Wingate Company, a wholesale distributor of electronic equipment, has been experiencing losses for some time, as shown by its most recent monthly contribution format income statement:
Sales $ 1,546,000
Variable expenses 573,480
Contribution margin 972,520
Fixed expenses 1,070,000
Net operating income (loss) $ (97,480)
In an effort to resolve the problem, the company would like to prepare an income statement segmented by division. Accordingly, the Accounting Department has developed the following information:
Division
East Central West
Sales $ 416,000 $ 630,000 $ 500,000
Variable expenses as a percentage of sales 48 % 26 % 42 %
Traceable fixed expenses $ 282,000 $ 324,000 $ 206,000
Required:
1. Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by divisions.
2-a. The Marketing Department has proposed increasing the West Division's monthly advertising by $28,000 based on the belief that it would increase that division's sales by 13%. Assuming these estimates are accurate, how much would the company's net operating income increase (decrease) if the proposal is implemented?
2-b. Would you recommend the increased advertising?
Mathys Inc. has recently hired a new independent auditor, Karen Ogleby, who says she wants "to get everything straightened out." Consequently, she has proposed the following accounting changes in connection with Mathys Inc.'s 2017 financial statements.1. At December 31, 2016, the client had a receivable of $820,000 from Hendricks Inc. on its balance sheet. Hendricks Inc. has gone bankrupt, and no recovery is expected. The client proposes to write off the receivable as a prior period item.2. The client proposes the following changes in depreciation policies.(a) For office furniture and fixtures, it proposes to change from a 10-year useful life to an 8-year life. If this change had been made in prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $250,000 less. The effect of the change on 2017 income alone is a reduction of $60,000.(b) For its new equipment in the leasing division, the client proposes to adopt the sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation method. The client had never used SYD before. The first year the client operated a leasing division was 2017. If straight-line depreciation were used, 2017 income would be $110,000 greater.3.In preparing its 2016 statements, one of the client's bookkeepers overstated ending inventory by $235,000 because of a mathematical error. The client proposes to treat this item as a prior period adjustment.4. In the past, the client has spread preproduction costs in its furniture division over 5 years. Because its latest furniture is of the "fad" type, it appears that the largest volume of sales will occur during the first 2 years after introduction. Consequently, the client proposes to amortize preproduction costs on a per-unit basis, which will result in expensing most of such costs during the first 2 years after the furniture's introduction. If the new accounting method had been used prior to 2017, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $375,000 less.5. For the nursery division, the client proposes to switch from FIFO to LIFO inventories because it believes that LIFO will provide a better matching of current costs with revenues. The effect of making this change on 2017 earnings will be an increase of $320,000. The client says that the effect of the change on December 31, 2016, retained earnings cannot be determined.6. To achieve an appropriate recognition of revenues and expenses in its building construction division, the client proposes to switch from the completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Had the percentage-of-completion method been employed in all prior years, retained earnings at December 31, 2016, would have been $1,075,000 greater.Instructions(a) For each of the changes described above, decide whether:(1) The change involves an accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error.(2) Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.(b) What would be the proper adjustment to the December 31, 2016, retained earnings?
Answer:
Mathys Inc.
a. (1) Change in accounting principle, accounting estimate, or correction of an error:
1. Write-off of Accounts Receivable = Change in accounting estimate
2. Changes in depreciation policies = Changes in accounting estimate for the office furniture and the introduction of the sum-of-years' digit for the new leasing division's equipment.
3. Overstated Ending Inventory = Correction of an error
4. New accounting method for pre-production costs = Change in accounting estimate
5. Change from FIFO to LIFO = Change in accounting principle
6. Change from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method = Change in accounting principle
a. (2) If Restatement of opening retained earnings is required:
1. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
2. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
3. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
4. No restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
5. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
6. Restatement of opening retained earnings is required.
b) December 31, 2016 Retained Earnings Adjustments:
3. Debit Retained Earnings = ($235,000)
5. Debit Retained Earnings = ($320,000)
6. Credit Retained EArnings = $1,075,000
Net effect on 2016 Retained Earnings = an increase of $520,000
Explanation:
a) Data:
1. December 31, 2016 Write-off of Receivable (Hendricks Inc.) = $820,000
2. Changes in depreciation policies:
a) Office Furniture and Fixtures 10-year to 8-year useful life: Effect on Retained Earnings at December 31, 2016 = $250,000 less. Effect on 2017 Income = $60,000 less.
b) Equipment: sum-of-the-years' digits depreciation method: Effect on 2017 income = $110,000 more.
3. Ending inventory for 2016 overstated by $235,000 Prior period adjustment.
4. Preproduction costs for furniture division: New accounting method. Effect on 2016 Retained earnings = $375,000 less.
5. Inventories for Nursery division, from FIFO to LIFO to match current costs with revenues. Effect on 2017, an increase in Earnings = $320,000.
6. Building Construction Division from completed-contract method of accounting to the percentage-of-completion method. Effect on Retained Earnings 2016 = $1,075,000 greater.
b) Mathys Inc. must correct accounting errors by adjusting previously issued financial statements retrospectively. An example of an accounting error is the overstatement of the ending inventory by $235,000. This implies that the 2016 Retained Earnings were overstated.
c) A good example of a change in accounting estimate is the change Mathys Inc. made of the office furniture's useful life from 10 years to 8. Such changes are not applied retroactively to prior years' financial statements.
d) When Marthys Inc. change the inventory valuation method from LIFO to FIFO, it made a change in an accounting principle. Such principle changes are done retroactively, with the restatement of the financial statements.
22. On January 1, 2021, Princess Corporation leased equipment to King Company. The lease term is eight years. The first payment of $675,000 was made on January 1, 2021. The equipment cost Princess Corporation $3,600,000. The present value of the lease payments is $3,961,183. The lease is appropriately classified as a sales-type lease. Assuming the interest rate for this lease is 10%, how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on this lease
Answer:
$293,980.13
Explanation:
Calculation of how much of the interest revenue Princess will record in 2022 on the lease
First Step is to find the interest for year 2021
Present Value January 1, 2021 $3,961,183
Less Payment January 1, 2021 (675,000)
=$3,286,183
Hence,
2021 Interest =$3,286,183× 10%
2021 Interest = $328,618.3
Second Step
Second Payment $675,000
Less Interest (328,618.3)
Reduced balance $346,381.7
Third Step is to find the how much interest revenue will Princess record in 2022 on the lease
2021 $3,286,183
Less Reduced balance (346,381.7)
January 1 2022 Liability = $2,939,801.3× 10%
2022 Interest Revenue =$293,980.13
Therefore the amount of interest revenue that Princess will record in 2022 on the lease will be $293,980.13
Identifying costs of inflation
Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the_______of inflation.
Answer:
Shoe-leather Costs.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Kyoko owns and operates a store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Kyoko sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the shoe-leather costs of inflation.
Inflation can be defined as the persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy. Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
A Shoe-leather costs can be defined as the costs associated with time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting the bank in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.
Figuratively speaking, in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.
Hence, Kyoko is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to protect the store's revenues from the effects of inflation.
Answer following question with true or false and explain.A firm's profit margin is 5%, its debt/assets ratio is 56%, and its dividend payout ratio is 40%. If the firm is operating at less than full capacity, then sales could increase to some extent without the need for external funds, but if it is operating at full capacity with respect to all assets, including fixed assets, then any positive growth in sales will require some external financing.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
As a company's sales level increases, its current assets will increase, e.g. cash, inventories, accounts receivables increase. generally, also the fixed assets increase, specially if the firm was previous producing at full capacity even before total sales increased. But as sales increase, not only do the company's assets increase, its current liabilities generally increase also, and its profits should increase. In this case, 60% of the company's profits are reinvested in the company, and the liabilities represent more than half of the total assets. Therefore, it is possible that the company needs external financing, but it is also possible that it doesn't. You cannot assume that the company will necessarily need external financing, because retained earnings and the increase in current liabilities might be enough to finance the company's growth in sales.
Moepro, Inc. is considering a fiveyear project that has an initial outlay or cost of $120,000. The respective future cash inflows from its project for years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are: $55,000, $45,000, $35,000, $25,000, and $15,000. Moepro uses the internal rate of return method to evaluate projects. What is the project's IRR? A. The IRR is over 25.50%. B. The IRR is about 17.86%. C. The IRR is less than 22.50%. D. The IRR is about 19.16%.
Answer:
B. The IRR is about 17.86%.
Explanation:
The Calculation of the Project`s Internal Rate of Return (IRR) can be done using a Financial Calculator as follows ;
-$120,000 CFj
$55,000 CFj
$45,000 CFj
$35,000 CFj
$25,000 CFj
$15,000 CFj
Shift IRR 17,8557 or 17.86 % (2 decimal places)
Careco Company and Audaco Inc are identical in size and capital structure. However, the riskiness of their assets and cash flows are somewhat different, resulting in Careco having a WACC of 10% and Audaco a WACC of 12%. Careco is considering Project X, which has an IRR of 10.5% and is of the same risk as a typical Careco project. Audaco is considering Project Y, which has an IRR of 11.5% and is of the same risk as a typical Audaco project. Now assume that the two companies merge and form a new company, Careco/Audaco Inc. Moreover, the new company's market risk is an average of the pre-merger companies' market risks, and the merger has no impact on either the cash flows or the risks of Projects X and Y. Which of the following statements is correct?
A) if evaluated using the correct post-merger wacc, project x would have a negative npv.
B) after the merger, careco/audaco would have a corporate wacc of 11%. therefore, it should reject project x but accept project y.
C) careco/audaco's wacc, as a result of the merger, would be 10%.
D) after the merger, careco/audaco should select project y but reject project x. if the firm does this, its corporate wacc will fall to 10.5%.
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Answer:
E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.
Explanation:
Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.

You are the manager of a firm that produces goods X and Y. Your rm receives revenues of $40,000 per year from product X and $90,000 per year from product Y. The price elasticity of demand for product X is |-0.75| and the cross price elasticity of demand between product Y and X is -1.7.
Required:
How much will your firm's total revenues (revenues from both products) change if you increase the price of good X by 2 percent?
Answer:
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change in price
-0.75 = % change in quantity / 2%
-1.5 = % change in quantity
lets assume that 1,000 units of X were sold at $40 each, total revenue = $40,000
new total revenue = 985 x $40.80 = $40,188
revenue generated by good X will increase by 0.47%, from $40,000 to $40,188
price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of Y / % change in price of X
-1.7 = % change quantity of Y / 2%
-3.4% = % change quantity of Y
lets assume that 1,000 units of Y were sold at $90 each, total revenue = $90,000
new total revenue = 966 x $91.80 = $88,678.80
revenue generated by good Y will decrease by -1.47%, from $90,000 to $88,678.80

Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales. 2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region. 3. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region. 4. Prepare a new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that you computed in requirements 2 and 3. Use the same format as shown above. What is Crossfire’s net operating income (loss) in your new segmented income statement? 5. Do you think that Crossfire should allocate its common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region?
Complete Question:
Crossfire Company segments its business into two regions - East and West. The company prepared a contribution format segmented income statement as shown below:
Total Company East West
Sales $900,000 $600,000 $300,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 225,000 120,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $84,000 $70,000 $14,000
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income $25,000
Instructions: (As given).
Answer:
Crossfire Company1. Computation of the companywide break-even point in dollar sales:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
Sales = $816,000
Total costs = Variable costs + Traceable fixed costs
= $675,000 + $141,000
= $816,000
2. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the East region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $530,000
Total costs = $530,000 ($480,000 + 50,000)
3. Computation of the break-even point in dollar sales for the West region:
Break-even point in dollar sales
= Sales = Total costs
= $286,000
Total costs = $286,000 ($195,000 + 91,000)
4. A new segmented income statement based on the break-even dollar sales that are computed in requirements 2 and 3:
Total Company East West
Sales $816,000 $530,000 $286,000
Variable Expenses 675,000 480,000 195,000
Contribution margin 141,000 50,000 105,000
Traceable Fixed Expenses 141,000 50,000 91,000
Segment Margin $0 $0 $0
Common Fixed Expenses 59,000
Net Operating Income/(loss) ($59,000)
Crossfire's net operating income (loss) in the new segmented income statement is: $59,000
5. I think that Crossfire should allocate the common fixed expenses to the East and West regions when computing the break-even points for each region.
This ensures that Crossfire does not run into net operating loss, company-wide. The segmented sales revenues for the regions can be used to allocate the common fixed expenses. Other suitable bases are traceable fixed expense, number of sales and administrative staff, or activity cost pools, using activity-based costing technique.
Explanation:
a) Break-even point in sales dollars is the sales point at which Crossfire's sales revenue will be equal to the total costs. At this point, Crossfire will not make any profit or incur any loss.
A firm has sales of $1,220, net income of $226, net fixed assets of $544, and current assets of $300. The firm has $101 in inventory. What is the common-size statement value of inventory
Answer:
11.97%
Explanation:
Common size statement value of inventory is where all accounts are expressed as a percentage of total assets.
Total assets = Net fixed assets + Current assets
= $544 + $300
= $844
Common size statement value of inventory = Inventory ÷ Total assets
= $101 ÷ $844
= 0.1197
= 11.97%
When gasoline gallons are priced in terms of number of seashells, seashells serve as: Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unit of account
Explanation:
Money serves three functions :
1. Unit of account : money serves the function of determining the value of a good or service. It is usually assumed that goods that are more highly priced are more valuable that goods that have lower prices

3. store of value: money can be saved, retrieved and exchanged sometimes in the future
According to information found on the production analysis page of the Inquirer, Chester sold 1127 units of Cute in the current year. Assuming that Cute maintains a constant market share, all the units of Cute are sold in the Nano market segment and the growth rate remains constant, how many years will it be before Cute will not be able to meet future demand unless the company adds production capacity
Answer:
1 year
Explanation:
Since it is mentioned that there is a constant market share, also the growth rate is also same so for meeting the future demand, the time period that would be considered is one year as the company should added its production capacity so that it could be in a position to meet the demand else the company is not able to meet its future demand
Hence, year 1 is considered
Harver company currently produces component RX5 for its sole product. The current cost per unit to manufacture the required 58000 units of RX5 follows. Direct materials and direct labor are 100% variable. Overhead is 70% fixed. An outside supplier has offered to supply the 58000 units of RX5 for 18.50 per unit. determine the total incremental cost making 58000 units of Rx5. Determine the total incremental cost of buying 58000 units of RX5. Should the company make or buy RX%
Answer:
Decision = Make
Explanation:
The incremental cost to buy and the incremental cost to make can be calculated as follows
DATA
Direct material = $4 (100% variable)
Direct labor = $8 (100% variable)
Overhead = $9 ( 70% fixed)
Total cost per unit = $21
Offered price = $18.5 per unit
Total units = 58,000
Solution
Incremental cost of making
Direct material ( 58,000 x $4) = $232,000
Direct labor (58,000 x $8) = $464,000
Overhead ( 58,000 x $9 x 30%) = $156,600
Total cost = $825,600
Incremental cost of buying
Total cost = No. of units x offered price
Total cost = 58,000 x $18.5
Total cost = $1,073,000
Decision: The company should make the product as the total cost to buy is $247,400 higher than the cost to make.
For an oil and gas limited partnership (LP), allowances in the form of deductions are allowed by the IRS to be taken to compensate for a depleting resource. The allowance can be taken based on
Answer:
The allowance can be taken based on:
a reduction (production) of the oil and gas reserves.
Explanation:
A limited partnership's allowance for depletion is a special form of depreciation used to account for the gradual reduction in the value of natural resources based on their usage or consumption. There are two methods for recognizing depletion of natural resources. They are the cost depletion method, which is based on usage, and the percentage depletion method, which is a percentage of gross earnings. Then, depletion is different from depreciation, in that depreciation is for tangible assets, while depletion is for natural assets.

On June 13, the board of directors of Siewert Inc. declared a 2-for-1 stock split on its 120 million, $1 par, common shares, to be distributed on July 1. The market price of Siewert common stock was $35 on June 13. Prepare a journal entry that summarizes the declaration and distribution of the stock split if it is not to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. What is the par per share after the split
Answer:
Siewert Inc.
Journal Entry:
Memo: This is note that the stock has been split 2-for-1 and the number of common shares increased to 240 (120 x 2) million.
No journal entry is required for a split of 2-for-1 shares. What is required is a memo that indicates that the shares have been split.
The par value is now $0.50 ($1/2)
Explanation:
When the directors of Siewert Inc. declare a stock split, it does not require any journal entry. Instead, a memo is required to describe the declaration and the new number of shares that are now authorized if this has increased, and outstanding. The 2-for-1 split means that stockholders who held 1 share before will now be entitled to 2 shares. This doubling of the number of shares will affect the par value of the shares, causing it to divide by 2. For example, Siewert Inc.'s par value of common shares was $1 before the declaration of the split. After the split, the par value will change to $0.50 or half. This split will also affect the market price of the shares as investors are likely to reduce the current market price to about half of its prevailing price.
Half of all your potential customers would pay $10 for your product but the other half would only pay $8. You cannot tell them apart. Your marginal costs are $4. If you set the price at $10, the expected profit is:
Answer:
The expected profit is:
$5.
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
Profit from customers paying $10 = $6 ($10 - $4)
Profit from customers paying $8 = $4 ($8 - $4)
Expected profit from customers paying $10, = $6 x 0.5 = $3
Expected profit from customers paying $8, = $4 x 0.5 = $2
Total expected profit = $5.
The expected profit is the profit from customers paying $10 weighted with probability plus the weighted profit from customers paying $8. Adding the expected profit from each class of customers gives the overall expected profit combined.
Answer:
Expected Profit is $4
Explanation:
Price = $8
Marginal Cost = $4
The formula to derive the expected profit is Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost------equ(1)
Using equation (1) and given information, expected profit is calculated as
Expected Profit = Price - Marginal Cost
Expected Profit = 8 - 4
Expected Profit = $4
Thus, the Expected Profit is $4

Begin by determining the formula for the price variance, then compute the price variance for the direct materials. (Enter the variance as a positive number. Enter currency amounts in the formula to the nearest cent and then round the final variance amount to the nearest whole dollar. Label the variance as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). Abbreviations used: DM = Direct materials)
Answer:
1. $3,000 Favorable
2. $6,600 Unfavorable.
Explanation:
This is an incomplete question. However, the completed part is question number 2, which has been solved below.
1. Direct material price variance
= (Actual price - Standard price) Actual quantity
= ($2.16 - $2.20) × 75,000
= -$0.04 × 75,000
= $3,000 Favorable
Note: Actual price is gotten by; $162,000 / 75,000
= $2.16
2. Direct material quantity variance
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity) × Standard price
= (75,000 - $72,000) × $2.20
= 3,000 × $2.20
= $6,600 Unfavorable
Note: Standard quantity is gotten by;
24 × 3,000
= 72,000
