $ 50.00

Direct costs of the Molding Department included $242,500 in direct materials, $340,000 in direct labor, and $105,000 in overhead. The Painting Department’s direct costs consisted of $208,000 in direct materials, $222,000 in direct labor, and $67,500 in overhead.

  
Required:

a. Using the step method, determine the allocated costs and the total costs in each of the two producing departments. Ignore self-usage (for example, ignore work done by Administration for itself). Rank order the allocation as follows: (1) Maintenance, (2) Accounting, and (3) Administration. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

The Williams Company, a U.S.-based company, owns 100% of a European Subsidiary (ES). The investment in ES totals $10 million (euros 13.5 million) as of the end of Year 1. This represents an initial investment of $6 million and retained earnings of $4 million. The Currency Translation Adjustment (CTA) account included in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) totals $1 million (loss) at the end of Year 1.

During Year 2, Williams decided to sell 25% of ES to the Tremont Company, an unrelated U.S.-based Company for $15 million in cash. The closing date of the transaction is June 30 of Year 2. Earnings of ES for the six months of Year 2 are $1 million and there was an additional increase of $200,000 in the CTA during the first six months of Year 2. No dividends have been paid by ES to Williams.

Instructions:

  1. Calculate the gain or the loss on the partial disposal by Williams of ES as of June 30, Year 2, under both the US GAAP and IFRS. Make sure you show the details of both calculations and provide authoritative references supporting the basis and the reasoning for each of your calculations.
  2. Assume that during January Year 2, ES paid a dividend to Williams of euro 6.75 million ($5 million). How would that dividend be treated by Williams under both the US GAAP and IFRS? What impact, if any, would this dividend have on the CTA account of Williams under both the US GAAP and IFRS? Make sure you show the details of any calculations and provide authoritative references supporting the basis and the reasoning for each of your calculations, if any.
  3. Assume that Williams’s investment in ES totals $6 million, the amount of the original investment. ES had not made any money since being formed by Williams as of December 31, Year 1, management has decided to sell ES, and to evaluate ES for any impairment charge in its Year 1 financial statements. The CTA totals $1 million at the end of Year 1. How would the evaluation of ES differ under the US GAAP and IFRS? Make sure you show the details of any calculations supported by authoritative references when answering this question.
  • Your submission should be a minimum of 3 pages in length, not including the required cover and reference pages. Longer submissions are permissible.
