Wixis Cabinets makes custom wooden cabinets for high-end stereo systems from specialty woods. The company uses a job-order costing system. The capacity of the plant is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is time on the automated bandsaw that makes finely beveled cuts in wood according to the preprogrammed specifications of each cabinet. The bandsaw can operate up to 187 hours per month. The estimated total manufacturing overhead cost at capacity is $15,708 per month. The company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, so its predetermined overhead rate is $84 per hour of bandsaw use.

The results of a recent month’s operations appear below:

Required:  

1-a. Prepare an income statement that records the cost of unused capacity on the income statement as a period expense.

1-b. How much of the cost of unused capacity can be shown on the income statement as a period expense?

Sabert manufactures the Mosaïc® line of heavyweight plastic cutlery. Colored a distinctive silver, Mosaïc’s® products allow one to “entertain with more style.” Currently, Sabert offers two “combo” assortments: (1) 32-piece (16 forks, 8 knives, 8 spoons); (2) 80-piece (40 forks, 20 knives, 20 spoons). Sabert sells the 32-piece pack for $2.80 and the 80-piece pack for $5.79. It costs Sabert $0.61 to manufacture the 32-piece pack and $1.17 to manufacture the 80-piece pack. H-E-B, a Texas-based supermarket chain, sells both sizes of the Mosaïc® cutlery. H-E-B estimates that in 2012 they will buy 247,600 units of the 32-piece pack and 198,300 units of the 80-piece pack. However, in response to customer feedback, H-E-B has asked Sabert to consider producing a third combo pack exclusively for H-E-B. The proposed combo would be a 56-piece (24 forks, 16 knives, 16 spoons), selling to H-E-B for $4.05 and costing Sabert $0.87 to manufacture. H-E-B has shared some market analysis information with Sabert (to support their request). Sabert marketing analysts have concluded that if they provide the new combo pack they will sell 202,100 units to H-E-B. But they estimate that only 8% of those unit sales will be new sales. Sixty-two percent of the new product’s sales will come from the 80-piece pack and the remaining 30% will come from the 32-piece pack.

(b)  If the 56-piece combo pack is introduced in 2012, what will be the incremental contribution (IC) to the product line?

Nicolas Drinks Inc. (Nicolas) manufactures fizzy drinks such as cola and lemonade as
well as other soft drinks and its year end is 31 December 2017. You are the audit
manager of B&J CPAs LL.P. and are currently planning the audit of Nicolas.
You attended the planning meeting with the engagement partner and finance director
last week and recorded the minutes from the meeting shown below. You are reviewing
these as part of the process of preparing the audit strategy.
Minutes of planning meeting for Nicolas
Nicolas’ sales results have been strong this year and the company is forecasting
revenue of $85 million, which is an increase from the previous year. The company has
invested significantly in the cola and fizzy drinks production process at the factory. This
resulted in expenditure of $5 million on updating, repairing and replacing a significant
amount of the machinery used in the production process.
As the level of production has increased, the company has expanded the number of
warehouses it uses to store inventory. It now utilises 15 warehouses; some are owned
by Nicolas and some are rented from third parties. There will be inventory counts taking
place at all 15 of these sites at the year end.
A new accounting general ledger has been introduced at the beginning of the year, with
the old and new systems being run in parallel for a period of two months.
As a result of the increase in revenue, Nicolas has recently recruited a new credit
controller to chase outstanding receivables. The finance director thinks it is not
necessary to continue to maintain an allowance for receivables and so has released the
opening allowance of $1·5 million.
In addition, Nicolas has incurred expenditure of $4·5 million on developing a new brand
of fizzy soft drinks. The company started this process in January 2017 and is close to
launching their new product into the market place. The finance director stated that there
was a problem in November in the mixing of raw materials within the production process
which resulted in a large batch of cola products tasting different. A number of these
products were sold; however, due to complaints by customers about the flavour, no
further sales of these goods have been made. No adjustment has been made to the
valuation of the damaged inventory, which will still be held at cost of $1 million at the
year end.
As in previous years, the management of Nicolas is due to be paid a significant annual
bonus based on the value of year-end total assets.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $40 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $150,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 15,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?
