Ag-Coop is a large farm cooperative with a number of agriculture-related manufacturing and service divisions. As a cooperative, it pays no federal income taxes. The company owns a fertilizer plant that processes and mixes petrochemical compounds into three brands of agricultural fertilizer: greenup, maintane, and winterizer. The three brands differ with respect to selling price and the proportional content of basic chemicals.

Ag-Coop’s Fertilizer Manufacturing Division transfers the completed product to the cooperative’s Retail Sales Division at a price based on the cost of each type of fertilizer plus a markup.

The Manufacturing Division is completely automated so that the only costs it incurs are the costs of the petrochemical feedstocks plus overhead that is considered fixed. The primary feedstock costs $1.40 per pound. Each 100 pounds of feedstock can produce either of the following mixtures of fertilizer.

Output Schedules (in pounds)
A B
Greenup 50 60
Maintane 20 10
Winterizer 30 30

Production is limited to the 810,000 kilowatt-hours monthly capacity of the dehydrator. Due to different chemical makeup, each brand of fertilizer requires different dehydrator use. Dehydrator usage in kilowatt-hours per pound of product follows:

Product Kilowatt-Hour Usage per Pound
Greenup 32
Maintane 22
Winterizer 40

Monthly fixed costs are $81,000. The company currently is producing according to output schedule A. Joint production costs including fixed overhead are allocated to each product on the basis of weight.

The fertilizer is packed into 100-pound bags for sale in the cooperative’s retail stores. The sales price for each product charged by the cooperative’s Retail Sales Division follows:

Sales Price per Pound
Greenup $ 10.50
Maintane 9.00
Winterizer 10.40

Selling expenses are 20 percent of the sales price.

The Retail Sales Division manager has complained that the prices charged by the Manufacturing Division are excessive and that he would prefer to purchase from another supplier.

The Manufacturing Division manager argues that the processing mix was determined based on a careful analysis of the costs of each product compared to the prices charged by the Retail Sales Division.

Required:

a. Assume that joint production costs including fixed overhead are allocated to each product on the basis of weight. What is the cost per pound of each product, including fixed overhead and the feedstock cost of $1.40 per pound, given the current production schedule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

b. Assume that joint production costs including fixed overhead are allocated to each product on the basis of net realizable value if sold through the cooperative’s Retail Sales Division. What is the allocated cost per pound of each product, given the current production schedule? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

c. Assume that joint production costs including fixed overhead are allocated to each product on the basis of weight. Calculate the operating profit under both Schedule A and Schedule B. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Jordan is a construction contract company involved in building commercial properties. Its current policy for determining the percentage of completion of its contracts is based on the proportion of cost incurred to date compared to the total expected cost of the contract.
One of Jordan’s contracts has an agreed price of $250 million and estimated total costs of $200 million.

The cumulative progress of this contract is:
Year ended: 30 September 2011 30 September 2012
$million $million
Costs incurred 80 145
Work certified and billed 75 160
Billings received 70 150

Based on the above, Jordan prepared and published its financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2011. Relevant extracts are:

Statement of Profit and Loss
$million
Revenue (balance) 100
Cost of sales (80)
––––
Profit (50 x 80/200) 20
––––
Statement of financial position

Amounts due from customers
Contract costs to date 80
Profit recognised 20
––––

Progress billings (75)
––––

––––
Contract receivables (75 – 70) 5

Jordan has received some adverse publicity in the financial press for taking its profit too early in the contract process, leading to disappointing profits in the later stages of contracts. Most of Jordan’s competitors take profit based on the percentage of completion as determined by the work certified compared to the contract price.
Required:
(i)   Assuming Jordan changes its method of determining the percentage of completion of contracts to that used by its competitors, and that this would represent a change in an accounting estimate, calculate equivalent extracts to the above for the year ended 30 September 2012 (5marks)

(ii)   Explain the Criteria for Recognising Revenue from contract with customers. .

(iii)   Explain the difference between Revenue Recognition from construction contracts when The contract is profit making and when losses are probable.

Automobiles are often leased, and there are several terms unique to auto leases. Suppose you are...

Automobiles are often leased, and there are several terms unique to auto leases. Suppose you are considering leasing a car. The price you and the dealer agree on for the car is $31,200. This is the base capitalized cost. Other costs that may be added to the capitalized cost price include the acquisition (bank) fee, insurance, or extended warranty. Assume these costs are $1,100. Capitalized cost reductions include any down payment, credit for a trade-in, or dealer rebate. Assume you make a down payment of $2,000 and there is no trade-in or rebate. If you drive 12,000 miles per year, the lease-end residual value for this car will be $22,000 after three years.

       The lease or “money” factor, which is the interest rate on the loan, is the APR of the loan divided by 2,400. The money factor of 2,400 is the product of three numbers: 2, 12, and 100. The 100 is used to convert the APR, expressed as a percentage, to a decimal number. The 12 converts this rate to a monthly rate. Finally, the monthly rate is applied to the sum of the net capitalization cost plus the residual. If we divide this sum by 2, the result is the average anticipated book value. Thus, the end result of the calculation using the money factor is to multiply a monthly rate by the average book value to get a monthly payment. The lease factor the dealer quotes you is .00263.

       The monthly lease payment consists of three parts: Depreciation fee, finance fee, and sales tax. The depreciation fee is the net capitalized cost minus the residual value divided by the term of the lease. The finance fee is the net capitalization cost plus the residual times the money factor, and the monthly sales tax is the monthly lease payment times the tax rate.

A. What APR is the dealer quoting you?

B. What is your monthly lease payment for a 36-month lease if the sales tax is 7 percent?

Prior to installing a JIT system, Clarendon Company used machine hours to assign maintenance costs to its three products of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 11-inch insulation. The maintenance costs totaled $400,000 per year. The machine hours used by each product and the quantity produced of each product are as follows:

Machine Hours Quantity Produced
6-inch 12,000 31,250 rolls
8-inch 20,000 25,000 rolls
11-inch 18,000 12,000 rolls


After installing JIT, three manufacturing cells were created and the cell workers were trained to perform maintenance. Maintenance costs for the three cells still totaled $400,000; however, these costs are now traceable to each cell.

Cell, 6-inch $100,000
Cell, 8-inch 120,000
Cell, 11-inch 180,000


The maintenance cost per roll of 8-inch insulation before JIT is installed would be
