Top executive officers of Tildon Company, a merchandising firm, are preparing the next year’s budget. The controller has provided everyone with the current year’s projected income statement.

Current Year
Sales revenue $ 1,600,000
Cost of goods sold 1,120,000
Gross profit 480,000
Selling & administrative expenses 190,000
Net income $ 290,000

Cost of goods sold is usually 70 percent of sales revenue, and selling and administrative expenses are usually 10 percent of sales plus a fixed cost of $30,000. The president has announced that the company’s goal is to increase net income by 15 percent.

Required

The following items are independent of each other:

A. Prepare a pro forma income statement. What percentage increase in sales would enable the company to reach its goal?

B. The market may become stagnant next year, and the company does not expect an increase in sales revenue. The production manager believes that an improved production procedure can cut cost of goods sold by 2 percent. Prepare a pro forma income statement still assuming the President's goal to increase net income by 15 percent. Calculate the required reduction in selling & administrative expenses to achieve the budgeted net income.

C. The company decides to escalate its advertising campaign to boost consumer recognition, which will increase selling and administrative expenses to $230,000. With the increased advertising, the company expects sales revenue to increase by 15 percent. Assume that cost of goods sold remains a constant proportion of sales. Prepare a pro forma income statement. Will the company reach its goal?

(4) Performance-Based Share Option Compensation Plan

On January 1, 2016, Pierce Company establishes a performance-based share option plan for its 80 top executives. The terms of the plan are that each executive is granted a maximum of 200 options after completing a 3-year service period. The exact number of options granted, however, depends on the percentage increase in sales over the 3-year period. The terms are: (1) if sales increase between 0% and 3%, each executive is granted 90 options; (2) if sales increase between 4% and 6%, each executive is granted 140 options; and (3) if sales increase at least 7%, each executive is granted the maximum number of options. Each option entitles the executive to acquire one share of the company’s $10 par common stock at a price of $45. The options expire at the end of 4 years.

On the grant date, Pierce uses an option pricing model to estimate that the fair value of each share option is $15.50. Pierce’s employee turnover rate is expected to be 16% over the service period. At the end of 2017, because of lower turnover, Pierce revises its estimated turnover rate to 14% for the service period. At the end of 2018, options vest for 68 executives. On February 3, 2019, 50 executives exercise their options when the market price of the company’s common stock is $62 per share. During the remainder of the year, the market price declines so that at the end of 2019 the other 18 executives allow their options to expire.

Based on a projection of past trends, on the grant date Pierce estimates that its sales will increase about 5% by the end of 2018. This estimate appears accurate through 2017. However, in the last half of 2018, sales increase so much that at the end of 2018 Pierce determines that its total sales have increased by 7% over the 3-year service period. All inventory is shipped by Pierce to its customers under FOB destination terms.

Required:

1. Prepare a schedule of Pierce’s compensation computations for its compensatory share option plan for 2016 through 2018.
2. Prepare Pierce’s memorandum and journal entries for 2016 through 2019 in regard to this plan.
3. Show how the account(s) related to the plan is (are) reported in the shareholders’ equity section of Pierce’s December 31, 2017, balance sheet.

“This is really an odd situation,” said Jim Carter, general manager of Highland Publishing Company. “We get most of the jobs we bid on that require a lot of press time in the Printing Department, yet profits on those jobs are never as high as they ought to be. On the other hand, we lose most of the jobs we bid on that require a lot of time in the Binding Department. I would be inclined to think that the problem is with our overhead rates, but we’re already computing separate overhead rates for each department. So what else could be wrong?”

Highland Publishing Company is a large organization that offers a variety of printing and binding work. The Printing and Binding departments are supported by three service departments. The costs of these service departments are allocated to other departments in the order listed below. The Personnel cost is allocated based on number of employees. The Custodial Services cost is allocated based on square feet of space occupied and the Maintenance cost is allocated based on machine-hours.

Department Total Labor-Hours Square Feet of Space Occupied Number of Employees Machine-Hours Direct Labor-Hours
Personnel 16,400 12,800 20
Custodial Services 8,500 3,100 49
Maintenance 14,200 10,800 62
Printing 30,400 41,000 110 165,000 12,000
Binding 105,000 20,800 304 50,000 71,000
174,500 88,500 545 215,000 83,000

Budgeted overhead costs in each department for the current year are shown below:

Personnel $ 330,000
Custodial Services 65,400
Maintenance 93,200
Printing 413,000
Binding 169,000
Total budgeted cost $ 1,070,600

Because of its simplicity, the company has always used the direct method to allocate service department costs to the two operating departments.

Required:

1. Using the step-down method, allocate the service department costs to the consuming departments. Then compute predetermined overhead rates in the two operating departments. Use machine-hours as the allocation base in the Printing Department and direct labor-hours as the allocation base in the Binding Department.

2. Repeat (1) above, this time using the direct method. Again compute predetermined overhead rates in the Printing and Binding departments.

3. Assume that during the current year the company bids on a job that requires machine and labor time as follows:

Machine-Hours Direct
Labor-Hours
Printing Department 2,200 1,200
Binding Department 500 14,000
Total hours 2,700 15,200

a. Determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to the job if the company used the overhead rates developed in (1) above. Then determine the amount of overhead cost that would be assigned to the job if the company used the overhead rates developed in (2) above.
