Scobie Company began 2016 with a retained earnings balance of $142,400. During an examination of its accounting records on December 31, 2016, Scobie found it had made the following material errors, for both financial reporting and income tax reporting, during 2015.

1. Depreciation expense of $15,000 inadvertently had been recorded twice for the same machine.
2. No accrual had been made at year-end for interest; therefore, interest expense had been understated by $4,000.

Scobie’s net income after taxes during 2016 was $60,000. The company has been subject to a 30% income tax rate for the past several years. It declared and paid dividends of $13,000 during 2016.

Required:

1. Prepare whatever journal entries in 2016 are necessary to correct Scobie’s books for its previous errors. Make your corrections directly to the Retained Earnings account.
2. Prepare the statement of retained earnings for 2016.

To correct a prior period that has been closed, adjust the book values of the assets and liabilities so that their balances reflect the correct amounts. An offsetting adjustment is made to Retained Earnings for the cumulative effect of the adjustments for prior periods. In this problem you are instructed to record two entries rather than a compound entry so your journal should contain four entries for this problem.

Case Scenarios: 1

‘The Evolving Dimensions of The Accounting Profession andThe 21st Century Expectations’

(Jeremiah & Daferighe, 2019)

The dimension of the accountancy profession is undergoing an increasingly expanding and unpunctuated global evolution. These 21st-century twists, however, tend to pose an identity threat to the profession. The much-celebrated software substitution of the traditional roles of the Accountant coupled with the apparent professional cross-carpeting of non-accountants aided by these emerging digital initiatives appears to ‘take-over' the seat of the Accountant. The following roles were identified for the discussion.

Evolving Dimensions

THE 21ST CENTURY PERSPECTIVE

THE FUTURE IMPERATIVES

The Accountant as a Corporate Pathfinder

Embrace an enlarged strategic and commercial role

The Accountant as a Guardian of the Corporate Model

A vice president of marketing for your company has been charged with embezzling nearly $100,000 from the company. The vice president allegedly submitted fraudulent vendor invoices in order to receive payments. As the vice president of marketing for the company, the vice president is authorized to approve the payment of invoices submitted by third‐party vendors who did work for the company. After the activities were uncovered, the company responded by stating: “All employees are accountable to our ethics guidelines and procedures. We do not tolerate violations of our ethics policy and will consistently enforce these policies and procedures.” Use outside resources/references where applicable.

How would you evaluate the internal controls of the company?
Do you think there are companies that develop comprehensive ethics and compliance programs for mid‐ and lower‐level employees and ignore upper‐level executives and managers?
Is it an ethical issue if companies are not forthcoming concerning fraudulent activities of top executives in an effort to minimize negative publicity?

Scribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments—Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for March for the Drying Department follow:

Percent Completed
Units Pulping Conversion
Work in process inventory, March 1 3,600 100 % 80 %
Work in process inventory, March 31 7,700 100 % 70 %
Pulping cost in work in process inventory, March 1 $ 1,584
Conversion cost in work in process inventory, March 1 $ 936
Units transferred to the next production department 148,300
Pulping cost added during March $ 70,176
Conversion cost added during March $ 45,171

No materials are added in the Drying Department. Pulping cost represents the costs of the wet fibers transferred in from the Pulping Department. Wet fiber is processed in the Drying Department in batches; each unit in the above table is a batch and one batch of wet fibers produces a set amount of dried paper that is passed on to the Finishing Department.

Required:

1. Compute the Drying Department's equivalent units of production for pulping and conversion in March.

2. Compute the Drying Department's cost per equivalent unit for pulping and conversion in March.

3. Compute the Drying Department's cost of ending work in process inventory for pulping, conversion, and in total for March.

4. Compute the Drying Department's cost of units transferred out to the Finishing Department for pulping, conversion, and in total in March.

5. Prepare a cost reconciliation report for the Drying Department for March.

Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts—the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,704,000
Cost of goods sold 1,218,840
Gross margin 485,160
Selling and administrative expenses 560,000
Net operating loss $ (74,840 )

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,200 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,500 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,800 $ 162,500 $ 563,300
Direct labor $ 120,800 $ 42,300 163,100
Manufacturing overhead 492,440
Cost of goods sold $ 1,218,840

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $57,000 and $102,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Manufacturing
Overhead

Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) B300 T500 Total
Machining (machine-hours) $ 201,960 90,900 62,100 153,000

Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,400 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,600 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 492,440

Required:

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.
