Leases are one of the most common means by which companies obtain the use of long term operating assets. Lets look at the airline industry and the effect of leasing. What you believe are the benefits if any as airlines decide to lease versus buying assets? Why or why not?

Percentage Method

The percentage method is used when an employee's wages exceed the Publication 15 tables provided. The process for this method is to take the earnings, subtract the allowances the employee declared on their W-4 which results in the wages upon which taxes will be computed.

Wage Example's sister-in-law Perfect is married and claims 3 allowances. She earns $4,140.75 biweekly.

1. 	Description			Calculation
   1.	Determine the amount of gross wages. $4,140.75, rounded to the nearest dollar.			$4,141.00
   2.	Determine the allowancea amount based on the payroll period.	$161.50
   3.	Multiply the allowance value by the employee allowances claimed.	× 3		(484.50)
   4.	Subtract allowances from gross pay, referred to as excess wages.			$3,656.50
   5.	Using the percentage_table, identify the correct bracket. Wages starting at $3,490 but not over $6,931.	$3,656.50 (3,490.00)
   6.	Compute the excess wage over the starting wage for this bracket.	$166.50
   7.	Multiply the excess by the tax rate in the table (22%)	x .22		$36.63
   8.	Add the bracket minimum tax, $349.40			349.40
   9.	Add the two amounts together which equals Perfect's total withholding.			$386.03
   	a Refer to the Table of Allowance Values for 2019. Perfect is paid biweekly which corresponds to a biweekly allowance of $161.50 per allowance claimed.

Bank Reconciliation and Entries The cash account for Pala Medical Co. at June 30, 20Y1, indicated a balance of $9,335. The bank statement indicated a balance of $10,710 on June 30, 20Y1. Comparing the bank statement and the accompanying canceled checks and memos with the records revealed the following reconciling items: Checks outstanding totaled $3,860. A deposit of $4,020, representing receipts of June 30, had been made too late to appear on the bank statement. The bank collected $2,090 on a $1,980 note, including interest of $110. A check for $550 returned with the statement had been incorrectly recorded by Pala Medical Co. as $500. The check was for the payment of an obligation to Skyline Supply Co. for a purchase on account. A check drawn for $50 had been erroneously charged by the bank as $500. Bank service charges for June amounted to $55. Required: 1. Prepare a bank reconciliation. Pala Medical Co.

Andretti Company has a single product called a Dak. The company normally produces and sells 88,000 Daks each year at a selling price of $62 per unit. The company’s unit costs at this level of activity are given below:

A number of questions relating to the production and sale of Daks follow. Each question is independent.

Required:

1-a. Assume that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 118,800 Daks each year without any increase in fixed manufacturing overhead costs. The company could increase its unit sales by 35% above the present 88,000 units each year if it were willing to increase the fixed selling expenses by $110,000. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of investing an additional $110,000 in fixed selling expenses?

1-b. Would the additional investment be justified?

2. Assume again that Andretti Company has sufficient capacity to produce 118,800 Daks each year. A customer in a foreign market wants to purchase 30,800 Daks. If Andretti accepts this order it would have to pay import duties on the Daks of $2.70 per unit and an additional $21,560 for permits and licenses. The only selling costs that would be associated with the order would be $2.00 per unit shipping cost. What is the break-even price per unit on this order?

3. The company has 800 Daks on hand that have some irregularities and are therefore considered to be "seconds." Due to the irregularities, it will be impossible to sell these units at the normal price through regular distribution channels. What is the unit cost figure that is relevant for setting a minimum selling price?

4. Due to a strike in its supplier’s plant, Andretti Company is unable to purchase more material for the production of Daks. The strike is expected to last for two months. Andretti Company has enough material on hand to operate at 25% of normal levels for the two-month period. As an alternative, Andretti could close its plant down entirely for the two months. If the plant were closed, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would continue at 30% of their normal level during the two-month period and the fixed selling expenses would be reduced by 20% during the two-month period.

a. How much total contribution margin will Andretti forgo if it closes the plant for two months?

b. How much total fixed cost will the company avoid if it closes the plant for two months?

c. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of closing the plant for the two-month period?

d. Should Andretti close the plant for two months?

5. An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 88,000 Daks and ship them directly to Andretti’s customers. If Andretti Company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce Daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 30%. Because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. What is Andretti’s avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?

Income Statements under Absorption Costing and Variable Costing

Joplin Industries Inc. manufactures and sells high-quality sporting goods equipment under its highly recognizable J-Sports logo. The company began operations on May 1 and operated at 100% of capacity (61,600 units) during the first month, creating an ending inventory of 5,600 units. During June, the company produced 56,000 garments during the month but sold 61,600 units at $90 per unit. The June manufacturing costs and selling and administrative expenses were as follows:

a. Prepare an income statement according to the absorption costing concept for June.

Anteium Company owes $81,100 on a note payable that is currently due. The note is held by a local bank and is secured by a mortgage lien attached to three acres of land worth $48,500. The land originally cost Anteium $31,500 when acquired several years ago. The only other account balances for this company are Investments of $22,600 (but worth $27,600), Accounts Payable of $22,200, Common Stock of $41,200, and a deficit of $89,400. Anteium is insolvent and attempting to arrange a reorganization so that the business can continue to operate. The reorganization value of the company is $83,500.

View each of the following as an independent situation:

1. On a statement of financial affairs, how would this note be reported? How would the land be shown?

2. Assume that Anteium develops an acceptable reorganization plan. Sixty percent of the common stock is transferred to the bank to settle that particular obligation. A 7 percent, three-year note payable for $5,160 is used to settle the accounts payable. How would Anteium record the reorganization?

3. Assume that Anteium is liquidated. The land and investments are sold for $50,500 and $28,600, respectively. Administrative expenses amount to $13,400. How much will the various parties collect?

a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?

Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company’s operations.

Total estimated overhead costs are $ 297,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $ 189,000, and $ 108,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.

Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
