Johnstone Company is facing several decisions regarding investing and financing activities. Address each decision independently. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

1. On June 30, 2018, the Johnstone Company purchased equipment from Genovese Corp. Johnstone agreed to pay Genovese $27,000 on the purchase date and the balance in eight annual installments of $4,000 on each June 30 beginning June 30, 2019. Assuming that an interest rate of 10% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation, at what amount should Johnstone value the equipment?
2. Johnstone needs to accumulate sufficient funds to pay a $570,000 debt that comes due on December 31, 2023. The company will accumulate the funds by making five equal annual deposits to an account paying 7% interest compounded annually. Determine the required annual deposit if the first deposit is made on December 31, 2018.
3. On January 1, 2018, Johnstone leased an office building. Terms of the lease require Johnstone to make 20 annual lease payments of $137,000 beginning on January 1, 2018. A 10% interest rate is implicit in the lease agreement. At what amount should Johnstone record the lease liability on January 1, 2018, before any lease payments are made?

One topic covered in this chapter is: "methods of paying wages and salaries." Using the knowledge you gained in this chapter, examine the following real life situation and answer both questions (remembering the requirements above): You are a payroll accountant in a small accounting firm. One of your clients, a small business owner, has told you that he wants to pay some employees in cash instead of check, direct deposit, or pay cards. His reason for wanting to pay some employees in cash is that some of his employees do not have a checking account. While this practice is technically not illegal, what advice would you give the small business owner? What is your reason behind offering this advice?

Capital Budgeting Risk Analysis Project Instruction Create the pro forma income statement and estimate the cash flows for the following project. Decide whether to accept this project based on analysis of the NPV, Profitability Index, and IRR. Project Assumptions (Base Case) Equipment Life 6 Years Initial Equipment Cost $2,500,000 in year 0 Depreciation Straight Line Method Initial Revenue $1,000,000 in year 1 Revenue growth rate year 2 10% Revenue growth rate year 3 15% Revenue growth rate year 4 10% Revenue growth rate year 5 5% Variable Costs 60% of this year's revenue Fixed Costs $75,000 in year 1 Fixed Costs Inflation Rate 3% per year Long-term growth rate 2% per year Net Working Capital 4% of next year's revenue Tax Rate 35% Discount Rate 18% Model Structure Since this project does not have an end date we need to decide how many years of detailed analysis we will conduct. For this assignment, we will estimate detailed cash flows for 5 years and estimate the terminal value at the end of year 5. The Income Statement is the building block for cash flow estimation. Your income statement should contain the following items. You may include additional items if you find them useful in your model. Revenue Variable Cost Gross Profit Cash Fixed Cost Depreciation EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Tax) Tax Net Income Cash Flows: • Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes • Other cash flow items o initial investment o change in Net Working Capital o Terminal value   Analyses 1. Scenario Analysis: prepare a scenario summary report. Use the values in the original assumption as the base case and add the following two cases. Case 1 (worst case) Variable Costs 65% of this year's revenue Fixed Costs $80,000 in year 1 Fixed Costs Inflation Rate 5% per year Long-term growth rate 1% per year Case 2 (best case) Variable Costs 55% of this year's revenue Fixed Costs $70,000 in year 1 Fixed Costs Inflation Rate 3% per year Long-term growth rate 3% per year 2. Sensitivity Analysis: prepare a one-way data table. Make sure to use the base case values. Allow the long-term growth rate to vary from -3.0% to +3.0% in increments of 0.5%. Show the impact on NPV and IRR. 3. Breakeven Analysis: identify the initial revenue level that will result in $0 NPV. Things to turn in: 1. A one-page memo explaining the results of your analysis and your recommendation. The memo should include important results of your analysis such as a summary table or graph. The memo is limited to one page so be very selective on what information to include. 2. An Excel spreadsheet showing the following: • Entire model for the base case • Scenario Analysis (Scenario Summary Report) • Sensitivity Analysis (Data Table) • Breakeven Analysis (Goal Seek result) Check Figures (Base case): Model Year 0 1 5 6 Pro Forma Incremental Income Statement Revenue 1,000,000 1,461,075 1,490,297 Net Income (59,583) 54,178 Pro Forma Incremental Balance Sheet Net Working Capital 40,000 44,000 59,612 Pro Forma Incremental Cash Flows Total Net AT CF (2,540,000) 353,083 3,463,856

Morton Company’s contribution format income statement for last month is given below: Sales (46,000 units × $22 per unit) $ 1,012,000 Variable expenses 708,400 Contribution margin 303,600 Fixed expenses 242,880 Net operating income $ 60,720 The industry in which Morton Company operates is quite sensitive to cyclical movements in the economy. Thus, profits vary considerably from year to year according to general economic conditions. The company has a large amount of unused capacity and is studying ways of improving profits.

Required: 1. New equipment has come onto the market that would allow Morton Company to automate a portion of its operations. Variable expenses would be reduced by $6.60 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase to a total of $546,480 each month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one showing present operations and one showing how operations would appear if the new equipment is purchased.

2. Refer to the income statements in (1). For the present operations and the proposed new operations, compute (a) the degree of operating leverage, (b) the break-even point in dollar sales, and (c) the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety percentage.

3. Refer again to the data in (1). As a manager, what factor would be paramount in your mind in deciding whether to purchase the new equipment? (Assume that enough funds are available to make the purchase.)

4. Refer to the original data. Rather than purchase new equipment, the marketing manager argues that the company’s marketing strategy should be changed. Rather than pay sales commissions, which are currently included in variable expenses, the company would pay salespersons fixed salaries and would invest heavily in advertising. The marketing manager claims this new approach would increase unit sales by 30% without any change in selling price; the company’s new monthly fixed expenses would be $387,596; and its net operating income would increase by 20%. Compute the company's break-even point in dollar sales under the new marketing strategy.

Moranda and Sill, LLP, has served for over 10 years as the auditor of the financial statements of Highland Bank and Trust. The firm is conducting its audit planning for the current fiscal year and is in the process of performing risk assesment procedures. Based on inquiries ond other information obtained, the auditors learned that the bank is finalizing an aquisation of a smaller community bank located in another region of the state. Management anticipates that transaction will close in the third quarter, and, while there will be some challenges in integrating the IT systems of the aquired bank with Highland sytems, the bank should realize a number of operational cost savings over the long-term. During the past year, tha bank has expanded its online service options for customers, who can now remotely deposit funds into and withdraw funds from checkings and savings accounts. The systems has been well received by customers and the bank hopes to continue expanding those services. The challenge for Highland is that they are strugglingto retain IT personell given strong job market for individuals with those skills. Credit risk management continues to be a challenge for all banks, including Highland, and regulators continue to spend a lot of time on credit evaluation issues. The bankhas a dedicated underwriting staff that continually evaluates the collectibility of loans outstanding. Unfortunately , some of the credit review staff recently left the bank to work for a competitor. Competition in the community banking space is tough, especiallygiven the slowloan demand in the marketplace. The bank has expanded its investment portfolio into a number of new types of instruments subject to fair value accounting. Management has engaged an outside valuation expert to ensure that the valuation are properly measured and reported. Fortunately, the bank's capital position is strong and it far exceeds regulatory minimums. Capital is available to support growth goals in the bank's three-year strategic plan. 1. Describe any risks of material misstatement at the financial statement level. 2. Describe any risks of material misstatement at the assertion level. 3. Which, if any, risks would be considered a significant risk?

On January 1, 2019, Monica Company acquired 70 percent of Young Company’s outstanding common stock for $700,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $300,000.

Young reported stockholders’ equity accounts on that date as follows:

Common stock—$10 par value $ 100,000
Additional paid-in capital 100,000
Retained earnings 520,000

In establishing the acquisition value, Monica appraised Young's assets and ascertained that the accounting records undervalued a building (with a five-year remaining life) by $40,000. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was allocated to a franchise agreement to be amortized over 10 years.

During the subsequent years, Young sold Monica inventory at a 30 percent gross profit rate. Monica consistently resold this merchandise in the year of acquisition or in the period immediately following. Transfers for the three years after this business combination was created amounted to the following:

Year Transfer Price Inventory Remaining
at Year-End
(at transfer price)
2019 $ 60,000 $ 21,000
2020 80,000 23,000
2021 90,000 29,000

In addition, Monica sold Young several pieces of fully depreciated equipment on January 1, 2020, for $47,000. The equipment had originally cost Monica $72,000. Young plans to depreciate these assets over a five-year period.

In 2021, Young earns a net income of $250,000 and declares and pays $80,000 in cash dividends. These figures increase the subsidiary's Retained Earnings to a $850,000 balance at the end of 2021. During this same year, Monica reported dividend income of $56,000 and an investment account containing the initial value balance of $700,000. No changes in Young's common stock accounts have occurred since Monica's acquisition.

  1. Prepare the 2021 consolidation worksheet entries for Monica and Young.

  2. Compute the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2021

ABC, Resource Drivers, Service Industry Glencoe Medical Clinic operates a cardiology care unit and a maternity care unit. Colby Hepworth, the clinic’s administrator, is investigating the charges assigned to cardiology patients. Currently, all cardiology patients are charged the same rate per patient day for daily care services. Daily care services are broadly defined as occupancy, feeding, and nursing care. A recent study, however, revealed several interesting outcomes. First, the demands patients place on daily care services vary with the severity of the case being treated. Second, the occupancy activity is a combination of two activities: lodging and use of monitoring equipment. Since some patients require more monitoring than others, these activities should be separated. Third, the daily rate should reflect the difference in demands resulting from differences in patient type. Separating the occupancy activity into two separate activities also required the determination of the cost of each activity. Determining the costs of the monitoring activity was fairly easy because its costs were directly traceable. Lodging costs, however, are shared by two activities: lodging cardiology patients and lodging maternity care patients. The total lodging costs for the two activities were $5,700,000 per year and consisted of such items as building depreciation, building maintenance, and building utilities. The cardiology floor and the maternity floor each occupy 20,000 square feet. Hepworth determined that lodging costs would be assigned to each unit based on square feet. To compute a daily rate that reflected the difference in demands, patients were placed in three categories according to illness severity, and the following annual data were collected:

To compute a daily rate that reflected the difference in demands, patients were placed in three categories according to illness severity, and the following annual data were collected:

Activity Cost of Activity Activity Driver Quantity

Monitoring 2,100,000    Monitoring hours used 30,000
Feeding 450,000    Patient days 22,500
Nursing care 4,500,000    Nursing hours 225,000
Total $ 9,900,000
