● LO16–3, LO16–4, LO16–7The date is January 10, 2023, and Maryton Hotels’ CFO George Smith is looking with dismay at his company’s financial performance during 2022. Already facing stiff competition from other hotel chains as well as Airbnb, Maryton had run an operating loss in 2020 and 2021 and had responded by engaging in a broad effort to refresh hotel décor and update wi-fi and other infrastructure. That effort concluded in late 2021 and seemed to be showing success in early 2022. However, a variant of the COVID-19 virus reached pandemic status in mid-2022, and business and leisure travel fell off considerably. Occupancy rates at Maryton properties plunged, producing a $10 million pre-tax net operating loss for 2022. Maryton’s CEO has asked that George “work some of his accounting magic” to “put a positive spin on things” and minimize Maryton’s net loss, hoping to calm concerns being voiced by investors and lenders.Required:Assume Maryton has a 25% tax rate.

Problem 12-2Fields Laboratories holds a valuable patent (No. 758-6002-1A) on a precipitator that prevents certain types of air pollution. Fields does not manufacture or sell the products and processes it develops.

- AIP 10.4 Allocating the Cost of Scrap LO 6 ITI Technology designs and manufactures solid-state computer chips. In one of its production departments, a 6-inch circular wafer is fabricated by laying down successive layers of silicon and then etching circuits into the layers. Each wafer contains 100 separate solid-state computer chips. After a wafer is manufactured, the 100 chips are cut out of the wafer, initially tested, mounted into protective covers and electrical leads attached. A final quality control test is then performed. The initial testing process consists of successive stages of heating and cooling the chips and testing how they work. If 99 percent of each chip's circuits work properly after the testing, it is classified as a high-density (HD) chip. If between 75 percent and 99 percent of a chip's circuits work properly, it is classified as a low-density (LD) chip. If fewer than 75 percent of the circuits work, it is discarded.

Grit 337 is a coarse cleaning powder with many industrial uses. It costs $1.20 a pound to make, and it has a selling price of $6.80 a pound. A small portion of the annual production of Grit 337 is retained in the factory for further processing. It is combined with several other ingredients to form a paste that is marketed as Sparkle silver polish. The silver polish sells for $5.00 per jar. This further processing requires one-fourth pound of Grit 337 per jar of silver polish.

The commercial division is growing rapidly; it is expanding its production and now wants to increase its purchases of part 23–6711 to 15,600 units per year. The problem is that the industrial division is at full capacity. No new investment in the industrial division has been made for some years because top management sees little future growth in its products, so its capacity is unlikely to increase soon. The commercial division can buy part 23–6711 from Advanced Micro Incorporated or from Admiral Electric, a customer of the industrial division now purchasing 680 units of part 88–461.
