Dell is considering replacing one of its material handling systems. The old system was purchased 7 years ago for $130,000 and was depreciated as MACRS-GDS 5-year property since the system is used in the manufacture of electronic components. It has an annual O&M cost of $48,000, a remaining operational life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $6,000 at that time. A new system can be purchased for $175,000. It will be worth $50,000 in 8 years, and it will have annual O&M costs of only $17,000 per year due to new technology. If the new system is purchased, the old system will be traded in for $55,000, even though the old system can be sold for only $45,000 on the open market. Leasing a new system will cost $31,000 per year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $15,000 per year payable at year-end. If the new system is leased, the existing material handling system will be sold for its market value of $45,000. Use an 8-year planning horizon, an annual worth analysis, a tax rate of 40 percent, and an after-tax MARR of 9 percent to decide which material handling system to recommend: keep existing, trade in existing and purchase new, or sell existing and lease.

a. Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). (11.2.2)

b. Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach), except note that a Section 1031 like-kind property exchange is to be used. The equipment replaced will continue to be replaced by like-kind investments in the United States indefinitely. Recall that a Section 1031 like-kind property exchange does not apply to leases.

Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process. The inventory of Work in Process-Filling on April 1 and debits to the account during April 2016 were as follows:

During April, 700 units in process on April 1 were completed, and of the 7,400 units entering the department, all were completed except 500 units that were 90% completed.

Charges to Work in Process-Filling for May were as follows:

During May, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 9,500 units entering the department, all were completed except 400 units that were 35% completed.

Milo Company manufactures beach umbrellas. The company is preparing detailed budgets for the third quarter and has assembled the following information to assist in the budget preparation:

The Marketing Department has estimated sales as follows for the remainder of the year (in units):

The selling price of the beach umbrellas is $12 per unit.

All sales are on account. Based on past experience, sales are collected in the following pattern:

Sales for June totaled $264,000.

The company maintains finished goods inventories equal to 15% of the following month’s sales. This requirement will be met at the end of June.

Each beach umbrella requires 4 feet of Gilden, a material that is sometimes hard to acquire. Therefore, the company requires that the ending inventory of Gilden be equal to 50% of the following month’s production needs. The inventory of Gilden on hand at the beginning and end of the quarter will be:

Gilden costs $0.80 per foot. One-half of a month’s purchases of Gilden is paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable on July 1 for purchases of Gilden during June will be $48,920.

Calculate the estimated sales, by month and in total, for the third quarter.

Calculate the expected cash collections, by month and in total, for the third quarter.

Calculate the estimated quantity of beach umbrellas that need to be produced in July, August, September, and October.

Seven metrics

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Woodwork Enterprises Inc. for the current fiscal year. Assuming that there are no intangible assets.

Determine the following: (a) debt ratio, (b) ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities, (c) ratio of liabilities to stockholders’ equity, (d) asset turnover, (e) return on total assets, (f) return on stockholders’ equity, and (g) return on common stockholders' equity. Round to two decimal places.

Feedback

(a) Divide total liabilities by total assets. Use the accounting equation to find total assets i.e., Total Assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity

(b) Divide property, plant and equipment (net) by long-term liabilities.

(c) Divide total liabilities by total stockholders’ equity.

(d) Divide net sales by average total assets, excluding long-term investments. Average Total Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) ÷ 2
To find ending total assets, use the accounting equation and substitute ending liabilities + stockholders’ equity for the amount.

(e) Divide the sum of net income plus interest expense by average total assets. Average Total Assets = (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets) ÷ 2
To find ending total assets, use the accounting equation and substitute ending liabilities + stockholders’ equity for the amount.

(f) Divide net income by average stockholders’ equity. Average Total Stockholders’Equity = (Beginning Stockholders’Equity + Ending Stockholders’Equity) ÷ 2

(g) Divide net income minus preferred dividends by average common stockholders’ equity. Common stockholders’ equity = Common stock + Retained earnings
Average common stockholders’ equity = (Beginning common stockholders’ equity + Ending common stockholders’ equity) ÷ 2

Early in 2015, Logan Corporation engaged Reese, Inc. to design and construct a complete modernization of Logan's manufacturing facility. Construction was begun on January 1, 2015 and was completed on December 31, 2015. Logan made the following payments to Reese, Inc. during 2015:

In order to help finance the construction, Logan issued $2,000,000 of 10-year, 9% bonds payable, issued at par on January 2, 2015, with interest payable annually on December 31.

In addition to the 9% bonds payable, the only debt outstanding during 2015 was a $500,000, 12% note payable dated January 1, 2010 and due January 1, 2020, with interest payable annually on January 1 and a $1,000,000, 10% bond payable dated July 1, 2011 due June 30, 2021 with interest paid annually.

Compute the interest to be capitalized in 2015. Logan uses the specific interest method. Show computations. The correct answer should be $244,200

(TCO H) Audit risk consists of inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. (a) Please completely define each of the above. (b) Indicate whether each of the statements below is true or false and explain your position. (1) The risk that material misstatement will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal controls can be reduced to 0 by having effective controls in place. (2) Detection risk is a function of the efficiency of an auditing procedure. (3) Cash is more susceptible to theft than an inventory of coal because it has greater inherent risk. (4) The inherent risk of the theft of an inventory of cell phones at a mall store is greater than the misappropriation of cash at a COSTCO store.

(TCOs E and F) A Remington School District employee has been charged with theft and forgery for allegedly stealing approximately $72,000 in district funds.

Mary Blaner, 51, was charged in District Court with one count of second-degree felony theft and five counts of third-degree felony forgery. She is the second school district employee to be formally charged with stealing from the district. Both individuals were charged in separate and apparently unrelated cases.
Blaner, who was the district's payroll clerk, allegedly arranged electronic direct deposits of funds for nonexistent employees that then went to her, according to the police. Blaner was a trusted employee who had worked at the district for over 10 years. (Note: She just went through a divorce and has four children to support. She needs money for her children and a new car and had plans to pay the money back later.)
"Over the course of the last 15 months, she was able to allegedly siphon funds out of their (the district's) account into her account, and she allegedly set up fictitious employees." School district officials became suspicious when they had trouble balancing the district's account. After an internal audit, school officials came across payroll listings for workers who did not have any matching Social Security numbers. Another school district employee, Cindy Heap, who formerly worked as an elementary school secretary, earlier was charged with theft and 11 counts of forgery in a different case, according to Gary Searle, deputy county attorney. Heap allegedly took just under $90,000 in district funds, Searle said. Heap, 32, resigned from her job.

(1) What factors allowed these frauds to occur?
(2) What do you think the school district should do in the future to prevent fraud from occurring in the future?
(3) What responsibility do you feel the current school external auditor has to detect this fraud?
(4) How have the three elements of the Fraud Triangle enabled Mary to commit this fraud?
