Mary, the plant manager of Southern Oregon Injection Molding, Inc. (SOIM), is pondering an interesting offer made by the president and majority shareholder, Kenny. Kenny recently turned sixty and is planning a gradual retirement. None of his children are interested in taking over the business and are currently pursuing careers unrelated to the plastics industry, so Kenny has decided to offer his controlling share to Mary.
SOIM began by manufacturing plastic lawn ornaments, including a colorful tropical bird that became a major fad in the 1980s. Pleased and amused by the success of his fanciful product, Kenny added rabbits, skunks, trolls, angels, and garden fairies to the product line. Under Mary’s leadership, SOIM has also become an important secondary supplier of plastic housings for speakers, cell phones, calculators, and similar products.
Marry started working at SOIM as a color technician shortly after graduating from Southern Oregon University with a degree in chemical engineering. Within five years, she became the plant manager, a position she has held for the last eight years. Along the way, she has earned an MBA through the evening program at Southern Oregon University.
Because SOIM stock is publicly traded, we can confidently assign a value of $10,000,000 to Kenny’s shares. Kenny has stated that he is open to any reasonable plan to finance the purchase.
Questions
1. Mary could probably borrow the money to purchase the shares outright because the shares would serve as collateral and dividends would cover a good part of the loan payments. The interest rate is 7%, and the lender will amortize the loan with a series of equal payments. What are the annual payments if the bank amortizes the loan over five, ten, or twenty years?
2. Repeat Question 1, but assume that Mary makes payments at the beginning of each year.

Treasure Corp. is a public company and has 100,000 common shares outstanding and 15,000 cumulative $2 preferred shares outstanding. In 2020, the company reported income from continuing operations before income tax of $2,830,000. Additional transactions not considered in the $2,830,000 are as follows: 1. In 2020, Treasure Corp. sold equipment for $65,000. The machine had originally cost $60,000 and had accumulated depreciation to date of $45,000. 2. The company sold one of its subsidiaries during the current year. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The loss on 2020 operations of this subsidiary was $60,000 before tax. The loss from disposal of the subsidiary was $7,000 before tax. 3. Treasure purchased new computers for $20,000 cash at the end of 2020 to take advantage of a supplier promotion. By doing so, the company saved $4,000. 4. At year end, the company reviewed its accounts receivable and determined that a $6,700 of accounts receivable that had been outstanding since May appeared unlikely to be collected. No allowance for doubtful accounts was previously set up. 5. An internal audit discovered that amortization (depreciation) expense on a patent had been erroneously missed for both 2019 and 2020. The patent had a cost of $120,000 and has an 8-year useful life. 6. The company had an unrealized gain of $41,000 (not taxable) on their FV-OCI investment. Instructions: a. Make a list with one to six and for each of the 6 points, indicate if the transaction would effect Continuing Operations, Discontinued Operations, Other Comprehensive Income or N/A and by what before-tax amount, positive or negative. E.g. “8. Discontinued +53,000” b. Taking into account the above information, prepare a Statement of Financial Performance for the year 2020, starting with income from continuing operations before income tax. Calculate earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement (The preferred share dividends are $30,000). Assume a total effective tax rate of 30% on all points, unless otherwise indicated. c. Not all information is created equal. Using an example from the information provided in points 1 through 6, explain how the quality of earning information could have shortcomings. Be clear but concise and limit your answer to two to three sentences.

Change in Estimates. On January 1, 2018, Hogan Manufacturing Co. purchased equipment for $400,000. The company expects the equipment to be in use for 6 years, and to have a salvage value of 10% of the original cost at the end of its useful life. At the beginning of 2020, Hogan revised its estimate of the equipment’s useful life from 6 years to a total of 10 years, and also at that time reduced the estimated salvage value to zero. The company uses the straight-line depreciation method. Compute depreciation expense for 2020

Jarvis University (JU) is a private, multiprogram U.S. university with a $2 billion endowment fund as of fiscal year-end May 31, 2019. With little government support, JU is heavily dependent on its endowment fund to support ongoing expenditures, especially because the university's enrollment growth and tuition revenue have not met expectations in recent years. The endowment fund must make a $126 million annual contribution, which is indexed to inflation, to JU's general operating budget. The U.S. Consumer Price Index is expected to rise 2.5% annually and the U.S. higher education cost index is anticipated to rise 3% annually. The endowment has also budgeted $200 million due on January 31, 2020, representing the final payment for construction of a new main library.
In a recent capital campaign, JU only met its fund-raising goal with the help of one very successful alumna, Valerie Bremner, who donated $400 million of Bertocchi Oil and Gas common stock at fiscal year-end May 31, 2019. Bertocchi Oil and Gas is a large-capitalization, publicly traded U.S. company. Bremner donated the stock on the condition that no more than 25% of the initial number of shares may be sold in any fiscal year. No substantial additional donations are expected in the future. Given the large contribution to and distributions from the endowment fund, the endowment fund's investment committee has decided to revise the fund's investment policy statement. The investment committee also recognizes that a revised asset allocation may be warranted. The asset allocation in place for the JU endowment fund as of May 31, 2019, is given in Table 28E .
a. Prepare the components of an appropriate investment policy statement for the Jarvis University endowment fund as of June 1, 2019, based only on the information given.
Each component in your response must specifically address circumstances of the JU endowment fund.
Table 28

Jarvis University endowment fund asset allocation as of May 31, 2019
b. Determine the most appropriate revised allocation percentage for each asset in Table 28E as of June 1, 2019. Justify each revised allocation percentage.

Problem 16-06 (Part Level Submission) Riverbed Corporation is preparing the comparative financial statements for the annual report to its shareholders for fiscal years ended May 31, 2020, and May 31, 2021. The income from operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020, was $1,827,000 and income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021, was $2,536,000. In both years, the company incurred a 10% interest expense on $2,376,000 of debt, an obligation that requires interest-only payments for 5 years. The company experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $585,000 on February 2021. The company uses a 20% effective tax rate for income taxes. The capital structure of Riverbed Corporation on June 1, 2019, consisted of 1,018,000 shares of common stock outstanding and 19,200 shares of $50 par value, 7%, cumulative preferred stock. There were no preferred dividends in arrears, and the company had not issued any convertible securities, options, or warrants. On October 1, 2019, Riverbed sold an additional 507,000 shares of the common stock at $20 per share. Riverbed distributed a 20% stock dividend on the common shares outstanding on January 1, 2020.
