Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 10% return on invested assets.

Required:
1. Determine the amount of desired profit from the production and sale of flat panel displays.
2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage, and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays.*
3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays.*
4. (Appendix) Assuming that the variable cost method is used, determine (a) the cost amount per unit, (b) the markup percentage, and (c) the selling price of flat panel displays.*
5. Comment on any additional considerations that could influence establishing the selling price for flat panel displays.
6. Assume that as of August 1, 3,000 units of flat panel displays have been produced and sold during the current year. Analysis of the domestic market indicates that 2,000 additional units are expected to be sold during the remainder of the year at the normal product price determined under the product cost method. On August 3, Crystal Displays Inc. received an offer from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 600 units of flat panel displays at $224 each. Maple Leaf Visual Inc. will market the units in Canada under its own brand name, and no variable selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale will be incurred by Crystal Displays Inc. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic sales of flat panel displays, and the additional units could be produced using existing factory, selling, and administrative capacity.
a. Prepare a differential analysis of the proposed sale to Maple Leaf Visual Inc. Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter “0”. A colon (:) will automatically appear if required.
b. Based on the differential analysis in part (a), should the proposal be accepted?
*Round your markup percentage and selling price to two decimal places.

Fletcher Manufacturing has 7.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $49 and the book value per share is $4. Fletcher Manufacturing also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a total face value of $60 million, a coupon rate of 7%, and sells for 93% of par. The second issue has a face value of $50 million, a coupon rate of 6.5%, and sells for 96.5% of par. The first issue matures in 10 years, the second in 6 years. Suppose the company's stock has a beta of 1.2. The risk-free rate is 5.2% and the market risk premium is 7%. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semi-annual payments. The tax rate is 35%

Cannon Construction (Cannon or the “Company”), an SEC registrant, is a construction company that manufactures commercial and residential buildings. On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a customer, Thornock Square Apartments, to construct a residential apartment building for a fixed price of $1.5 million. The Company estimates that it will incur costs of $1 million to complete construction of the apartment building. The apartment building will only transfer to Thornock Square Apartments once the construction of the entire building is complete. In addition, Thornock Square Apartments has various design requirements that would require Cannon to incur significant costs to rework the building prior to selling it to a customer other than Thornock Square Apartments.
To construct the apartment building, Cannon acquires standard materials that it regularly uses in construction contracts for both residential and commercial buildings. These materials are used to manufacture generic component parts for inclusion in Thornock Square Apartments’ residential buildings. These standard materials remain interchangeable with other items until they are deployed in Thornock Square Apartments building. The Company has made the following purchases and incurred the following costs throughout the construction progress:
A. As of June 30, 2017, in total, Cannon has purchased $75,000 of component parts. As of June 30, 2017, $25,000 of component parts remain in inventory and $50,000 have been integrated into the project. Further, Cannon has incurred $12,500 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Thornock Square Apartments construction project during the three months ended June 30, 2017.
B. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, Cannon purchased an additional $500,000 of component parts ($575,000 in total). Of the $575,000 of component parts, $325,000 remain in inventory and $200,000 have been integrated into the project during the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, Cannon incurred an additional $50,000 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Thornock Square Apartments construction project.
C. As of September 30, 2017, Cannon determined that the project was over budget and revised its cost estimate from $1 million to $1.25 million.
D. As of December 31 2017, the construction project was completed. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, Cannon purchased an additional $425,000 of generic component parts ($1 million in total). Of the $1 million component parts, $0 remain in inventory and $750,000 were integrated into the project during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Cannon has incurred $187,500 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Thornock Square Apartments construction project during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
If Thornock Square Apartments cancels the contract, Cannon will be entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred for work completed to date plus a margin of 20 percent, which is considered to be a reasonable margin. Cannon will not be reimbursed for any materials that have been purchased for use in the contract but have not yet been used and are still controlled by Cannon.

Question from scenario:

1)Does the performance obligation meet any of the criteria for recognition of revenue over time? Discuss which criteria (if any) is met and how is met.

2)How should the entity recognize revenue for the satisfaction of its performance obligation? What amount of revenue should be recognized for the following periods: a. The three months ended June 30, 2017? b. The three months ended September 30, 2017? c. The three months ended December 31, 2017?

3) create a schedule summarizing your calculations to arrive at revenue to be recognized each year.
