1 73,600
2 86,600
3 105,750
4 97,900
5 67,600

Production of the implants will require $1,650,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 20 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,500,000 per year, variable production costs are $258 per unit, and the units are priced at $384 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $17,100,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 25 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 23 percent the required return is 15 percent. MACRS schedule

Nautical Creations is one of the largest producers of miniature ships in a bottle. An especially complex part of one of the ships needs special production equipment that is not useful for other products. The company purchased this equipment early in 2015 for $200,000. It is now early in 2019, and the manager of the Model Ships Division, Jeri Finley, is thinking about purchasing new equipment to make this part. The current equipment will last for six more years with zero disposal value at that time. It can be sold immediately for $30,000. The following are last year's total manufacturing costs, when production was 8,600 ships: Direct materials $33,970 Direct labor 31,390 Variable overhead 14,190 Fixed overhead 37,840 Total $117,390 The cost of the new equipment is $145,000. It has a six year useful life with an estimated disposal value at that time of $40,000. The sales representative selling the new equipment stated, "The new equipment will allow direct labor and variable overhead combined to be reduced by a total of $1.90 per unit." Finley thinks this estimate is accurate, but also knows that a higher quality of direct material will be necessary with the new equipment, costing $0.23 more per unit. Fixed overhead costs will decrease by $4,800. Finley expects production to be 9,050 ships in each of the next six years. Assume a discount rate of 3%. REQUIRED 1. What is the difference in net present values if Nautical Creations buys the new equipment instead of keeping their current equipment?

Miller Cereals is a small milling company that makes a single brand of cereal. Recently, a business school intern recommended that the company introduce a second cereal in order to “diversify the product portfolio.” Currently, the company shows an operating profit that is 20 percent of sales. With the single product, other costs were twice the cost of rent.

The intern estimated that the incremental profit of the new cereal would only be 7.5 percent of the incremental revenue, but it would still add to total profit. On his last day, the intern told Miller’s marketing manager that his analysis was on the company laptop in a spreadsheet with a file name, NewProduct.xlsx. The intern then left for a 12-month walkabout in the outback of Australia and cannot be reached.

When the marketing manager opened the file, it was corrupted and could not be opened. She then found an early (incomplete) copy on the company’s backup server. The incomplete spreadsheet is shown as follows. The marketing manager then called a cost management accountant in the controller’s office and asked for help in reconstructing the analysis.

Required:

As the management accountant, fill in the blank cells. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole number. Enter all amounts as positive values.)

Number of checkbooks

13,000

Selling price per book

$22

Variable cost per book

$8

Fixed costs for the month

$140,000

The actual results for September 2017 were as​ follows:

Number of checkbooks produced and sold

1.

Prepare a​ static-budget-based variance analysis of the September performance.

Begin with the actual​ results, then compute the static budget and the​ static-budget variances. Label each variance as favorable or unfavorable.​ (Enter an operating loss with a minus sign or​ parentheses.)

2.

Prepare a​ flexible-budget-based variance analysis of the September performance.

3.

Why might Bank Organizer find the​ flexible-budget-based variance analysis more informative than the​ static-budget-based variance​ analysis? Explain your answer.

The executive vice president of the company observed that the operating income for September was much lower than​ anticipated, despite a​ higher-than-budgeted selling price and a​ lower-than-budgeted variable cost per unit. As the​ company's management​ accountant, you have been asked to provide explanations for the disappointing September results. Bank Organizer develops its flexible budget on the basis of budgeted​ per-output-unit revenue and​ per-output-unit variable costs without detailed analysis of budgeted inputs.

  1. For this and the next 3 question. New York Waste (NYW) is considering refunding a $50,000,000, annual payment, 14.5% coupon, 30-year bond issue that was issued 5 years ago. It has been amortizing $3 million of flotation costs on these bonds over their 30-year life. The company could sell a new issue of 25-year bonds at an annual interest rate of 11.67% in today's market. A call premium of 14% would be required to retire the old bonds, and flotation costs on the new issue would be $3 million. The company's marginal tax rate is 40%. The new bonds would be issued when the old bonds are called. Calculate the initial cost of the refunding?

    $5,049,939

    $5,315,725

  1. Single Plantwide Rate and Activity-Based Costing

    Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators:

    Three Representative
    Refrigerators
    Number of
    Machine Hours
    Number of
    Setups
    Number of
    Sales Orders
    Number of
    Units
    Refrigerator—Low Volume 120 21 63 600
    Refrigerator—Medium Volume 310 20 140 1,550
    Refrigerator—High Volume 960 14 210 4,800

    Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was $600 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows:


    Machining Activity

    Setup Activity
    Sales Order
    Processing Activity
    Activity rate $580 $900 $200

    a. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C).

    If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. Round percents to one decimal place. For column C, use the minus sign to indicate a negative or decrease.

    Column A Column B Column C


    Product Volume Class
    Single Rate
    Overhead Allocation
    Per Unit
    ABC
    Overhead Allocation
    Per Unit

    Percent Change in
    Allocation
    Low $ $ %
    Medium $ $ %
    High $ $ %

    b. Why is the traditional overhead rate per machine hour greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method?

    The machine hour rate is greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method because 100% of the factory overhead is is allocated by machine hours under the single rate method. However, only a portion of the factory overhead is allocated under the machine rate method using activity-based costing. The remaining factory overhead is allocated using the . Thus, the numerator for for determining the machine hour rate under activity-based costing must be less than the numerator under the single machine hour rate method.

    c. Interpret Column C in your table from part (A).

    Column C indicates that under activity-based costing the low-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. In contrast, under activity-based costing the high-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. This result will occur when there are activities that occur in proportions different from their volumes. In this case, volume products have setups and sales orders occurring in higher proportions of total setups and sales orders than their proportion of machine hours to total machine hours. The opposite is the case for the volume product. Thus, the lower-volume products are produced and ordered in batch sizes compared to the higher-volume product. This implies that Whirlpool may wish to simplify its product line by eliminating some of the volume products or by attempting to reduce the overall cost of setup and sales order processing activities.

he president of the retailer Prime Products has just approached the company’s bank with a request for a $49,000, 90-day loan. The purpose of the loan is to assist the company in acquiring inventories. Because the company has had some difficulty in paying off its loans in the past, the loan officer has asked for a cash budget to help determine whether the loan should be made. The following data are available for the months April through June, during which the loan will be used:

  1. On April 1, the start of the loan period, the cash balance will be $38,500. Accounts receivable on April 1 will total $148,400, of which $127,200 will be collected during April and $16,960 will be collected during May. The remainder will be uncollectible.

  2. Past experience shows that 30% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale, 60% in the month following sale, and 8% in the second month following sale. The other 2% is bad debts that are never collected. Budgeted sales and expenses for the three-month period follow:

April May June
Sales (all on account) $ 480,000 $ 450,000 $ 327,000
Merchandise purchases $ 315,000 $ 183,000 $ 163,000
Payroll $ 21,400 $ 21,400 $ 19,800
Lease payments $ 34,200 $ 34,200 $ 34,200
Advertising $ 74,600 $ 74,600 $ 65,800
Equipment purchases $ 75,000
Depreciation $ 16,200 $ 16,200 $ 16,200
  1. Merchandise purchases are paid in full during the month following purchase. Accounts payable for merchandise purchases during March, which will be paid in April, total $186,000.

  2. In preparing the cash budget, assume that the $49,000 loan will be made in April and repaid in June. Interest on the loan will total $840.

Required:

1. Calculate the expected cash collections for April, May, and June, and for the three months in total.

2. Prepare a cash budget, by month and in total, for the three-month period.
