Ealing Company began operations as a new subsidiary of Fundamental Company, a U.S. Corporation, on January 2, 2018, by issuing common stock for 180,000 foreign currency units (FCU). Ealing immediately borrowed 35,000 FCU with a 10-year, 10% note, interest payable annually on January 1. On the same date, Ealing bought a building for 200,000 FCU. The building was to be depreciated for 20 years on a straight-line basis with a residual value of 40,000 FCU.
During the year, the building was rented for 9,000 FCU per month. At year's end, all rent had been collected.
On May 1 a repair on the building of 15,000 FCU was completed and paid for. Land for a parking lot was acquired for 30,000 FCU in cash on June 1.
A dividend of 20,000 FCU was declared and paid on December 1.


Exchange rates for the year were as follows:
January 2, 2018 1 FCU = $.30

May 1, 2018 1 FCU = .37

June 1, 2018 1 FCU = .38

November 1, 2018 1 FCU = .41

December 1, 2018 1 FCU = .39

December 31, 2018 1 FCU = .35

average for 2018 1 FCU = .36


Fundamental company determined that the FCU was the functional currency and translation using the current rate method was appropriate for consolidation. Calculate the translation adjustment for 2018. (You might remember that the translation adjustment uses the net assets approach, not the net monetary assets approach.)

Question

You are the manager. What information should you request from the management accounting department? How will this information help you make a decision to solve this problem? If you use outside resources, please cite them using APA format.

Managerial Accounting Scenario 1
The manager of a fabric store has noticed a considerable increase in the amount of defective fabric being scrapped by his store. Clerks notice the defects (such as irregularities in the weave or color of fabric) when they cut yardage from bolts of fabric. These defects usually affect only a small portion of the fabric on a bolt. Therefore, when a clerk discovers a defect, the “bad spot” is cut from the bolt. The clerk fills out a defect slip, which includes the amount of defective fabric (in yards), the retail price per yard, and the inventory control number. The defect slip is attached to the fabric and put in a “defects” bin in the storeroom. Once a month, the assistant manager sends the defect slips to the accounting department and packages the bad fabric for sale as scrap material. The accounting department uses the defect slips to write off the defective inventory in the accounting records.
What information could the manager request from the management accounting department that might help in attacking the problem of increasing defects?
Managerial Accounting Scenario 2
The top management of a fast-food hamburger chain is considering installing point-of-sale machines that will allow customers to pay for food with an automated teller-machine card. Previously, the restaurant has accepted only cash.
What information could the management accounting department supply to assist management with this decision?
Managerial Accounting Scenario 3
B Squared Inc. manufactures and sells awnings all over the southeastern United States. Each state has a sales representative who is paid on commissions. Each salesperson is responsible for checking the credit of customers as part of the sales process. Buddy has been the top salesman for the past 5 years in a row. You have been hired as the new sales manager and after meeting with your sales representatives, there are some questions being raised as to why Buddy is the top salesperson and the legitimacy of some of the sales being reported. What information would you request from the accounting department to help confirm or negate these accusations?
Managerial Accounting Scenario 4
You are the newly hired production manager for the XYZ Company manufacturing plant and have been ask by the VP of manufacturing to provide a budget for the next quarter production for overhead cost. What information will you need from accounting to assist in building this report?
Managerial Accounting Scenario 5
You are the newly hired production manager for the XYZ Company manufacturing plant and have been ask by the VP of manufacturing to provide a budget for the next quarter production for prime cost. What information will you need from accounting to assist in building this report?

Fixed and Variable Cost Allocation

Kumar, Inc., evaluates managers of producing departments on their ability to control costs. In addition to the costs directly traceable to their departments, each production manager is held responsible for a share of the costs of a support center, the Human Resources (HR) Department. The total costs of HR are allocated on the basis of actual direct labor hours used. The total costs of HR and the actual direct labor hours worked by each producing department are as follows:

           Year 1 Year 2
Direct labor hours worked:
    Department A 33,000 34,000
    Department B 36,000 34,000
Total hours 69,000 68,000
Actual HR cost $122,250 $122,250
Budgeted HR cost 117,250* 117,000*

*$0.25 per direct labor hour plus $100,000.

When the capacity of the HR Department was originally established, the normal usage expected for each department was 18,000 direct labor hours. This usage is also the amount of activity planned for the two departments in Year 1 and Year 2.

Required:

1. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is product costing.

Department A Department B
Variable costs $ $
Fixed costs
Total cost $ $

2. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is to evaluate performance.

Characteristics of Production Process, Cost Measurement

Vince Melders, of EcoScape Company, designs and installs custom lawn and garden irrigation systems for homes and businesses throughout the state. Each job is different, requiring different materials and labor for installing the systems. EcoScape estimated the following for the year:

Number of direct labor hours 6,720
Direct labor cost $67,200
Overhead cost $50,400

During the year, the following actual amounts were experienced:

Number of direct labor hours 6,045
Direct labor incurred $66,495
Overhead incurred $50,500

Vince Melders, owner of EcoScape, noticed that the watering systems for many houses in a local subdivision had the same layout and required virtually identical amounts of prime cost. Vince met with the subdivision builders and offered to install a basic watering system in each house. The idea was accepted enthusiastically, so Vince created a new company, Irrigation Specialties, to handle the subdivision business. In its first three months in business, Irrigation Specialties experienced the following:

June July August
Number of systems installed 48 68 88
Direct materials used $12,096 $17,136 $22,176
Direct labor incurred $8,064 $11,424 $14,784
Overhead $7,257.60 $7,996.80 $8,870.40

Required:

1. Should Irrigation Specialties use process costing or job-order costing?

2. If Irrigation Specialties uses an actual costing system, what is the cost of a single system installed in June? In July? In August? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

June $ per system
July $ per system
August $ per system

3. Now assume that Irrigation Specialties uses a normal costing system. Estimated overhead for the year is $57,800, and estimated production is 680 watering systems. What is the predetermined overhead rate per system?

$ per system installed

What is the cost of a single system installed in June? In July? In August?

June $ per system
July $ per system
August $ per system
