Waterway Services Ltd. follows ASPE and had earned accounting income before taxes of $518,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During 2020, Waterway paid $80,000 for meals and entertainment expenses.

In 2017, Waterway’s tax accountant made a mistake when preparing the company’s income tax return. In 2020, Waterway paid $9,700 in penalties related to this error. These penalties were not deductible for tax purposes.

Waterway owned a warehouse building for which it had no current use, so the company chose to use the building as a rental property. At the beginning of 2020, Waterway rented the building to Trung Inc. for two years at $56,000 per year. Trung paid the entire two years’ rent in advance.

Waterway used the straight-line depreciation method for accounting purposes and recorded depreciation expense of $311,600. For tax purposes, Waterway claimed the maximum capital cost allowance of $465,300. This asset had been purchased at the beginning of the year for $3,069,000.

In 2020, Waterway began selling its products with a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects. In 2020, Waterway accrued $294,000 of warranty expenses: actual expenditures for 2020 were $90,600 with the remaining $203,400 anticipated in 2021.

In 2020, Waterway was subject to a 25% income tax rate. During the year, the federal government announced that tax rates would be decreased to 23% for all future years beginning January 1, 2021.

Mastery Problem: Job Order Costing

Purl of Great Price Company

Maria Young is the sole stockholder of Purl of Great Price Company (POGP Company), which produces high-end knitted sweaters and sweater vests for sale to retail outlets. The company started in January of the current year, and employs three knitters (each of whom work 40 hours per week) and one office manager/knitting supervisor (this employee works 20 hours per week as office manager, and 20 hours per week as knitting supervisor). All wages are paid in cash at the end of each month.

Each knitter has a knitting machine that is used about 2/3 of the knitter’s time, the rest of the knitter’s time being involved in hand knitting and piecing together the garments. The company also has a packaging machine used to wrap the garments in plastic for shipping, which is operated by the office manager/knitting supervisor approximately 5 hours per week.

The knitting machines were purchased on January 1 of the current year, and cost $2,400 each, with an anticipated useful life of 10 years and no salvage value. The packaging machine was purchased on the same date and cost $4,800, with the same anticipated useful life and salvage value.

Bell Products Corporation manufactures after-market clutch plates for motorcycles, automobiles, racing applications, and heavy industry vehicles. One of the first stages of clutch plate production is to stamp the raw plates out of rolls of metal. The process requires the use of 100 ton presses that stamp out hundreds of plates per minute.

A chemical is used to keep the presses from overheating and is automatically sprayed in fractions of seconds to keep the press operating smoothly to lubricate and prepare the metal. The chemical also keeps the press from sparking during the punching process. A small spark could cause a fire and safety hazard. Therefore, the chemical is crucial to the operation of the stamping process.

The stamping solution contains proprietary ingredients that are toxic and considered to be hazardous waste, and disposal must be through EPA approved methods. The cost to dispose of the chemical is many times greater than regular waste products.

Currently, Bell Products uses a traditional, volume-based costing system for its clutch plate products. Total manufacturing overhead for the period is allocated to the clutch plates based on machine hours.

Fred, who was recently hired, is the controller for Bell Products. He has five years of experience as a cost accountant at a lumber manufacturing facility. At the lumber plant, Fred implemented an activity-based costing system that helped the plant manager determine the profitability of various product lines. After getting to know the manufacturing process at Bell Products, Fred has determined that an activity-based costing system would help management make better decisions and track the costs of the clutch plates more accurately.

Tina is the manager of the stamping department and is good friends with Fred. Tina runs a very efficient department and has earned several bonuses for the stamping department’s production and profitability. Each of the department managers are evaluated based on the profitability of the departments based on internal cost reports.

If activity-based costing is used to allocate costs and the hazardous waste of the stamping chemical is allocated to the department that uses the product, the internally calculated profits of the stamping department would decline drastically. The decline in profitability would be due to the extreme high cost of the stamping chemical and this cost would be directed allocated to the stamping department.

Tina decides to take Fred to an expensive restaurant and eventually brings up the activity-based costing system. She voices her concern about the allocation of the hazardous waste being directly allocated to her department. She asks Fred if there is any way that he could reduce the amount of hazardous waste allocated to the stamping department. Fred values Tina’s friendship and realizes that she is on the compensation committee that evaluates Fred on an annual basis. Fred definitely wants to keep Tina happy and on his side.

As a result, Fred decides to not setup a cost pool for hazardous waste. He reasons that since the hazardous waste has always been a part of the manufacturing process, he will bury it as part of the manufacturing costs that are allocated across all departments. He justifies his decision because the activity-based system will still accurately allocate all other costs and it is much more accurate than the old traditional costing system. Fred feels no one will get hurt. Since the activity-based costing cannot be used for external reporting, Fred feels that his decision is not illegal.

Using the Institute of Management Accountants Statement of Ethical Professional Practice on page 12 of your textbook (Exhibit 1-6) as an ethical framework, answer the following questions:

What are the ethical issues in this case?

1. Activity-based costing cannot be used for external reporting. Does this fact influence your analysis of whether Fred has violated any ethical principles? Why, or why not?
2. Do you agree with Fred that no one will get hurt by burying the hazardous waste into the general manufacturing cost pool shared by all departments? Explain.
3. What are Fred’s responsibilities as a management accountant? What should he do now?

Departmental Overhead Rates

Lansing, Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments:

Machine hours are used to assign the overhead of the Molding Department, and direct labor hours are used to assign the overhead of the Polishing Department. There are 25,000 units of Form A produced and sold and 50,000 of Form B.

Required:

1. Calculate the overhead rates for each department.

2. Using departmental rates, assign overhead to the two products and calculate the overhead cost per unit. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

How does this compare with the plantwide rate unit cost, using direct labor hours?
Relative to the plantwide rate, the cost increased  for Form A and decreased for Form B.

3. What if the machine hours in Molding were 1,200 for Form A and 3,800 for Form B and the direct labor hours used in Polishing were 5,000 and 15,000, respectively? Calculate the overhead cost per unit for each product using departmental rates. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Compare with the plantwide rate unit costs calculated in Requirement 2. What can you conclude from this outcome?

Relative to the plantwide rate, the cost increased  for Form A and decreased for Form B.

Feedback

1. For departmental rates, OH rates are assigned to each production department either per machine hrs. or direct labor hrs. Dept. estimated OH ÷ machine hour = rate per machine hour. Dept. estimated OH ÷ direct labor hour = rate per direct labor hour

2. Machine hours are used to assign OH of the Molding Dept. and direct labor hours are used to assign OH of the Polishing Dept. Total applied OH ÷ Units of production = Unit OH cost (each form). Plantwide rate = total estimated OH ÷ total direct hours

3. Use new numbers given and calculate OH the same as in Requirement 1 & 2, compare departmental to plantwide, and give conclusion of the results.
