Northwest Building Projects manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process: residential building lumber and commerical building lumber. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $350,000 and results in 120,000 units of residential building lumber and 120,000 units of commercial building lumber. Each residential building lumber sells for $12 per unit and each commerical building lumber sells for $8 per unit.

1) Assume that the CBL is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $220,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CBL are salable at $10 per unit. The RBL, although salable immediately at the split-off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $250,000 per production run. The RBL is then sold for $13 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completion costs should be assigned to each unit of CBL?

Miller Toy Company manufactures a plastic swimming pool at its Westwood Plant. The plant has been experiencing problems as shown by its June contribution format income statement below:

Budgeted Actual
Sales (7,000 pools) $ 255,000 $ 255,000
Variable expenses:
Variable cost of goods sold* 85,400 104,590
Variable selling expenses 15,000 15,000
Total variable expenses 100,400 119,590
Contribution margin 154,600 135,410
Fixed expenses:
Manufacturing overhead 64,000 64,000
Selling and administrative 79,000 79,000
Total fixed expenses 143,000 143,000
Net operating income $ 11,600 $ (7,590)

*Contains direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.

Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to “get things under control.” Upon reviewing the plant’s income statement, Ms. Dunn has concluded that the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:

Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price
or Rate
Standard Cost
Direct materials 4.0 pounds $ 2.40 per pound $ 9.60
Direct labor 0.3 hours $ 7.00 per hour 2.10
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.2 hours* $ 2.50 per hour 0.50
Total standard cost $ 12.20

*Based on machine-hours.

During June the plant produced 7,000 pools and incurred the following costs:

a. Purchased 33,000 pounds of materials at a cost of $2.85 per pound.

b. Used 27,800 pounds of materials in production. (Finished goods and work in process inventories are insignificant and can be ignored.)

c. Worked 2,700 direct labor-hours at a cost of $6.70 per hour.

d. Incurred variable manufacturing overhead cost totaling $4,930 for the month. A total of 1,700 machine-hours was recorded.

It is the company’s policy to close all variances to cost of goods sold on a monthly basis.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for June:

a. Materials price and quantity variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Material price variance ......
Material quantity variance .....

b. Labor rate and efficiency variances. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Labor rate variance ......
Labor efficiency variance .....

c. Variable overhead rate and efficiency variances. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Variable overhead rate variance .....
Variable overhead efficiency variance .....

2. Summarize the variances that you computed in (1) above by showing the net overall favorable or unfavorable variance for the month. (Input all values as positive amounts. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)

Summary of variances:

  1. Determine Cash Flows

    Natural Foods Inc. is planning to invest in new manufacturing equipment to make a new garden tool. The new garden tool is expected to generate additional annual sales of 5,000 units at $18 each. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $120,000 and is expected to have a 10-year life and a $17,000 residual value. Selling expenses related to the new product are expected to be 3% of sales revenue. The cost to manufacture the product includes the following on a per-unit basis:

    Direct labor $ 2.50
    Direct materials 3.20
    Fixed factory overhead—depreciation 2.40
    Variable factory overhead 0.90
       Total $9.00

    Determine the net cash flows for the first year of the project, Years 2–9, and for the last year of the project. Use the minus sign to indicate cash outflows. Do not round your intermediate calculations but, if required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

    Natural Foods Inc.
    Net Cash Flows

    Initial investment $
    Operating cash flows:

    Total for Year 1 $
    Total for Years 2–9 (operating cash flow) $
    Residual value
    Total for last year $

    Feedback

    For Year 1, subtract the amount to be invested from the operating cash flows (annual revenues less selling expenses less cost to manufacture). For Years 2-10, subtract the selling expenses and the costs to manufacture from the annual revenues. For Year 10 only, add the residual value.

Sunland Steel Corporation, as lessee, signed a lease agreement for equipment for five years, beginning January 31, 2020. Annual rental payments of $50,000 are to be made at the beginning of each lease year (January 31). The insurance and repairs and maintenance costs are the lessee’s obligation. The interest rate used by the lessor in setting the payment schedule is 9%; Sunland’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. Sunland is unaware of the rate being used by the lessor. At the end of the lease, Sunland has the option to buy the equipment for $3,900, which is considerably below its estimated fair value at that time. The equipment has an estimated useful life of seven years with no residual value. Sunland uses straight-line depreciation on similar equipment that it owns, and follows IFRS 16.

Using time value of money tables, a financial calculator, or Excel functions, calculate the PV of the lease obligation. (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.)

Eli Fish Corp. (EFI), a passive investor, owns various investments in debt and equity securities.

EFI’s policy is to prepare journal entries for adjustments and accruals at year end. The company elects to reclassify reserves (accumulated other comprehensive income) to retained earnings upon derecognition of investments in equity securities at FVOCI-elect.

EFI engaged in various investment-related transactions as detailed below. All interest and dividend payments were received on the scheduled payment dates. While the resulting journal entries will all be entered to the nearest dollar, EFI rounds all dollar-based calculations to the nearest whole cent (for example, $50.22) and percentages to four decimal places (for example, 11.9876%). You should do likewise in your supporting calculations.
