Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Elegant Decor Company’s management is trying to decide whether to eliminate Department 200, which has produced losses or low profits for several years. The company’s 2017 departmental income statements shows the following. ELEGANT DECOR COMPANY Departmental Income Statements For Year Ended December 31, 2017 Dept. 100 Dept. 200 Combined Sales $ 440,000 $ 289,000 $ 729,000 Cost of goods sold 265,000 213,000 478,000 Gross profit 175,000 76,000 251,000 Operating expenses Direct expenses Advertising 16,500 13,000 29,500 Store supplies used 5,000 4,600 9,600 Depreciation—Store equipment 4,800 3,100 7,900 Total direct expenses 26,300 20,700 47,000 Allocated expenses Sales salaries 78,000 46,800 124,800 Rent expense 9,410 4,780 14,190 Bad debts expense 9,900 7,500 17,400 Office salary 15,600 10,400 26,000 Insurance expense 2,100 1,300 3,400 Miscellaneous office expenses 2,100 1,400 3,500 Total allocated expenses 117,110 72,180 189,290 Total expenses 143,410 92,880 236,290 Net income (loss) $ 31,590 $ (16,880 ) $ 14,710 In analyzing whether to eliminate Department 200, management considers the following: The company has one office worker who earns $500 per week, or $26,000 per year, and four sales clerks who each earn $600 per week, or $31,200 per year for each salesclerk. The full salaries of two salesclerks are charged to Department 100. The full salary of one salesclerk is charged to Department 200. The salary of the fourth clerk, who works half-time in both departments, is divided evenly between the two departments. Eliminating Department 200 would avoid the sales salaries and the office salary currently allocated to it. However, management prefers another plan. Two salesclerks have indicated that they will be quitting soon. Management believes that their work can be done by the other two clerks if the one office worker works in sales half-time. Eliminating Department 200 will allow this shift of duties. If this change is implemented, half the office worker’s salary would be reported as sales salaries and half would be reported as office salary. The store building is rented under a long-term lease that cannot be changed. Therefore, Department 100 will use the space and equipment currently used by Department 200. Closing Department 200 will eliminate its expenses for advertising, bad debts, and store supplies; 75% of the insurance expense allocated to it to cover its merchandise inventory; and 21% of the miscellaneous office expenses presently allocated to it. Required: 1. Complete the following report showing total expenses, expenses that would be eliminated by closing Department 200 and the expenses that would continue. The statement should reflect the reassignment of the office worker to one-half time as salesclerk.

Exercise 12-3 (Video) Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $240,352. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7: Year 1 $390,600 2 400,200 3 410,000 4 425,200 5 432,400 6 435,500 7 436,300 The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $380,500. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $94,900 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%. Click here to view PV table.

Smart Company prepared its annual financial statements dated December 31. The company reported its inventory using the FIFO inventory costing method and failed to evaluate its net realizable value at December 31. The preliminary income statement follows: Sales Revenue $ 302,000 Cost of Goods Sold Beginning Inventory $ 41,000 Purchases 204,000 Goods Available for Sale 245,000 Ending Inventory 95,400 Cost of Goods Sold 149,600 Gross Profit 152,400 Operating Expenses 72,000 Income from Operations 80,400 Income Tax Expense (30%) 24,120 Net Income $ 56,280 Assume you have been asked to restate the financial statements to incorporate LCM/NRV. You have developed the following data relating to the ending inventory: Item Quantity Purchase Cost Net Realizable Value per Unit Per Unit Total A 3,000 $ 5 $ 15,000 $ 6 B 2,000 8 16,000 6 C 8,100 4 32,400 6 D 3,200 10 32,000 7 $ 95,400 TIP: Inventory write-downs do not affect the cost of goods available for sale. Instead, the effect of the write-down is to reduce ending inventory, which increases Cost of Goods Sold and then affects other amounts in the income statement.
