P4-37A Push-Down Accounting LO 4-7

On December 31, 20X6, Print Corporation and Size Company entered into a business combination in which Print acquired all of Size’s common stock for $958,000. At the date of combination, Size had common stock outstanding with a par value of $118,000, additional paid in capital of $419,000, and retained earnings of $176,000. The fair values and book values of all Size’s assets and liabilities were equal at the date of combination, except for the following:

The buildings had a remaining life of 15 years, and the equipment was expected to last another 5 years. In accounting for the business combination, Print decided to use push-down accounting on Size’s books.

During 20X7, Size earned net income of $104,000 and paid a dividend of $58,000. All of the inventory on hand at the end of 20X6 was sold during 20X7. During 20X8, Size earned net income of $106,000 and paid a dividend of $58,000.

Required:
a. Record the acquisition of Size's stock on Print's books on December 31, 20X6. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b. Record any entries that would be made on December 31, 20X6, on Size’s books related to the business combination if push-down accounting is employed. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

c. Present all consolidating entries that would appear in the worksheet to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the combination. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

d. Present all entries that Print would record during 20X7 related to its investment in Size if Print uses the equity-method of accounting for its investment. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

e. Present all consolidating entries that would appear in the worksheet to prepare a full set of consolidated financial statements for the year 20X7. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

f. Present all consolidating entries that would appear in the worksheet to prepare a full set of consolidated financial statements for the year 20X8. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

King City Specialty Bikes (KCSB) produces high-end bicycles. Costs to manufacture and market the bicycles at last year's volume level of 2,050 bicycles per month are shown in the following table:

KCSB expects to produce and sell 2,400 bicycles per month in the coming year. The bicycles sell for $610 each.

KCSB receives a proposal from an outside contractor who, for $160 per bicycle, will assemble 750 bicycles per month and ship them directly to KCSB's customers as orders are received from KCSB's sales force. KCSB would provide the materials for each bicycle, but the outside contractor would assemble, box, and ship the bicycles. The variable manufacturing costs would be reduced by 35% for the 750 bicycles assembled by the outside contractor, and variable nonmanufacturing costs for the 750 bicycles would be cut by 60%.

KCSB's marketing manager thinks that it could sell 85 specialty racing bicycles per month for $5,500 each, and its production manager thinks that it could use the idle resources to produce each of these bicycles for variable manufacturing costs of $4,400 per bicycle and variable nonmanufacturing costs of $300 per bicycle.

If KCSB accepts the proposal, it would be able to save $10,968 of fixed manufacturing costs; fixed nonmanufacturing costs would be unchanged.

REQUIRED [Note: Round unit cost computations to the nearest cent]

What is the difference in KCSB's monthly costs between accepting the proposal and rejecting the proposal?   (Note: If the costs of accepting the proposal are less than the costs of rejecting it, enter the difference as a positive number; if the accept costs are more than the reject costs, enter the difference as a negative number.)

Linkin Corporation is considering purchasing a new delivery truck. The truck has many advantages over the company’s current truck (not the least of which is that it runs). The new truck would cost $55,200. Because of the increased capacity, reduced maintenance costs, and increased fuel economy, the new truck is expected to generate cost savings of $8,600. At the end of 8 years the company will sell the truck for an estimated $28,900. Traditionally the company has used a rule of thumb that a proposal should not be accepted unless it has a payback period that is less than 50% of the asset’s estimated useful life. Larry Newton, a new manager, has suggested that the company should not rely solely on the payback approach, but should also employ the net present value method when evaluating new projects. The company’s cost of capital is 8%.

(a)

Compute the cash payback period and net present value of the proposed investment. (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answer for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Round answer for Payback period to 1 decimal place, e.g. 10.5. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.)

Making decisions often involves financial and nonfinancial factors. Provide a hypothetical example from your personal life of a situation in which you would consider both financial and nonfinancial factors. What factors would be considered?

Outback Outfitters sells recreational equipment. One of the company’s products, a small camp stove, sells for $100 per unit. Variable expenses are $70 per stove, and fixed expenses associated with the stove total $144,000 per month.

Required:

1. What is the break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales?

2. If the variable expenses per stove increase as a percentage of the selling price, will it result in a higher or a lower break-even point? (Assume that the fixed expenses remain unchanged.)

3. At present, the company is selling 20,000 stoves per month. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price would result in a 25% increase in monthly sales of stoves. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one under present operating conditions, and one as operations would appear after the proposed changes.

4. Refer to the data in Required 3. How many stoves would have to be sold at the new selling price to attain a target profit of $77,000 per month?

The general model for calculating a quantity variance is:

Multiple Choice

• Actual price × (Actual quantity of inputs used − Standard quantity allowed for output).

• Standard price × (Actual quantity of inputs used − Standard quantity allowed for output).

• (Actual quantity of inputs used × Actual price) − (Standard quantity allowed for output × Standard price).

• Actual quantity of inputs used × (Actual price − Standard price).

The following standards have been established for a raw material used to make product O84:

The following data pertain to a recent month's operations:

The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.

Required:

a. What is the materials price variance for the month?

b. What is the materials quantity variance for the month?

(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.)

Old Tyme Soda produces one flavor of a popular local soft drink. It had no work-in-process on October 31 in its only inventory account. During November, Old Tyme started 10,300 barrels. Work-in-process on November 30 is 1,350 barrels. The production supervisor estimates that the ending work-in-process inventory is 20 percent complete. An examination of Old Tyme’s accounting records shows direct material costs of $14,980 and conversion costs of $21,900 for November. All production is sold as it is produced. Required: a. Compute cost of goods sold for November. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. What is the value of work-in-process inventory on November 30? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products. Forbes Division, which has $4.02 million in assets, manufactures a special testing device. At the beginning of the current year, Forbes invested $5.09 million in automated equipment for test machine assembly. The division’s expected income statement at the beginning of the year was as follows.

A sales representative from LSI Machine Company approached Oscar in October. LSI has for $5.07 million a new assembly machine that offers significant improvements over the equipment Oscar bought at the beginning of the year. The new equipment would expand division output by 10 percent while reducing cash fixed costs by 5 percent. It would be depreciated for accounting purposes over a three-year life. Depreciation would be net of the $600,000 salvage value of the new machine. The new equipment meets Pitt's 12 percent cost of capital criterion. If Oscar purchases the new machine, it must be installed prior to the end of the year. For practical purposes, though, Oscar can ignore depreciation on the new machine because it will not go into operation until the start of the next year.

The old machine, which has no salvage value, must be disposed of to make room for the new machine.

Pitt has a performance evaluation and bonus plan based on residual income. Pitt uses a cost of capital of 12 percent in computing residual income. Income includes any losses on disposal of equipment. Investment is computed based on the end-of-year balance of assets, net book value. Ignore taxes.

Required:

a. What is Forbes Division’s residual income if Oscar does not acquire the new machine?

b. What is Forbes Division’s residual income this year if Oscar acquires the new machine?

c. If Oscar acquires the new machine and operates it according to specifications, what residual income is expected for next year?
