Morrill Company produces two different types of gauges: a density gauge and a thickness gauge. The segmented income statement for a typical quarter follows.

Segment margin $ 50,000 $ (4,000) $ 46,000
Less common fixed expenses 30,000
Operating income $ 16,000
* Includes depreciation.

The density gauge uses a subassembly that is purchased from an external supplier for $25 per unit. Each quarter, 2,000 subassemblies are purchased. All units produced are sold, and there are no ending inventories of subassemblies. Morrill is considering making the subassembly rather than buying it. Unit-level variable manufacturing costs are as follows:

Direct materials $2
Direct labor 3
Variable overhead 2

No significant non-unit-level costs are incurred.

Morrill is considering two alternatives to supply the productive capacity for the subassembly.

Lease the needed space and equipment at a cost of $27,000 per quarter for the space and $10,000 per quarter for a supervisor. There are no other fixed expenses.

Drop the thickness gauge. The equipment could be adapted with virtually no cost and the existing space utilized to produce the subassembly. The direct fixed expenses, including supervision, would be $38,000, $8,000 of which is depreciation on equipment. If the thickness gauge is dropped, sales of the density gauge will not be affected.

Required:

1. Should Morrill Company make or buy the subassembly?
Make the subassembly

If it makes the subassembly, which alternative should be chosen?
Drop the thickness gauge

Enter the relevant costs of each alternative.

3. Assume that dropping the thickness gauge decreases sales of the density gauge by 10 percent and that 2,800 subassemblies are required per quarter. As before, assume that there are no ending inventories of subassemblies and that all units produced are sold. Assume also that the per-unit sales price and variable costs are the same as in Requirement 1. Include the leasing alternative in your consideration. Now, what is the correct decision?

Here’s what Wells Fargo did to trigger a $1 billion fine.

Unlike many of the scandals that have triggered billion-dollar penalties for banks, the problems that led to a 10-figure federal government settlement for Wells Fargo & Co. don’t appear to have colorful emails or trader messages describing bad behavior.

The dry language employed by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, however, reveal not just how the bank’s mortgage and auto insurance clients were wrongly treated, but show risk management practices that they deemed “reckless, unsafe or unsound.”

Wells Fargo’s WFC, +0.08%  risk management already resulted in an unprecedented Federal Reserve sanction of having its growth limited. Wells Fargo, keep in mind, was fined by the CFPB and other regulators after opening millions of customer accounts without permission.

To hear the OCC tell it, Wells Fargo did not establish “effective first and second lines of defense,” execute on a comprehensive plan to address compliance risk management deficiencies, fill mission-critical staffing positions, implement a reliable risk assessment and testing program and report compliance concerns adequately to the board.

From there, the regulators found some bad behavior.

One problem was with mortgages, which is a big deal considering Wells Fargo is the nation’s largest originator of mortgage loans. In September 2013, the bank enacted a new nationwide policy on locking in interest rates for mortgages. If a rate-lock extension was made necessary by borrower-caused delays — for example, when a borrower didn’t return necessary documentation or disputed a low appraisal — then a fee would be charged.

But if it was because of lender-caused delays — say, delays to receiving necessary information or internal processing — then the bank would cover the fees.

That is a perfectly legal policy, if it’s applied. It wasn’t. According to the CFPB, within days of rolling out the new policy, the bank realized in internal communications that its guidelines for loan officers were inadequate. For nearly three years after an audit first identified risks for consumer harm, an internal audit Wells Fargo inconsistently applied its policy and charged borrowers extension fees when it shouldn’t have. It wasn’t until March 2017 that Wells Fargo substantially changed its extension fee practices.

Related: Mulvaney’s first fine at CFPB is second-largest in history of agency

The other problem was with auto insurance practices. When borrowers get a loan secured by a car or truck, they quite naturally need to have insurance in case there’s physical damage to the vehicle. If a borrower didn’t get or maintain insurance, the bank was allowed to acquire insurance on the borrower’s behalf and make the borrower pay for it, with interest.

Again, that’s a perfectly legal practice. The problem for the roughly 2 million borrowers the bank forcibly placed insurance on since 2005, is that hundreds of thousands were unnecessary, according to the bank’s own audits. In addition, when some customers did get adequate insurance and provide proof, the bank still kept the forced-placed policies on accounts or didn’t refund the premiums, or related fees and charges including repossession fees.

Wells Fargo even received briefings on these problems, not to mention quarterly reports from its vendors and its own daily reports. Those premiums weren’t cheap, either — typically over $1,000 a policy.

For at least 27,000 customers between 2011 and 2016, the additional costs of the insurance could have contributed to a default that resulted in the repossession of their vehicle, the CFPB said.

Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan said the bank has “made progress on strengthening operational processes, internal controls, compliance and oversight, and delivering on our promise to review all of our practices and make things right for our customers.”

The $1 billion fine will result in an additional $800 million accrual in the first quarter, which will reduce first-quarter earnings per share by 16 cents, to 96 cents a share. The $800 million accrual is not tax deductible, Wells Fargo said.

Wells Fargo shares rose nearly 2% on Friday but are down about 2% over the last 52 weeks, compared to the 14% advance for the S&P 500 SPX, -0.82%  over the same time period.

Question:

due to corporate behavior, discuss why you think the board and officers allowed the issues to continue and to perpetuate. Should there be any liability against any of them personally?

Other Information

The Cash balance on December 31, 2019, totaled $100,000, but management has decided it would like to maintain a cash balance of at least $700,000 beginning on January 31, 2020. Dividends are paid each month at the rate of $2.50 per share for 4,720 shares outstanding. The company has an open line of credit with Romney’s Bank. The terms of the agreement requires borrowing to be in $1,000 increments at 9% interest. Waterways borrows on the first day of the month and repays on the last day of the month. A $540,000 equipment purchase is planned for February.
