Irwin, Inc., constructed a machine at a total cost of $45 million. Construction was completed at the end of 2014 and the machine was placed in service at the beginning of 2015. The machine was being depreciated over a 10-year life using the sum-of-the-years’-digits method. The residual value is expected to be $1 million. At the beginning of 2018, Irwin decided to change to the straight-line method.

Ignoring income taxes, prepare the journal entry relating to the machine for 2018. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)

Marine, Inc., manufactures a product that is available in both a flexible and a rigid model....

Marine, Inc., manufactures a product that is available in both a flexible and a rigid model. The company has made the rigid model for years; the flexible model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the flexible model, the company’s profits have steadily declined, and management has become concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the flexible model have been increasing rapidly.

    Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $714,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 2,000 units of the flexible model and 10,000 units of the rigid model. The flexible model requires 3.0 hour(s) of direct labor time per unit, and the rigid model requires 1.50 hour(s). Direct materials and labor costs per unit are given below:

Required:

(1). Estimate how much of the $166,200 of overhead cost in October was maintenance cost. (Hint: to do this, it may be helpful to first determine how much of the $166,200 consisted of utilities and supervisory salaries. Think about the behavior of variable and fixed costs!)

(2). Using the high-low method, estimate a cost formula for maintenance.

(3). Express the company’s total overhead costs in the linear equation form Y = a + bX.

(4). What total overhead costs would you expect to be incurred at an operating activity level of 15,000 machine-hours?

Pittman Company is a small but growing manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. The company has no sales force of its own; rather, it relies completely on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents are paid a sales commission of 15% for all items sold.

Barbara Cheney, Pittman’s controller, has just prepared the company’s budgeted income statement for next year as follows:

Pittman Company
Budgeted Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31
Sales $ 17,000,000
Manufacturing expenses:
Variable $ 7,650,000
Fixed overhead 2,380,000 10,030,000
Gross margin 6,970,000
Selling and administrative expenses:
Commissions to agents 2,550,000
Fixed marketing expenses 119,000 *
Fixed administrative expenses 1,840,000 4,509,000
Net operating income 2,461,000
Fixed interest expenses 595,000
Income before income taxes 1,866,000
Income taxes (30%) 559,800
Net income $ 1,306,200

*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittman’s president, she commented, “I went ahead and used the agents’ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but we’ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.”

“That’s the last straw,” Karl replied angrily. “Those agents have been demanding more and more, and this time they’ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?”

“They claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, there’s nothing left over for profit,” replied Barbara.

“I say it’s just plain robbery,” retorted Karl. “And I also say it’s time we dumped those guys and got our own sales force. Can you get your people to work up some cost figures for us to look at?”

“We’ve already worked them up,” said Barbara. “Several companies we know about pay a 7.5% commission to their own salespeople, along with a small salary. Of course, we would have to handle all promotion costs, too. We figure our fixed expenses would increase by $2,550,000 per year, but that would be more than offset by the $3,400,000 (20% × $17,000,000) that we would avoid on agents’ commissions.”

The breakdown of the $2,550,000 cost follows:

Salaries:
Sales manager $ 106,250
Salespersons 637,500
Travel and entertainment 425,000
Advertising 1,381,250
Total $ 2,550,000

“Super,” replied Karl. “And I noticed that the $2,550,000 equals what we’re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.”

“It’s even better than that,” explained Barbara. “We can actually save $78,200 a year because that’s what we’re paying our auditors to check out the agents’ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.”

“Pull all of these numbers together and we’ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,” said Karl. “With the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.”

Required:

1. Compute Pittman Company’s break-even point in dollar sales for next year assuming:

a. The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

c. The company employs its own sales force.


2. Assume that Pittman Company decides to continue selling through agents and pays the 20% commission rate. Determine the dollar sales that would be required to generate the same net income as contained in the budgeted income statement for next year.

3. Determine the dollar sales at which net income would be equal regardless of whether Pittman Company sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force.

4. Compute the degree of operating leverage that the company would expect to have at the end of next year assuming:

a. The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

b. The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

c. The company employs its own sales force.

Use income before income taxes in your operating leverage computation.

Carlsbad Corporation's sales are expected to increase from $5 million in 2018 to $6 million in 2019, or by 20%. Its assets totaled $4 million at the end of 2018. Carlsbad is at full capacity, so its assets must grow in proportion to projected sales. At the end of 2018, current liabilities are $1 million, consisting of $250,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $250,000 of accrued liabilities. Its profit margin is forecasted to be 3%.

  1. Assume that the company pays no dividends. Under these assumptions, what would be the additional funds needed for the coming year? Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
    $  

  2. Why is this AFN different from the one when the company pays dividends?
    1. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of retained earnings, which would reduce the amount of assets needed.
    2. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of spontaneous liabilities, which would reduce the amount of additional funds needed.
    3. Under this scenario the company would have a lower level of retained earnings, which would increase the amount of additional funds needed.
    4. Under this scenario the company would have a lower level of retained earnings, which would decrease the amount of additional funds needed.
    5. Under this scenario the company would have a higher level of retained earnings, which would reduce the amount of additional funds needed.
