Your company has a travel policy that reimburses employees for the “ordinary and necessary” costs of business travel. Employees often mix a business trip with pleasure by either extending the time at the destination or traveling from the business destination to a nearby resort or other personal destination. When this happens, an allocation must be made between the business and personal portions of the trip. However, the travel policy is unclear on the allocation method to follow.

Consider this example. An employee obtained a business-class ticket for $9,558 and traveled the following itinerary:

From	To	Miles	One-Way Regular Fare			Purpose
Chicago	Paris	4,170	$	3,720		Business
Paris	Rio de Janeiro	5,770		4,450		Personal
Rio de Janeiro	Chicago	5,290		3,100		Return

On the date of the flights between Chicago and Paris (and return), a restricted round-trip fare of $4,980 was available.

Required:

a. Compute the business portion of the airfare and state the basis for the indicated allocation that is appropriate according to each of the following independent scenarios:

1. Based on the maximum reimbursement for the employee.

2. Based on the minimum cost to the company.

Direct material purchases and budgeted payments
Campbell Manufacturing intends to start business on January 1. Production plans for the first four months of operations are as follows:

January	8,000	units
February	20,000	units
March	28,000	units

Silven Industries, which manufactures and sells a highly successful line of summer lotions and insect repellents, has decided to diversify in order to stabilize sales throughout the year. A natural area for the company to consider is the production of winter lotions and creams to prevent dry and chapped skin.

After considerable research, a winter products line has been developed. However, Silven’s president has decided to introduce only one of the new products for this coming winter. If the product is a success, further expansion in future years will be initiated.

The product selected (called Chap-Off) is a lip balm that will be sold in a lipstick-type tube. The product will be sold to wholesalers in boxes of 24 tubes for $11 per box. Because of excess capacity, no additional fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be incurred to produce the product. However, a $99,000 charge for fixed manufacturing overhead will be absorbed by the product under the company’s absorption costing system.

please just answer 5,6,7

Using the estimated sales and production of 110,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following manufacturing cost per box:

Direct material	$	5.10
Direct labor		3.40
Manufacturing overhead		2.30
Total cost	$	10.80

The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes for Chap-Off, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of buying the tubes. The purchase price of the supplier's empty tubes would be $1.70 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries stops making the tubes and buys them from the outside supplier, its direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and its direct materials costs would be reduced by 20%.

Required: (do not do 1-4, please begin at question 5)

1. If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, how much of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box will it be able to avoid? (Hint: You need to separate the manufacturing overhead of $2.30 per box that is shown above into its variable and fixed components to derive the correct answer.)

2. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) per box of Chap-Off if Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier?

3. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) in total (not per box) if Silven buys 110,000 boxes of tubes from the outside supplier?

4. Should Silven Industries make or buy the tubes?

5. What is the maximum price that Silven should be willing to pay the outside supplier for a box of 24 tubes?

6. Instead of sales of 110,000 boxes of tubes, revised estimates show a sales volume of 150,000 boxes of tubes. At this higher sales volume, Silven would need to rent extra equipment at a cost of $60,000 per year to make the additional 40,000 boxes of tubes. Assuming that the outside supplier will not accept an order for less than 150,000 boxes of tubes, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) in total (not per box) if Silven buys 150,000 boxes of tubes from the outside supplier? Given this new information, should Silven Industries make or buy the tubes?

7. Refer to the data in (6) above. Assume that the outside supplier will accept an order of any size for the tubes at a price of $1.70 per box. How many boxes of tubes should Silven make? How many boxes of tubes should it buy from the outside supplier?

2. The direct labor rate of $10 per hour is expected to remain unchanged during the coming year.

3. Fixed manufacturing costs total $585,000 per year. Variable overhead costs are $3 per direct labor-hour.

4. All of the company’s nonmanufacturing costs are fixed.

5. The company’s finished goods inventory is negligible and can be ignored.

Required:

1. How many direct labor hours are used to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products?

2. How much variable overhead cost is incurred to manufacture one unit of each of the company’s five products?

3. What is the contribution margin per direct labor-hour for each of the company’s five products?

4. Assuming that direct labor-hours is the company’s constraining resource, what is the highest total contribution margin that the company can earn if it makes optimal use of its constrained resource?

5. Assuming that the company has made optimal use of its 94,500 direct labor-hours, what is the highest direct labor rate per hour that Walton Toy Company would be willing to pay for additional capacity (that is, for added direct labor time)?

Auditing case 2:

audit planning and risk assessment of a scooter trader

Ivy Bishnoi is preparing a report for the engagement partner of an existing client, Scooter Ltd., an importer of scooters and other low-powered motorcycles. Ivy has been investigating certain aspects of Scooter Ltd.’s business given the change in economic conditions over the past 12 months. She has found that Scooter Ltd.’s business, which experienced rapid growth over its first five years in operation, has slowed significantly during the last year. Initially, sales of scooters were boosted by good economic conditions and solid employment growth, coupled with rising gas prices. Consumers needed transport to get to work and the high gas prices made the relatively cheap running costs of scooters seem very attractive. In addition, the low purchase price of a small motorcycle or scooter, at between $3,000 and $8,000, meant that almost anyone who had a job could obtain a loan to buy one.

However, Ivy has found that the sales of small motorcycles and scooters have slowed significantly and that all importers of these products, not just Scooter Ltd., are being adversely affected. The onset of an economic recession has restricted employment growth, and those people who still have jobs are less certain of continued employment. In addition, the slowdown in the world economy has caused oil prices to fall, further reducing demand for this type of economical transport. Ivy has also discovered that, due to the global financial crisis, the finance company used by Scooter Ltd.’s customers to finance. the purchase of scooters and motorcycles has announced that it will not be continuing to provide loans for any type of vehicle with a purchase price of less than $10,000.

Required:

(a) Identify the issues that potentially have an impact on the audit of Scooter Ltd.

(b) Explain how each issue affects the audit plan by identifying the risks and the financial statement accounts that require closer examination
