This assignment is designed to get you to locate the Annual Report for a company and become familiar with its contents, particularly the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements (LO 2 and 3). While we have looked at very basic formats of the financial statements, the financial statements for a company contain much more detailed information much of which you have not been introduced to yet. Pay attention in the Annual Report to the information provided in the notes to the financial statements as you will find a lot of useful information in them that may help with some of the assignment questions.

Gibson Fabricators Corporation Gibson Fabricators Corporation manufactures a variety of parts for the automotive industry. The company uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour-hours. On the December 10, 2019, the company’s controller made a preliminary estimate of the predetermined overhead rate for 2020. The new rate was based on the estimated total manufacturing overhead cost of $2,475,000 and the estimated 52,000 total direct labourhours for 2020:

Predetermined overhead rate = $2,475,000/ 52,000 hours = $47.60 per direct labour-hour

This new predetermined overhead rate was communicated to top managers in a meeting on the December 11. The rate did not cause any comment because it was within a few pennies of the overhead rate that had been used during 2019. One of the subjects discussed at the meeting was a proposal by the production manager to purchase an automated milling machine centre built by Central Robotics. The president of Gibson Fabricators, Kevin Robinson, agreed to meet with the regional sales representative from Central Robotics to discuss the proposal. On the day following the meeting, Mr. Robinson met with Jay Warner, Central Robotics’ sales representative. The following discussion took place:

Robinson: Larry Winter, our production manager, asked me to meet with you since he is interested in installing an automated milling machine centre. Frankly, I am sceptical. You’re going to have to show me this isn’t just another expensive toy for Larry’s people to play with.

Warner: That shouldn’t be too difficult, Mr. Robinson. The automated milling machine centre has three major advantages. First, it is much faster than the manual methods you are using. It can process about twice as many parts per hour as your present milling machines. Second, it is much more flexible. There are some up-front programming costs, but once those have been incurred, almost no setup is required on the machines for standard operations. You just punch in the code of the standard operation, load the machine’s hopper with raw material, and the machine does the rest.

Robinson: Yeah, but what about cost? Having twice the capacity in the milling machine area won’t do us much good. That centre is idle much of the time anyway.

Warner: I was getting there. The third advantage of the automated milling machine centre is lower cost. Larry Winters and I looked over your present operations, and we estimated that the automated equipment would eliminate the need for about 6,000 direct labour-hours a year. What is your direct labour cost per hour?

Robinson: The wage rate in the milling area averages about $21 per hour. Fringe benefits raise that figure to about $30 per hour.

Warner: Don’t forget your overhead.

Robinson: Next year the overhead rate will be about $48 per hour.

Warner: So including fringe benefits and overhead, the cost per direct labour-hour is about $78.

Robinson: That’s right.

Warner: Since you can save 6,000 direct labour-hours per year, the cost savings would amount to about $468,000 a year.

Robinson: That’s pretty impressive, but you aren’t giving away this equipment are you?

Warner: Several options are available, including leasing and outright purchase. Just for comparison purposes, our 60-month lease plan would require payments of only $300,000 per year.

Robinson: Sold! When can you install the equipment?

Shortly after this meeting, Mr. Robinson informed the company’s controller of the decision to lease the new equipment, which would be installed over the Christmas vacation period. The controller realised that this decision would require recalculation of the predetermined overhead rate for the year 2020 since the decision would affect both the manufacturing overhead and the direct labourhours for the year. After talking with both the production manager and the sales representative from Central Robotics, the controller discovered that in addition to the annual lease cost of $300,000, the new machine would also require a skilled technician/programmer who would have to be hired at a cost of $45,000 per year to maintain and program the equipment. Both of these costs would be included in factory overhead. There would be no other changes in total manufacturing overhead cost, which is almost entirely fixed. The controller assumed that the new machine would result in a reduction of 6,000 direct labour-hours for the year from the levels that had initially been planned. When the revised predetermined overhead rate for the year 2020 was circulated among the company’s top managers, there was considerable dismay.

Required: Part A – Report Write a report addressing the following questions to be submitted to the president of Gibson Fabricators, Kevin Robinson. 1. Recalculate the predetermined rate assuming that the new machine will be installed. Explain why the new predetermined overhead rate is higher (or lower) than the rate that was originally estimated for the year 2020.

2. The company has received a job order from Fairfield corporation. The estimated direct material costs for delivering the order is $45,800. The new machine will be used for this job. The expected labour cost will be $8,400 for 400 hours of direct labour. What will be the estimated total production cost of this job under the new predetermined rate?

Chapter 15 The University Bookstore Student Computer Purchase Program Case page 762 The University Bookstore Student Computer Purchase Program: The University Bookstore is owned and operated by State University through an independent corporation with its own board of directors. The bookstore has three locations on or near the State University campus. It stocks a range of items, including textbooks, trade books, logo apparel, drawing and educational supplies, and computers and related products, including printers, modems, and software. The bookstore has a program to sell personal computers to incoming freshmen and other students at a substantial educational discount, partly passed on from computer manufacturers. This means that the bookstore just covers computer costs, with a very small profit margin remaining. Each summer all incoming freshmen and their parents come to the State campus for a 3 day orientation program. The students come in groups of 100 throughout the summer. During their visit the students and their parents are given details about the bookstore’s computer purchase program. Some students place their computer orders for the fall semester at this time, whereas, others wait until later in the summer. The bookstore also receives orders from returning students throughout the summer. This program presents a challenging management problem for the bookstore. Orders come in throughout the summer, many old a few weeks before school starts in the fall, and the computer suppliers require at least 6 weeks for delivery. Thus, the bookstore must forecast computer demand to build up inventory to meet student demand in the fall. The student computer program and the forecast of computer demand have repercussions all along the bookstore supply chain. The bookstore has a warehouse near campus where it must store all computers because it has no storage space at its retail locations. Ordering too many computers not only this up the bookstore’s cash reserves, it also takes up limited storage space and limits inventories for other bookstore products during the bookstore’s busiest sales period. Because the bookstore has such a low profit margin on computers, its bottom line depends on these other products. Because competition for good students has increased, the university has become very quality conscious and insists that all university facilities provide exemplary student service, which for the bookstore means meeting all student demands for computers when fall semester starts. The number of computers ordered also affects the number of temporary warehouse and bookstore workers who must be hired for handling and assisting with PC installations. The number of truck trips from the warehouse to the bookstore each day of fall registration is also affected by computer sales. The bookstore student computer purchase program has been in place for 14 years. Although, the student population has remained stable during this period, computer sales have been somewhat volatile. Following are the historical sales data for computers during the first month of fall registration: 1. Develop an appropriate forecast model for the bookstore manager to use to forecast computer demand for the next fall semester. Show work for the following forecast techniques: A. Moving average (n = 3) B. Moving average (n = 5) C. Weighted Moving average (50%, 30%, 20%, starting with most recent period) D. Linear trend line E. Exponential smoothing (alpha = .3 2. Adjusted exponential smoothing (alpha = .3, beta = .4) A. Complete all above forecast techniques using MS Excel, QM for Windows or Excel QM B. Label everything appropriately. You do not need to make each forecast technique a separate tab on the sheet. However, please label columns correctly. C. Place your name in the document 3. Identify the forecast technique with the lowest MAD. YEAR

Here is the entire problem; however the trial balance did not copy in correctly. I need to know how to calculate the basic consolidation entry (mostly income from Soda Company, Investment in Soda Company, NCI in NI and NCI in NA.

Pop Corporation acquired 70 percent of Soda Company's voting common shares on January 1, 20X2, for $119,000. At that date, the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $51,000 and Soda reported $70,000 of common stock outstanding and retained earnings of $33,000. The differential is assigned to buildings and equipment, which had a fair value $29,000 higher than book value and a remaining 10-year life, and to patents, which had a fair value $38,000 higher than book value and a remaining life of five years at the date of the business combination.

On December 31, 20X2, Soda purchased inventory for $31,200 and sold it to Pop for $48,000. Pop resold $30,000 of the inventory (i.e., $30,000 of the $48,000 acquired from Soda) during 20X3 and had the remaining balance in inventory at December 31, 20X3.

During 20X3, Soda sold inventory purchased for $65,000 to Pop for $100,000, and Pop resold all but $29,000 of its purchase. On March 10, 20X3, Pop sold inventory purchased for $17,000 to Soda for $34,000. Soda sold all but $8,500 of the inventory prior to December 31, 20X3. Assume Pop uses the fully adjusted equity method, that both companies use straight-line depreciation, and that no property, plant, and equipment has been purchased since the acquisition.

Required:
a. Prepare all consolidation entries needed to prepare a full set of consolidated financial statements at December 31, 20X3, for Pop and Soda. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b. Prepare a three-part consolidation worksheet for 20X3. (Values in the first two columns (the "parent" and "subsidiary" balances) that are to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign, while all values in the "Consolidation Entries" columns should be entered as positive values. For accounts where multiple adjusting entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet.)
