Tommy Company makes a product, X-10. It has a production capacity of 10,000 units. The regular selling price is $135 each. Tommy has received a request from Chully for a special order of 1,000 units of X-10. Only for this order, no variable selling cost would be incurred. The following is the per-unit cost information:

Direct materials (Variable)

$10

Direct labor (Variable)

$35

Variable overhead

$25

Fixed overhead

$30*

        Unit product cost

       $100

Variable selling

$6

Fixed selling

$4*

         Unit selling cost

         $10

Total cost for 1 unit

       $110

            * based on production and sales of 10,000 units

  1. Chully has suggested a price is $95 per unit. Tommy can satisfy this order without sacrificing production and sales for the regular customers. If Tommy accepts this special order, what would be the effect on the company’s profit? Indicate the direction (increase or decrease) and amount (by how much).

  1. Assume that Tommy can sell all 10,000 units to its regular customers for $135 each. For each unit Tommy sells to Chully, Tommy has to give up selling to its regular customer. In this situation, Tommy has to charge at least $______ to Chully.

1. On January 1,2018,Banno Corporation issued$1,500,000 Face Value of 10% coupon bonds at a price of 103, due December 31 2027. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The premium on the bond is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the ten years (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferred effective interest method). The bonds are callable at a price of 100 1⁄2 and on January 1, 2024, called all $1,500,000 Face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. There are no issue costs. Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of gain or loss to be recognized by Banno as a result of retiring the bonds in 2024 and prepare the journal entry to record the redemption.

2. Re-do problem 1, but this time assume that there were $24,000 of issue costs. Also answer, what is the effect of the issue costs on the gain or loss you calculated in problem 1?

3. Re-do problem 1, but assume that there are no issue costs and that this time, only $900,000 Face Value of the bonds were redeemed.

4. Re-do problem 3, but this time assume that there were $24,000 of issue costs. Also answer, what is the effect of the issue costs on the gain or loss you calculated in problem 1?

Pinkerton Steelworks manufactures high quality bearings for large construction equipment. An
analysis reveals that sales for one of the company’s main products, the super bearing, is
declining due to aggressive pricing by competitors. Pinkerton's product sells for $525 whereas
the competition's comparable part is selling for close to $425. Consultants have determined that a
price drop to $400 is necessary to regain market share and annual sales of 1,000 units.
Cost data based on sales of 1,000 super bearings:

Budget quantity Actual quantity Actual cost
Direct materials 10,000 lbs 11,000 lbs $55,800
Direct labor 4,600 hrs 5,200 hrs 155,000
Inspections 2,500 hrs 3,000 hrs 57,000
Materials handling 100 moves 120 moves 35,000
Mechanical assembly 3,000 hrs 4,000 hrs 140,000

1. Calculate the current cost and profit per unit.
2. How much of the current cost per unit is attributable to non-value added activities?
3. Calculate the new target cost per unit for a sales price of $400 if the profit per unit is
maintained.
4. What strategy do you suggest for Pinkerton to attain the target cost per unit?

  1. What are the components of a regression line? Hint: there are a total of 5 in this case.
  2. How would you specify this linear model? In other words, what would the regression equation look like. Hint: at this moment do not calculate anything. I am not interested in the actual coefficients, but how you would write out the equation using names of variables.
  3. What are the estimates for the intercept and independent variable? Interpret them.
  4. Plot sample data and estimated regression line in one graph.
