Exercise 8-14 (Algo) Sales and Production Budgets [LO8-2, LO8-3]

The marketing department of Jessi Corporation has submitted the following sales forecast for the upcoming fiscal year (all sales are on account):

The selling price of the company’s product is $12 per unit. Management expects to collect 75% of sales in the quarter in which the sales are made, 20% in the following quarter, and 5% of sales are expected to be uncollectible. The beginning balance of accounts receivable, all of which is expected to be collected in the first quarter, is $70,800.

The company expects to start the first quarter with 1,695 units in finished goods inventory. Management desires an ending finished goods inventory in each quarter equal to 15% of the next quarter’s budgeted sales. The desired ending finished goods inventory for the fourth quarter is 1,895 units.

Required:

1. Calculate the estimated sales for each quarter of the fiscal year and for the year as a whole.

2. Calculate the expected cash collections for each quarter of the fiscal year and for the year as a whole.

Direct Materials Conversion Costs Units completed 46,000 46,000 Add: Units in ending work in process × Percentage complete: 20,000 × 100% direct materials 20,000 — 20,000 × 45% conversion materials — 9,000 Eqivalent units of output 66,000 55,000 Costs: Work in process, December 1: Direct materials $62,000 Conversion costs 10,000 Total work in process $72,000 Current costs: Direct materials $540,000 Conversion costs 180,000 Total current costs $720,000 Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for December, using the weighted average method. Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per equivalent unit 2. Calculate the cost of goods transferred out, calculate the cost of EWIP, and reconcile the costs assigned with the costs to account for. Cost of goods transferred out: Units completed $ Cost of EWIP Total costs assigned (accounted for) $ Reconciliation Cost to account for: BWIP $ Current (December) Total $ 3. What if you were asked to show that the weighted average unit cost for materials is the blend of the November unit materials cost and the December unit materials cost? The November unit materials cost is $3.10 ($62,000/20,000), and the December unit materials cost is $11.74 ($540,000/46,000). The equivalent units in BWIP are 20,000, and the FIFO equivalent units are 46,000. Calculate the weighted average unit materials cost using weights defined as the proportion of total units completed from each source (BWIP output and current output). Do NOT round interim calculations and, if required, round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per unit

Audit Risk Model- Example 1

You are assigned to conduct the audit procedures for the inventory account at Tech Toys, a public company in the technology industry that sells the latest technology for fitness watches. Inventory obsolescence and the product’s susceptibility to theft is a business risk that management has identified for its inventory.  As part of your procedures you have to evaluate the overall risk assessment for the inventory account using the audit risk model.  Your team has decided that the acceptable level of overall audit risk for this account is Very Low or Low.  

You perform a walkthrough of Tech Toys’ process for its inventory, which includes internal controls surrounding the existence, completeness, and valuation of inventory.  Based on your walkthrough and test of control procedures, you find that Tech Toys has inadequate internal controls in place surrounding its inventory processes.

Given the above, what is the assigned level of risk (low, moderate, or high) for each of the components of the audit risk model that will enable a Very Low or Low level of audit risk for the inventory account? Briefly describe your judgment regarding the level of risk for each component.  What does your assessment for each of the components of the Audit Risk Model indicate about the nature, timing, and extent of substantive procedures that will be performed?

Audit Risk Model- Example 2

Assume instead that based on your walkthrough and test of control procedures, you find that Tech Toys has adequate internal controls in place surrounding its inventory processes.  How does this change your assessment?

1.Carlson, a citizen and resident of Denmark, is a commodities dealer operating in Copenhagen. During the tax year, Carlson, by e-mail from her home office, purchased several carloads of wheat. She took title to the wheat in Minneapolis. The wheat was sold to the government of India, FOB New York City, where the wheat was placed aboard a Liberian flag vessel. Carlson has never been to the United States. While she has occasionally purchased U.S. commodities in the past, this is her sole transaction in the United States during the current year. Does she have any potential U.S. income tax liability? 5. Rosario, a corporation organized in Argentina, sells consumer products to retailers in the main cities of that country. Rosario has no office in the United States.

2.Rosario sales representatives in Argentina send orders to a purchasing agent in New York. The purchasing agent purchases the products from U.S. manufacturers in Rosario’s name. The products are shipped to Miami and delivered to vessels bound for Argentina. Orders are accepted in Argentina. Title to the goods is transferred to customers at the port of destination. However, the customers have agreed contractually to insure against all losses attributable to shipwreck, fire and accident while the goods are in transit. The Argentine customers make payment to an account maintained by Rosario in Switzerland. Does Rosario have any liability for U.S. taxes? Would your answer differ if the purchasing agent is properly characterized as an “independent agent”?

eBookCalculator Effect of Proposals on Divisional Performance A condensed income statement for the Jet Ski Division of Amazing Rides Inc. for the year ended December 31, 20Y2, is as follows: Sales $3,720,000 Cost of goods sold (2,666,600) Gross profit $ 1,053,400 Operating expenses (607,000) Operating income $ 446,400 Invested assets $3,100,000 Assume that the Jet Ski Division received no charges from service departments. The president of Amazing Rides has indicated that the division’s rate of return on a $3,100,000 investment must be increased to at least 16.8% by the end of the next year if operations are to continue. The division manager is considering the following three proposals: Proposal 1: Transfer equipment with a book value of $620,000 to other divisions at no gain or loss and lease similar equipment. The annual lease payments would exceed the amount of depreciation expense on the old equipment by $111,600. This increase in expense would be included as part of the cost of goods sold. Sales would remain unchanged. Proposal 2: Purchase new and more efficient machining equipment and thereby reduce the cost of goods sold by $409,200. Sales would remain unchanged, and the old equipment, which has no remaining book value, would be scrapped at no gain or loss. The new equipment would increase invested assets by an additional $1,550,000 for the year. Proposal 3: Reduce invested assets by discontinuing the tandem jet ski line. This action would eliminate sales of $658,800, cost of goods sold of $440,200, and operating expenses of $193,800. Assets of $1,569,500 would be transferred to other divisions at no gain or loss. Required: 1. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for the Jet Ski Division for the past year. For investment turnover and ROI, round to one decimal place. Jet Ski Division Profit margin % Investment turnover ROI % Feedback 2. Prepare condensed estimated income statements and compute the invested assets for each proposal. Amazing Rides Inc.-Jet Ski Division Estimated Income Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y2 Proposal 1 Proposal 2 Proposal 3 Sales $ $ $ Cost of goods sold Gross profit $ $ $ Operating expenses Operating income $ $ $ Invested assets $ $ $ Feedback 3. Using the DuPont formula for return on investment, determine the profit margin, investment turnover, and return on investment for each proposal. Round interim calculations (including previously calculated) and final answer to one decimal place. Profit margin Investment turnover ROI Proposal 1: % % Proposal 2: % % Proposal 3: % % 4. Select whether each of the three proposals would meet the required 16.8% return on investment. Proposal 1: No Proposal 2: Yes Proposal 3: Yes 5. If the Jet Ski Division were in an industry where the profit margin could not be increased, how much would the investment turnover have to increase to meet the president's required 16.8% return on investment? Round intermediate calculations to two decimal places and your final answer to one decimal place. %
