In the table below, there are test scores from a dozen students. The test was worth 200 points. The scores in the table are the # of points out of 200. Letter grades will be assigned using the standard grade boundaries given below.

You will need to create a new Excel file for this assignment.

1. Create a worksheet with the columns of student names and scores as shown above.
2. Add a column to the right of Test Score labeled “Percentage”
3. Add a column to the right of Percentage labeled “Letter grade”
4. Using absolute addressing, calculate the corresponding percentage score for each student. You must utilize absolute addressing in this formula. (hint – put the total possible score in one separate cell someplace in your worksheet and use it for the first student, then copy and paste).
5. Use the AVERAGE function to calculate the average percentage and display with a label of “Average Percentage”.
6. Use the MAX function to calculate the highest percentage score and display with a label of “Maximum Percentage.”
7. Using VLOOKUP, determine and display the letter grade for each student.

Read the scenario below, and address the subsequent requirements.

Emma is the plant manager of an electronics company. Plant managers are paid a salary and get an additional bonus equal to 5% of their base salary if their division meets or exceeds target profits for the year. The bonus is determined after the company’s annual financial report has been prepared and issued to shareholders.

Emma’s division uses a process costing system where the estimate of the percentage completion of ending work in process inventories affects the unit costs of finished goods and therefore the cost of goods sold. (All units completed and transferred out of the final processing department were sold.)

Emma just received preliminary profit figures for her division which show it is within $200,000 of making the year’s target profits. To earn her bonus, Emma simply needs to convince James, her lead production supervisor, to increase the estimate of the percentage complete of ending work in process inventory. James has already submitted the percentage completion figures to corporate headquarters.

In your post, address the following questions:

1. What are the ethical issues in this process costing environment? What are the risks?

2. Do you think Joe should go along with Emma's request to alter estimates of the percentage completion? Why or why not?

In conducting interviews and observing factory operations to implement an activity-based costing system, you determine that several activities are unnecessary or redundant. For example, warehouse personnel were inspecting purchased components as they were received at the loading dock. Later that day, the components were inspected again on the shop floor before being installed in the final product. Both of these activities caused costs to be incurred but were not adding value to the product. If you include this observation in your report, one or more employees who perform inspections will likely lose their jobs.

Questions

1. As a plant employee, what is your responsibility to report your findings to superiors?
2. Should you attempt to determine if the redundancy is justified? Explain.
3. What is your responsibility to the employees whose jobs will likely be lost by your report?
4. What facts should you consider before making your decision to report or not?

1. A cash basis landlord makes new tenants pay first and last month’s rent at the start of the lease.  How does the landlord report these items?

2. Purple Corporation, an exterminating company, is a calendar year taxpayer.  It contracts to provide service to homeowners once a month under a one- two- or three-year contact.  For financial reporting purposes, Purple reports the income ratably over the months of the contract. On April 1 of the current year, the company sold a customer a one-year contract for $120.  How much of the $120 is taxable in current and subsequent year if the company is an accrual basis taxpayer? If the $120 is payment on a two-year contract, how much is taxed in the year of the contract is sold and in the following years?  If the $120 is payment on a three-year contract, how much is taxed in the year the contract is sold and in the following years?

Cordova manufactures three types of stained glass window, cleverly named Products A, B, and C. Information about these products follows: Product A Product B Product C Sales price $ 46.00 $ 56.00 $ 86.00 Variable costs per unit 22.00 12.25 38.00 Fixed costs per unit 8.00 8.00 8.00 Required number of labor hours 1.50 2.50 4.00 Cordova currently is limited to 50,000 labor hours per month. Cordova’s marketing department has determined the following demand for its products: Product A 13,000 units Product B 9,000 units Product C 5,000 units Given the company’s limited resource and expected demand, compute how many units of each product Cordova should produce to maximize its profit.

RayLok Incorporated has invented a secret process to improve light intensity and, as a result, manufactures a variety of products related to this process. Each product is independent of the others and is treated as a separate profit/loss division. Product (division) managers have a great deal of freedom to manage their divisions as they think best. Failure to produce target divisional income is dealt with severely; however, rewards for exceeding one’s profit objective are, as one division manager described them, lavish.

The DimLok Division sells an add-on automotive accessory that automatically dims a vehicle’s headlights by sensing a certain intensity of light coming from a specific direction. DimLok has had a new manager in each of the 3 previous years because each manager failed to reach RayLok’s target profit level. Donna Barnes has just been promoted to manager and is studying ways to meet the current target profit for DimLok.

DimLok’s two profit targets for the coming year are $910,000 (25% return on the investment in the annual fixed costs of the division) and $30 (pre-tax) profit for each DimLok unit sold. Other constraints on the division’s operations are as follows:

• Production cannot exceed sales because RayLok’s corporate advertising program stresses completely new product models each year, although the models might have only cosmetic changes.
• DimLok’s selling price cannot vary above the current selling price of $200 per unit but may vary as much as 5% below $200.
• A division manager can elect to expand fixed production or selling facilities; however, the target profit objective related to fixed costs is increased by 25% of the cost of any such expansion. Furthermore, a manager cannot expand fixed facilities by more than 35% of existing fixed cost levels without approval from the board of directors.

Donna is now examining data gathered by her staff to determine whether DimLok can achieve its target profits of $910,000 and $30 per unit. A summary of these reports shows the following:

• Last year’s sales were 41,000 units at $200 per unit.
• DimLok’s current manufacturing facility capacity is 51,000 units per year, but can be increased to 102,000 units per year with an increase of $1,110,000 in annual fixed costs.
• Present variable costs amount to $120 per unit, but DimLok’s vendors are willing to offer direct materials discounts amounting to $30 per unit, beginning with unit number 71,001.
• Sales can be increased up to 122,000 units per year by committing large blocks of product to institutional buyers at a discounted unit price of $170. However, this discount applies only to sales in excess of 51,000 units per year.

Donna believes that these projections are reliable and is now trying to determine what DimLok must do to meet the profit objectives assigned by RayLok’s board of directors.

Required:

1. Determine the dollar amount of DimLok’s present annual fixed costs per year.

2. Determine the number of units that DimLok must sell to achieve both profit objectives. Be sure to consider all constraints in determining your answer.

3. Without regard to your answer in requirement 2, assume that Donna decides to sell 51,000 units at $200 per unit and 79,750 units at $170 per unit.

(a) Prepare a budgeted income statement (contribution format) for DimLok showing budgeted operating income.

(b) Would this projected operating income meet the stated profit objectives?
