Wallace Printing prints weekly advertisements for 15 customers. For 2016, Wallace budgeted $1,000,000 of manufacturing overhead cost and 20 million pages printed.

For 2016 Wallace Printing decided to evaluate the use of additional cost pools. After analyzing manufacturing overhead costs, it was determined that number of design changes, setups, and inspections are the primary manufacturing overhead cost drivers. The following information was gathered during the analysis:

Cost pool Manufacturing overhead costs Activity level

Design changes $360,000 300 design changes

Setups 600,000 4,000 setups

Inspections 40,000 1,000 inspections

Total overhead costs $1,000,000

During 2016, two of Wallace’s customers, Wealth Managers and Health Systems, used the following printing services:

Activity Wealth Managers Health Systems

Pages 100,000 125,000

Design changes 1 25

Setups 25 30

Inspections 4 15

Wallace Printing charges its customers $0.10 per page printed and uses normal costing. Total direct costs are $0.04 per page printed.

a. Suppose Wallace considers manufacturing overhead costs as one cost pool and allocates overhead based on the number of pages printed. What is the overhead allocation rate?

b. Using the allocation rate determined in the previous question, what is the manufacturing overhead cost allocated to Health Systems for 2016?

c. If Wallace considers manufacturing overhead costs as one cost pool and allocates overhead based on the number of pages printed, what profit (loss) does Wallace earn from Health Systems for 2016?

d. Now suppose Wallace uses activity cost pools. What is the allocation (activity) rate for the inspections cost pool?

e. If Wallace allocates manufacturing overhead costs using activity cost pools, what is the manufacturing overhead allocation for Wealth Managers during 2016?

f. If manufacturing overhead costs are allocated using activity cost pools, what profit (loss) does Wallace Printing earn from Wealth Managers during 2016?

a. For 2014, 2015, and 2016, determine the amount that a typical consumer pays each year to purchase the quantities listed in the table above.

Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number.

Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

b. The percentage change in the amount the consumer paid is  % from 2014 to 2015 and  % from 2015 to 2016.

c. It is problematic to use your answers to part b as a measure of inflation because  (Click to select)  only income is changing  both price and consumption are changing  only consumption is changing  only price is changing  .

Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

d. Suppose we take 2014 as the base year, which implies that the market basket is fixed at 2014 consumption levels. Using 2014 consumption levels, the rate of inflation is % from 2014 to 2015 and  % from 2015 to 2016. (Hint: First calculate the cost of the 2014 market basket using each year's prices and then find the percentage change in the cost of the basket.)



Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places.

e. Repeat the exercise from part d, now assuming that the base year is 2015. Using 2015 consumption levels, the rate of inflation is  % from 2014 to 2015 and  % from 2015 to 2016. (Hint: First calculate the cost of the 2015 market basket using each year's prices and then find the percentage change in the cost of the basket.)



f. Your answers from parts d and e were different because  (Click to select)  the base years have the same consumption quantities  income has changed  the base years put different weights on the goods  prices have changed

Problem 4-2 (Essay)

On November 1, 2016, Campbell Corporation management decided to discontinue operation of its Rocketeer Division and approved a formal plan to dispose of the division. Campbell is a successful corporation with earnings of $150 million or more before tax for each of the past five years. The Rocketeer Division, a major part of Campbell’s operations, is being discontinued because it has not contributed to this profitable performance.

The division’s main assets are the land, building, and equipment used to manufacture engine components. The land, building, and equipment had a net book value of $42 million on November 1, 2016.

Campbell’s management has entered into negotiations for a cash sale of the division for $36 million (net of costs to sell). The sale date and final disposal date of the division is expected to be July 1, 2017. Campbell Corporation has a fiscal year ending May 31. The results of operations for the Rocketeer Division for the 2016–17 fiscal year and the estimated results for June 2017 are presented below. The before-tax losses after October 31, 2016, are calculated without depreciation on the building and equipment.

Period Before-Tax Loss
June 1, 2016, to October 31, 2016 $(2,500,000 )
November 1, 2016, to May 31, 2017 (1,600,000 )
June 1 to 30, 2017 (estimated) (300,000 )


The Rocketeer Division will be accounted for as a discontinued operation on Campbell’s financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2017. Campbell’s tax rate is 25% on operating income and all gains and losses. Campbell prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

(d)
Assume that Campbell Corporation management was debating whether the sale of the Rocketeer Division qualified for discontinued operations accounting treatment under IFRS. List specific factors or arguments that management would use to suggest that the Rocketeer Division should be treated as a discontinued operation. Why might management have a particular preference about which treatment is given? From an external user’s perspective, what relevance does the presentation of the discontinued operation have when interpreting the financial results?

Freese, Inc., is in the process of preparing the fourth quarter budget for 2016, and the following data have been assembled:

    September 10,400 units
    October 9,600 units
    November 11,200 units
    December 16,000 units
    January 7,200 units
    February 8,000 units
  • All sales are on account. The company's collection experience has been that 30% of a month's sales are collected in the month of sale, 68% are collected in the month following the sale, and 2% are uncollectible. It is expected that the net realizable value of accounts receivable (i.e., accounts receivable less allowance for uncollectible accounts) will be $495,040 on September 30, 2016.
  • Management's policy is to maintain ending finished goods inventory each month at a level equal to 30% of the next month's budgeted sales. The finished goods inventory on September 30, 2016, is expected to be 2,880 units.
  • To make one unit of finished product, 5 pounds of materials are required. Management's policy is to have enough materials on hand at the end of each month to equal 40% of the next month's estimated usage. The raw materials inventory is expected to be 20,160 pounds on September 30, 2016.
  • The cost per pound of raw material is $6, and 70% of all purchases are paid for in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid in the following month. The accounts payable for raw material purchases is expected to be $91,152 on September 30, 2016.

d. Prepare a materials purchases budget in pounds, by month and in total, for the fourth quarter of 2016.
