Bill​ (age 42) and Molly Hickok​ (age 39), residents of​ Anchorage, Alaska, recently told you that they have become increasingly worried about their retirement.​ Bill, a public school​ teacher, dreams of retiring at 62 so they can travel and visit family.​ Molly, a​ self-employed travel​ consultant, is unsure that their current retirement plan will achieve that goal. She is concerned that the cost of living in Alaska along with their lifestyle have them spending at a level they could not maintain. Although they have a nice income of more than $100,000 per​ year, they got a late start planning for​ retirement, which is now just 20 years away. Bill has tried to plan for the future by contributing to his​ 403(b) plan, but he is only investing 6 percent of his income when he could be investing 10 percent. Use what they told you along with the information below to help them prepare for a prosperous retirement.

3. Given their projected Social Security and investment​ income, how much will Bill and Molly need to invest annually to make up their income​ shortfall? What is the annual additional funding requirement to reach their income goal? ​(Round to the nearest​ dollar.)

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control costs and has established the following standards for the Maze toy:

Direct materials: 7 microns per toy at $0.30 per micron

Direct labor: 1.3 hours per toy at $6.80 per hour

During July, the company produced 4,900 Maze toys. The toy's production data for the month are as follows:

Direct materials: 76,000 microns were purchased at a cost of $0.29 per micron. 33,125 of these microns were still in inventory at the end of the month.

Direct labor: 6,870 direct labor-hours were worked at a cost of $50,838.

Required:

1. Compute the following variances for July: (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a. The materials price and quantity variances.

b. The labor rate and efficiency variances.

   Jasmine Company manufactures both pesticide and liquid fertilizer, with each product manufactured in separate departments. Three support departments support the production departments: Power, General Factory, and Purchasing. Budgeted data on the five departments are as follows:

   	Support Departments		Producing Departments
   	Power	General Factory	Purchasing	Pesticide	Liquid Fertilizer
   Overhead	$90,000	$312,000	$165,000	$78,500	$107,700
   Square feet	1,500	—	1,500	4,200	4,800
   Machine hours	—	1,403	1,345	24,000	8,000
   Purchase orders	20	40	—	120	60

   The company does not break overhead into fixed and variable components. The bases for allocation are power—machine hours; general factory—square feet; and purchasing—purchase orders.

   The company has decided to use the sequential method of allocation instead of the direct method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost.

   Required:

   1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the sequential method. Carry out allocation ratios to four decimal places. Use these numbers for subsequent calculations. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

   Allocation ratios:

   	Power	General Factory	Purchasing	Pesticide	Liquid Fertilizer

On January 1, 2021, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $310,000 in long-term liabilities and 20,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Marshall paid $24,000 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $9,000 in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows: Marshall Company Book Value Tucker Company Book Value Cash $ 75,000 $ 38,800 Receivables 354,000 90,000 Inventory 380,000 229,000 Land 246,000 253,000 Buildings (net) 476,000 274,000 Equipment (net) 174,000 50,400 Accounts payable (241,000 ) (41,400 ) Long-term liabilities (480,000 ) (310,000 ) Common stock—$1 par value (110,000 ) Common stock—$20 par value (120,000 ) Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0 Retained earnings, 1/1/21 (514,000 ) (463,800 ) Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance. In Marshall’s appraisal of Tucker, it deemed three accounts to be undervalued on the subsidiary’s books: Inventory by $9,000, Land by $25,800, and Buildings by $32,200. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary. Determine the amounts that Marshall Company would report in its postacquisition balance sheet. In preparing the postacquisition balance sheet, any required adjustments to income accounts from the acquisition should be closed to Marshall’s retained earnings. Other accounts will also need to be added or adjusted to reflect the journal entries Marshall prepared in recording the acquisition. To verify the answers found in part (a), prepare a worksheet to consolidate the balance sheets of these two companies as of January 1, 2021.

On January 1, 20X7, Snow sold Powder a building it had purchased for $635,000 on January 1, 20X1, and depreciated on a 20-year straight-line basis. Powder recorded depreciation for 20X7 using straight-line depreciation and the same useful life and residual value as Snow.

Required:
a. What amount did Powder pay Snow for the building?

b. What amount of accumulated depreciation did Snow report at January 1, 20X7, prior to the sale?

c. What annual depreciation expense did Snow record prior to the sale?

d. What expected residual value did Snow use in computing its annual depreciation expense?

In five years, Kent Duncan will retire. He is exploring the possibility of opening a self-service car wash. The car wash could be managed in the free time he has available from his regular occupation, and it could be closed easily when he retires. After careful study, Mr. Duncan determined the following:

1. A building in which a car wash could be installed is available under a five-year lease at a cost of $5,600 per month.

2. Purchase and installation costs of equipment would total $320,000. In five years the equipment could be sold for about 6% of its original cost.

3. An investment of an additional $8,000 would be required to cover working capital needs for cleaning supplies, change funds, and so forth. After five years, this working capital would be released for investment elsewhere.

4. Both a wash and a vacuum service would be offered. Each customer would pay $1.30 for a wash and $.60 for access to a vacuum cleaner.

5. The only variable costs associated with the operation would be 7.5 cents per wash for water and 10 cents per use of the vacuum for electricity.

6. In addition to rent, monthly costs of operation would be: cleaning, $2,900; insurance, $155; and maintenance, $1,775.

7. Gross receipts from the wash would be about $2,990 per week. According to the experience of other car washes, 60% of the customers using the wash would also use the vacuum.

Mr. Duncan will not open the car wash unless it provides at least a 8% return.

Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:

1. Assuming that the car wash will be open 52 weeks a year, compute the expected annual net cash receipts from its operation.

2-a. Determine the net present value using the net present value method of investment analysis.

2-b. Would you advise Mr. Duncan to open the car wash?

B&B Technologies is considering expanding its operations to include production and sales of high capacity storage devices. The assistant to the CFO has collected a lot of information which is described below. Unfortunately, some of the information may be of questionable relevance, but that is for you to decide. You have asked to present a net present value based analysis to help management decide on the desirability of getting into the storage device business.

The company owns a vacant building near its current manufacturing facility; this building could be used for the expansion, or it could be leased to an interested customer and generate a lease revenue of $250,000, starting this year. The firm could increase the lease charge by 5% every year. The company has some unused equipment that has a book value of $40,000 and a market value of $30,000. This equipment could either be sold or be modified to produce storage devices; the modification would cost $10,000. The old equipment and modification costs would be depreciated straight-line over five years. Producing storage devices would also require the purchase of new equipment costing $900,000. For purposes of depreciation, the new equipment would be in the 7-year MACRS class. This equipment would have a useful life of six years, at the end of which it would have a scrap value of 10% of the purchase price.

Producing storage devices would require an ongoing investment in working capital. Net working capital is expected to be 10% of expected sales for the coming year and would vary with sales, but remain at 10% of expected sales for the coming year. All working capital would be recovered at the end of the six-year life of the investment. The production facility is expected to generate sales revenues of $1,000,000 in the first year; sales are expected to increase at 10% p.a. for three years and then decline by 5% p.a. over the last two years of the project. Operating costs are expected to be 40% of sales. The firm’s effective tax rate of 20% is expected to remain unchanged over the planning period, and the appropriate required rate of return for this investment is 8%.

Tasks:

1. Estimate the net present value and the internal rate of return for this investment.

2. Now suppose the following changes occur: (i) Sales in the first year turn out to be $900,000, (ii) the CGS to sales ratio is 45%, (iii) the NWC to sales ratio is 15%, (iv) the scrap value of the new equipment in year 6 is 5% of the original cost, and (v) the required rate of return is 10%. What is the net present value and the internal rate of return with all of the above changes? Should B&B Technologies get into the storage device business?
