Introduction

You are a financial planner and a new client, Kristina came to your office with the following question: How much should she save annually given her goals?

• Kristina is saving for two goals: one is to fund her child Katryna’s college education and the other is to retire.
• Katryna will begin college in exactly 18 years, and Kristina will retire on the same day.
• College costs for state institutions are currently running at $6,000 per year, and have historically increased at a rate of 5% per year.
• Kristina will pay for a 4-year undergraduate education.
• Kristina estimates she will live 30-year past her retirement, during which time she would like to pay herself a $60,000 per year salary (first payment occurs at the end of year 18, or beginning of year 19).
• On the day she retires, Kristina would like to pay cash for a BMW Z4 convertible or whatever similar model BMW produces at that time. A Z4 cost $55,000 and BMW has increased price at a rate of 7% per year.
• Kristina will save annually beginning in exactly one year—18 equal payments spread over time.
• The date of the last savings installment coincides with the first tuition payment (and the day of Kristina retirement).
• Kristina estimates an 8% expected return on all investments over the period.
• How much does she have to save each year to accomplish the above goals?

Step 1: What will be the value of the Z4 of equivalent at the time of purchase? 10 points

Step 2: What will be the value of the 4 annual tuition payments? 15 points

Step 3: What will be the present value of the 4 annual tuition payments? 10 points

Step 4: What will be the present value of the 30 years of salary payments? 10 points

Step 5: What will be the value of Kristina’s savings when she retires? 10 points

Step 6: How much does Kristina need to save every year? 10 points

Step 7: Create a table showing all the additions and subtraction to the savings accounts and the value at the end of each year. (Hint: the value should be close to zero at the end) 25 points

Scenario 1 - Ethical Dilemma - Reclassify Employees

You are on the management team of Crystal Clear Electronics (CCE) Inc., a company that specializes in high-quality home theater systems. In addition to selling these systems, CCE provides custom installation on all purchases and is known for the professionalism of its installation staff. This reputation is due to the rigorous policies its home installation staff must follow. All employees are required to attend bi-monthly training sessions, wear CCE uniforms, observe the installation dates and times agreed on by CCE and the customer, and follow any instructions given by CCE as to how to perform the installation.

Faced with shrinking margins and cash flow problems, CCE is looking to cut costs and increase cash flows. You realize that by reclassifying the installation staff as independent contractors, CCE will be able to accomplish both objectives. Because the installation staff would be independent contractors, the company would not have to pay payroll taxes, social security, and Medicare expenses. The reduction in these costs and the corresponding increase in cash flow would certainly help the company's liquidity. Furthermore, such a change would not affect the quality of the service provided and would be virtually invisible to customers.

Question: Discuss the ethical implications of this reclassification.

Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Required:

1. Complete the following:

a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable and absorption costing net operating income (loss) figures.

3. During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 31,800 units but sold 34,800 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.)

a. What is the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for the second quarter.

Munoz Company produces commercial gardening equipment. Since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. The costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow:

Production of 860 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 250 labor hours and 9 setups and consumed 20 percent of the product-sustaining activities.

Required

1. Had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears?

2. How much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing?

3. Compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 860 units are produced. If direct product costs are $120 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system?

Compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 860 units are produced.

Harmer Inc. is now a successful company. In the early days (before it became profitable), it issued ISOs to its employees. Now Harmer is trying to decide whether to issue NQOs or ISOs to its employees. Initially, Harmer would like to give each employee 20 options (each option allows the employee to acquire one share of Harmer stock). For purposes of this problem, assume that the options are exercised in three years (three years from now) and that the underlying stock is sold in five years (five years from now). Assume that taxes are paid at the same time the income generating the tax is recognized. Also assume the following facts: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.)

• The after-tax discount rate for both Harmer Inc. and its employees is 10 percent.
• The Corporate tax rate is 21 percent.
• The Personal (employee) ordinary income rate is 37 percent.
• The Personal (employee) long-term capital gains rate is 20 percent.
• The Exercise price of the options is $7.
• The Market price of Harmer at date of grant is $5.
• The Market price of Harmer at date of exercise is $25.
• The Market price of Harmer at date of sale is $35.
