Sales Territory and Salesperson Profitability Analysis

Havasu Off-Road Inc. manufactures and sells a variety of commercial vehicles in the Northeast and Southwest regions. There are two salespersons assigned to each territory. Higher commission rates go to the most experienced salespersons. The following sales statistics are available for each salesperson:

a. 1. Prepare a contribution margin by salesperson report. Calculate the contribution margin ratio for each salesperson.

a. 2. Interpret the report.

Paul earns the highest  contribution margin and has the highest  contribution margin ratio. This is because he sells the most  units, has a low  commission rate, and sells a product mix with a high  manufacturing margin. Steve also sells products with a high  average manufacturing margin but at a high  commission rate. Colleen has the poorest  contribution margin ratio among the four salespersons. Although Rene has a high variable cost of goods sold and also sells products with a low  average sales price per unit, she has the second highest  total contribution margin.

b. 1. Prepare a contribution margin by territory report. Calculate the contribution margin for each territory as a percent, rounded to one decimal place.

b. 2. Interpret the report.

The Southwest Region has $ more sales and $ more contribution margin. In the Southwest Region, the salesperson with the highest sales unit volume, has the highest  contribution margin ratio. The Southwest Region has the highest  performance, even though it also has the salesperson with the lowest  contribution margin and contribution margin ratio. The Northeast Region contribution margin is less  than the Southwest Region because of the outstanding performance of Paul .

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:

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.

For each of the following independent income-sharing agreements, prepare an income distribution schedule.

a. Salaries are $15,600 to Eastwood, $20,900 to North, and $18,700 to West. Eastwood receives a bonus of 5 percent of net income after deducting his bonus. Interest is 10 percent of ending capital balances. Eastwood, North, and West divide any remainder in a 3:3:4 ratio, respectively. Net income was $78,330. (Amounts that are to be deducted from an individual partner's capital balance should be entered with a minus sign.)

1. Jen Psaki, an auditor with Martinez CPAs, is performing a review of Sergei Company's inventory account. Sergei's did not have a good year and top management is under pressure to boost reported income. According to its records, the inventory balance at year-end was $835,000. However, the following information was not considered when determining that amount.

• Included in the company's count were goods with a cost of $200,000 that the company is holding on consignment. The goods belong to Bosnia Corporation.
• The physical count did not include goods purchased by Sergei with a cost of $40,000 that were shipped FOB shipping point on December 28 and did not arrive at Sergei's warehouse until January 3.
• Included in the inventory account was $15,000 of office supplies that were stored in the warehouse and were to be used by the company's supervisors and managers during the coming year.
• The company received an order on December 28 that was boxed and was sitting on the loading dock awaiting pick-up on December 31. The shipper picked up the goods on January 1 and delivered them on January 6. The shipping terms were FOB shipping point. The goods had a selling price of $40,000 and a cost of $30,000. The goods were not included in the count because they were sitting on the dock.
• On December 29, Sergei shipped goods with a selling price of $100,000 and a cost of $80,000 to Oman Sales Corporation FOB shipping point. The goods arrived on January 3. Oman Sales had only ordered goods with a selling price of $10,000 and a cost of $8,000. However, a Sergei's sales manager had authorized the shipment and said that if Oman wanted to ship the goods back next week, it could.
• Included in the count was $30,000 of goods that were parts for a machine that the company no longer made. Given the high-tech nature of Sergei's products, it was unlikely that these obsolete parts had any other use. However, management would prefer to keep them on the books at cost, “since that is what we paid for them, after all.”

INSTRUCTIONS: Prepare a schedule to determine the correct inventory amount. Provide explanations for each item above, saying why you did or did not make an adjustment for each item.
