On 11/1/X1 JacobCo Inc. hired an external engineering firm to design a new production line to produce a new fishing lure product line. The design of the new production line was completed on 11/28/X1 and JacobCo. Inc. received an invoice from the engineering firm in amount of $225,000. Construction started on a new production line on 12/8/X1 and was completed on 12/31/X1. The total construction cost of the new production line was $895,000. Interest expense from 11/1/X1 when the project was started to 12/31/X1 when it was completed amounted to $43,000 in total. Of that total interest expense $4,200 was attributable to the new production line.

The production line had an estimated engineering physical life of eight years. It is estimated that the production line could be scrapped and have a salvage value of approximately $30,000 at the end of that time.

The marketing department estimated that the new fishing lure product line would provide revenues to JacobCo. Inc. for the next five years. At the end of that time period the fishing lure product line will be discontinued and the production line will be scrapped and will sold for $10,000. The marketing department also estimates that the total number of fishing lures that will be sold over the next five years will be 500,000 units. The production line started into operation on 1/1/X2.

Required: Calculate depreciation for 12/31/X2 and 12/31/X3 and make the required journal entries using :

A. Straight line depreciation.

B. 200% double declining balance.

C. Units of Production assuming that 102,500 lures were produced in the year ending 12/31/X2 and 91,000 lures were produced in the year ending 12/31/X3.

At the start of the current period, 300 towels were in process and were 60 percent complete. The costs incurred were $576. During the month, costs of $10,800 were incurred, 2,700 towels were started, and 150 towels were still in process at the end of the month. At the end of the month, the towels were 20 percent complete.

Allocating Joint Costs Using the Physical Units Method

Orchard Fresh, Inc., purchases apples from local orchards and sorts them into four categories. Grade A are large blemish-free apples that can be sold to gourmet fruit sellers. Grade B apples are smaller and may be slightly out of proportion. These are packed in boxes and sold to grocery stores. Apples for slices are even smaller than Grade B apples and have blemishes. Apples for applesauce are of lower grade than apples for slices, yet still suitable for canning. Information on a recent purchase of 29,000 pounds of apples is as follows:

Grades Pounds
Grade A 2,320      
Grade B 8,700      
Slices 13,050      
Applesauce 4,930      
Total 29,000      

  Total joint cost is $23,200.

Required:

1. Allocate the joint cost to the four grades of apples using the physical units method.

Pitino acquired 80 percent of Brey's outstanding shares on January 1, 2019, in exchange for $369,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $353,000, and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $92,250 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Brey's accounting records was undervalued by $19,000. Pitino assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Brey's patented technology (five-year remaining life).

Brey reported net income from its own operations of $67,000 in 2019 and $83,000 in 2020. Brey declared dividends of $18,000 in 2019 and $22,000 in 2020.

Brey sells inventory to Pitino as follows:

Year Cost to Brey Transfer Price to Pitino Inventory Remaining at Year-End (at transfer price)
2019 $ 72,000 $ 130,000 $ 28,000
2020 97,500 150,000 40,500
2021 87,500 175,000 50,000

At December 31, 2021, Pitino owes Brey $19,000 for inventory acquired during the period.

The following separate account balances are for these two companies for December 31, 2021, and the year then ended.

Question 2: Input price and input efficiency variances

The budgeted and actual data for direct materials and labor are as follows:

Budgeted Actual
DM price $1 per pound $0.75 per pound
DM quantity per unit 5 pounds per unit 6 pounds per unit
DL price $8 per hour $11 per hour
DL quantity per unit 0.3 hours per unit 0.4 hours per unit

Actual sales volume is 100 units. Budgeted sales volume is 80 units.

a) Without computations, characterize the following variances as favorable or unfavorable:
input price variance for DM F U

input efficiency variance for DM F U

input price variance for DL F U

input efficiency variance for DL F U


b) Compute the input price and input efficiency variances for DM and DL.
As a preliminary step, compute actual input quantity (total pounds or hours we actually used) and flexible budget input quantity (total pounds or hours we should have used for actual output):
    actual input quantity for DM =  pounds
    flexible budget input quantity for DM =  pounds
    actual input quantity for DL =  hours
    flexible budget input quantity for DL =  hours
Next, compute the variances. Enter favorable variances as a positive number and unfavorable variances as a negative number. Do NOT enter F or U.
    input price variance for DM = $
    input efficiency variance for DM = $
    input price variance for DL = $
    input efficiency variance for DL = $

Please read the "Bernard L. Madoff: The Fraud of the Century" case study (C37 in the Case Study section near the end of textbook).

Required:

After reading the case, please respond to the following questions:

  1. Under the fundamental principles governing an audit covered in Chapter 2, we learned that auditors are required to exercise due care and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Based on the case information, do you believe that the auditors from Friehling & Horowitz exercised due care and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit? Why or why not?
  2. After the Madoff case, the SEC instituted a number of reforms to its operations. Please visit the SEC's website (www.sec.gov (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) and search for Post-Madoff reforms. Next, please identify the two reforms that you believe will have the best chance of detecting illegal activity such as the activities of Madoff. Make sure to provide justification for your choices.
  3. Consider section 24 of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 32 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (see Module C in Part III of textbook). Based on the case information, do you believe that Madoff's auditor, Friehling, should be facing criminal charges? Why or why not?

Clark and Shiffer LLP perform activities related to e-commerce consulting and information systems in Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm, which bills $162 per hour for services performed, is in a very tight local labor market and is having difficulty finding quality help for its overworked professional staff. The cost per hour for professional staff time is $72. Selected information follows. • Billable hours to clients for the year totaled 8,200, consisting of: information systems services, 4,920; e-commerce consulting, 3,280. • Administrative cost of $414,760 was (and continues to be) allocated to both services based on billable hours. These costs consist of staff support, $221,520; in-house computing, $156,000; and miscellaneous office charges, $37,240. A recent analysis of staff support costs found a correlation with the number of clients served. In-house computing and miscellaneous office charges varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. A tabulation revealed the following data:

E-Commerce Consulting Information
Systems
Services
Total
  Number of clients 70 250 320   
  Number of computer hours 2,320 3,670 5,990   
  Number of client transactions 830 700 1,530   

Assume that the firm uses traditional costing procedures, allocating total costs on the basis of billable hours. Determine the profitability of the firm’s e-commerce and information systems activities, expressing your answer both in dollars and as a percentage of activity revenue. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Profitability" to 2 decimal places.)
