Total Manufacturing Cost, Income Statement, Unit Cost, and Selling Price Two inventors, recently

organized as Innovation, Inc., consult you regarding a planned new product. They have estimates of the

costs of materials, labor, overhead, and other expenses for 2016 but need to know how much to charge for

each unit to earn a profit in 2016 equal to 15% of their estimated total long-term investment of $400,000

(ignore income taxes). Their plans indicate that each unit of the new product requires the following:

Direct material

4 lb. of a material costing $5/lb.

Direct labor

2 hrs. of a metal former’s time at $11/hr.

0.6 hr. of an assembler’s time at $8/hr.

Major items of production overhead would be annual rent of $46,460 for a factory building, $28,660

rent for machinery, and $21,700 of indirect material. Other production overhead is estimated to be

$233,280. Selling expenses are an estimated 30% of total sales, and non-factory administrative expenses

are 20% of total sales.

The consensus at Innovation is that during 2016 10,000 units of product should be produced for

selling and another 2,000 units should be produced for the next year’s beginning inventory. Also, an

extra 3,000 pounds of material will be purchased as beginning inventory for the next year. Because

of the nature of the manufacturing process, all units started must be completed, so work in process

inventories are negligible.

Required

a. Incorporate the above data into a schedule of estimated total manufacturing costs and compute

the unit production cost for 2016.

b. Prepare an estimated income statement that would provide the target amount of profit for 2016.

c. What unit sales price should Innovation charge for the new product?

Flounder Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2017. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2017. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you.

1)Flounder purchased equipment on January 2, 2014, for $76,900. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a $4,900 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2017, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a $3,100 salvage value.

2)During 2017, Flounder changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $280,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $28,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2015 and 2016.

2016

2015

Straight-line $25,200 $25,200
Declining-balance 44,800 56,000

3)Flounder purchased a machine on July 1, 2015, at a cost of $110,000. The machine has a salvage value of $16,000 and a useful life of 8 years. Flounder’s bookkeeper recorded straight-line depreciation in 2015 and 2016 but failed to consider the salvage value.

Prepare the journal entries to record depreciation expense for 2017 and correct any errors made to date related to the information provided. (Ignore taxes.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Show comparative net income for 2016 and 2017. Income before depreciation expense was $280,000 in 2017, and was $310,000 in 2016. (Ignore taxes.)
