Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $150 and $110, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 108,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Required:

1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for each of the two products?

2. What is the company’s total amount of common fixed expenses?

3. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 86,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 16,000 additional Alphas for a price of $104 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer's order?

5. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 101,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer who is willing to buy 16,000 additional Alphas for a price of $104 per unit; however pursuing this opportunity will decrease Alpha sales to regular customers by 9,000 units.

a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the new customer’s order?

b. Based on your calculations above should the special order be accepted?

This time Ron is at his wits end. He has sent the accounting team out of his office to rework the numbers. "That simply cannot make sense. If I'm making more than I'm spending, it's a good decision; right?" He walks into your office for your weekly meeting and asks rhetorically "If I'm spending $2,000,000 today on a new plant and that new plant is going to produce $205,000 for each of the next ten years in income how can that possibly be a negative net decision for the company?"

Can you explain to Ron the concept involved and how that could be a "negative net decision"?

Your company is trying to decide between the following three projects. In your calculations, assume a 6% interest rate. Project A Project B Project C Project A has $400 in upfront costs in year 0 and gets 250 in benefits in year 0. It accrues $300 in benefits each year in years 1-3, and has annual costs of $200 in years 1-3. Project B costs $1300 in year 0 and has no benefits in year 0. It accrues $650 in benefits each year in years 1-3. Annual costs in years 1-3 are $450. Project C has $1000 in upfront benefits and 1600 in costs in year 0. It accrues 600 in benefits in years 1-3 and 350 in costs in years 1-3. Time value of money. Using the discounting techniques we learned in class (assume an interest rate of 6%), appropriately discount the costs and benefits of the three projects. Which project will have a higher return on investment? Be sure to show your work (10 pts). Which project achieves payback faster? (5 pts)?

For many years, Thomson Company manufactured a single product called LEC 40. Then three years ago, the company automated a portion of its plant and at the same time introduced a second product called LEC 90 that has become increasingly popular. The LEC 90 is a more complex product, requiring 0.80 hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture and extensive machining in the automated portion of the plant. The LEC 40 requires only 0.40 hours of direct labor time per unit and only a small amount of machining. Manufacturing overhead costs are currently assigned to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Despite the growing popularity of the company’s new LEC 90, profits have been declining steadily. Management is beginning to believe that there may be a problem with the company’s costing system. Direct material and direct labor costs per unit are as follows: LEC 40 LEC 90 Direct materials $ 30.00 $ 50.00 Direct labor (0.40 hours and 0.80 hours @ $15.00 per hour) $ 6.00 $ 12.00 Management estimates that the company will incur $912,000 in manufacturing overhead costs during the current year and 60,000 units of the LEC 40 and 20,000 units of the LEC 90 will be produced and sold. 1-a. compute the predetermined overhead rate assuming that the company continues to apply manufacturing overhead cost on the basis of direct labor hours. 1-b. using this rate and other data from the problem, determine the unit product cost of each product. 2. management is considering using activity-based costing to assign manufacturing overhead cost to products. The activity-based costing systemm would have all following four activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Estimated Overhead Cost Maintaining parts inventory Number of part types $ 225,000 Processing purchase orders Number of purchase orders 182,000 Quality control Number of tests run 45,000 Machine-related Machine-hours 460,000 $ 912,000 Expected Activity Activity Measure LEC 40 LEC 90 Total Number of part types 600 900 1,500 Number of purchase orders 2,000 800 2,800 Number of tests run 500 1,750 2,250 Machine-hours 1,600 8,400 10,000 Determine the activity rate for each of the four activity cost pools. 3. using the activity rates you computed in part 2 a. determine the per unit amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would be assigned to each product using the activity based costing system,. b. compute the unit product cost of each product

Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A., of Greece makes marine equipment. The company has been experiencing losses on its bilge pump product line for several years. The most recent quarterly contribution format income statement for the bilge pump product line follows:

*Common costs allocated on the basis of machine-hours.

†Common costs allocated on the basis of sales dollars.

Discontinuing the bilge pump product line would not affect sales of other product lines and would have no effect on the company’s total general factory overhead or total Purchasing Department expenses.

Required:

What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line?

1. In the 30 June 2018 annual report of Baker and Anderson Ltd, the equipment was reported as follows:

      Equipment                                                    $650,000

      Accumulated depreciation                         ($280,000)     $370,000

The equipment consisted of two machines, Machine X and Machine Y. Both machines are measured using the cost model and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period. As at 30 June 2018, these machines were reported as follows:

Machine X – Cost                                        $380,000

Carrying amount                                          $190,000

Machine Y – Cost                                        $270,000

Carrying amount                                          $180,000                                                      

On 31 December 2018, the directors of Baker and Anderson Ltd decided to change the basis of measuring equipment from the cost model to fair value model. Machine X was revalued to $200,000 with an expected useful life of 6 years, and Machine Y was revalued to $160,000 with an expected useful life of 5 years.

On 1 July 2019, Machine X was assessed to have a fair value of $175,000 with an expected useful life of 5 years, and Machine Y’s fair value was $143,000 with an expected useful life of 4 years.

Required:

1. Prepare the revaluation journal entries for both Machines X and Y required for the event on 1 July 2019 (5 journal entries required). Show all workings.
