Martinez Co. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,690,000. It received a downpayment of $550,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,140,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,140,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2016, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 11%.

- Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2016.

- Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2020, using the effective interest method.

- Assume that on July 1, 2019, Martinez Co. redeems half of the bonds at a cost of $1,173,900 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entry to record this redemption.

The company has recently converted its cost accounting system to activity-based costing. The following are the cost data that Jane Price, the cost accountant, prepared for the third quarter of 2018 (during which Adams made 70,000 tennis racquets and 29,400 badminton racquets).

   

Direct Cost Tennis Racquet (TR) Badminton Racquet (BR)
Direct materials $ 17.60 per unit $ 14.60 per unit
Direct labor 34.50 per unit 27.50 per unit

Product level 142,500 Number of TV commercials TR: 4; BR: 1
Facility level 630,000 Number of machine hours TR: 30,400 hours; BR: 32,600 hours
Total $ 1,900,900

   
Inspectors are paid according to the number of actual hours worked, which is determined by the number of racquets inspected. Engineers who set up equipment for both products are paid monthly salaries. TV commercial fees are paid at the beginning of the quarter. Facility-level cost includes depreciation of all production equipment.

   
Required

  1. Compute the cost per unit for each product.

  2. If management wants to price badminton racquets 30 percent above cost, what price should the company set?

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $7 per direct labor hour. It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 20,000 direct labor hours (10,000 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $80,000 ($4.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $60,000 ($3.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 9,700 units were as follows.

Direct materials (20,000 pounds)

The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.

Instructions

Boyne University offers an extensive continuing education program in many cities throughout the state. For the convenience of its faculty and administrative staff and to save costs, the university operates a motor pool. The motor pool’s monthly planning budget is based on operating 19 vehicles; however, for the month of March the university purchased one additional vehicle. The motor pool furnishes gasoline, oil, and other supplies for its automobiles. A mechanic does routine maintenance and minor repairs. Major repairs are performed at a nearby commercial garage.

The following cost control report shows actual operating costs for March of the current year compared to the planning budget for March.

Decision on Accepting Additional Business

Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 196,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 150,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $97 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 23,000 tires for $81.75 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:

Direct materials

$37

Direct labor

14

Factory overhead (70% variable)

22

Selling and administrative expenses (40% variable)

19

Total

$92

Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $5 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $117,300.

a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.
