Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell 36,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:

The Rets normally sell for $50 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $324,000 per year within the range of 30,000 through 36,000 Rets per year.

Required:

1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retail chain has offered to purchase 6,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no sales commissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have to purchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain’s name on the 6,000 units. This machine would cost $12,000. Polaski Company has no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 30,000 Rets through regular channels next year. The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 6,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and it would reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army would pick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 36,000 Rets through regular channels next year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army’s order would require giving up regular sales of 6,000 Rets. Given this new information, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?

At the end of December 20Y6, the following unit sales data were reported for the year:

The unit selling price for the 8" × 10" frame is expected to increase to $17 and the unit selling price for the 12" × 16" frame is expected to increase to $32, effective January 1, 20Y7.

Required:

1. Compute the increase or decrease of actual unit sales for the year ended December 31, 20Y6, over budget.

Enter any decreases beginning with a minus (-) sign.

2. Assuming that the increase or decrease in actual sales to budget indicated in part (1) is to continue in 20Y7, compute the unit sales volume to be used for preparing the sales budget for the year ending December 31, 20Y7.

Enter any decreases beginning with a minus (-) sign. Round budgeted units to the nearest whole unit.

On “Bring Your Children to Work Day” at Wing Corporation, Susan Gills, a Wing employee, brought her ten-year-old daughter to work. ACE was installing Wing’s new computer system on that day. After installation, when Susan attempted to adjust the monitor connected to her new computer, she inadvertently knocked the monitor off the desk and onto the floor. The screen shattered causing a shard of glass to strike the child’s toe resulting in four stitches. Susan has blamed the installer, ACE, for placing the monitor in a dangerous position near the back edge of her desk. The damages to this point have been minimal as Susan drove her child to their physician and paid the $20 copay for an office visit. Yet, the Gills family has sued ACE for the following:

Likely future plastic surgery $ 5,000 Emotional distress to Child 500,000 Emotional distress to Susan 1,200,000 Total $1,705,000

ACE’s lawyers believe that this case, with the possible exception of the plastic surgery (for which the HMO won’t pay), is frivolous. ACE has no insurance to cover this sort of liability. If this case goes to court, ACE’s on staff attorneys will handle the case. To eliminate any possible bad press from this case, ACE’s lawyers suggested settling for a “nuisance value” of $10,000. The family rejected this offer out of hand and asked for $200,000 to settle this out of court. ACE has decided, at least at this point, to refuse any further settlement offer.

In the lawyer’s letter to you, ACE’s lawyers indicated that they believe that ACE has “just and meritorious defense available” to fight this case. Furthermore, ACE’s legal counsel for the case indicated that while she agrees that this case is largely frivolous, litigation involving a young child is somewhat of a gamble and that making a definite prediction on the outcome of the case is impossible. In the end she believes the judgment will likely be $5,000 for the plastic surgery. What entry or disclosure, if any, is necessary in this circumstance?   

Also what standard would go along with this?

Scroll down to complete all parts of this task. For each of the following independent situations, select from the option list provided the appropriate effect, if any, on Company A's December 31, Year 3, financial statements. Each choice may be used once, more than once, or not at all. Situation Effect 1. On December 31, Year 3, Company A incurred a probable loss that can be reasonably estimated between $50,000 and $300,000. No amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other. Accrual of a liability of $50,000 2. The occurrence of a gain contingency is probable and its amount can be reasonably estimated as $300,000. Disclosure in the notes but not an accrual 3. On December 1, Year 3, one of Company A's customers filed a lawsuit against the company. Company A's management concludes that $300,000 is the reliable estimate of the costs that would result from the unfavorable ruling against the company. The company's management and legal counsel agree that the likelihood of an unfavorable ruling is remote. Neither an accrual nor a disclosure 4. On December 1, Year 3, one of Company A's employees sued the company for damages caused by unsafe working conditions. At the end of Year 3, management concludes that it is probable Company A will be held liable for damages, and that $300,000 would be a reasonable estimate of the amount to be paid to the employee to settle the lawsuit. Company A's $1 million comprehensive liability insurance policy has a $50,000 deductible clause. Accrual of a liability of $50,000 5. On December 31, Year 3, Company A's management and legal counsel agree that it is probable that the company will have to pay $300,000 to settle a lawsuit against the company. Accrual of a liability of $300,000 6. On December 31, Year 3, Company A's management and legal counsel conclude that it is reasonably possible that Company A will be held liable in a lawsuit that was brought by the local government for environmental damages, and that the reasonable estimate of the amount the company will need to pay to settle the suit is between $50,000 and $300,000.

Riggs Company purchases sails and produces sailboats. It currently produces 1,250 sailboats per year, operating at normal capacity, which is about 80% of full capacity. Riggs purchases sails at $263 each, but the company is considering using the excess capacity to manufacture the sails instead. The manufacturing cost per sail would be $93.89 for direct materials, $81.18 for direct labor, and $90 for overhead. The $90 overhead includes $78,400 of annual fixed overhead that is allocated using normal capacity. The president of Riggs has come to you for advice. “It would cost me $265.07 to make the sails,” she says, “but only $263 to buy them. Should I continue buying them, or have I missed something?” Prepare a per unit analysis of the differential costs. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.75. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
