Lloyd Industries manufactures electrical equipment from specifications received from customers. Job X10 was for 1,000 motors to be used in a specially designed electrical complex. The followingcosts were determined for each motor: At final inspection, Lloyd discovered that 33 motors did not meet the exacting specifications established by the customer. Anexamination indicated that 18 motors were beyond repair andshould be sold as spoiled goods for 75 each. The remaining15 motors, though defective, could be reconditioned as first-qualityunits by the addition of 1,650 for materials, 1,500 for labor, and1,200 for factory overhead. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the following: 1. The scrapping of the 18 motors, with the income from spoiledgoods treated as a reduction in the manufacturing cost of thespecific job. 2. The correction of the 15 defective motors, with the additionalcost charged to the specific job. 3. The additional cost of replacing the 18 spoiled motors with newmotors. 4. The sale of the spoiled motors for 75 each. 5. If the reconditioned motors sell for 400 each, is Lloyd betteroff reconditioning the defective motors or selling them as isfor 75 as spoiled goods?

To automate one of its production processes, Milwaukee Corporation bought three flexible manufacturing cells at a price of $400,000 each. When they were delivered, Milwaukee paid freight charges of $30,000 and handling fees of $15,000. Site preparation for these cells cost $50,000. Six employees, each earning $15 an hour, worked five 40-hour weeks to set up and test the manufacturing cells. Special wiring and other materials applicable to the new manufacturing cells cost $2,000. Determine the cost basis (the amount to be capitalized) for these cells.

Micron Manufacturing produces electronic equipment. This year, it produced 7,500 oscilloscopes at a manufacturing cost of $300 each. These oscilloscopes were damaged in the warehouse during storage and, while usable, cannot be sold at their regular selling price of $500 each. Management has investigated the matter and has identified three alternatives for these oscilloscopes. 1. They can be sold as is to a wholesaler for $75 each. 2. They can be disassembled at a cost of $400,000 and the parts sold to a recycler for $130 each. 3. They can be reworked and turned into good units. The cost of reworking the units will be $3,200,000, after which the units can be sold at their regular price of $500 each. Required Which alternative should management pursue? Show analysis for each alternative.
Lemmons Inc. has the following two activities: (1) Retesting reworked products, cost: $720,000. The retesting cost of the most efficient competitor is $225,000. (2) Welding subassembles, cost: $1,350,000 (67,500 welding hours). A benchmarking study reveals that the most efficient level for Lemmons would use 54,000 welding hours and entail a cost of $1,080,000.

The server equipment was believed to have a useful life of eight years, but due to the heavy anticipated usage, the printers were expected to have only a four-year useful life. The software to run the system was estimated to require a complete upgrade in five years to avoid obsolescence. Additionally, delivery costs of $11,500 was incurred for all items above. All of the above costs were subject to a 6% non-refundable provincial sales tax. During the installation, a training course was conducted for the staff that would be using the new equipment, at a cost of $9,650. Assume that Blossom follows IFRS, and that any allocation of…
