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.
Garcia Company has 11,500 units of its product that were produced at a cost of $172,500. The units were damaged in a rainstorm. Garcia can sell the units as scrap for $34,500, or it can rework the units at a cost of $54,000 and then sell them for $71,100.
Clark Kent Inc. buys crypton for $.80 a gallon. At the end of processing in Dept. 1, crypton splits off into products plutonium, tantalum, and xenon. Plutonium is sold at the split-off point with no further processing. Tantalum and xenon require further processing before they can be sold. Tantalum is processed in Dept. 2, and xenon is processed in Dept. 3. Following is a summary of costs and other related data for the year ended December 31: No inventories were on hand at the beginning of the year, and no crypton was on hand at the end of the year. All gallons on hand at the end of the year were complete as to processing. Kent uses the net realizable value method of allocating joint costs. Required: Calculate the allocation of joint costs. Calculate the total cost per unit for each product. In examining the product cost reports, Lois Lane, Vice President—Marketing, notes that the per-unit cost of tantalum is greater than the selling price of $2.75 that can be received in the competitive marketplace. Lane wonders whether they should stop selling tantalum. How did Lane determine that the product was being sold at a loss? What per unit cost should be used in determining whether tantalum should be sold?
Walloon Company produced 150 defective units last month at a unit manufacturing cost of 30. The defective units were discovered before leaving the plant. Walloon can sell them as is for 20 or can rework them at a cost of 15 and sell them at the regular price of 50. What is the total relevant cost of reworking the defective units? a. 2,250 b. 3,000 c. 4,500 d. 6,750
Halpern Companys controller prepared the following income statement and balance sheet at the end of the first year of the companys existence: Investigation shows that RD costs include, among others, 8,000 of operating costs because the company is not yet operating at capacity. In addition, RD costs include 5,000 of materials that were wasted during early production because our employees made some unnecessary mistakes. Required: Prepare the financial statements according to GAAP.
Jonfran Company manufactures three different models of paper shredders including the waste container, which serves as the base. While the shredder heads are different for all three models, the waste container is the same. The number of waste containers that Jonfran will need during the following years is estimated as follows: The equipment used to manufacture the waste container must be replaced because it is broken and cannot be repaired. The new equipment would have a purchase price of 945,000 with terms of 2/10, n/30; the companys policy is to take all purchase discounts. The freight on the equipment would be 11,000, and installation costs would total 22,900. The equipment would be purchased in December 20x4 and placed into service on January 1, 20x5. It would have a five-year economic life and would be treated as three-year property under MACRS. This equipment is expected to have a salvage value of 12,000 at the end of its economic life in 20x9. The new equipment would be more efficient than the old equipment, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in both direct materials and variable overhead. The savings in direct materials would result in an additional one-time decrease in working capital requirements of 2,500, resulting from a reduction in direct material inventories. This working capital reduction would be recognized at the time of equipment acquisition. The old equipment is fully depreciated and is not included in the fixed overhead. The old equipment from the plant can be sold for a salvage amount of 1,500. Rather than replace the equipment, one of Jonfrans production managers has suggested that the waste containers be purchased. One supplier has quoted a price of 27 per container. This price is 8 less than Jonfrans current manufacturing cost, which is as follows: Jonfran uses a plantwide fixed overhead rate in its operations. If the waste containers are purchased outside, the salary and benefits of one supervisor, included in fixed overhead at 45,000, would be eliminated. There would be no other changes in the other cash and noncash items included in fixed overhead except depreciation on the new equipment. Jonfran is subject to a 40 percent tax rate. Management assumes that all cash flows occur at the end of the year and uses a 12 percent after-tax discount rate. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the make alternative. Calculate the NPV of the make alternative. 2. Prepare a schedule of cash flows for the buy alternative. Calculate the NPV of the buy alternative. 3. Which should Jonfran domake or buy the containers? What qualitative factors should be considered? (CMA adapted)
Verde Company reported operating costs of 50,000,000 as of December 31, 20x5, with the following environmental costs: Required: 1. Prepare an environmental cost report, classifying costs by quality category and expressing each as a percentage of total operating costs. What is the message of this report? 2. Prepare a pie chart that shows the relative distribution of environmental costs by category. What does this report tell you? 3. What if Verde deliberately did not include the cost of damaging the ecosystem because of solid waste disposal in its environmental cost report? Offer possible reasons for this decision. If consciously avoided, is this decision unethical?
Lisah, Inc., manufactures golf clubs in three models. For the year, the Big Bart line has a net loss of $10,000 from sales $200,000, variable costs $180,000, and fi xed costs $30,000. If the Big Bart line is eliminated, $20,000 of fi xed costs will remain. Prepare an analysis showing whether the Big Bart line should be eliminated.
Noble Chemical has spent $240,000 to refine 71,000 gallons of acetone, which can be sold for $2.30 a gallon. Alternatively, Noble Chemical can process the acetone further. This processing will yield a total of 59,000 gallons of lacquer thinner that can be sold for $3.20 a gallon. The additional processing will cost $0.85 per gallon of lacquer thinner. To sell the lacquer thinner, Noble Chemical must pay shipping of $0.24 a gallon and administrative expenses of $0.12 a gallon on the thinner. Requirements: 1. Identify the sunk cost. Is the sunk cost relevant to Noble's decision? Why or why not? 2. Should Noblesell the acetone as is or process it into lacquer thinner? Show the expected net revenue difference between the two alternatives.
