b. An important part of processing is performed by a machine that is currently being leased for

$20,000 per month. Belli-Pitt has been offered an arrangement whereby it would pay

$0

.10 royalty per kilogram processed by the machine rather than the monthly lease.

1. Should the company choose the lease or the royalty plan?

2. Under the royalty plan compute break-even point in kilograms.

3. Under the royalty plan compute break-even point in dollars.

4. Under the royalty plan determine the sales in kilograms that would be required to produce net operating income of $90,000.

Part 8: Relevant Cost/Special Order

Gottshall Inc. makes a range of products. The company’s predetermined overhead rate is $19 per direct labor-hour, which was calculated using the following budgeted data:

Variable manufacturing overhead …….	$2 25,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead …………	$630,000
Direct labor-hours…………………………..	45,000

Component P0 is used in one of the company’s products. The unit cost of the component according to the company’s cost accounting system is determined as follows:

Direct materials …………………………………..	$ 21 .00
Direct labor…………………………………………	40.80
Manufacturing overhead applied……………	32.30
Unit product cost …………………………………	$94.10

An outside supplier has offered to supply component P0 for $78 each. The outside supplier is known for quality and reliability. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost, variable manufacturing overhead is really driven by direct labor-hours, and total fixed manufacturing overhead would not be affected by this decision. Gottshall chronically has idle capacity.

Required:

Is the offer from the outside supplier financially attractive? Why?

Part 9: Relevant Cost/Make or Buy Decision

Part U67 is used in one of Broce Corporation’s products. The company’s Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 7,000 units of the part that are needed every year.

Per Unit
Direct materials……………………………………	$8.70
Direct labor …………………………………………	$2.70
Variable overhead ………………………………..	$3.30
Supervisor’s salary……………………………….	$1.90
Depreciation of special equipment …………	$1.80
Allocated general overhead……………………	$5.50

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $21.40 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor’s salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier’s offer were accepted, only $6,000 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.

Required:

a. Prepare a report that shows the effect on the company’s total net operating income of buying part U67 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.

b. Which alternative should the company choose?

Part 10: Relevant Cost/Sell or Process Further

Farrugia Corporation produces two intermediate products, A and B, from a common input. Intermediate product A can be further processed into end product X. Intermediate product B can be further processed into end product Y. The common input is purchased in batches that cost $36 each and the cost of processing a batch to produce intermediate products A and B is $15. Intermediate product A can be sold as is for $21 or processed further for $14 to make end product X that is sold for $32. Intermediate product B can be sold as is for $44 or processed further for $28 to make end product Y that is sold for $64.

Required:

a. Assuming that no other costs are involved in processing potatoes or in selling products, how much money does the company make from processing one batch of the common input into the end products X and Y? Show your work!

b. Should each of the intermediate products, A and B, be sold as is or processed further into an end product? Explain.

Part 11: Relevant Cost/Dropping a Product

The management of Woznick Corporation has been concerned for some time with the financial performance of its product V86O and has considered discontinuing it on several occasions. Data from the company’s accounting system appear below:

$50,000

Sales ……………………………………………………….	$150,000
Variable expenses……………………………………..	$72,000
Fixed manufacturing expenses ……………………
Fixed selling and administrative expenses ……	$33,000

In the company’s accounting system all fixed expenses of the company are fully allocated to products. Further investigation has revealed that $30,000 of the fixed manufacturing expenses and $13,000 of the fixed selling and administrative expenses are avoidable if product V86O is discontinued.

A. According to the company’s accounting system, what is the net operating income earned by product V86O?

B. What would be the effect on the company’s overall net operating income if product V86O were dropped?

Required:

Using the net present value and the internal rate of return methods, is this a good investment?

Part 13: Master Budget

You have just been hired as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets located in shopping malls across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash. Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to prepare a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price—$10 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow (in pairs of earrings):

50,000

30,000

January (actual)	20,000	June (budget)
February (actual)	26,000	July (budget)
March (actual)	40,000	August (budget)	28,000
April (budget)	65,000	September (budget)	25,000
May (budget)		100,000

The concentration of sales before and during May is due to Mother’s Day. Sufficient inventory should be on hand at the end of each month to supply 40% of the earrings sold in the following month.

Suppliers are paid $4 for a pair of earrings. One-half of a month’s purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other half is paid for in the following month. All sales are on credit. Only 20% of a month’s sales are collected in the month of sale. An additional 70% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 10% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible.

Monthly operating expenses for the company are given below:

Variable:

Sales commissions 4% of sales Fixed:

Advertising	$ 200,000
Rent	$ 18,000
Salaries	$ 106,000
Utilities	$ 7,000
Insurance	$ 3,000
Depreciation	$ 14,000

Insurance is paid on an annual basis, in November of each year.

The company plans to purchase $16,000 in new equipment during May and $40,000 in new equipment during June; both purchases will be for cash. The company declares dividends of

$

15,000

each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. The company’s balance sheet as of March 31 is given below:

The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $50,000. All borrowing is done at the beginning of a month; any repayments are made at the end of a month.

The company has an agreement with a bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of

$1,000 at the beginning of each month. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month and for simplicity we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $50,000 in cash.

Required:

Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed schedules:

1. a. A sales budget, by month and in total.

b. A schedule of expected cash collections, by month and in total.

c. A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total.

d. A schedule of expected cash disbursements for merchandise purchases, by month and in total.

2. A cash budget. Show the budget by month and in total. Determine any borrowing that would be needed to maintain the minimum cash balance of $50,000.

3. A budgeted income statement for the three-month period ending June 30. Use the contribution approach.

4. A budgeted balance sheet as of June 30.
