Parker Hannifin Corporation is a leading manufacturer of component parts used in aerospace, transportation, and manufacturing equipment. The company makes several hundred thousand parts—from heat-resistant seals for jet engines and components used in the space shuttle to steel valves that hoist buckets on cherry pickers. Parker Hannifin’s motor and control products are integral components in global manufacturing and very few rivals have the same product breadth and clout with customers (original-equipment manufacturers) as the firm.² When Donald Washkewicz took over as chief executive, he came to an unnerving conclusion: the pricing approach that the company had followed for years was downright crazy.

For as long as anyone at the company could recall, the firm used this simple approach to determine the prices for its thousands of parts: Company managers would calculate how much it cost to make and deliver each product and then add a flat percentage on top, usually aiming for around a 35 percent margin. Across divisions, many managers liked this cost-plus approach because it was straightforward and gave them broad authority to negotiate prices with customers.

But the chief executive feels that the firm, which generates over 13 billion in annual revenues, may be severely restricting its profit growth. No matter how much a particular product is improved, the company often ends up charging the same premium that it would for a standard product. And if the company finds a way to make a product less expensively, it ultimately cuts the product’s price as well. “I was actually losing sleep,” recalls Donald Washkewicz, who believes that the company should stop thinking like a widget maker or a cost-plus price setter and start thinking like a retailer by determining prices by what customers are willing to pay.

Changing the firm’s pricing approach, however, is a complex task. The company has tens of thousands of products— (1) some are high-volume commodities and there are large, formidable competitors; (2) some have unique features, fill niches in the market, and have limited competition; and (3) many are custom-designed for a single customer.

Describe the process that you would follow in performing an audit of the firm's product line to identify those products that represent the best and worst candidates for profit-margin expansion.

Provide a set of specific pricing guidelines that managers should apply as the traditional cost-plus approach is phased out and a value-based approach to pricing is implemented.

Ian Mathews is a creator of board games. Ian will be selling his most recent game, Radical Rainbows, through his newly formed company, UPR, Inc. UPR was formed in June, 2018. Ian contributed $1,000 to UPR in exchange for 100% of UPR’s voting common stock. Ian has had unprecedented success with the first two games in his most recent game trilogy: unicorns, ponies and rainbows. Ian was looking to finance UPR’s initial production run of the third game, Radical Rainbows at a rate of 7.5% or less.   The best deal offered by several banks had an APR of 8%. That was more than Ian was willing to pay and he felt there were other sources of financing that were less expensive.

As he had done for the first two games in the series: Unstable Unicorns and Perplexed Ponies, Ian turned to Kickstarter to finance the cost of the first production run of Radical Rainbows. Normally, UPR will be selling Radical Rainbows for $50 per game. UPR offered to sell Radical Rainbows to its Kickstarter backers for $45 per game.   The Kickstarter campaign was completed in two days, and on June 1, 2018 UPR received $225,000 in exchange for a promise to deliver 5000 games to its Kickstarter backers on December 1, 2019.  

At a manufacturing cost of $30 per game, UPR will be able to produce 7500 units with the $225,000 raised in the Kickstarter campaign. The 7500 games would be ready for shipment on December 1, 2019.

On June 1, 2018, UPR’s bookkeeper made the following entry to record the receipt of cash:

On December 1, 2019, UPR was able to deliver the 5000 board games to its Kickstarter backers. UPR also sold and delivered the additional 2500 games to other customers for the normal retail price of $50 per game. UPR’s bookkeeper made the following entries to record these transactions:

UPR used the $126,000 in cash available to UPR in December, 2019 to manufacture another 4200 board games. Those games were in finished goods inventory at December 31, 2019 and were sold in January, 2020 for $50 per game

UPR’s Financial Statements at December 31, 2019 and 2018 as prepared by UPR’s bookkeeper showed the following:

*You can assume that the Cash, Inventory, Common Stock and Cost of Goods Sold amounts as shown in both the journal entries and financial statements are correct.

Your analysis of this problem will involve using ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. UPR adopted ASC 606 when Ian formed the company in 2018. UPR has applied ASC 606 incorrectly.

You can assume that a contract is in place and that only one performance obligation exists: the delivery of the board game to the customer. Thus, determining the Transaction Price is the issue that needs to be addressed. The principles for the determining transaction prices can be found in ASC Subtopic 606-10-32-2 through 606-10-32-27. You may also want to refer to the illustrations (examples) contained in ASC 606. A list of the illustrations can be found at ASC Subtopic 606-10-55-93.

QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED

You must answer the following questions:

What are the additional entries or correct entries required on the following dates? If the entries made by the bookkeeper are correct, indicate “Bookkeeper made correct entry”. Otherwise use the Journal Entry template to record your answer and then paste into your answer.:

Using references to ASC 606 explain how your arrived at your answers in 1. And 2. Above.

From the point of view of a potential investor or lender to UPR, do the corrected financial statements or the original financial statements prepared by UPR’s bookkeeper better reflect the economics of UPR during its initial two years in business? Why?                   

Corrected Balance Sheet
12/31/2019 12/31/2018
Cash* $0 $126,000
Inventory - Work in Process* $0 $100,000

You can assume that the Cash, Inventory, Common Stock and Cost of Goods Sold amounts as shown in the financial statements are correct. Also, the Balance Sheet at 12/31/2019 as prepated by UPR's bookkeeperis correct.

A producer of various feed additives for cattle conducts a study of the number of days of feedlot time required to bring beef cattle to market weight. Eighteen steers of essentially identical age and weight are purchased and brought to a feedlot. Each steer is fed a diet with a specific combination of antibiotic concentration (1=500mg/day, 2=1000mg/day) and percentage of feed supplement.
