The Ramirez Company uses standard costing in its manufacturing plant for auto parts. The standard cost of a particular auto​ part, based on a denominator level of 4,200 output units per​ year, included 5 ​machine-hours of variable manufacturing overhead at $9 per hour and 5 ​machine-hours of fixed manufacturing overhead at $17 per hour. Actual output produced was 4,600 units. Variable manufacturing overhead incurred was $260,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead incurred was $375,000. Actual ​machine-hours were 27,500.

Requirements

Requirement 1. Prepare an analysis of all variable manufacturing overhead and fixed manufacturing overhead​ variances, using the​ 4-variance analysis. Begin by calculating the following amounts for the variable overhead.

Now complete the table below for the fixed manufacturing overhead.

Now complete the​ 4-variance analysis using the amounts you calculated above. ​(If no variance​ exists, leave the dollar value blank. Label the variance as favorable​ (F), unfavorable​ (U) or never a variance​ (N).)

Requirement 2. Prepare journal entries using the​ 4-variance analysis. Record the actual variable

manufacturing overhead incurred. ​(Record debits​ first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal​ entries.)

As the controller of a medium-sized financial services company, you take pride in the accounting and internal control systems you have developed for the company. You and your staff have kept up with changes in the accounting industry and been diligent in updating the systems to meet new accounting standards. Your outside auditor, which has been reviewing the company’s books for 15 years, routinely complimented you on your thorough procedures. The passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, with its emphasis on testing internal control systems, initiated several changes. You have studied the law and made adjustments to ensure you comply with the regulations, even though it has created additional work. Your auditors, however, have chosen to interpret SOX very aggressively—too much so, in your opinion. The auditors have recommended that you make costly improvements to your systems and also enlarged the scope of the audit process, raising their fees. When you question the partner in charge, he explains that the complexity of the law means that it is open to interpretation and it is better to err on the side of caution than risk noncompliance. You are not pleased with this answer, as you believe that your company is in compliance with SOX, and consider changing auditors. Using a web search tool, locate articles about this topic and then write responses to the following questions. Be sure to support your arguments and cite your sources.

Ethical Dilemma: Should you change auditors because your current one is too stringent in applying the Sarbanes-Oxley Act? What other steps could you take to resolve this situation?

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small plant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost. Last year, the company sold 56,000 of these balls, with the following results: Sales (56,000 balls) $ 1,400,000 Variable expenses 840,000 Contribution margin 560,000 Fixed expenses 373,000 Net operating income $ 187,000 Required: 1. Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year’s sales level. 2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls? 3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $187,000, as last year? 4. Refer again to the data in (2) above. The president feels that the company must raise the selling price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year (as computed in requirement 1a), what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs? 5. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company’s new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls? 6. Refer to the data in (5) above. a. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $187,000, as last year? b. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 56,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.
