BARDEEN ELECTRIC: FASB ASC AND IFRS RESEARCH CASE

On October 18, 2017, Armstrong Auto Corporation ("Armstrong") announced its plan to acquire 80 percent of the outstanding 500,000 shares of Bardeen Electric Corporation’s ("Bardeen") common stock in a business combination following regulatory approval. Armstrong will account for the transaction in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” On December 1, 2017, Armstrong purchased an 80 percent controlling interest in Bardeen’s outstanding voting shares. On this date, Armstrong paid $40 million in cash and issued one million shares of Armstrong common stock to the selling shareholders of Bardeen. Armstrong’s share price was $26 on the announcement date and $24 on the acquisition date. Bardeen’s remaining 100,000 shares of common stock had been purchased for $3,000,000 by a small number of original investors. These shares have never been actively traded. Using other valuation techniques (comparable firms, discounted cash flow analysis, etc.), Armstrong estimated the fair value of Bardeen’s noncontrolling shares at $16,500,000. The parties agreed that Armstrong would issue to the selling shareholders an additional one million shares contingent upon the achievement of certain performance goals during the first 24 months following the acquisition. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent stock issue was estimated at $8 million. Bardeen has a research and development (R&D) project underway to develop a superconductive electrical/magnetic application. Total costs incurred to date on the project equal $4,400,000. However, Armstrong estimates that the technology has a fair value of $11 million. Armstrong considers this R&D as in-process because it has not yet reached technological feasibility and additional R&D is needed to bring the project to completion. No assets have been recorded in Bardeen’s financial records for the R&D costs to date. Bardeen’s other assets and liabilities (at fair values) include the following:

Cash $ 425,000

Accounts receivable 788,000

Land 3,487,000

Building 16,300,000

Machinery 39,000,000

Patents 7,000,000

Accounts payable (1,500,000)

Neither the receivables nor payables involve Armstrong. Answer the following questions citing relevant support from the ASC and IFRS. 1. What is the total consideration transferred by Armstrong to acquire its 80 percent controlling interest in Bardeen?

2. What values should Armstrong assign to identifiable intangible assets as part of the acquisition accounting?

3. What is the acquisition-date value assigned to the 20 percent noncontrolling interest? What are the potential noncontrolling interest valuation alternatives available under IFRS?

4. Under U.S. GAAP, what amount should Armstrong recognize as goodwill from the Bardeen acquisition? What alternative goodwill valuations are allowed under IFRS?

Neptune Company produces toys and other items for use in beach and resort areas. A small, inflatable toy has come onto the market that the company is anxious to produce and sell. The new toy will sell for $5.50 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company’s plant to produce 20,000 units of the toy each month. Variable costs to manufacture and sell one unit would be $2.75, and fixed costs associated with the toy would total $70,000 per month.

The company’s Marketing Department predicts that demand for the new toy will exceed the 20,000 units that the company is able to produce. Additional manufacturing space can be rented from another company at a fixed cost of $5,000 per month. Variable costs in the rented facility would total $3.00 per unit, due to somewhat less efficient operations than in the main plant.

Required:

1. Compute the monthly break-even point for the new toy in units and in total dollar sales. Show all computations in good form.

2. How many units must be sold each month to make a monthly profit of $3,000?

3. If the sales manager receives a bonus of 5 cents for each unit sold in excess of the break-even point, how many units must be sold each month to earn a return of 4.9% on the monthly investment in fixed costs?

Jacob is a member of WCC (an LLC taxed as a partnership). Jacob was allocated $55,000 of business income from WCC for the year. Jacob’s marginal income tax rate is 37 percent. The business allocation is subject to 2.9 percent of self-employment tax and 0.9 percent additional Medicare tax. (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a. What is the amount of tax Jacob will owe on the income allocation if the income is not qualified business income?

b. What is the amount of tax Jacob will owe on the income allocation if the income is qualified business income (QBI) and Jacob qualifies for the full QBI deduction?

Each student should choose an organization with which she/he is familiar, such as the place of employment, business patronized, or other situation and describe how that organization either does or does not apply the course concepts on a day-to-day basis. The following course concepts should be discussed:

• The Balance Scorecard Critical success factors.
• Identify and discuss the fixed and variable cost.
• Calculate the Contribution Margin Income Statement
• Determine and discuss the most effective costing method for your organization.
• Using the IRR and NPV method calculate and determine if the capital budget project is viable project cost $950,000, project life 7 years and cost of capital 12% and annual cash flows of $210,000.
• Provide a recommendation for the organization

What would be some pros and cons of using acutal versus capacity cost driver rates and vice versus. this is the question i am ultimately answering, "Which cost driver rates should be used: actual or capacity based? Why?"

11-40 Make or buy, unknown level of volume. (A. Atkinson, adapted) Denver Engineering manufac- tures small engines that it sells to manufacturers who install them in products such as lawn mowers. The company currently manufactures all the parts used in these engines but is considering a proposal from an external supplier who wishes to supply the starter assemblies used in these engines.

The starter assemblies are currently manufactured in Division 3 of Denver Engineering. The costs relat- ing to the starter assemblies for the past 12 months were as follows:

Direct materials                                                  $550,000
Variable direct manufacturing labor $300,000

Manufacturing overhead $800,000
Total $1,650,000

Over the past year, Division 3 manufactured 150,000 starter assemblies. The average cost for each starter assembly is $10 ($1,500,000 / 150,000).

Further analysis of manufacturing overhead revealed the following information. Of the total manufac- turing overhead, only 25% is considered variable. Of the fixed portion, $300,000 is an allocation of general overhead that will remain unchanged for the company as a whole if production of the starter assemblies is discontinued. A further $200,000 of the fixed overhead is avoidable if production of the starter assemblies is discontinued. The balance of the current fixed overhead, $100,000, is the division manager’s salary. If Denver Engineering discontinues production of the starter assemblies, the manager of Division 3 will be transferred to Division 2 at the same salary. This move will allow the company to save the $80,000 salary that would otherwise be paid to attract an outsider to this position.

1. Tutwiler Electronics, a reliable supplier, has offered to supply starter-assembly units at $8 per unit. Because this price is less than the current average cost of $10 per unit, the vice president of manufacturing is eager to accept this offer. On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Denver Engineering accept the outside offer? Show your calculations. (Hint: Production output in the coming year may be different from production output in the past year.)
2. How, if at all, would your response to requirement 1 change if the company could use the vacated plant space for storage and, in so doing, avoid $100,000 of outside storage charges currently incurred? Why is this information relevant or irrelevant?
