Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $21, computed as follows:

Direct materials $ 7
Direct labor 6
Variable manufacturing overhead 3
Fixed manufacturing overhead 5
Unit product cost $ 21

An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 2,900 of the parts for only $13 each. The company estimates that 60% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:

Argue both sides to this case
Bill runs a dry cleaning store called Bill’s Dry Cleaning. He is in deep financial trouble. His bank will no longer give him any credit and is threatening to demand immediate repayment of all money it has loaned to his business. Bill also owes money to other creditors and vendors.
Bill is desperate, so he approaches Christine, a very rich lady, and asks her to refinance his business. Christine reviews the business and its operations and says to Bill, “Listen, you’re a great dry cleaner but a lousy businessman. I’ll bail you out, but we have to divide up responsibilities a bit. If we’re going to make this business work, we have to be stricter about it. First, no more credit to professors. They’re lousy at paying their bills on time. Second, I want to determine who gets paid when. One of the arts of staying in business is stretching out your accounts payable. So, before you pay anyone, you check with me. Also, I want some upside potential. So long as you owe me money, I want 12% interest on whatever you owe me or 12% of the profits, whichever is higher. You pay me the 12% monthly, and quarterly I’ll decide whether to keep the past three month’s interest or take my share of the past three month’s profits.”
​Bill accepts Christine’s terms, with one condition: “We have to pay the employees on time. If we have the money, we pay them.” Christine accepts Bill’s condition, pays off the loan from the bank, and provides additional working capital to the business.
​The business continues to operate under the same name, and no one except Bill knows about Christine’s involvement. Bill stops extending credit to professors. Each month Christine reviews Bill’s accounts payable and sets the priorities for payment as follows: (1) pay Christine the money owed her; (2) pay overdue bills from people Bill intends to buy from again; (3) pay overdue bills from other people who are threatening to sue; and (4) pay others. Christine never does take a percentage of the profit because the 12% interest figure is always higher.
​Bill makes all decisions about which vendors to use. He also makes all personnel decisions (hiring, firing, salaries, etc.). Despite Christine’s help, the business fails in less than a year. Bill owes Christine $350,000; he owes creditors a total of $150,000 and $25,000 in unpaid wages to three employees. Bill has no money left.
Question: Are Bill and Christine partners, and if so, what kind of partners are they, and how (if at all) can the creditors and the employees collect from Christine? Explain.

Grouper Corporation is preparing the comparative financial statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal years ended May 31, 2017, and May 31, 2018. The income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, was $1,772,000 and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2018, was $2,440,000. In both years, the company incurred a 9% interest expense on $2,385,000 of debt, an obligation that requires interest-only payments for 5 years. The company experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $585,000 on February 2018. The company uses a 40% effective tax rate for income taxes.

The capital structure of Grouper Corporation on June 1, 2016, consisted of 977,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 20,100 shares of $50 par value, 6%, cumulative preferred stock. There were no preferred dividends in arrears, and the company had not issued any convertible securities, options, or warrants.

On October 1, 2016, Grouper sold an additional 475,000 shares of the common stock at $20 per share. Grouper distributed a 20% stock dividend on the common shares outstanding on January 1, 2017. On December 1, 2017, Grouper was able to sell an additional 781,000 shares of the common stock at $22 per share. These were the only common stock transactions that occurred during the two fiscal years.

Determine the weighted-average number of shares that Grouper Corporation would use in calculating earnings per share for the fiscal year ended:

Michael McNamara and Gregory Lau met while in university and always knew they wanted to be in business together. Shortly after university Michael went to work for a large mulinational firm while Gregory pursued an MBA.

After several years of experience the firm Lau McNamara was established on July 1, 1984 and the firm experienced slow but steady growth over time. It is now 2020 and Lau McNamara has grown to total staff of 55 employees and revenues exceeding $13,000,000 a year. They have largely grown in the area of consulting, tax and accounting.

About 5 years ago they hired a rising star Rose Femia. She has exceeded all expectations and has been pushing to expand the services provided by the firm to include assurance services. Mr. McNamara with his extensive contacts has been asked to bid on a contract to perform audits for 3 municipalities within the province of Ontario.

He has assigned this task to Ms. Femia.

At the moment staff are fully scheduled, if Lau McNamara were to be awarded the contract, it must hire one new staff member at an annual remuneration of $60,000 to handle the additional workload.

Ms. Femia is convinced that obtaining the contract will lead to additional new clients from the respective municipalities. Expected new work (excluding the three municipalities) is 830 hours at an average billing rate of $90 per hour. Other information follows about the firm’s current annual revenues and costs:

Firm volume in hours (normal) 30,750
Fixed costs $ 575,000
Variable cost $ 35

/hr

Should the firm win the contract, the audits of the three municipalities will require 870 hours of expected work.

As a side note, Michael McNamara is adamant that fixed costs should be considered for this short term bid. Gregory Lau argues that they should be disregarded for short-term decision making.

Required:

1. If the Rose Femia’s expectations are correct, what is the lowest bid the firm can submit and still expect to increase annual net income? What would be the hourly billing rate for the county audit jobs just to break even on all the new business? (Round "Average billing rate" answer to 2 decimal places.)

2. If the contract is obtained at a price of $44,800, what is the minimum number of hours of new business in addition to the municipality work that must be obtained for the firm to break even on total new business? What is the margin of safety (MOS) regarding the municipality job audit proposal?
