ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
Yes, this is correct. Virtually every organization and person in our society uses accounting
information. Businesses, investors, creditors, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations
must use accounting information to operate effectively.
2.
Accounting is the process of identifying, recording, and communicating the economic events of
an organization to interested users of the information. The first step of the accounting process is
therefore to identify economic events that are relevant to a particular business. Once identified
and measured, the events are recorded to provide a history of the financial activities of the
organization. Recording consists of keeping a chronological diary of these measured events in an
orderly and systematic manner. The information is communicated through the preparation and
distribution of accounting reports, the most common of which are called financial statements.
A vital element in the communication process is the accountant’s ability and responsibility to
analyze and interpret the reported information.
3.
(a) Internal users are those who plan, organize, and run the business and therefore are officers
and other decision makers.
(b) To assist management, accounting provides internal reports. Examples include financial
comparisons of operating alternatives, projections of income from new sales campaigns,
and forecasts of cash needs for the next year.
4.
(a) Investors (owners) use accounting information to make decisions to buy, hold, or sell stock.
(b) Creditors use accounting information to evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money.
5.
Bookkeeping usually involves only the recording of economic events and therefore is just one part
of the entire accounting process. Accounting, on the other hand, involves the entire process of
identifying, recording, and communicating economic events.
6.
Karen Sommers Travel Agency should report the land at $90,000 on its December 31, 2008
balance sheet. An important concept that accountants follow is the cost principle. The cost
principle states that assets should be recorded at their cost. Cost has an important advantage
over other valuations: it is reliable. Cost can be objectively measured and can be verified.
7.
The monetary unit assumption requires that only transaction data capable of being expressed in
terms of money be included in the accounting records. This assumption enables accounting to
quantify (measure) economic events.
8.
The economic entity assumption requires that the activities of the entity be kept separate and
distinct from the activities of its owners and all other economic entities.
9.
The three basic forms of business organizations are: (1) proprietorship, (2) partnership, and
(3) corporation.
1-4
Questions Chapter 1 (Continued)
10.
One of the advantages Maria Gonzalez would enjoy is that ownership of a corporation is represented by transferable shares of stock. This would allow Maria to raise money easily by selling
a part of her ownership in the company. Another advantage is that because holders of the shares
(stockholders) enjoy limited liability, they are not personally liable for the debts of the corporate
entity. Also, because ownership can be transferred without dissolving the corporation, the corporation
enjoys an unlimited life.
11.
The basic accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity.
12.
(a) Assets are resources owned by a business. Liabilities are claims against assets. Put more
simply, liabilities are existing debts and obligations. Owner’s equity is the ownership claim
on total assets.
(b) Owner’s equity is affected by owner’s investments, drawings, revenues, and expenses.
13.
The liabilities are: (b) Accounts payable and (g) Salaries payable.
14.
Yes, a business can enter into a transaction in which only the left side of the accounting equation
is affected. An example would be a transaction where an increase in one asset is offset by
a decrease in another asset. An increase in the Equipment account which is offset by a decrease
in the Cash account is a specific example.
15.
Business transactions are the economic events of the enterprise recorded by accountants
because they affect the basic equation.
(a) The death of the owner of the company is not a business transaction as it does not affect the
basic equation.
(b) Supplies purchased on account is a business transaction as it affects the basic equation.
(c) An employee being fired is not a business transaction as it does not affect the basic equation.
(d) A withdrawal of cash from the business is a business transaction as it affects the basic equation.
16.
(a) Decrease assets and decrease owner’s equity.
(b) Increase assets and decrease assets.
(c) Increase assets and increase owner’s equity.
(d) Decrease assets and decrease liabilities.
17.
(a) Income statement.
(b) Balance sheet.
(c) Income statement.
18.
No, this treatment is not proper. While the transaction does involve a receipt of cash, it does not
represent revenues. Revenues are the gross increase in owner’s equity resulting from business
activities entered into for the purpose of earning income. This transaction is simply an additional
investment made by the owner in the business.
19.
Yes. Net income does appear on the income statement—it is the result of subtracting expenses
from revenues. In addition, net income appears in the statement of owner’s equity—it is shown as
an addition to the beginning-of-period capital. Indirectly, the net income of a company is also
included in the balance sheet. It is included in the capital account which appears in the owner’s
equity section of the balance sheet.
(d) Balance sheet.
(e) Balance sheet and owner’s equity statement.
(f) Balance sheet.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 1-1
(a) $90,000 – $50,000 = $40,000 (Owner’s Equity).
(b) $40,000 + $70,000 = $110,000 (Assets).
(c) $94,000 – $60,000 = $34,000 (Liabilities).
BRIEF EXERCISE 1-2
(a) $120,000 + $232,000 = $352,000 (Total assets).
(b) $190,000 – $80,000 = $110,000 (Total liabilities).
(c) $800,000 – 0.5($800,000) = $400,000 (Owner’s equity).
BRIEF EXERCISE 1-3
(a) ($800,000 + $150,000) – ($500,000 – $80,000) = $530,000
(Owner’s equity).
(b) ($500,000 + $100,000) + ($800,000 – $500,000 – $70,000) = $830,000
(Assets).

EXERCISE 1-3
Larry Smith, president of Smith Company, instructed Ron Rivera, the head of
the accounting department, to report the company’s land in their accounting
reports at its market value of $170,000 instead of its cost of $100,000, in an
effort to make the company appear to be a better investment. The cost
principle requires that assets be recorded and reported at their cost,
because cost is reliable and can be objectively measured and verified.
The stakeholders include stockholders and creditors of Smith Company,
potential stockholders and creditors, other users of Smith’s accounting
reports, Larry Smith, and Ron Rivera. All users of Smith’s accounting reports
could be harmed by relying on information which violates accounting
principles. Larry Smith could benefit if the company is able to attract more
investors, but would be harmed if the fraudulent reporting is discovered.
Similarly, Ron Rivera could benefit by pleasing his boss, but would be
harmed if the fraudulent reporting is discovered.
Ron’s alternatives are to report the land at $100,000 or to report it at
$170,000. Reporting the land at $170,000 is not appropriate since it would
mislead many people who rely on Smith’s accounting reports to make financial decisions. Ron should report the land at its cost of $100,000. He should
try to convince Larry Smith that this is the appropriate course of action, but
be prepared to resign his position if Smith insists.
EXERCISE 1-4
1.
Incorrect. The cost principle requires that assets be recorded and reported

the entity be kept separate and distinct from the activities of its owner
and all other economic entities.

(c) The sequence of preparing financial statements is income statement,
owner’s equity statement, and balance sheet. The interrelationship of
the owner’s equity statement to the other financial statements results
from the fact that net income from the income statement is reported
in the owner’s equity statement and ending capital reported in the
owner’s equity statement is the amount reported for owner’s equity on
the balance sheet.

(c) The sequence of preparing financial statements is income statement,
owner’s equity statement, and balance sheet. The interrelationship of
the owner’s equity statement to the other financial statements results
from the fact that net income from the income statement is reported in
the owner’s equity statement and ending capital reported in the owner’s
equity statement is the amount reported for owner’s equity on the
balance sheet.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PROBLEM
(a) PepsiCo’s total assets at December 31, 2005 were $31,727 million and
at December 25, 2004 were $27,987 million.
(b) PepsiCo had $1,716 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31,
2005.
(c) PepsiCo had accounts payable (and other current liabilities) totaling
$5,971 million on December 31, 2005 and $5,599 million on December 25,
2004.
(d) PepsiCo reports net sales for three consecutive years as follows:
2003

2005
$26,971 million
$29,261 million

(b) PepsiCo’s total assets were approximately 8% greater than Coca-Cola’s
total assets, and PepsiCo’s net sales were 41% greater than Coca-Cola’s
net sales. In addition, PepsiCo’s accounts receivable were 43% greater
than Coca-Cola’s and represent 10% of its net sales. Coca-Cola’s
accounts receivable amount to 9.9% of its net sales. Both PepsiCo’s
and Coca-Cola’s accounts receivable are at satisfactory levels, being
comparable to a 30-day collection period.
Coca-Cola’s net income was 119.5% of PepsiCo’s. It appears that these two
companies’ operations are comparable in some ways, with Coca-Cola’s
operations slightly more profitable.

(d) Some key job functions in accounting:
Auditing: Work in audit involves checking accounting ledgers and
financial statements within corporations and government. This work
is becoming increasingly computerized and can rely on sophisticated
random sampling methods. Audit is the bread-and-butter work of
accounting. This work can involve significant travel and allows you
to really understand how money is being made in the company that
you are analyzing. It’s great background!
Budget Analysis: Budget analysts are responsible for developing and
managing an organization’s financial plans. There are plentiful jobs in
this area in government and private industry. Besides quantitative
skills many budget analyst jobs require good people skills because of
negotiations involved in the work.
1-42
BYP 1-3 (Continued)
Financial: Financial accountants prepare financial statements based on
general ledgers and participate in important financial decisions involving
mergers and acquisitions, benefits/ERISA planning, and long-term financial projections. This work can be varied over time. One day you may
be running spreadsheets. The next day you may be visiting a customer
or supplier to set up a new account and discuss business. This work
requires a good understanding of both accounting and finance.
Management Accounting: Management accountants work in companies
and participate in decisions about capital budgeting and line of business analysis. Major functions include cost analysis, analysis of new
contracts, and participation in efforts to control expenses efficiently.
This work often involves the analysis of the structure of organizations.
Is responsibility to spend money in a company at the right level of our
organization? Are goals and objectives to control costs being communicated effectively? Historically, many management accountants have
been derided as “bean counters.” This mentality has undergone major
change as management accountants now often work side by side with
marketing and finance to develop new business.
Tax: Tax accountants prepare corporate and personal income tax statements and formulate tax strategies involving issues such as financial
choice, how to best treat a merger or acquisition, deferral of taxes,
when to expense items and the like. This work requires a thorough
understanding of economics and the tax code. Increasingly, large corporations are looking for persons with both an accounting and a legal
background in tax. A person, for example, with a JD and a CPA would
be especially desirable to many firms.

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
(a) The estimate of the $6,100 loss was based on the difference between
the $25,000 invested in the driving range and the bank balance of
$18,900 at March 31. This is not a valid basis for determining income
because it only shows the change in cash between two points in time.
(b) The balance sheet at March 31 is as follows:

As shown in the balance sheet, the owner’s capital at March 31 is
$27,450. The estimate of $2,450 of net income is the difference between
the initial investment of $25,000 and $27,450. This was not a valid basis
for determining net income because changes in owner’s equity between
two points in time may have been caused by factors unrelated to net
income. For example, there may be drawings and/or additional capital
investments by the owner(s).
1-44
BYP 1-4 (Continued)
(c) Actual net income for March can be determined by adding owner’s
drawings to the change in owner’s capital during the month as shown
below:

Net income.............................................................................................

$ 3,450
Alternatively, net income can be found by determining the revenues
earned [described in (d) below] and subtracting expenses.
(d) Revenues earned can be determined by adding expenses incurred
during the month to net income. March expenses were Rent, $1,000;
Wages, $400; Advertising, $750; and Utilities, $100 for a total of $2,250.
Revenues earned, therefore, were $5,700 ($2,250 + $3,450). Alternatively,
since all revenues are received in cash, revenues earned can be
computed from an analysis of the changes in cash as follows:

Lynn Benedict
Student
I have received the balance sheet of New York Company as of December 31,
2008. A number of items in this balance sheet are not properly reported.
They are:
1.
The balance sheet should be dated as of a specific date, not for a period
of time. Therefore, it should be dated “December 31, 2008.”
2.
Equipment should be shown as an asset and reported below Supplies
on the balance sheet.
3.
Accounts receivable should be shown as an asset, not a liability, and
reported between Cash and Supplies on the balance sheet.
4.
Accounts payable should be shown as a liability, not an asset. The note
payable is also a liability and should be reported in the liability section.
5.
Liabilities and owner’s equity should be shown on the balance sheet.
Don Wenger, Capital and Don Wenger, Drawing are not liabilities.
6.
Don Wenger, Capital and Don Wenger, Drawing are part of owner’s equity.
The Drawing account is not reported on the balance sheet but is subtracted from Don Wenger, Capital to arrive at owner’s equity at the end
of the period.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The students should identify all of the stakeholders in the case; that is,
all the parties that are affected, either beneficially or negatively, by the
action or decision described in the case. The list of stakeholders in this
case are:
Steve Baden, interviewee.
Both Baltimore firms.
Great Northern College.
(b) The students should identify the ethical issues, dilemmas, or other considerations pertinent to the situation described in the case. In this case
the ethical issues are:
Is it proper that Steve charged both firms for the total travel costs
rather than split the actual amount of $296 between the two firms?
Is collecting $592 as reimbursement for total costs of $296 ethical
behavior?
Did Steve deceive both firms or neither firm?
(c) Each student must answer the question for himself/herself. Would you
want to start your first job having deceived your employer before your
first day of work? Would you be embarrassed if either firm found out
that you double-charged? Would your school be embarrassed if your
act was uncovered? Would you be proud to tell your professor that
you collected your expenses twice?
1-48
BYP 1-7
(a)
ALL ABOUT YOU: THE ETHICS OF FINANCIAL AID
Answers to the following will vary depending on students’ opinions.
(1) This does not represent the hiding of assets, but rather a choice
as to the order of use of assets. This would seem to be ethical.
(2) This does not represent the hiding of assets, but rather is a change
in the nature of assets. Since the expenditure was necessary,
although perhaps accelerated, it would seem to be ethical.
(3) This represents an intentional attempt to deceive the financial aid
office. It would therefore appear to be both unethical and potentially illegal.
(4) This is a difficult issue. By taking the leave, actual net income would
be reduced. The form asks the applicant to report actual net income.
However, it is potentially deceptive since you do not intend on taking
unpaid absences in the future, thus future income would be higher
than reported income.
(b)
Companies might want to overstate net income in order to potentially
increase the stock price by improving investors’ perceptions of the
company. Also, a higher net income would make it easier to receive debt
financing. Finally, managers would want a higher net income to increase
the size of their bonuses.
(c)
Sometimes companies want to report a lower income if they are negotiating with employees. For example, professional sports teams frequently argue that they can not increase salaries because they aren’t
making enough money. This also occurs in negotiations with unions.
For tax accounting (as opposed to the financial accounting in this
course) companies frequently try to minimize the amount of reported
taxable income.
(d)
Unfortunately many times people who are otherwise very ethical will
make unethical decisions regarding financial reporting. They might be
driven to do this because of greed. Frequently it is because their
superiors have put pressure on them to take an unethical action, and
they are afraid to not follow directions because they might lose their
job. Also, in some instances top managers will tell subordinates that
they should be a team player, and do the action because it would help
the company, and therefore would help fellow employees.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
A T account has the following parts: (a) the title, (b) the left or debit side, and (c) the right or credit side.
2.
Disagree. The terms debit and credit mean left and right respectively.
3.
Jeff is incorrect. The double-entry system merely records the dual effect of a transaction on the
accounting equation. A transaction is not recorded twice; it is recorded once, with a dual effect.

(a) The entire group of accounts maintained by a company, including all the asset, liability, and
owner’s equity accounts, is referred to collectively as the ledger.
(b) A chart of accounts is a list of accounts and the account numbers that identify their location in
the ledger. The chart of accounts is important, particularly for a company that has a large number
of accounts, because it helps organize the accounts and identify their location in the ledger.
The numbering system used to identify the accounts usually starts with the balance sheet
accounts and follows with the income statement accounts.
2-5
Questions Chapter 2 (Continued)
18.
A trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a given time. The primary purpose of a
trial balance is to prove (check) that the debits equal the credits after posting. A trial balance also
facilitates the discovery of errors in journalizing and posting. In addition, it is useful in preparing
financial statements.

The basic steps in the recording process are:
1.
Analyze each transaction. In this step, business documents are examined
to determine the effects of the transaction on the accounts.
2.
Enter each transaction in a journal. This step is called journalizing and
it results in making a chronological record of the transactions.
3.
Transfer journal information to ledger accounts. This step is called
posting. Posting makes it possible to accumulate the effects of
journalized transactions on individual accounts.

In the first transaction, bills totaling $6,000 were sent to customers for
services rendered. Therefore, the asset Accounts Receivable is increased
$6,000 and the revenue Service Revenue is increased $6,000. Debits increase
assets and credits increase revenues, so the journal entry is:
Accounts Receivable ........................................................................
Service Revenue........................................................................
(Bill customers for services provided)
6,000
6,000
The $6,000 amount is then posted to the debit side of the general ledger
account Accounts Receivable and to the credit side of the general ledger
account Service Revenue.
In the second transaction, $2,000 was paid in salaries to employees. Therefore,
the expense Salaries Expense is increased $2,000 and the asset Cash is
decreased $2,000. Debits increase expenses and credits decrease assets,
so the journal entry is:
Salaries Expense................................................................................
Cash...............................................................................................
(Salaries paid)

The $2,000 amount is then posted to the debit side of the general ledger

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Mary Jansen, assistant chief accountant.
Users of the company’s financial statements.
The Casey Company.
(b) By adding $1,000 to the Equipment account, that account total is intentionally misstated. By not locating the error causing the imbalance,
some other account may also be misstated by $1,000. If the amount of
$1,000 is determined to be immaterial, and the intent is not to commit
fraud (cover up an embezzlement or other misappropriation of assets),
Mary’s action might not be considered unethical in the preparation of
interim financial statements. However, if Mary is violating a company
accounting policy by her action, then she is acting unethically.
(c) Mary’s alternatives are:
1. Miss the deadline but find the error causing the imbalance.
2. Tell her supervisor of the imbalance and suffer the consequences.
3. Do as she did and locate the error later, making the adjustment in
the next quarter.

ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
(a) Students’ responses to this question will vary. It is important that the
steps that they identify be as specific as possible, and clearly directed
toward achieving their goal. You may wish to ask a follow-up question
asking them to explain how each step will assist them in achieving
their goal.
(b) There are many sites on the Internet that provide information about
preparing a résumé. For example, you can find extensive resources at:
http://www.rileyguide.com/resprep.html. Many schools also have resources in their placement centers or writing labs. The Writing Center
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute provides useful, concise information on its website at http://www.rpi.edu/web/writingcenter/resume.html.
A wide variety of sample résumés can be found. For example,
Monster.com provides samples for a wide variety of professions and
situations at http://content.monster.com/experts/resume/library/
(c)
As noted in the All About You feature in chapter 2 of the text, overstating
accomplishments on a résumé can result in many problems. It is
important to provide accurate and complete documentation of all
relevant training, education, and employment experiences so as to
provide assurance to the potential employer, and also to enable that
employer to do follow-up work. If you say you have certain skills, such
as computer skills, try to substantiate the claim with recognized proof
of proficiency. Make sure that all addresses and phone numbers are
accurate and up-to-date. Also, ensure that the people you use as
references have a copy of your résumé and cover letter, and that they
are informed that you are interviewing so they know to expect a call.
(d) See the sample résumés provided in the websites above for various
format options. You might also mention to students that there are
electronic résumé templates available on the Internet.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Under the time period assumption, an accountant is required to determine the relevance of
each business transaction to specific accounting periods.
(b) An accounting time period of one year in length is referred to as a fiscal year. A fiscal year
that extends from January 1 to December 31 is referred to as a calendar year. Accounting
periods of less than one year are called interim periods.
2.
The two generally accepted accounting principles that relate to adjusting the accounts are:
The revenue recognition principle, which states that revenue should be recognized in the accounting
period in which it is earned.
The matching principle, which states that efforts (expenses) be matched with accomplishments
(revenues).
3.
The law firm should recognize the revenue in April. The revenue recognition principle states that
revenue should be recognized in the accounting period in which it is earned.
4.
Information presented on an accrual basis is more useful than on a cash basis because it reveals
relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future results. To illustrate, under accrual
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned so they can be related to the economic
environment in which they occur. Trends in revenues are thus more meaningful.
5.
Expenses of $4,500 should be deducted from the revenues in April. Under the matching principle
efforts (expenses) should be matched with accomplishments (revenues).
6.
No, adjusting entries are required by the revenue recognition and matching principles.
7.
A trial balance may not contain up-to-date information for financial statements because:
(1) Some events are not journalized daily because it is not efficient to do so.
(2) The expiration of some costs occurs with the passage of time rather than as a result of daily
transactions.
(3) Some items may be unrecorded because the transaction data are not known.
8.
The two categories of adjusting entries are deferrals and accruals. Deferrals consist of prepaid
expenses and unearned revenues. Accruals consist of accrued revenues and accrued expenses.
9.
In the adjusting entry for a prepaid expense, an expense is debited and an asset is credited.
10.
No. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset to expense over its useful life in
a rational and systematic manner. Depreciation results in the presentation of the book value of
the asset, not its market value.
11.
Depreciation expense is an expense account whose normal balance is a debit. This account
shows the cost that has expired during the current accounting period. Accumulated depreciation
is a contra asset account whose normal balance is a credit. The balance in this account is the
depreciation that has been recognized from the date of acquisition to the balance sheet date.

Questions Chapter 3 (Continued)
*13.
In the adjusting entry for an unearned revenue, a liability is debited and a revenue is credited.
*14.
Asset and revenue. An asset would be debited and a revenue would be credited.
*15.
An expense is debited and a liability is credited.
*16.
Net income was understated $200 because prior to adjustment, revenues are understated by
$900 and expenses are understated by $700. The difference in this case is $200 ($900 – $700).

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES
EXERCISE 3-1
1.
True.
2.
True.
3.
False. Many business transactions affect more than one of these artificial
time periods. For example, the purchase of a building affects expenses
for many years.
4.
True.
5.
False. A time period that lasts less than one year, such as monthly or
quarterly periods, is called an interim period.
6.
False. All calendar years are fiscal years, but not all fiscal years are
calendar years. An accounting time period that is one year in length is
referred to as a fiscal year. A fiscal year that starts on January 1 and
ends on December 31 is a calendar year.
EXERCISE 3-2
(a) Accrual-basis accounting records the transactions that change a
company’s financial statements in the periods in which the events
occur rather than in the periods in which the company receives or pays
cash. Information presented on an accrual basis is useful because it
reveals relationships that are likely to be important in predicting future
results. Conversely, under cash-basis accounting, revenue is recorded
only when cash is received, and an expense is recognized only when
cash is paid. As a result, the cash basis of accounting often leads to
misleading financial statements.
(b) Politicians might desire a cash-basis accounting system over an accrualbasis system because if an accrual-accounting system is used, it could
mean that billions in government liabilities presently unrecorded would
have to be reported in the federal budget immediately. The recognition
of these additional liabilities would make the deficit even worse. This
is not what politicians would like to see and be held responsible for.
3-10
(c) Dear Senator,
It is my understanding, after having taken a beginning course in accounting principles, that the Federal government uses a cash-basis system
rather than an accrual-basis accounting system.
I am shocked at such a practice! There must be billions of dollars of
liabilities hidden in many contracts that have not been recorded yet for
the mere reason that they haven’t been paid yet. I realize that the
deficit would dramatically increase if we were to implement an accrual
system, but in all fairness, we citizens should be given a more accurate
picture of what our government is up to.
Sincerely,
CONCERNED STUDENT

Computation
(a) Supplies balance = $1,300
Supplies expense
Add: Supplies (1/31)
Less: Supplies purchased
Supplies (1/1)
(b) Total premium = $4,800
Total premium = Monthly premium X 12;
$400 X 12 = $4,800
Purchase date = Aug. 1, 2007
$ 950
850
(500)
$1,300
Purchase date: On Jan. 31, there are
6 months’ coverage remaining ($400 X 6).
Thus, the purchase date was 6 months

FINANCIAL REPORTING PROBLEM
(a) Items that may result in adjusting entries for prepayments are:
1. Prepaid expenses and other current assets (per balance sheet).
2. Property, plant, and equipment, net of depreciation (per balance
sheet).
3. Amortizable intangibles assets, net (per balance sheet)—amortization
is similar to depreciation (explained later in Chapter 10).
(b) Accrual adjusting entries were probably made for accounts payable
and other current liabilities, interest expense, and income taxes payable.
(c) As indicated in the 5-Year Summary, the trend in net income has been
positive. In every year since 2001 (except 2005), net income has increased.
In 2001 net income was $2,400 million and in 2005 it was $4,078 million.

(b) The generally accepted accounting principles pertaining to the income
statement that were not recognized by Amaya were the revenue recognition
principle and the matching principle. The revenue recognition principle
states that revenue is recognized when it is earned. The fees of
$15,000 for summer rentals have not been earned and, therefore,
should not be reported in income for the quarter ended March 31. The
matching principle dictates that efforts (expenses) be matched with
accomplishments (revenues) whenever it is reasonable and practicable
to do so. This means that the expenses should include amounts incurred
in March but not paid until April. The difference in expenses was
$7,750 ($48,450 – $40,700). The overstatement of revenues ($15,000)
plus the understatement of expenses ($7,750) equals the difference in
reported income of $22,750 ($49,300 – $26,550).

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Dear President Nickels:
Upon reviewing the accounts of your company at the end of the year,
I discovered that adjusting entries were not made.
Adjusting entries are made at the end of the accounting period to ensure
that the revenue recognition and matching principles required under
generally accepted accounting principles are followed. The use of adjusting
entries makes it possible to report on the balance sheet the appropriate
assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity at the statement date and to report on
the income statement the proper net income (or loss) for the year.
Adjusting entries are needed because the trial balance may not contain an
up-to-date and complete record of transactions and events for the following
reasons:
1.
Some events are not journalized daily because it is not efficient to
do so. Examples are the use of supplies and the earning of wages
by employees.
2.
The expiration of some costs is not journalized during the accounting period because these costs expire with the passage of time
rather than as a result of recurring daily transactions. Examples
of such costs are building and equipment depreciation, rent, and
insurance.
3.
Some expenses, such as the cost of utility service and property
taxes, may be unrecorded because the bills for the costs have not
been received.
There are four types of adjusting entries:
1.
Prepaid expenses—expenses paid in cash and recorded as assets
before they are used or consumed.
2.
Unearned revenues—revenues received in cash and recorded as
liabilities before they are earned.
3-75
BYP 3-5 (Continued)
3.
Accrued revenues—revenues earned but not yet received in cash
or recorded.
4.
Accrued expenses—expenses incurred but not yet paid in cash or
recorded.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have on adjusting entries.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Cathi Bell, controller.
The president of Bluestem Company.
Bluestem Company stockholders.
(b) 1.
It is unethical for the president to place pressure on Cathi to misstate
net income by requesting her to prepare incorrect adjusting entries.
2.
It is customary for adjusting entries to be dated as of the balance
sheet date although the entries are prepared at a later date. Cathi
did nothing unethical by dating the adjusting entries December 31.
(c) Cathi can accrue revenues and defer expenses through the preparation
of adjusting entries and be ethical so long as the entries reflect
economic reality. Intentionally misrepresenting the company’s financial
condition and its results of operations is unethical (it is also illegal).

BYP 3-7
ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
We address the issue of contingent liabilities with greater precision in
Chapter 11. Our primary interest in this exercise is to engage students in a
discussion regarding the general nature of the financial statement elements
(assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses).
(a)
By taking out the bank loan your friend has incurred a liability. You do
not have a liability unless your friend defaults, or unless it becomes
clear that he will default. The loan application may, however, require you
to disclose any guarantees that you have signed, since they represent
potential liabilities.
(b) Accounting standards have specific requirements regarding accounting for situations where there is uncertainty regarding whether a liability
has been incurred. Those standards require an evaluation of the probability of an amount being owed. Without going into detail regarding
those standards, the basic idea is that if it is probable that you will
owe money, then you should accrue a liability. If it is not probable, but
it is possible that you will owe money, then you should disclose facts
regarding the situation. The most important point is that this event has
the potential to materially impact your finances, and therefore you have
a responsibility to disclose it to the bank in some form.
(c)
Losing your job would not create a financial liability, although it would
most certainly reduce your revenues. You are obviously concerned that
you might lose your job, but you don’t have specific information that
would suggest that it will happen. Therefore, you probably don’t have
an obligation to disclose this information to the bank. However, unless
you are relatively certain that you would be able to find suitable employment relatively quickly, you might want to wait until your job situation
has stabilized before pursuing a loan of this size.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
No. A worksheet is not a permanent accounting record. The use of a worksheet is an optional
step in the accounting cycle.
2.
The worksheet is merely a device used to make it easier to prepare adjusting entries and the
financial statements.
3.
The amount shown in the adjusted trial balance column for an account equals the account
balance in the ledger after adjusting entries have been journalized and posted.
4.
The net income of $12,000 will appear in the income statement debit column and the balance
sheet credit column. A net loss will appear in the income statement credit column and the
balance sheet debit column.
5.
Formal financial statements are needed because the columnar data are not properly arranged
and classified for statement purposes. For example, a drawing account is listed with assets.
6.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
7.
Income Summary is a temporary account that is used in the closing process. The account is
debited for expenses and credited for revenues. The difference, either net income or loss, is then
closed to the owner’s capital account.
8.
The post-closing trial balance contains only balance sheet accounts. Its purpose is to prove the
equality of the permanent account balances that are carried forward into the next accounting
period.
9.
The accounts that will not appear in the post-closing trial balance are Depreciation Expense;
Jennifer Shaeffer, Drawing; and Service Revenue.
10.
A reversing entry is the exact opposite, both in amount and in account titles, of an adjusting entry
and is made at the beginning of the new accounting period. Reversing entries are an optional
step in the accounting cycle.
11.
The steps that involve journalizing are: (1) journalize the transactions, (2) journalize the adjusting
entries, and (3) journalize the closing entries.
12.
The three trial balances are the: (1) trial balance, (2) adjusted trial balance, and (3) post-closing
trial balance.
13.
Correcting entries differ from adjusting entries because they: (1) are not a required part of the
accounting cycle, (2) may be made at any time, and (3) may affect any combination of accounts.
(Dr) Individual revenue accounts and (Cr) Income Summary.

Assets
Current Assets
Long-term Investments
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Intangible Assets
Liabilities and Owner’s Equity
Current Liabilities
Long-term Liabilities

*15. A company’s operating cycle is the average time required to go from cash to cash in producing
revenues. The operating cycle of a company is the average time that it takes to purchase
inventory, sell it on account, and then collect cash from customers.
*16. Current assets are assets that a company expects to convert to cash or use up in one year. Some
companies use a period longer than one year to classify assets and liabilities as current because they
have an operating cycle longer than one year. Companies usually list current assets in the order
in which they expect to convert them into cash.
*17. Long-term investments are generally investments in stocks and bonds of other companies that
are normally held for many years. Property, plant, and equipment are assets with relatively long
useful lives that a company is currently using in operating the business.
*18. (a)
(b)

FINANCIAL REPORTING PROBLEM
(a)
Total current assets were $10,454 million at December 31, 2005, and
$8,639 million at December 25, 2004.
(b)
Current assets are properly listed in the order of liquidity. As you will
learn in the next chapter, inventory is considered to be less liquid
than receivables. Thus, it is listed below receivables and before prepaid
expenses and other current assets.
(c)
The asset classifications are similar to the text: (1) current assets,
(2) property, plant, and equipment, (3) intangible assets, and
(4) investments.
(d)
Cash equivalents are investments with original maturities of 3 months
or less that PepsiCo does not intend to rollover beyond three months.
(e)
Total current liabilities were $9,406 million at December 31, 2005, and
$6,752 million at December 25, 2004.

(b) Current assets are cash and other resources that are reasonably expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed within one year or
the company’s operating cycle, whichever is longer. Current liabilities
are obligations that are reasonably expected to be paid from existing
current assets or through the creation of other current liabilities.
In both PepsiCo and Coca-Cola’s case, current assets were slightly
greater than current liabilities. From this information, it appears that
both are in approximately the same liquidity position.
Coca-Cola’s stockholders’ equity represents a larger percentage of
total assets 55.6% $16,355 than PepsiCo’s 44.9% $14,251 . As a result,
$31,727
$29,427
Coca-Cola has less debt relative to its total assets than PepsiCo. It
therefore appears that Coca-Cola is less likely to default on a debt
obligation.

Accounting Cycle
The required steps in the accounting cycle, in the order in which they
should be completed, are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Analyze business transactions.
Journalize the transactions.
Post to ledger accounts.
Prepare a trial balance.
Journalize and post adjusting entries.
Prepare an adjusted trial balance.
Prepare financial statements.
Journalize and post closing entries.
Prepare a post-closing trial balance.
The optional steps in the accounting cycle include preparing a worksheet
and preparing reversing entries. If a worksheet is prepared, it is done after
step 3 above, and it includes steps 4 and 6. The worksheet is a form used
to make it easier to prepare adjusting entries and financial statements. If reversing entries are prepared, they are journalized and posted after step 9,
at the beginning of the next accounting period. A reversing entry is the
exact opposite of a previously recorded adjusting entry and simplifies the
recording of subsequent transactions.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this case are:
You, as controller.
Jerry McNabb, president.
Users of the company’s financial statements.
(b) The ethical issue is the continued circulation of significantly misstated
financial statements. As controller, you have just issued misleading
financial statements. You have acted ethically by telling the company’s
president. The president has reacted unethically by allowing the
misleading financial statements to continue to circulate.
(c) As controller, you should impress upon the president the consequences
of having those misleading financial statements be detected by some
user or the SEC (if you are a public company). Also stress upon him
that you have a professional obligation to correct the statements or
to resign.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Disagree. The steps in the accounting cycle are the same for both a merchandising company
and a service company.
(b) The measurement of income is conceptually the same. In both types of companies, net
income (or loss) results from the matching of expenses with revenues.
2.
The normal operating cycle for a merchandising company is likely to be longer than in a service
company because inventory must first be purchased and sold, and then the receivables must be
collected.
3.
(a) The components of revenues and expenses differ as follows:
Merchandising
Revenues
Expenses
(b)
Service
Fees, Rents, etc.
Operating (only)
Sales
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating
The income measurement process is as follows:
Sales
Revenue
Less
Cost of
Goods
Sold
Gross
Profit
Equals
Less
Operating
Expenses
Equals
Net
Income
4.
Income measurement for a merchandising company differs from a service company as follows:
(a) sales are the primary source of revenue and (b) expenses are divided into two main
categories: cost of goods sold and operating expenses.
5.
In a perpetual inventory system, cost of goods sold is determined each time a sale occurs.
6.
The letters FOB mean Free on Board. FOB shipping point means that goods are placed free on
board the carrier by the seller. The buyer then pays the freight and debits Merchandise Inventory.
FOB destination means that the goods are placed free on board to the buyer’s place of business.
Thus, the seller pays the freight and debits Freight-out.
7.
Credit terms of 2/10, n/30 mean that a 2% cash discount may be taken if payment is made within
10 days of the invoice date; otherwise, the invoice price, less any returns, is due 30 days from the
invoice date.

Agree. In accordance with the revenue recognition principle, sales revenues are generally considered to be earned when the goods are transferred from the seller to the buyer; that is, when
the exchange transaction occurs. The earning of revenue is not dependent on the collection of
credit sales.
10.
(a) The primary source documents are: (1) cash sales—cash register tapes and (2) credit sales—
sales invoice.

(a)
The operating activities part of the income statement has three sections: sales revenues,
cost of goods sold, and operating expenses.
(b)
The nonoperating activities part consists of two sections: other revenues and gains, and
other expenses and losses.
*19.
The functional groupings are selling and administrative. The problem with functional groupings
is that some expenses may have to be allocated between the groups.
*20.
The single-step income statement differs from the multiple-step income statement in that: (1) all data
are classified into two categories: revenues and expenses, and (2) only one step, subtracting
total expenses from total revenues, is required in determining net income (or net loss).

BRIEF EXERCISE 5-8
As the name suggests, numerous steps are required in determining net
income in a multiple-step income statement. In contrast, only one step is
required to compute net income in a single-step income statement. A multiplestep statement has five sections whereas a single-step statement has only
two sections. The multiple-step statement provides more detail than a singlestep statement, but net income is the same under both statements.
Some of the differences in presentation can be seen from the comparative
information presented below.

EXERCISE 5-11
(a) $900,000 – $540,000 = $360,000.
(b) $360,000/$900,000 = 40%. The gross profit rate is generally considered to
be more useful than the gross profit amount. The rate expresses a more
meaningful (qualitative) relationship between net sales and gross profit.
The gross profit rate tells how many cents of each sales dollar go to
gross profit. The trend of the gross profit rate is closely watched by
financial statement users, and is compared with rates of competitors
and with industry averages. Such comparisons provide information about
the effectiveness of a company’s purchasing function and the soundness
of its pricing policies.
(c) Income from operations is $130,000 ($360,000 – $230,000), and net income
is $119,000 ($130,000 – $11,000).
(d) The amount shown for net income is the same in a multiple-step income
statement and a single-step income statement. Both income statements
report the same revenues and expenses, but in different order. Therefore,
net income in Payton’s single-step income statement is also $119,000.
(e) Merchandise inventory is reported as a current asset immediately below
accounts receivable.

No. Even though sales declined in 2008 from each of the two prior years,
the gross profit rate increased. This means that cost of goods sold
declined more than sales did, reflecting better purchasing power or control
of costs. Therefore, in spite of declining sales, profitability, as measured by
the gross profit rate, actually improved.

(b)
Net income = Gross profit – Operating expenses
= $69,640 – $63,500 = $6,140

(k)
2007 Inventory + Purchases – 2008 Inventory = CGS
Merchandise inventory = 2007 Inventory + Purchases – CGS

PROBLEM 5-6B (Continued)
(2) A decline in sales does not necessarily mean that profitability declined.
Profitability is affected by sales, cost of goods sold, and operating
expenses. If cost of goods sold or operating expenses decline more
than sales, profitability can increase even when sales decline. However,
in this particular case, sales declined with insufficient offsetting cost
savings to improve profitability. Therefore, profitability declined for

Comment
The percentage of net income to sales increased 9% from 2003 to 2004
(13.2% to 14.4%) but declined 13% from 2004 to 2005 (14.4% to 12.5%). The
gross profit rate has remained steady during this time. The primary reason
for the decrease in 2005 income was the increase in income tax expense.
Note 5 explains that the company’s 2005 tax expense includes a one-time
tax that resulted from including “repatriated” earnings from international
transactions.

(b) PepsiCo has a higher gross profit but a lower gross profit rate than
Coca-Cola. This difference can be explained by PepsiCo’s higher sales
level and a higher cost of goods sold.
Coca-Cola had a larger operating income because its cost of goods
sold was smaller than PepsiCo’s and it reported no amortization of
intangible assets.

(b) Carrie’s proposed changes will increase net income by $31,080. Luke’s
proposed changes will reduce operating expenses by $28,000 and
result in a corresponding increase in net income. Thus, if the choice is
between Carrie’s plan and Luke’s plan, Carrie’s plan should be adopted.
While Luke’s plan will increase net income, it may also have an adverse
effect on sales personnel. Under Luke’s plan, sales personnel will be
taking a cut of $16,000 in compensation [$60,000 – ($30,000 + $14,000)].

If both plans are implemented, net income will be $58,240 ($85,240 –
$27,000) higher than the 2007 results. This is an increase of over 200%.
Given the size of the increase, Luke’s plan to compensate sales personnel might be modified so that they would not have to take a pay cut.
For example, if sales commissions were 3%, the compensation cut would
be reduced to $8,580 [$16,000 (from (b)) – $742,000 X (3% – 2%)].

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
(a), (b)
President
Surfing USA Co.
Dear Sir:
As you know, the financial statements for Surfing USA Co. are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. One of these
principles is the revenue recognition principle, which provides that revenues
should be recognized when they are earned.
Typically, sales revenues are earned when the goods are transferred to the
buyer from the seller. At this point, the sales transaction is completed and
the sales price is established. Thus, in the typical situation, revenue on the
surfboard ordered by Flutie is earned at event No. 8, when Flutie picks up
the surfboard.
The circumstances pertaining to this sale may seem to you to be atypical
because Flutie has ordered a specific kind of surfboard. From an accounting
standpoint, this would be true only if you could not reasonably expect to
sell this surfboard to another customer. In such case, it would be proper
under generally accepted accounting principles to recognize sales revenue
when you have completed the surfboard for Flutie.
Whether Flutie makes a down payment with the purchase order is irrelevant
in recognizing sales revenue because at this time, you have not done anything to earn the revenue. A down payment may be an indication of Flutie’s
“good faith.” However, its effect on your financial statements is limited entirely
to recognizing the down payment as unearned revenue.
If you have further questions about the accounting for this sale, please let
me know.
Sincerely,

ETHICS CASE
(a) Laura McAntee, as a new employee, is placed in a position of responsibility and is pressured by her supervisor to continue an unethical
practice previously performed by him. The unethical practice is taking
undeserved cash discounts. Her dilemma is either follow her boss’s
unethical instructions or offend her boss and maybe lose the job she
just assumed.
(b) The stakeholders (affected parties) are:
Laura McAntee, the assistant treasurer.
Danny Feeney, the treasurer.
Dorchester Stores, the company.
Creditors of Dorchester Stores (suppliers).
Mail room employees (those assigned the blame).
(c) Laura’s alternatives:
1. Tell the treasurer (her boss) that she will attempt to take every allowable cash discount by preparing and mailing checks within the
discount period—the ethical thing to do. This will offend her boss
and may jeopardize her continued employment.
2. Join the team and continue the unethical practice of taking undeserved
cash discounts.
3. Go over her boss’s head and take the chance of receiving just and
reasonable treatment from an officer superior to Danny. The company
may not condone this practice. Laura definitely has a choice, but
probably not without consequence. To continue the practice is
definitely unethical. If Laura submits to this request, she may be
asked to perform other unethical tasks. If Laura stands her ground
and refuses to participate in this unethical practice, she probably
won’t be asked to do other unethical things—if she isn’t fired.
Maybe nobody has ever challenged Danny’s unethical behavior and
his reaction may be one of respect rather than anger and retribution.
Being ethically compromised is no way to start a new job.

ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
(a) In a cash transaction the value of the item being exchanged is determined by the cash exchanged. In a barter transaction it is important
that the value of the item being given up be objectively determined. To
do this, Atlantis must demonstrate that it has sold similar space for
cash to other parties. If it cannot demonstrate this, then it should not
recognize revenue.
In the late 1990’s it was quite common for Internet companies to
engage in transactions in which they essentially swapped advertisements on each other’s web sites. At the time this was being done many
of these companies were reporting net losses. It was believed by many
that their high share prices were being driven instead by increasing
revenues. Many observers were concerned that these swap transactions
were simply a means to artificially boost reported revenue.
(b) In order for revenue to be recognized it must be earned. In this case
Atlantis has an obligation to provide goods with a value equal to the
gift card. That obligation is not fulfilled until one of two things happens:
Either the customer redeems the card for goods, or the card expires. Until
either of those events occurs Atlantis cannot record revenue.
(C) In this case Atlantis has sold two separate products. First, it has sold a
stereo. Revenue from the sale of the stereo would be recorded upon
delivery of the product. Second, it has sold an extended warranty. Under
the warranty, it has an obligation to fix or replace the product for
a three year period. Therefore, it has not fully earned the warranty
revenue of $150 until the three years have passed. Rather than waiting
until the end of the warranty period, it should instead recognize some
revenue during each of the three years. It might do this evenly, or it
might do it proportional to the related expenses it expects.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY TABLE
Correlation Chart between Bloom’s Taxonomy, Study Objectives and End-of-Chapter Exercises and Problems
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
Agree. Effective inventory management is frequently the key to successful business operations.
Management attempts to maintain sufficient quantities and types of goods to meet expected
customer demand. It also seeks to avoid the cost of carrying inventories that are clearly in excess
of anticipated sales.
2.
Inventory items have two common characteristics: (1) they are owned by the company and (2) they
are in a form ready for sale in the ordinary course of business.
3.
Taking a physical inventory involves actually counting, weighing or measuring each kind of
inventory on hand. Retailers, such as a hardware store, generally have thousands of different
items to count. This is normally done when the store is closed.
4.
(a) (1)
5.
Inventoriable costs are $3,020 (invoice cost $3,000 + freight charges $50 – purchase discounts
$30). The amount paid to negotiate the purchase is a buying cost that normally is not included in
the cost of inventory because of the difficulty of allocating these costs. Buying costs are
expensed in the year incurred.
6.
There are three distinguishing features in the income statement of a merchandising company:
(1) a sales revenues section, (2) a cost of goods sold section, and (3) gross profit.
7.
Actual physical flow may be impractical because many items are indistinguishable from one
another. Actual physical flow may be inappropriate because management may be able to
manipulate net income through specific identification of items sold.
8.
The major advantage of the specific identification method is that it tracks the actual physical flow
of the goods available for sale. The major disadvantage is that management could manipulate
net income.
9.
No. Selection of an inventory costing method is a management decision. However, once a method
has been chosen, it should be consistently applied.
The goods will be included in Reeves Company’s inventory if the terms of sale are
FOB destination.
(2) They will be included in Cox Company’s inventory if the terms of sale are FOB shipping
point.
(b) Reeves Company should include goods shipped to a consignee in its inventory. Goods held
by Reeves Company on consignment should not be included in inventory.
10.
(a) FIFO.
(b) Average-cost.
(c) LIFO.
11.
Plato Company is using the FIFO method of inventory costing, and Cecil Company is using the
LIFO method. Under FIFO, the latest goods purchased remain in inventory. Thus, the inventory
on the balance sheet should be close to current costs. The reverse is true of the LIFO method.
Plato Company will have the higher gross profit because cost of goods sold will include a higher
proportion of goods purchased at earlier (lower) costs.
6-5
Questions Chapter 6 (Continued)
12. Casey Company may experience severe cash shortages if this policy continues. All of its net
income is being paid out as dividends, yet some of the earnings must be reinvested in inventory
to maintain inventory levels. Some earnings must be reinvested because net income is
computed with cost of goods sold based on older, lower costs while the inventory must be
replaced at current, higher costs. Because of this factor, net income under FIFO is sometimes
referred to as “phantom profits.”
13. Peter should know the following:
(a) A departure from the cost basis of accounting for inventories is justified when the value of
the goods is lower than its cost. The writedown to market should be recognized in the period
in which the price decline occurs.
(b) Market means current replacement cost, not selling price. For a merchandising company,
market is the cost at the present time from the usual suppliers in the usual quantities.
14. Garitson Music Center should report the CD players at $380 each for a total of $1,900. $380
is the current replacement cost under the lower-of-cost-or-market basis of accounting for inventories.
A decline in replacement cost usually leads to a decline in the selling price of the item. Valuation
at LCM is conservative.
15. Ruthie Stores should report the toasters at $27 each for a total of $540. The $27 is the lower of cost
or market. It is used because it is the lower of the inventory’s cost and current replacement cost.
16. (a) Mintz Company’s 2007 net income will be understated $7,000; (b) 2008 net income will be
overstated $7,000; and (c) the combined net income for the two years will be correct.
17. Willingham Company should disclose: (1) the major inventory classifications, (2) the basis of
accounting (cost or lower of cost or market), and (3) the costing method (FIFO, LIFO, or average).
18. An inventory turnover that is too high may indicate that the company is losing sales opportunities
because of inventory shortages. Inventory outages may also cause customer ill will and result in
lost future sales.
*19. Disagree. The results under the FIFO method are the same but the results under the LIFO
method are different. The reason is that the pool of inventoriable costs (cost of goods available
for sale) is not the same. Under a periodic system, the pool of costs is the goods available for
sale for the entire period, whereas under a perpetual system, the pool is the goods available for
sale up to the date of sale.
*20. In a periodic system, the average is a weighted average based on total goods available for sale for the
period. In a perpetual system, the average is a moving average of goods available for sale after
each purchase.
*21. Inventories must be estimated when: (1) management wants monthly or quarterly financial
statements but a physical inventory is only taken annually and (2) a fire or other type of casualty
makes it impossible to take a physical inventory.
6-6
Questions Chapter 6 (Continued)
*22. In the gross profit method, the average is the gross profit rate, which is gross profit divided by net
sales. The rate is often based on last year’s actual rate. The gross profit rate is applied to net sales
in using the gross profit method.
In the retail inventory method, the average is the cost-to-retail ratio, which is the goods available
for sale at cost divided by the goods available for sale at retail. The ratio is based on current year
data and is applied to the ending inventory at retail.
*23. The estimated cost of the ending inventory is $40,000:
Net sales ......................................................................................................................................
Less: Gross profit ($400,000 X 35%) ....................................................................................
Estimated cost of goods sold ...................................................................................................

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-1
(a) Ownership of the goods belongs to the consignor (Smart). Thus, these
goods should be included in Smart’s inventory.
(b) The goods in transit should not be included in the inventory count
because ownership by Smart does not occur until the goods reach
the buyer.
(c) The goods being held belong to the customer. They should not be
included in Smart’s inventory.
(d) Ownership of these goods rests with the other company (the consignor).
Thus, these goods should not be included in the physical inventory.
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-2
The items that should be included in inventoriable costs are:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(e)
Freight-in
Purchase Returns and Allowances
Purchases
Purchase Discounts
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-3
(a) The ending inventory under FIFO consists of 200 units at $8 + 160 units
at $7 for a total allocation of $2,720 or ($1,600 + $1,120).
(b) The ending inventory under LIFO consists of 300 units at $6 + 60 units
at $7 for a total allocation of $2,220 or ($1,800 + $420).
6-8
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-4
Average unit cost is $6.89 computed as follows:
300 X $6 = $1,800
400 X $7 = 2,800
200 X $8 = 1,600
900
$6,200
$6,200 ÷ 900 = $6.89 (rounded).
The cost of the ending inventory is $2,480 or (360 X $6.89).
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-5
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
FIFO would result in the highest net income.
FIFO would result in the highest ending inventory.
LIFO would result in the lowest income tax expense (because it would
result in the lowest net income).
Average-cost would result in the most stable income over a number
of years because it averages out any big changes in the cost of inventory.
BRIEF EXERCISE 6-6
Cost of good sold under:
Purchases
Cost of goods available for sale
Less: Ending inventory
Cost of goods sold
LIFO
$6 X 100
$7 X 200
$8 X 150
$ 3,200
$ 1,160
$ 2,040
FIFO
$6 X 100
$7 X 200
$8 X 150
$ 3,200
$ 1,410
$ 1,790
Since the cost of goods sold is $250 less under FIFO ($2,040 – $1,790) that
is the amount of the phantom profit. It is referred to as “phantom profit”
because FIFO matches current selling prices with old inventory costs. To
replace the units sold, the company will have to pay the current price of $8
per unit, rather than the $6 per unit which some of the units were priced at
under FIFO. Therefore, profit under LIFO is more representative of what the
company can expect to earn in future periods.

The understatement of ending inventory caused cost of goods sold to be
overstated $10,000 and net income to be understated $10,000. The correct
net income for 2008 is $100,000 or ($90,000 + $10,000).
Total assets in the balance sheet will be understated by the amount that
ending inventory is understated, $10,000.

5. Add to inventory: District Sales ordered goods
with a cost of $8,000. Strawser should record the
corresponding sales revenue of $10,000. Strawser’s
decision to ship extra “unordered” goods does not
constitute a sale. The manager’s statement that District
could ship the goods back indicates that Strawser knows
this over-shipment is not a legitimate sale. The manager
acted unethically in an attempt to improve Strawser’s
reported income by over-shipping ......................................

(a)
FIFO Cost of Goods Sold
(#1012) $100 + (#1045) $90 = $190
(b)
It could choose to sell specific units purchased at specific costs if it
wished to impact earnings selectively. If it wished to minimize earnings
it would choose to sell the units purchased at higher costs—in which
case the Cost of Goods Sold would be $190. If it wished to maximize
earnings it would choose to sell the units purchased at lower costs—in
which case the cost of goods sold would be $170.
(c)
I recommend they use the FIFO method because it produces a more
appropriate balance sheet valuation and reduces the opportunity to
manipulate earnings.
(The answer may vary depending on the method the student chooses.)

(b) The FIFO method will produce the higher ending inventory because
costs have been rising. Under this method, the earliest costs are
assigned to cost of goods sold and the latest costs remain in ending
inventory. For Yount Company, the ending inventory under FIFO is
$840 or (120 X $7) compared to $600 or (120 X $5) under LIFO.
(c) The LIFO method will produce the higher cost of goods sold for Yount
Company. Under LIFO the most recent costs are charged to cost of
goods sold and the earliest costs are included in the ending inventory.
The cost of goods sold is $5,700 or [$6,300 – (120 X $5)] compared to
$5,460 or ($6,300 – $840) under FIFO.

(b) The use of FIFO would result in the highest net income since the earlier
lower costs are matched with revenues.
(c) The use of FIFO would result in inventories approximating current cost in
the balance sheet, since the more recent units are assumed to be on hand.
(d) The use of LIFO would result in Jones paying the least taxes in the
first year since income will be lower.

(c) Dear Mr./Ms. President:
Because your ending inventory of December 31, 2008 was overstated
by $5,000, your net income for 2008 was overstated by $5,000. For 2009
net income was understated by $5,000.
In a periodic system, the cost of goods sold is calculated by deducting
the cost of ending inventory from the total cost of goods you have
available for sale in the period. Therefore, if this ending inventory figure
is overstated, as it was in December 2008, then the cost of goods sold
is understated and therefore net income will be overstated by that
amount. Consequently, this overstated ending inventory figure goes on
to become the next period’s beginning inventory amount and is a part
of the total cost of goods available for sale. Therefore, the mistake
repeats itself in the reverse.
6-18
EXERCISE 6-12 (Continued)
The error also affects the balance sheet at the end of 2008. The inventory reported in the balance sheet is overstated; therefore, total assets
are overstated. The overstatement of the 2008 net income results in the
capital account balance being overstated. The balance sheet at the end
of 2009 is correct because the overstatement of the capital account at
the end of 2008 is offset by the understatement of the 2009 net income
and the inventory at the end of 2009 is correct.
Thank you for allowing me to bring this to your attention. If you have
any questions, please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

The inventory turnover ratio decreased by approximately 34% from 2007 to
2009 while the days in inventory increased by almost 53% over the same
time period. Both of these changes would be considered negative since it’s
better to have a higher inventory turnover with a correspondingly lower days
in inventory. However, Santo’s Photo gross profit rate increased by 28%
from 2007 to 2009, which is a positive sign.

(b)
FIFO gives the same ending inventory and cost of goods sold values
under both the periodic and perpetual inventory system. LIFO and
average give different ending inventory and cost of goods sold values
under the periodic and perpetual inventory systems, due to the Last-in,
First-out assumption being applied to a different pool of costs.
(c)
The simple average would be [($5 + $6 + $7) ÷ 3)] or $6. However, the
average-cost method uses a weighted-average unit cost that changes
each time a purchase is made rather than a simple average.

(d) The choice of inventory method depends on the company’s objectives.
Since the diamonds are marked and coded, the company could use specific
identification. This could, however, result in “earnings management” by
the company because, as shown, it could carefully choose which diamonds
to sell to result in the maximum or minimum income. Employing a cost
flow assumption, such as LIFO or FIFO, would reduce record-keeping
costs. FIFO would result in higher income, but LIFO would reduce
income taxes and provide better matching of current sales revenue
with current costs.

PROBLEM 6-7A (Continued)
(5) The illusionary gross profit is $18,500 or ($259,000 – $240,500). Under
LIFO, Utley Inc. has recovered the current replacement cost of the
units ($424,500), whereas under FIFO, it has only recovered the
earlier costs ($406,000). This means that under FIFO the company
must reinvest $18,500 of the gross profit to replace the units used.
Answer in business letter form:
Dear Utley Inc.
After preparing the comparative condensed income statements for
2008 under FIFO and LIFO methods, we have found the following:
The FIFO method produces the most meaningful inventory amount
for the balance sheet because the units are costed at the most
recent purchase prices. This method is most likely to approximate
actual physical flow because the oldest goods are usually sold
first to minimize spoilage and obsolescence.
The LIFO method produces the most meaningful net income because
the costs of the most recent purchases are matched against sales.
There will be $5,180 additional cash available under LIFO because
income taxes are $30,940 under LIFO and $36,120 under FIFO.
There exists an illusionary gross profit of $18,500 ($259,000 –
$240,500). Under LIFO, you have recovered the current replacement
cost of the units ($424,500) whereas under FIFO you have only
recovered the earlier costs ($406,000). This means that under
FIFO, the company must reinvest $18,500 of the gross profit to
replace the units sold.

In a period of rising costs, the LIFO cost flow assumption results in the
highest cost of goods sold and lowest gross profit. FIFO gives the
lowest cost of goods sold and highest gross profit. The weighted
average cost flow assumption results in amounts between the other two.
On the balance sheet, FIFO gives the highest ending inventory (representing the most current costs); LIFO gives the lowest ending inventory
(representing the oldest costs); and average-cost results in an ending
inventory falling between the other two.

b
(b) (1) The FIFO method produces the most meaningful inventory amount
for the balance sheet because the units are costed at the most
recent purchase prices.
(2) The LIFO method produces the most meaningful net income because
the cost of the most recent purchases are matched against sales.
(3) The FIFO method is most likely to approximate actual physical
flow because the oldest goods are usually sold first to minimize
spoilage and obsolescence.
(4) There will be $2,304 additional cash available under LIFO because
income taxes are $52,000 under LIFO and $54,304 under FIFO.
(5) Gross profit under the average cost method will be: (a) lower than
FIFO and (b) higher than LIFO.

(b) Companies can choose a cost flow method that produces the highest
possible cost of goods sold and lowest gross profit to justify price
increases. In this example, LIFO produces the lowest gross profit and
best support to increase selling prices.

b
(b) Answers to questions:
(1) The FIFO method produces the most meaningful inventory amount
for the balance sheet because the units are costed at the most
recent purchase prices.
(2) The LIFO method produces the most meaningful net income
because the costs of the most recent purchases are matched
against sales.
(3) The FIFO method is most likely to approximate actual physical flow
because the oldest goods are usually sold first to minimize
spoilage and obsolescence.
(4) There will be $4,200 additional cash available under LIFO because
income taxes are $34,500 under LIFO and $38,700 under FIFO.
(5) The illusionary gross profit is $14,000 or ($249,000 – $235,000).
Under LIFO, Dains Co. has recovered the current replacement cost
of the units ($395,000), whereas under FIFO, it has only recovered
the earlier costs ($381,000). This means that, under FIFO, the
company must reinvest $14,000 of the gross profit to replace the
units used.

In a period of rising costs, the LIFO cost flow assumption results in the
highest cost of goods sold and lowest gross profit. FIFO gives the lowest
cost of goods sold and highest gross profit. The moving-average-cost flow
assumption results in amounts between the other two.
On the balance sheet, FIFO gives the highest ending inventory (representing the most current costs); LIFO gives the lowest ending inventory
(representing the oldest costs); and average cost results in an ending
inventory falling between the other two.

(b) PepsiCo’s turnover of 8.77 times is approximately one and a half times

MEMO
To:
From:
Janice Lemay, President
Student
Re:
2007 ending inventory error
As you know, 2007 ending inventory was overstated by $1 million. Of course,
this error will cause 2007 net income to be incorrect because the ending
inventory is used to compute 2007 cost of goods sold. Since the ending
inventory is subtracted in the computation of cost of goods sold, an
overstatement of ending inventory results in an understatement of cost of
goods sold and therefore an overstatement of net income.
Unfortunately, unless corrected, this error will also affect 2008 net income. The
2007 ending inventory is also the 2008 beginning inventory. Therefore, 2008
beginning inventory is also overstated, which causes an overstatement of
cost of goods sold and an understatement of 2008 net income.
6-66
BYP 6-6
ETHICS CASE
(a) The higher cost of the items ordered, received, and on hand at yearend will be charged to cost of goods sold, thereby lowering current
year’s income and income taxes. If the purchase at year-end had been
made in the next year, the next year’s cost of goods sold would have
absorbed the higher cost. Next year’s income will be increased if unit
purchases (next year) are less than unit sales (next year). This is
because the lower costs carried from the earlier year as inventory will
be charged to next year’s cost of goods sold. Therefore, next year’s
income taxes will increase.
(b) No. The president would not have given the same directive because the
purchase under FIFO would have had no effect on net income of the
current year.
(c) The accountant has no grounds for not ordering the goods if the
president insists. The purchase is legal and ethical.

ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
Students responses to this question will vary depending on the inventory
fraud they choose to investigate. Here are responses for the two examples
given in the activity.
The fraud at Leslie Fay involved a number of illegal actions, all of which
increased net income. The company intentionally overstated ending inventory,
which has the effect of understating cost of goods sold. It also understated
or completely omitted discounts and allowances that it gave to retailers. In
addition, it recorded inventory costs at amounts that differed from the invoice
amount. It also reported sales in incorrect periods.
McKesson Corporation increased its reported net income through manipulation
of inventory and sales records. It back-dated many transactions to increase
current period results. It also swapped inventory to increase reported revenue.
Many of the transactions that it reported as sales, and which resulted in
reductions in inventory, were actually not sales because they had negotiated
side agreements which allowed the buyer to return the merchandise.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) An accounting information system collects and processes transaction data and communicates
financial information to decision makers.
(b) Disagree. An accounting information system applies regardless of whether manual or computerized procedures are used to process the transaction data.
2.
There are three principles for developing an accounting information system:
Cost effectiveness. The system must be cost-effective; that is, the benefits obtained from the
information must outweigh the cost of providing it.
Useful output. To be useful, information must be understandable, relevant, reliable, timely, and
accurate.
Flexibility. The system should accommodate a variety of users and changing information needs.
3.
Common features of a computerizied accounting package beyond recording transactions and
preparing financial statements are: easy data access and report preparation; audit trail, internal
controls, customization; and network compatibility.
4.
ERP systems go far beyond the functions of an entry level general ledger package. They integrate
all aspects of the organization, including accounting, sales, human resource management, and
manufacturing.
5.
A subsidiary ledger is a group of accounts with a common characteristic. The accounts are assembled
together to facilitate the accounting process by freeing the general ledger from details concerning
individual balances. The advantages of using subsidiary ledgers are that they:
Permit transactions affecting a single customer or single creditor to be shown in a single
account, thus providing necessary up-to-date information on specific account balances.
Free the general ledger of excessive details relating to accounts receivable and accounts
6.
payable. As a result, a trial balance of the general ledger does not contain potentially thousands
and thousands of individual account balances.
Assist in locating errors in individual accounts by reducing the number of accounts in one ledger
and by using control accounts.
Permit a division of labor in posting by having one employee post to the general ledger and
(a) different employee(s) post to the subsidiary ledgers.
(a) (1) Transactions to individual accounts are generally posted daily to the subsidiary ledger.
(2) In contrast, postings to the control accounts are usually made in total at the end of the month.
(b) A control account is a general ledger account that summarizes subsidiary ledger data. Subsidiary
ledger accounts keep track of specific account activity (i.e., specific debtors or creditors).
A subsidiary ledger is an addition to, and an expansion of, the general ledger.
7-4
Questions Chapter 7 (Continued)
7.
Sales journal. Records entries for all sales of merchandise on account.
Cash receipts journal. Records entries for all cash received by the business.
Purchases journal. Records entries for all purchases of merchandise on account.
Cash payments journal. Records entries for all cash paid.
Some advantages of each journal are given below:
Sales journal. (1) Since the sales journal employs only one line to record a Sales transaction,
its use reduces recording time; (2) the column totals are only posted to the general ledger
once an accounting period; and (3) the journal’s use separates responsibilities between
employees.
Cash receipts journal. (1) Its use aids in the posting process since the totals for Cash, Sales
Discounts, Accounts Receivable, and Sales are all recorded in the general ledger only at
the end of the month; and (2) it allows all accounts receivable credits to be posted to the
appropriate subsidiary ledger accounts daily.
Purchases journal. The advantages are similar to those of the sales journal except that
items involved are Merchandise Inventory debits and Accounts Payable credits.
Cash payments journal. Similar advantages to cash receipts journal except the columns
involved are different.
In general, special journals: (1) allow greater division of labor because various individuals can
record entries in different journals at the same time; and (2) reduce posting time of journals.
8.
The entry for the sales return should be recorded in the general journal. Since Thogmartin
Company has a single-column sales journal, only credit sales can be recorded there. A purchase
by Thogmartin Company has not taken place, so the use of the purchases journal is inappropriate.
Finally, no cash is received or paid, so neither the cash receipts or cash payments journal should
be used.
9.
At the end of the month, after all postings to both the general ledger and the subsidiary accounts
have been made, the total of the subsidiary account balances should equal the balance of the
control account in the general ledger. In this case, the control account balance will be $450 larger
than the total of the subsidiary accounts.
10.
The purpose of special journals is to facilitate the recording process of the business entity. Therefore,
the columns included in any special journal should correspond to the unique needs of the entity.
In particular, one type of business which might not require an Accounts Receivable column would
be grocery stores. These businesses rarely sell on credit to their customers. The minimum
frequency of the transaction implies no need for an Accounts Receivable column in the cash
receipts journal.
11.
(a) No, the customers’ ledger will not agree with the Accounts Receivable control account. The
customers’ ledger will be posted correctly, but the Accounts Receivable control account will
be incorrect.
(b) The trial balance will balance, although Cash will be $4,000 too high and Accounts Receivable
$4,000 too low.
12.
The special journal is the sales journal. The other account is Sales. (The cash receipts journal is
an incorrect answer because there would be more than two month-end postings to general ledger
accounts.)

15.
Typically included would be credit purchases of equipment, office supplies, and store supplies.
However, any other item purchased on credit could also be included in a special column or the
“other” column.
16.
One such example is a purchase return. Here the Accounts Payable control and subsidiary account
must be debited for the same amount. The debit/credit equality is unaffected since the balance
sheet equation is computed using general ledger (control) accounts only. The subsidiary accounts
should prove to the control account balance.
17.
The general journal may be used to record such transactions as the granting of credit to a
customer for a sales return or allowance, the receipt of credit from a supplier for purchases
returned, acceptance of a note receivable from a customer, or the purchase of a plant asset by
issuing a note payable. In addition, all correcting, adjusting, and closing entries should be made
in the general journal.

Subject:
Posting of Control and Subsidiary Accounts
The posting of these accounts varies with the journals used in recording
the transactions.
Sales and purchases journals—the total for the month is posted to
the control accounts. The individual entries are posted daily to the
subsidiary accounts.
Columnar cash receipts and cash payments journals—the total of
the control account column for the month is posted to the control
account. The individual amounts in the column are posted daily to
the subsidiary accounts.
General journal—the individual entries are posted daily. Each entry
that pertains to a control and a subsidiary account is dual posted.
That is, it is posted to both the control account and the subsidiary
account.
I hope this memo answers your questions about posting.

payments journal to record the payments made during the month. The
general ledger debit amount should be $29,340 to balance. Tebbetts’
ending balance must be $2,600. (Accounts Payable control balance of
$9,500 less Perez, $4,600, and Zerbe, $2,300.)
(b) Only the general journal amounts were dual posted. Thus, the amounts
were $1,400 (Dr.), $265 (Cr.), and $550 (Cr.).

(b) Hughey & Payne should have:
(1) An accounts receivable control account with individual customers’
accounts in a customers’ subsidiary ledger.
(2) An accounts payable control account with individual creditors in a
creditors’ subsidiary ledger.
The use of control accounts and subsidiary ledgers will: (1) provide
necessary up-to-date information on specific customer and creditor
balances, (2) free the general ledger of excessive detail, (3) help locate
errors in individual accounts, and (4) make possible a division of labor in

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Mr. Jim Houser
2 Main Street
Central City, Michigan 48172
Dear Mr. Houser:
Thank you for hiring two additional bookkeepers a month ago to help me with
the accounting. Unfortunately, the inefficiencies in recording transactions
have continued at an even higher rate. The reason is that there are often
times when more than one person needs to use the journal. In addition, the
daily posting of transactions continues to be very time consuming.
I would like to suggest some changes in the accounting system. Because of
the increased volume of business, I believe it is time for us to use special
journals for journalizing transactions. Special journals would be in addition to
the journal that we are using now. There would be four special journals:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Sales journal—for all sales of merchandise on account.
Cash receipts journal—for all cash received.
Purchases journal—for all purchases of merchandise on account.
Cash payments journal—for all cash payments.
To use special journals, we will need columnar journal paper which can be
obtained at any office supply store at very low cost. I can also quickly train the
new bookkeepers in the use of special journals. Special journals will permit
a division of labor so that all three of us can be recording transactions at the
same time. Thus, the inefficiencies in journalizing will be eliminated.
Special journals also make it possible to do some postings monthly. This
will significantly reduce the time required to make daily postings. As a result,
it should free up some time for us to do other things!
I am confident that the use of special journals will improve the efficiency of the
accounting department. If you have any questions on this recommendation,
please let me know.
Yours sincerely,
Barb

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this case are:
Jose Molina, manager of Roniger’s centralized computer accounting
operation.
The employees of Roniger’s three divisions at Freeport, Rockport,
and Bayport.
(b) Jose’s instructions to assign the Bayport code to all uncoded and
incorrectly coded sales documents overstates the sales of Bayport
and understates the sales of Freeport and Rockport, thereby affecting
the employee bonus plan. Jose’s intent and action are unethical. He is
padding the sales of his wife’s, relatives’, and friends’ Bayport division
sales and unfairly aiding them in the bonus competition.
(c) Roniger Products Company should have a written policy covering uncoded and incorrectly coded sales documents. This would prevent the
manager from arbitrarily designating the division to be credited for the
uncoded sales.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
Disagree. Internal control is also concerned with the safeguarding of company assets from employee
theft, robbery, and unauthorized use.
2.
The principles of internal control are: (a) establishment of responsibility, (b) segregation of duties,
(c) documentation procedures, (d) physical, mechanical, and electronic controls, (e) independent
internal verification, and (f) other controls.
3.
This is a violation of the internal control principle of establishing responsibility. In this case, each
sales clerk should have a separate cash register or cash register drawer.
4.
The two applications of segregation of duties are:
(1) Different individuals should be responsible for related activities.
(2) Responsibility for the record keeping for an asset should be separate from the physical custody
of that asset.
5.
Documentation procedures contribute to good internal control by providing evidence that transactions and events have occurred and, when signatures (or initials) are added, the documents
establish responsibility for the transactions. The prompt transmittal of documents to accounting
contributes to recording transactions in the proper period, and the prenumbering of documents
helps to ensure that a transaction is not recorded more than once or not at all.
6.
Physical controls include safes, vaults, and locked warehouses. These controls contribute to the
safeguarding of company assets. Mechanical and electronic controls include cash registers and
time clocks that contribute to the accuracy and reliability of the accounting records, and
electronic burglary systems and sensors that help to safeguard assets.
7.
(a) Independent internal verification involves the review of data prepared by employees.
(b) Maximum benefit is obtained from independent internal verification when:
(1) The verification is made periodically or on a surprise basis.
(2) The verification is done by an employee who is independent of the personnel responsible
for the information.
(3) Discrepancies and exceptions are reported to a management level that can take appropriate
corrective action.
8.
(a) The concept of reasonable assurance rests on the premise that the costs of establishing
control procedures should not exceed their expected benefit.
(b) The human element is an important factor in a system of internal control. A good system
can become ineffective through employee fatigue, carelessness, or indifference. Moreover,
internal control may become ineffective as a result of collusion.
9.
Cash should be reported at $20,850 ($8,000 + $850 + $12,000).
10.
Daily cash counts pertain primarily to the principles of segregation of duties and independent
internal verification. Daily cash counts also involve the establishment of responsibility for performing the counts.
8-4
Questions Chapter 8 (Continued)
11.
Cash registers are readily visible to the customer. Thus, they prevent the sales clerk from ringing
up a lower amount and pocketing the difference. In addition, the customer receives an itemized
receipt, and the cash register tape is locked into the register for further verification.
12.
Two mail clerks contribute to a more accurate listing of mail receipts and to the endorsement of
all checks “For Deposit Only.” In addition, two clerks reduce the likelihood of mail receipts being
diverted to personal use.
13.
Payment by check contributes to effective internal control over cash disbursements. However,
effective control is also possible when small payments are made from petty cash.
14.
The procedure and related principle are:
Procedure
Principle
(1)
(2)
* Establishment of responsibility.
* Physical, mechanical, and electronic controls.
(3)
Treasurer signs checks.
Checks imprinted by a machine in
indelible ink.
Comparing check with approved
invoice before signing.
* Independent internal verification.
15.
Physical, mechanical, and electronic controls apply to cash disbursements when: (a) blank checks are
stored in a safe, and access to the safe is restricted to authorized personnel, and (b) a checkwriting
machine and indelible ink are used to imprint amounts on checks. Other controls apply when the
approved invoice is stamped PAID after payment.
16.
(a) A voucher system is a network of approvals by authorized individuals acting independently
to ensure that all disbursements by check are proper.
(b) The internal control principles applicable to a voucher system are: (1) establishment of responsibility, (2) segregation of duties, and (3) independent internal verification.
17.
Electronic funds transfer is a cash disbursement system that uses wire, telephone, or computers
to transfer cash from one location to another.
18.
The activities in a petty cash system and the related principles are:
(a)
(b)
19.
(1)
(2)
Establishing the fund.
Making payments from the fund.
(3)
Replenishing the fund.
* Establishment of responsibility for custody of fund.
* Documentation procedures because the custodian
must use a prenumbered petty cash receipt.
* Independent internal verification because the request for replenishment must be approved before
the check is written.
Journal entries are required for a petty cash fund when it is established and replenished.
Entries are also required when the size of the fund is increased or decreased.
A bank contributes significantly to internal control over cash because it: (1) safeguards cash on
deposit, (2) minimizes the amount of currency that must be kept on hand, and (3) provides a double
record of all bank transactions.
8-5
Questions Chapter 8 (Continued)
20.
The lack of agreement between the balances may be due to either:
(1) Time lags—a check written in July does not clear the bank until August.
(2) Errors—a check for $110 is recorded by the depositor at $101.
21.
The four steps are: (1) determine deposits in transit, (2) determine outstanding checks, (3) discover
any errors made, and (4) trace bank memoranda.
22.
(a) An NSF check occurs when the checkwriter’s bank balance is less than the amount of the check.
(b) In a bank reconciliation, a customer’s NSF check is deducted from the balance per books.
(c) An NSF check results in an adjusting entry in the company’s books, as a debit to Accounts
Receivable and a credit to Cash.

True.
False. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires U.S. corporations to
maintain an adequate system of internal control.
BRIEF EXERCISE 8-2
The purposes of internal control are to:
1.
Safeguard a company’s assets from employee theft, robbery, and unauthorized use. An application for Ready Parking is the use of a cash
register to safeguard assets.
2.
Enhance the accuracy and reliability of a company’s accounting records
by reducing the risk of errors (unintentional mistakes) and irregularities
(intentional mistakes and misrepresentations) in the accounting process.
An application for Ready Parking is preparation of a bank reconciliation.
Both purposes are important to the success of any business endeavor.

PROBLEM 8-6A
Tom has created a situation that leaves many opportunities for undetected
theft. Here is a list of some of the deficiencies in internal control. You may
find others.
1.
Documentation procedures. The tickets were unnumbered. By numbering
the tickets, the students could have been held more accountable for the
tickets. See number 3 below.
2.
Physical controls and establishment of responsibility. The tickets were left
in an unlocked box on his desk. Instead, Tom should have assigned
control of the tickets to one individual, in a locked box which that student
alone had control over.
3.
Documentation procedures. No record was kept of which students took
tickets to sell or how many they took. In combination with items 1 and
2 above, the student assigned control over the tickets should have
kept a record of which tickets were issued to each student for resale.
(Note: This problem could have been largely avoided if the tickets had
only been sold at the door on the day of the dance.)
4.
Documentation procedures. There was no control over unsold tickets.
This deficiency made it possible for students to sell the tickets, keep
the cash, and tell Tom that they had disposed of the unsold tickets.
Instead, students should have been required to return the unsold
tickets to the student maintaining control over tickets, and the cash to
Tom. In each case, the students should have been issued a receipt for
the cash they turned in and the tickets they returned.
5.
Establishment of responsibility. Inadequate control over the cash box.
In effect, it was operated like a petty cash fund, but too many people
had the key. Instead, Tom should have had the key and dispersed
funds when necessary for purchases.
6.
Documentation procedures. Instead of receipts, students simply wrote
notes saying how they used the funds. Instead, it should have been
required that they provided a valid receipt.
8-26
PROBLEM 8-6A (Continued)
7.
Segregation of duties. Luke Gilmor counted the funds, made out the
deposit slip, and took the funds to the bank. This made it possible for
Luke Gilmor to take some of the money and deposit the rest since there
was no external check on his work. Tom should have counted the funds,
with someone observing him. Then he could have made out the deposit
slip and had Luke Gilmor deposit the funds.
8.
Documentation procedures. Tom did not receive a receipt from
Obnoxious Ed. Without a receipt, there is no way to verify how much
Obnoxious Ed was actually paid. For example, it is possible that he
was only paid $100 and that Tom took the rest.
9.
Separation of duties. Mel Harris was collecting tickets and receiving cash
for additional tickets sold. Instead, there should have been one person
selling tickets at the door and a second person collecting tickets.
8-27
PROBLEM 8-1B
(a)
Principles
Application to Starr Theater
Establishment of responsibility.
Only cashiers are authorized to sell
tickets. Only the manager and cashier
can handle cash.
Segregation of duties.
The duties of receiving cash and admitting customers are assigned to the
cashier and to the usher. The manager
maintains custody of the cash, and the
company accountant records the cash.
Documentation procedures.
Tickets are prenumbered. Cash count
sheets are prepared. Deposit slips are
prepared.
Physical, mechanical, and
electronic controls.
A safe is used for the storage of cash
and a machine is used to issue tickets.
Independent internal verification.
Cash counts are made by the manager
at the end of each cashier’s shift. Daily
comparisons are made by the company
treasurer.
Other controls.
Cashiers are bonded.
(b) Actions by the usher and cashier to misappropriate cash might include:
(1) Instead of tearing the tickets, the usher could return the tickets to
the cashier who could resell them, and the two could divide the cash.
(2) The cashier could issue a lower price ticket than paid for and the
usher would admit the customer. The difference between the ticket
issued and the cash received could be divided between the usher
and cashier.

(c) The internal control features of a petty cash fund include:
(1) A custodian is responsible for the fund.
(2) A prenumbered petty cash receipt signed by the custodian and the
individual receiving payment is required for each payment from
the fund.
(3) The treasurer’s office examines all payments and stamps supporting
documents to indicate they were paid when the fund is replenished.
(4) Surprise counts can be made at any time to determine whether the
fund is intact.

FINANCIAL REPORTING PROBLEM
(a) In the Independent Auditors’ Report, it states that “consolidated financial
statements referred to above [including the statement of cash flows]
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PepsiCo,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and December 25, 2004,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity
with United States generally accepted accounting principles.”
(b) Cash and cash equivalents are reported at $1,716 million for 2005 and
$1,280 million for 2004.
(c) Cash equivalents are defined as “investments with original maturities of
three months or less which we do not intend to rollover beyond three
months.”
(d) PepsiCo’s management states that “our system of internal control
is based on the control criteria framework of the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission published in
their report titled, Internal Control—Integrated Framework. The system
is designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
executed as authorized and accurately recorded; that assets are
safeguarded; and that accounting records are sufficiently reliable to
permit the preparation of financial statements that conform in all
material respects with accounting principles generally accepted in the
U.S. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed summarized
and reported within the specified time periods. We monitor these
internal controls through self-assessments and an ongoing program
of internal audits. Our internal controls are reinforced through our
Worldwide Code of Conduct, which sets forth our commitment to
conduct business with integrity, and within both the letter and the
spirit of the law.”

companies use the cash provided by operating activities to purchase
land, buildings and equipment, to make acquisitions of other companies,
to buy back their stock, and to pay dividends. Both companies have large
cash balances at the end of 2005 and are capable of generating huge
amounts of cash.

EXPLORING THE WEB
(a)
The system of internal control should be evaluated by: (1) responsible
individuals from a particular university unit, (2) internal auditors, and
(3) university management.
(b)
Reconciliations ensure accuracy and completeness of transactions.
In particular, a reconciliation ensures that all cash received is:
(1) properly deposited in university bank accounts and (2) recorded
accurately in the financial records. The reconciliation should be
reviewed by the department manager.
(c)
Some examples given of physical controls are a safe, vault, locked
doors, campus police, computer passwords, and card key systems.
(d)
Two ways to accomplish inventory counts are: (1) annual complete
inventory or (2) cycle counting programs.
8-40
BYP 8-4
DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
(a) The weaknesses in internal accounting control over collections are:
(1) Each usher could take cash from the collection plates enroute to the
basement office.
(2) The head usher counts the cash alone.
(3) The head usher’s notation of the count is left in the safe.
(4) The financial secretary counts the cash alone.
(5) The financial secretary withholds $150 to $200 per week.
(6) The cash is vulnerable to robbery when kept in the safe overnight.
(7) Checks are made payable to “cash.”
(8) The financial secretary has custody of the cash, maintains church
records, and prepares the bank reconciliation.
(b) The improvements should include the following:
(1) The ushers should transfer their cash collections to a cash pouch
(or bag) held by the head usher. The transfer should be witnessed
by a member of the finance committee.
(2) The head usher and finance committee member should take the
cash to the office. The cash should be counted by the head usher and
the financial secretary in the presence of the finance committee
member.
(3) Following the count, the financial secretary should prepare a deposit
slip in duplicate for the total cash received, and the secretary should
immediately deposit the cash in the bank’s night deposit vault.
(4) At the end of each month, a member of the finance committee should
prepare the bank reconciliation.
(c) The policies that should be changed are:
(1) Members should make checks payable to the church.
(2) A petty cash fund should be established for the financial secretary to
be used for weekly cash expenditures and requests for replenishment of the fund should be sent to the chairperson of the finance
committee for approval.
(3) The financial secretary should be bonded.
(4) The financial secretary should be required to take an annual vacation.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Mr. Jerry Mays
Manhattan Company
Main Street, USA
Dear Mr. Mays:
During our audit of your financial statements, we reviewed the internal controls over cash receipts. The weaknesses we discovered and our suggested
improvements are listed below.
(a) Weaknesses
(b) Suggested Improvement
1.
A list of checks received is not
prepared by the person who opens
the mail.
This list should be prepared so that it
can later be compared with the daily
cash summary. While this procedure
does not assure that all checks will
be listed, it does allow the company
to verify that all checks on the list did
get deposited.
2.
Mail is opened by only one person.
When this occurs, there is no assurance
that all incoming checks are forwarded
to the cashier’s department.
3.
The cashier is allowed to open
the mail.
Under this arrangement, it is possible
for the cashier to open the mail, prepare the cash summary and make the
bank deposit. This involves no segregation of duties as the cashier controls
the cash from the time it is received
until it is deposited in the bank.
4.
The accounts receivable clerk is
allowed to open the mail.
Again, there is poor segregation of
duties. In this case, the clerk could
writeoff a customer’s account as uncollectible and then misappropriate the
collection when it’s received.
8-42
BYP 8-5 (Continued)
5.
(a) Weaknesses
(b) Suggested Improvement
Mail receipts are deposited weekly.
This makes the receipts vulnerable
to robbery and to misappropriation.
The receipts should be deposited
intact daily.
We would be pleased to discuss the weaknesses and our recommended
improvements with you, at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Croix, Marais, and Kale

ETHICS CASE
(a) You, as assistant controller, may suffer some negative effects from Gena
Schmitt, the financial vice-president, if you don’t follow her instructions.
Maybe the insurance company will react the way Gena suggests, but
probably not.
If you comply and falsify the June 30 cash balance by holding the cash
receipts book open for one day, you will suffer personally by sacrificing
your integrity. If you are found out, you could be prosecuted for preparing
a fraudulent report. The insurance company, as the lender and creditor, is
deceived.
(b) Holding the cash receipts book open in order to overstate the cash
balance is a fraudulent, deceitful, unethical action. The financial vicepresident should not encourage such behavior and a controller should
not follow such instructions.
(c) (1) You can follow the vice-president’s instructions and misstate the cash
balance—wrong! (2) You can advise the vice-president against holding the
books open, prepare an accurate report, and have the vice-president or
the president discuss the situation with the insurance company. It can
be explained that the low cash balance was only temporary. Honesty
is still the best policy.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
Accounts receivable are amounts owed by customers on account. They result from the sale of goods
and services in the normal course of business operations (i.e., in trade). Notes receivable represent
claims that are evidenced by formal instruments of credit.
2.
Other receivables include nontrade receivables such as interest receivable, loans to company officers,
advances to employees, and income taxes refundable.
3.
Accounts Receivable ...............................................................................................................
Interest Revenue .............................................................................................................
40

4.
The essential features of the allowance method of accounting for bad debts are:
(1) Uncollectible accounts receivable are estimated and matched against revenue in the same
accounting period in which the revenue occurred.
(2) Estimated uncollectibles are debited to Bad Debts Expense and credited to Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts through an adjusting entry at the end of each period.
(3) Actual uncollectibles are debited to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and credited to Accounts
Receivable at the time the specific account is written off.
5.
Jerry Gatewood should realize that the decrease in cash realizable value occurs when estimated
uncollectibles are recognized in an adjusting entry. The write-off of an uncollectible account reduces
both accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts by the same amount. Thus, cash
realizable value does not change.
6.
The two bases of estimating uncollectibles are: (1) percentage-of-sales and (2) percentage-ofreceivables. The percentage-of-sales basis establishes a percentage relationship between the amount
of credit sales and expected losses from uncollectible accounts. This method emphasizes the matching
of expenses with revenues. Under the percentage-of-receivables basis, the balance in the allowance
for doubtful accounts is derived from an analysis of individual customer accounts. This method
emphasizes cash realizable value.
7.
The adjusting entry under the percentage-of-sales basis is:
Bad Debts Expense ............................................................................................
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ............................................................
4,100
The adjusting entry under the percentage-of-receivables basis is:
Bad Debts Expense ............................................................................................
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts ($5,800 – $3,500)...........................
2,300
4,100

8.
Under the direct write-off method, bad debt losses are not estimated and no allowance account is used.
When an account is determined to be uncollectible, the loss is debited to Bad Debts Expense. The
direct write-off method makes no attempt to match bad debts expense to sales revenues or to show
the cash realizable value of the receivables in the balance sheet.
9.
From its own credit cards, the DeVito Company may realize financing charges from customers who do
not pay the balance due within a specified grace period. National credit cards offer the following
advantages:
(1) The credit card issuer makes the credit investigation of the customer.
(2) The issuer maintains individual customer accounts.
9-4
Questions Chapter 9 (Continued)
(3) The issuer undertakes the collection process and absorbs any losses from uncollectible accounts.
(4) The retailer receives cash more quickly from the credit card issuer than it would from individual
customers.
10.
The reasons companies are selling their receivables are:
(1) Receivables may be sold because they may be the only reasonable source of cash.
(2) Billing and collection are often time-consuming and costly. It is often easier for a retailer to sell
the receivables to another party with expertise in billing and collection matters.

A promissory note gives the holder a stronger legal claim than one on an accounts receivable. As a
result, it is easier to sell to another party. Promissory notes are negotiable instruments, which
means they can be transferred to another party by endorsement. The holder of a promissory note also
can earn interest.
13.
The maturity date of a promissory note may be stated in one of three ways: (1) on demand, (2) on
a stated date, and (3) at the end of a stated period of time.
14.
The maturity dates are: (a) March 13 of the next year, (b) August 4, (c) July 20, and (d) August 30.
15.
The missing amounts are: (a) $20,000, (b) $9,000, (c) 8%, and (d) four months.
16.
If a financial institution uses 360 days rather than 365 days, it will receive more interest revenue. The
reason is that the denominator is smaller, which makes the fraction larger and, therefore, the interest
revenue larger.
17.
When Cain Company dishonors a note, it may: (1) issue a new note for the maturity value of the
dishonored note, or (2) refuse to make any settlement, or (3) it might make partial payment and issue
a new note for the unpaid balance.
18.
Each of the major types of receivables should be identified in the balance sheet or in the notes to the
financial statements. Both the gross amount of receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts
should be reported. If collectible within a year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer, these
receivables are reported as current assets immediately below short-term investments.
19.
Net credit sales for the period are 8.14 X $400,000 = $3,256,000.

(e) If Wall Inc. used 3% of total accounts receivable rather than aging the
individual accounts the bad debt expense adjustment would be $19,250
[($375,000 X 3%) + $8,000]. The rest of the entries would be the same as
they were when aging the accounts receivable.
Aging the individual accounts rather than applying a percentage to the total
accounts receivable should produce a more accurate allowance account
and bad debts expense.

Establish more selective creditgranting policies, such as more
restrictive credit requirements or
more thorough credit investigations.
This policy could result in lost sales
and increased costs of credit
evaluation. The company may be all
but forced to adhere to the prevailing credit-granting policies of
the office equipment and supplies
industry.
Establish a more rigorous collection policy either through external
collection agencies or by its own
personnel.
This policy may offend current
customers and thus risk future
sales. Increased collection costs
could result from this policy.
Charge interest on overdue accounts.
Insist on cash on delivery (COD) or

This policy could result in lost sales

EXPLORING THE WEB
Benefits of Factoring Receivables
Factoring is a flexible financial solution that can help your business be
more competitive while improving your cash flow, credit rating, and
supplier discounts. Unlike traditional bank financing, factoring relies
on the financial strength and credit worthiness of your customers, not
you. You can use factoring services as much as you want or as little
as you want. There are no obligations, no minimums, and no maximums.
Here are the most common reasons businesses use factoring services:
Offer better terms to win more business. With factoring you can
attract more business by offering better terms on your invoices. Most
companies negotiate on price to win business in a competitive market, but with factoring you can negotiate with terms instead of price.
To your customers, better terms can be more attractive than better
prices. When using attractive terms to win business, you can build the
cost of factoring into your costs of goods and services.
Example: A new customer may choose to do business with your
company because you can offer NET 30 or NET 45 terms while your
competitor (who isn’t factoring) requires payment up front but has a
3% better price. If you factor the subsequent invoice at a discount of 3%,
you have leveraged factoring services to win the business at no extra
cost and improved your cash flow at the same time.
Improve cash flow without additional debt. Eliminate long billing cycles.
Receive cash for your outstanding invoices in 24 hours or less. No new
debt is created. Factoring is not a loan. This allows you to preserve your
financial leverage to take on new debt.
Customer Credit Services. Reduce bad debt expense, streamline credit
approvals for new customers, improve decision-making on new business, and reduce administrative costs.
9-37
BYP 9-3 (Continued)
Accounts Receivable Management. Reduce administrative costs, improve
customer relationships, improve receivable turns, improve accounting,
and redirect critical resources to marketing and production.
Flexibility. Factor as much as you want or as little as you want. You
decide. No obligations. No binding contracts. There are no minimums
and no maximums in the amount you can factor. Funding is based on
the strength of your customers.
(b)
Factoring fees are based on a per Diem Rate. The factor will assess
the risk of the particular situation and determine a discount rate. This
usually ranges from 3% to 9% of the gross invoices sold, and is the fee
for the duties the factor assumes and the cost of using their money.
The sooner a receivable is paid, the lower the discount rate.
(c)
Upon approval, the factor will advance the manufacturer 70%–90% of
the total value of their invoices. This percentage is called the Advance
Rate, and the cash is often delivered within 24 hours after an application
is received.
The rest of the cash minus the factor’s fees is then returned to the
manufacturer as the receivables are collected. If the manufacturer’s
customers pay slowly, the discount rates that apply grow accordingly
larger.

*The investment earnings on the cash tied up in accounts receivable is
an additional expense of continuing the existing credit policies.
(c) The analysis shows that the credit card fee of 4% of net credit sales will
be higher than the percentage cost of credit and collection expenses in
each year before considering the effect of earnings from other investment
opportunities. However, after considering investment earnings, the
credit card fee of 4% will be less than the company’s percentage cost if
annual net credit sales are less than $500,000.
9-39
BYP 9-4 (Continued)
Finally, the decision hinges on: (1) the accuracy of the estimate of investment earnings, (2) the expected trend in credit sales, and (3) the effect
the new policy will have on sales. Nonfinancial factors include the effects
on customer relationships of the alternative credit policies and whether
the Maynes want to continue with the problem of handling their own
accounts receivable.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Of course, this solution will differ from student to student. Important factors
to look for would be definitions of the methods, how they are similar and how
they differ. Also, use of good sentence structure, correct spelling, etc.
Example:
Dear Rene,
The three methods you asked about are methods of dealing with uncollectible
accounts receivable. Two of them, percentage-of-sales and percentage-ofreceivables, are “allowance” methods used to estimate the amount uncollectible.
Under the percentage-of-sales basis, management establishes a percentage
relationship between the amount of credit sales and expected losses from
uncollectible accounts. This is based on past experience and anticipated
credit policy. The percentage is then applied to either total credit sales or
net credit sales of the current year. This basis of estimating emphasizes the
matching of expenses with revenues.
Under the percentage-of-receivables basis, management establishes a percentage relationship between the amount of receivables and expected
losses from uncollectible accounts. Customer accounts are classified by the
length of time they have been unpaid. This basis emphasizes cash realizable
value of receivables and is therefore deemed a “balance sheet” approach.
The direct write-off method does not estimate losses and an allowance account
is not used. Instead, when an account is determined to be uncollectible, it is
written off directly to Bad Debts Expense. Unless bad debt losses are insignificant, this method is not acceptable for financial reporting purposes.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
The president of Ruiz Co.
The controller of Ruiz Co.
The stockholders.
(b) Yes. The controller is posed with an ethical dilemma—should he/she
follow the president’s “suggestion” and prepare misleading financial
statements (understated net income) or should he/she attempt to stand up
to and possibly anger the president by preparing a fair (realistic) income
statement.
(c) Ruiz Co.’s growth rate should be a product of fair and accurate financial
statements, not vice versa. That is, one should not prepare financial
statements with the objective of achieving or sustaining a predetermined
growth rate. The growth rate should be a product of management and
operating results, not of creative accounting.

Standard Costs and the Balanced Scorecard
Solutions to Questions

A quantity standard indicates how much
of an input should be used to make a unit of
output. A price standard indicates how much the
input should cost.
10-8
The materials price variance is usually
the responsibility of the purchasing manager.
The materials quantity and labor eff iciency variances are usually the responsibility of production
managers and supervisors.
10-2
I deal standards assume perfection and
do not allow for any ineff iciency. Thus, ideal
standards are rarely, if ever, attained. Practical
standards can be attained by employees working
at a reasonable, though eff icient pace and allow
for normal breaks and work interruptions.
10-3
Chronic inability to meet a standard is
likely to be demoralizing and may result in decreased productivity.
10-4
A budget is usually expressed in terms
of total dollars, whereas a standard is expressed
on a per unit basis. A standard might be viewed
as the budgeted cost for one unit.
10-5
A variance is the difference between
what was planned or expected and what was
actually accomplished. A standard cost system
has at least two types of variances. A price variance focuses on the difference between standard and actual prices. A quantity variance is
concerned with the difference between the
standard quantity of input allowed for the actual
output and the actual amount of the input used.
10-9
The materials price variance can be
computed either when materials are purchased
or when they are placed into production. I t is
usually better to compute the variance when
materials are purchased since that is when the
purchasing manager, who has responsibility for
this variance, has completed his or her work. I n
addition, recognizing the price variance when
materials are purchased allows the company to
carry its raw materials in the inventory accounts
at standard cost, which greatly simplif ies bookkeeping.
10-10 This combination of variances may indicate that inferior quality materials were purchased at a discounted price, but the low quality
materials created production problems.
10-11 I f standards are used to f ind who to
blame for problems, they can breed resentment
and undermine morale. Standards should not be
used to conduct witch-hunts, or as a means of
f inding someone to blame for problems.

Under management by exception, managers focus their attention on results that deviate from expectations. I t is assumed that results
that meet expectations do not require investigation.

Separating an overall variance into a
price variance and a quantity variance provides
more information. Moreover, price and quantity
variances are usually the responsibilities of different managers.
tual rate paid to workers can cause a labor rate
variance. For example, skilled workers with high
hourly rates of pay can be given duties that require little skill and that call for low hourly rates
of pay, resulting in an unfavorable rate variance.
Or unskilled or untrained workers can be assigned to tasks that should be f illed by more
skilled workers with higher rates of pay, resulting in a favorable rate variance. Unfavorable rate
variances can also arise from overtime work at
premium rates.

are set on the control chart. Any variances falling between those limits are considered to be
normal. Any variances falling outside of those
limits are considered abnormal and are investigated.
10-19 The difference between the delivery cycle time and the throughput time is the waiting
period between when an order is received and
when production on the order is started. The
throughput time is made up of process time,
inspection time, move time, and queue time.
These four elements can be classif ied between
value-added time (process time) and non-valueadded time (inspection time, move time, and
queue time).

labor eff iciency variances is for every workstation to produce at capacity. However, the
output of the entire system is limited by the capacity of the bottleneck. I f workstations before
the bottleneck in the production process produce at capacity, the bottleneck will be unable to
process all of the work in process. I n general, if
every workstation is attempting to produce at
capacity, then work in process inventory will
build up in front of the workstations with the
least capacity.

time. An MCE of 0.40, for example, means that
40% of throughput time consists of actual processing, and that the other 60% consists of moving, inspection, and other non-value-added activities.

Exercise 10-5 (45 minutes)
1. MPC’s previous manufacturing strategy was focused on high-volume
production of a limited range of paper grades. The goal of this strategy
was to keep the machines running constantly to maximize the number
of tons produced. Changeovers were avoided because they lowered
equipment utilization. Maximizing tons produced and minimizing
changeovers helped spread the high fixed costs of paper manufacturing
across more units of output. The new manufacturing strategy is focused
on low-volume production of a wide range of products. The goals of this
strategy are to increase the number of paper grades manufactured, decrease changeover times, and increase yields across non-standard
grades. While MPC realizes that its new strategy will decrease its equipment utilization, it will still strive to optimize the utilization of its high
fixed cost resources within the confines of flexible production. I n an
economist’s terms the old strategy focused on economies of scale while
the new strategy focuses on economies of scope.
2. Employees focus on improving those measures that are used to evaluate
their performance. Therefore, strategically-aligned performance measures will channel employee effort towards improving those aspects of
performance that are most important to obtaining strategic objectives. I f
a company changes its strategy but continues to evaluate employee performance using measures that do not support the new strategy, it will
be motivating its employees to make decisions that promote the old
strategy, not the new strategy. And if employees make decisions that
promote the new strategy, their performance measures will suffer.
Some performance measures that would be appropriate for MPC’s old
strategy include: equipment utilization percentage, number of tons of
paper produced, and cost per ton produced. These performance measures would not support MPC’s new strategy because they would discourage increasing the range of paper grades produced, increasing the
number of changeovers performed, and decreasing the batch size produced per run.

Exercise 10-5 (continued)
4. The hypotheses underlying the balanced scorecard are indicated by the
arrows in the diagram. Reading from the bottom of the balanced scorecard, the hypotheses are:
° I f the number of employees trained to support t he flexibility strategy
increases, then the average changeover time will decrease and the
number of different paper grades produced and the average manufacturing yield will increase.
° I f the average change-over time decreases, then the time to fill an
order will decrease.
° I f the number of different paper grades produce d increases, then the
customer satisfaction with breadth of product offerings will increase.
° I f the average manufacturing yield increases, t hen the contribution
margin per ton will increase.
° I f the time to fill an order decreases, then th e number of new customers acquired, sales, and the contribution margin per ton will increase.
° I f the customer satisfaction with breadth of pr oduct offerings increases, then the number of new customers acquired, sales, and the
contribution margin per ton will increase.
° I f the number of new customers acquired increas es, then sales will
increase.
Each of these hypotheses is questionable to some degree. For example,
the time to fill an order is a function of additional factors above and beyond changeover times. Thus, MPC’s average changeover time could
decrease while its time to fill an order increases if, for example, the
shipping department proves to be incapable of efficiently handling
greater product diversity, smaller batch sizes, and more frequent shipments. The fact that each of the hypotheses mentioned above can be
questioned does not invalidate the balanced scorecard. I f the scorecard
is used correctly, management will be able to identify which, if any, of
the hypotheses are invalid and modify the balanced scorecard accordingly.

Exercise 10-9 (continued)
2. A variance usually has many possible explanations. I n particular, we
should always keep in mind that the standards themselves may be incorrect. Some of the other possible explanations for the variances observed at Dawson Toys appear below:
Materials Price Variance Since this variance is favorable, the actual price
paid per unit for the material was less than the standard price. This could
occur for a variety of reasons including the purchase of a lower grade material at a discount, buying in an unusually large quantity to take advantage of quantity discounts, a change in the market price of the material,
or particularly sharp bargaining by the purchasing department.
Materials Quantity Variance Since this variance is unfavorable, more materials were used to produce the actual output than were called for by the
standard. This could also occur for a variety of reasons. Some of the possibilities include poorly trained or supervised workers, improperly adjusted
machines, and defective materials.
Labor Rate Variance Since this variance is unfavorable, the actual average wage rate was higher than the standard wage rate. Some of the possible explanations include an increase in wages that has not been reflected in the standards, unanticipated overtime, and a shift toward more
highly paid workers.
Labor Eff iciency Variance Since this variance is unfavorable, the actual
number of labor hours was greater than the standard labor hours allowed
for the actual output. As with the other variances, this variance could have
been caused by any of a number of factors. Some of the possible explanations include poor supervision, poorly trained workers, low quality materials requiring more labor time to process, and machine breakdowns. In
addition, if the direct labor force is essentially f ixed, an unfavorable labor
eff iciency variance could be caused by a reduction in output due to decreased demand for the company’s products.
I t is worth noting that all of these variances could have been caused by
the purchase of low quality materials at a cut-rate price.

arrows in the diagram. Reading from the bottom of the balanced scorecard, the hypotheses are:
° I f the amount of compensation paid above the in dustry average increases, then the percentage of job offers accepted and the level of
employee morale will increase.
° I f the average number of years to be promoted d ecreases, then the
percentage of job offers accepted and the level of employee morale
will increase.
° I f the percentage of job offers accepted increa ses, then the ratio of
billable hours to total hours should increase while the average number of errors per tax return and the average time needed to prepare
a return should decrease.
° I f employee morale increases, then the ratio of billable hours to total
hours should increase while the average number of errors per tax return and the average time needed to prepare a return should decrease.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Exercise 10-14 (continued)
Each of these hypotheses is questionable to some degree. For example,
Ariel’s customers may define effectiveness as a function of minimizing
their tax liability which is not necessarily the same as minimizing the
number of errors in a tax return. I f some of Ariel’s customers became
aware through a knowledgeable third party that Ariel overlooked legal
tax minimizing opportunities, it is likely that the “customer satisfaction
with effectiveness” measure would decline. This decline would probably
puzzle Ariel because, although the firm prepared what it believed to be
error-free returns, it overlooked important tax minimization strategies.
I n this example, Ariel’s internal business process measure related to the
average number of errors per tax return does not capture all of the factors that drive the customers’ satisfaction with effectiveness. The fact
that each of the hypotheses mentioned above can be questioned does
not invalidate the balanced scorecard. I f the scorecard is used correctly,
management will be able to identify which, if any, of the hypotheses are
invalid and then modify the balanced scorecard accordingly.
3. The performance measure “total dollar amount of tax refunds generated” would motivate Ariel’s employees to aggressively search for tax
minimization opportunities for its clients. However, employees may be
too aggressive and recommend questionable or illegal tax practices to
clients. This undesirable behavior could generate unfavorable publicity
and lead to major problems for the company as well as its customers.
Overall, it would probably be unwise to use this performance measure in
Ariel’s scorecard.
However, if Ariel wanted to create a scorecard measure to capture this
aspect of its client service responsibilities, it may make sense to focus
the performance measure on its training process. Properly trained employees are more likely to recognize viable tax minimization opportunities.

4. Each office’s individual performance should be based on the scorecard
measures only if the measures are controllable by those employed at
the branch offices. I n other words, it would not make sense to attempt
to hold branch office managers responsible for measures such as the
percent of job offers accepted or the amount of compensation paid
above industry average. Recruiting and compensation decisions are not
typically made at the branch offices. On the other hand, it would make
sense to measure the branch offices with respect to internal business
process, customer, and financial performance. Gathering this type of
data would be useful for evaluating the performance of employees at
each office.

Problem 10-16 (continued)
b. The policy probably should not be continued. Although the hospital is
saving $2 per hour by employing more assistants than senior technicians, this savings is more than offset by other factors. Too much
time is being taken in performing lab tests, as indicated by the large
unfavorable labor eff iciency variance. And, it seems likely that most
(or all) of the hospital’s unfavorable quantity variance for plates is
traceable to inadequate supervision of assistants in the lab.

Alternative Solution:
Variable overhead spending variance = AH (AR – SR)
1,150 hours ($6.80 per hour* – $6.00 per hour) = $920 U
* $7,820 ÷ 1,150 hours = $6.80 per hour
Variable overhead eff iciency variance = SR (AH – SH)
$6.00 per hour (1,150 hours – 900 hours) = $1,500 U
Yes, the two variances are closely related. Both are computed by comparing actual labor time to the standard hours allowed for the output of
the period. Thus, if the labor eff iciency variance is favorable (or unfavorable), then the variable overhead eff iciency variance will also be favorable (or unfavorable).

* 3,750 units × 2.5 ounces per unit = 9,375 ounces
Alternatively:
Materials price variance = AQ (AP – SP)
12,000 ounces ($18.75 per ounce* – $20.00 per ounce) = $15,000 F
* $225,000 ÷ 12,000 ounces = $18.75 per ounce
Materials quantity variance = SP (AQ – SQ)
$20.00 per ounce (9,500 ounces – 9,375 ounces) = $2,500 U
b. Yes, the contract probably should be signed. The new price of $18.75
per ounce is substantially lower than the old price of $20.00 per
ounce, resulting in a favorable price variance of $15,000 for the
month. Moreover, the material from the new supplier appears to
cause little or no problem in production as shown by the small materials quantity variance for the month.

b. No, the new labor mix probably should not be continued. Although it
decreases the average hourly labor cost from $12.50 to $12.00,
thereby causing a $2,800 favorable labor rate variance, this savings is
more than offset by a large unfavorable labor eff iciency variance for
the month. Thus, the new labor mix increases overall labor costs.

Both the labor eff iciency variance and the variable overhead eff iciency
variance are computed by comparing actual labor-hours to standard labor-hours. Thus, if the labor eff iciency variance is unfavorable, then the
variable overhead eff iciency variance will be unfavorable as well.

4. No. He is not correct in his statement. The company has a large, unfavorable materials quantity variance that should be investigated. Also, the
overhead spending variance equals 10% of standard, which should also
be investigated.
I t appears that the company’s strategy to increase output by giving
raises was effective. Although the raises resulted in an unfavorable rate
variance, this variance was more than offset by a large, favorable eff iciency variance.

5. The variances have many possible causes. Some of the more likely
causes include the following:
Materials variances:
Favorable price variance: Fortunate purchase, inferior quality materials,
unusual discount due to quantity purchased, drop in market price, less
costly method of freight, outdated or inaccurate standards.
Unfavorable quantity variance: Carelessness, poorly adjusted machines,
unskilled workers, inferior quality materials, outdated or inaccurate standards.
Labor variances:
Unfavorable rate variance: Use of highly skilled workers, change in pay
scale, overtime, outdated or inaccurate standards.
Favorable eff iciency variance: Use of highly skilled workers, high quality
materials, new equipment, outdated or inaccurate standards.
Variable overhead variances:
Unfavorable spending variance: I ncrease in costs, waste, theft, spillage,
purchases in uneconomical lots, outdated or inaccurate standards.
Favorable eff iciency variance: Same as for labor eff iciency variance.

1. Both companies view training as important; both companies need to
leverage technology to succeed in the marketplace; and both companies
are concerned with minimizing defects. There are numerous differences
between the two companies. For example, Applied Pharmaceuticals is a
product-focused company and Destination Resorts I nternational (DRI ) is
a service-focused company. Applied Pharmaceuticals’ training resources
are focused on their engineers because they hold the key to the success
of the organization. DRI ’s training resources are focused on their frontline employees because they hold the key to the success of their organization. Applied Pharmaceuticals’ technology investments are focused on
supporting the innovation that is inherent in the product development
side of the business. DRI ’s technology investments are focused on supporting the day-to-day execution that is inherent in the customer interface side of the business. Applied Pharmaceuticals defines a defect from
an internal manufacturing standpoint, while DRI defines a defect from
an external customer interaction standpoint.

Problem 10-20 (continued)
Each of these hypotheses is questionable to some degree. For example,
in the case of Applied Pharmaceuticals, R&D yield is not the sole driver
of the customers’ perception of first-to-market capability. More specifically, if Applied Pharmaceuticals experimented with nine possible drug
compounds in year one and three of those compounds proved to be
successful in the marketplace it would result in an R&D yield of 33% . I f
in year two, it experimented with four possible drug compounds and
two of those compounds proved to be successful in the marketplace it
would result in an R&D yield of 50% . While the R&D yield has increased
from year one to year two, it is quite possible that the customer’s perception of first-to-market capability would decrease. The fact that each
of the hypotheses mentioned above can be questioned does not invalidate the balanced scorecard. I f the scorecard is used correctly, management will be able to identify which, if any, of the hypotheses are invalid and the balanced scorecard can then be appropriately modified.

Problem 10-23 (continued)
5. Some supervisors and managers rarely deal with, or think in terms of,
dollars in their daily work. I nstead they think in terms of hours, units,
eff iciency, and so on. For these managers, it may be better to express
quantity variances in units (hours, yards, etc.) rather than in dollars. For
other managers, quantity variances expressed in terms of dollars may
be more useful—particularly to convey a notion of the materiality of the
variance. I n some cases, managers may prefer that the variances be
expressed in terms of both dollars and units.
On the other hand, price variances expressed in units (hours, yards)
would make little sense. Such variances should always be expressed in
dollars.

2. a. Before the variances can be computed, we must first determine the
actual direct labor hours worked for last year. This can be done
through the variable overhead efficiency variance, as follows:
Variable overhead eff iciency variance = SR (AH – SH)
$1.30 per hour × (AH – 16,000 hours* ) = $650 U
$1.30 per hour × AH – $20,800 = $650* *
$1.30 per hour × AH = $21,450
AH = $21,450 ÷ $1.30 per hour
AH = 16,500 hours
* 8,000 units × 2.0 hours per unit = 16,000 hours
* * When used in the formula, an unfavorable variance is positive.
We must also compute the standard rate per direct labor hour. The
computation is:
Labor rate variance = (AH × AR) – (AH × SR)
$79,200 – (16,500 hours × SR) = $3,300 F
$79,200 – 16,500 hours × SR = –$3,300*
16,500 hours × SR = $82,500
SR = $82,500 ÷ 16,500 hours
SR = $5.00 per hour
* When used in the formula, a favorable variance is negative.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Problem 10-27 (continued)
No, the labor eff iciency variance is not appropriate as a measure of performance in this situation. The reasons are:
•
Labor is largely a fixed cost rather than a variable cost since the
company maintains a stable workforce to operate its flow line. Thus,
the variance is not an effective measure of efficiency.
•
I n a JI T environment the goal is to produce onlyas needed to meet
demand. This often conflicts with the goal of having high labor eff iciency, which requires that labor be fully utilized producing output. I f
that output is not really demanded by customers, the result of fully
utilizing labor is a buildup of excess work in process and f inished
goods inventories. This is anathema in a JI T environment. Unfortunately, the situation posed in the problem is a common one as companies switch from a traditional system to JI T, and sometimes JI T
doesn’t work because of misplaced emphasis on eff iciency variances.
I n a JI T setting, it is an interesting paradox that one of the “costs” of
greater eff iciency on the production line is greater “ineff iciency” on
the part of labor as it is occasionally idle or as it spends time at various tasks other than producing goods.

$2.80 per hour (90,000 hours – 75,000 hours) = $42,000 U
I t is doubtful that a correlation still exists between direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead cost. Direct labor time is now largely a
f ixed cost. Variable manufacturing overhead, however, will tend to rise
and fall with actual changes in production. I f variable manufacturing
overhead cost was indeed correlated with direct labor, then the actual
variable manufacturing overhead cost for June should have been about
$252,000 (90,000 hours × $2.80 per hour). But actual variable manufacturing overhead cost was far below this f igure, as shown by the large
favorable spending variance for the month. I ndeed, the actual variable
manufacturing overhead cost of $207,000 is very near the $210,000
standard cost allowed for the month’s output. Thus, it appears that as
production has been cut back, variable manufacturing overhead cost has
also decreased, even though direct labor time has remained quite stable.

Note that the manufacturing cycle eff iciency has improved dramatically
over the last three months. This means that non-value-added time is being eliminated.
5. Under JI T the goal of the company is to produce to meet demand rather
than to just f ill labor time. Thus, the traditional labor variances are often
unfavorable. Throughput time and MCE focus on all elements of manufacturing—not just labor time. These other elements, which are independent of labor time, are showing greater eff iciency each month as the
company eliminates non-value-added activities.
Throughput time and MCE are more appropriate in this situation since
they focus on those elements that are of greatest importance in a JI T
environment. The labor eff iciency variance has little or no signif icance in
such an environment.

2. The hypotheses underlying the balanced scorecard are indicated by the
arrows in the diagram. Reading from the bottom of the balanced scorecard, the hypotheses are:
o I f the percentage of dining room staff who complete the basic hospitality course increases, then the average time to take an order will
decrease.
o I f the percentage of dining room staff who complete the basic hospitality course increases, then dining room cleanliness will improve.
o I f the percentage of kitchen staff who complete the basic cooking
course increases, then the average time to prepare an order will decrease.
o I f the percentage of kitchen staff who complete the basic cooking
course increases, then the number of menu items will increase.
o I f the dining room cleanliness improves, then customer satisfaction
with service will increase.
o I f the average time to take an order decreases, then customer satisfaction with service will increase.
o I f the average time to prepare an order decreases, then customer
satisfaction with service will increase.
o I f the number of menu items increases, then customer satisfaction
with menu choices will increase.
o I f customer satisfaction with service increases, weekly sales will increase.
o I f customer satisfaction with menu choices increases, weekly sales
will increase.
o I f sales increase, weekly profits for the Lodge will increase.
Each of these hypotheses is questionable to some degree. For example,
the items added to the menu may not appeal to customers. So even if
the number of menu items increases, customer satisfaction with the
menu choices may not increase. The fact that each of the hypotheses
can be questioned does not, however, invalidate the balanced scorecard. I f the scorecard is used correctly, management will be able to
identify which, if any, of the hypotheses are incorrect. [ See below.]

even though it really isn’t. This is one of the reasons for a balanced scorecard . By having a number of different measures that ultimately are linked
to overall f inancial goals, “gaming” the system is more diff icult.
1. Speed-to-market can be improved by taking on less ambitious projects.
I nstead of working on major product innovations that require a great
deal of time and effort, R&D may choose to work on small, incremental
improvements in existing products. There is also a danger that in the
rush to push products out the door, the products will be inadequately
tested and developed.
2. Performance measures that are ratios or percentages present special
dangers. A ratio can be increased either by increasing the numerator or
by decreasing the denominator. Usually, the intention is to increase the
numerator in the ratio, but a manager may react by decreasing the denominator instead. I n this case (which actually happened), the managers pulled telephones out of the high-crime areas. This eliminated the
problem for the managers, but was not what the CEO or the city off icials had intended. They wanted the phones f ixed, not eliminated.
3. I n real life, the production manager simply added several weeks to the
delivery cycle time. I n other words, instead of promising to deliver an
order in four weeks, the manager promised to deliver in six weeks. This
increase in delivery cycle time did not, of course, please customers and
drove some business away, but it dramatically improved the percentage
of orders delivered on time.

Problem 10-29 (continued)
4. As stated above, ratios can be improved by changing either the numerator or the denominator. Managers who are under pressure to increase
the revenue per employee may f ind it easier to eliminate employees
than to increase revenues. Of course, eliminating employees may reduce
total revenues and total prof its, but the revenue per employee will increase as long as the percentage decline in revenues is less than the
percentage cut in number of employees. Suppose, for example, that a
manager is responsible for business units with a total of 1,000 employees, $120 million in revenues, and prof its of $2 million. Further suppose
that a manager can eliminate one of these business units that has 200
employees, revenues of $10 million, and prof its of $1.2 million.

emphasis on any one performance measure.

2. a. Areas where the company is improving:
Quality control. The number of defects has decreased by over 50% in
the last four months. Moreover, both warranty claims and customer
complaints are down sharply. I n short, overall quality appears to have
signif icantly improved.
Material control. The purchase order lead time is only half of what it
was four months ago, which indicates that purchases are arriving in
less time. This trend may be a result of the company’s move toward
JI T purchasing.
Delivery performance. The process time has decreased from 2.1 days
to 1.8 days over the last four months.

b. Areas of deterioration:
Material control. Scrap as a percentage of total cost has tripled over
the last four months.
Machine performance. Machine downtime has doubled over the last
four months. This may be a result of the greater setup time, or it may
just reflect efforts to get the new equipment operating properly. Also
note that use of the machines as a percentage of availability is declining rapidly. The use of the machines may be declining as a consequence of the shift to JI T. Machines may be utilized less because they
are not being used to build excess inventories.
Delivery performance. All delivery performance measures are moving
in the wrong direction. Throughput time and delivery cycle time are
both increasing, and the manufacturing cycle eff iciency is decreasing.

2. a. I n general, the purchasing manager is held responsible for unfavorable material price variances. Causes of these variances include the
following:
•
I ncorrect standards.
•
Failure to correctly forecast price increases.
•
Purchasing in nonstandard or uneconomical lots.
•
Failure to take available purchase discounts.
•
Failure to control transportation costs.
•
Purchasing from suppliers other than those offering the most favorable terms.
However, failure to meet price standards may be caused by a rush of
orders or changes in production schedules. I n this case, the responsibility for unfavorable material price variances should rest with the
sales manager or the manager of production planning. Variances may
also be caused by external events that are uncontrollable, e.g., a
strike at a supplier’s plant.

Case 10-33 (continued)
A number of the performance measures suggested by managers have
not been included in the above balanced scorecard. The excluded performance measures may have an impact on total profit, but they are not
linked in any obvious way with the two key problems that have been
identified by management—accounts receivables and unsold inventory.
I f every performance measure that potentially impacts profit is included
in a company’s balanced scorecard, it would become unwieldy and focus
would be lost.
2. The results of operations can be exploited for information about the
company’s strategy. Each link in the balanced scorecard should be regarded as a hypothesis of the form “I f ..., then ...”. For example, the
balanced scorecard on the previous page contains the hypothesis “I f
customers express greater satisfaction with the accuracy of their charge
account bills, then the average age of accounts receivable will improve.”
I f customers in fact do express greater satisfaction with the accuracy of
their charge account bills, but the average age of accounts receivable
does not improve, this would have to be considered evidence that is inconsistent with the hypothesis. Management should try to figure out
why the average age of receivables has not improved. (See the answer
below for possible explanations.) The answer may suggest a shift in
strategy.
I n general, the most important results are those that provide evidence
inconsistent with the hypotheses embedded in the balanced scorecard.
Such evidence suggests that the company’s strategy needs to be reexamined.

Solutions Manual, Chapter 10
629
Case 10-33 (continued)
3. a. This evidence is inconsistent with two of the hypotheses underlying
the balanced scorecard. The first of these hypotheses is “I f customers
express greater satisfaction with the accuracy of their charge account
bills, then the average age of accounts receivable will improve.” The
second of these hypotheses is “I f customers express greater satisfaction with the accuracy of their charge account bills, then there will be
improvement in bad debts.” There are a number of possible explanations. Two possibilities are that the company’s collection efforts are
ineffective and that the company’s credit reviews are not working
properly. I n other words, the problem may not be incorrect charge
account bills at all. The problem may be that the procedures for collecting overdue accounts are not working properly. Or, the problem
may be that the procedures for reviewing credit card applications let
through too many poor credit risks. I f so, this would suggest that efforts should be shifted from reducing charge account billing errors to
improving the internal business processes dealing with collections and
credit screening. And in that case, the balanced scorecard should be
modified.
b. This evidence is inconsistent with three hypotheses. The first of these
is “I f the average age of receivables declines, then profits will increase.” The second hypothesis is “I f the written-off accounts receivable decrease as a percentage of sales, then profits will increase.”
The third hypothesis is “I f unsold inventory at the end of the season
as a percentage of cost of sales declines, then profits will increase.”
Again, there are a number of possible explanations for the lack of results consistent with the hypotheses. Managers may have decreased
the average age of receivables by simply writing off old accounts earlier than was done previously. This would actually decrease reported
profits in the short term. Bad debts as a percentage of sales could be
decreased by drastically cutting back on extensions of credit to customers—perhaps even canceling some charge accounts. (Bad debts
would be zero if there were no credit sales.) This would have the effect of reducing bad debts, but might irritate otherwise loyal credit
customers and reduce sales and profits.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 10-33 (continued)
The reduction in unsold inventories at the end of the season as a
percentage of cost of sales could have occurred for a number of reasons that are not necessarily good for profits. For example, managers
may have been too cautious about ordering goods to restock low inventories—creating stockouts and lost sales. Or, managers may have
cut prices drastically on excess inventories in order to eliminate them
before the end of the season. This may have reduced the willingness
of customers to pay the store’s normal prices. Or, managers may
have gotten rid of excess inventories by selling them to discounters
before the end of the season.

Case 10-34 (30 minutes)
This case may be diff icult for some students to grasp since it requires looking at standard costs from an entirely different perspective. I n this case,
standard costs have been inappropriately used as a means to manipulate
reported earnings rather than as a way to control costs.
1. Lansing has evidently set very loose standards in which the standard
prices and standard quantities are far too high. This guarantees that favorable variances will ordinarily result from operations. I f the standard
costs are set artif icially high, the standard cost of goods sold will be artif icially high and thus the division’s net operating income will be depressed until the favorable variances are recognized. I f Lansing saves
the favorable variances, he can release just enough in the second and
third quarters to show some improvement and then he can release all of
the rest in the last quarter, creating the annual “Christmas present.”
2. Lansing should not be permitted to continue this practice for several
reasons. First, it distorts the quarterly earnings for both the division and
the company. The distortions of the division’s quarterly earnings are
troubling because the manipulations may mask real signs of trouble. The
distortions of the company’s quarterly earnings are troubling because
they may mislead external users of the f inancial statements. Second,
Lansing should not be rewarded for manipulating earnings. This sets a
moral tone in the company that is likely to lead to even deeper trouble.
I ndeed, the permissive attitude of top management toward the manipulation of earnings may indicate the existence of other, even more serious, ethical problems in the company. Third, a clear message should be
sent to division managers like Lansing that their job is to manage their
operations, not their earnings. I f they keep on top of operations and
manage well, the earnings should take care of themselves.

Case 10-34 (continued)
3. Stacy Cummins does not have any easy alternatives available. She has
already taken the problem to the President, who was not interested. I f
she goes around the President to the Board of Directors, she will be putting herself in a politically diff icult position with little likelihood that it will
do much good if, in fact, the Board of Directors already knows what is
going on.
On the other hand, if she simply goes along, she will be violating the
“Objectivity” standard of ethical conduct for management accountants.
The Home Security Division’s manipulation of quarterly earnings does
distort the entire company’s quarterly reports. And the Objectivity standard clearly stipulates that “management accountants have a responsibility to disclose fully all relevant information that could reasonably be
expected to influence an intended user’s understanding of the reports,
comments, and recommendations presented.” Apart from the ethical issue, there is also a very practical consideration. I f Merced Home Products becomes embroiled in controversy concerning questionable accounting practices, Stacy Cummins will be viewed as a responsible party
by outsiders and her career is likely to suffer dramatically and she may
even face legal problems.
We would suggest that Ms. Cummins quietly bring the manipulation of
earnings to the attention of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, carefully laying out in a non-confrontational manner the problems
created by Lansing’s practice of manipulating earnings. I f the President
and the Board of Directors are still not interested in dealing with the
problem, she may reasonably conclude that the best alternative is to
start looking for another job.

Case 10-36 (30 minutes)
1. Based on the conversation between Terry Travers and Sally Christensen,
it seems likely that their motivation would be stifled by the variance reporting system at Aurora Manufacturing Company. Their behavior may
include any of the following:
•
Suboptimization, a condition in which individual managers disregard
major company goals and focus their attention solely on their own
division’s activities.
•
Frustration from untimely reports and formats that are not useful in
their daily activities.
2. a. The benef its that can be derived by both the company and its employees from a properly implemented variance reporting system include the following:
•
Variance analysis can provide standards and measures for incentive
and performance evaluation programs.
•
Variance reporting can emphasize teamwork and interdepartmental
dependence.
•
Timely reporting provides useful feedback, helpsto identify problems,
and aids in solving these problems. Responsibility can be assigned for
the resolution of problems.
b. Aurora Manufacturing Company could improve its variance reporting
system, so as to increase employee motivation, by implementing the
following:
•
I ntroduce a flexible budgeting system that relates actual expenditures to actual levels of production on a monthly basis. I n addition,
the budgeting process should be participative rather than imposed.
•
Only those costs that are controllable by managers should be included in the variance analysis.
•
Distribute reports on a timelier basis to allow quick resolution of
problems.
•
Reports should be stated in terms that are most understandable to
the users, i.e., units of output, hours, etc.

Flexible Budgets and Overhead Analysis
Solutions to Questions
11-1
A static budget is a budget prepared for
a single level of activity that remains unchanged
even if the activity level subsequently changes.
11-2
A flexible budget can be adjusted to
reflect any level of activity. By contrast, a static
budget is prepared for a single level of activity
and is not subsequently adjusted.
11-3
Criteria for choosing an activity base:
1. The activity base and overhead cost
should be causally related.
2. The activity base should not be expressed
in dollars.
3. The activity base should be simple and
easy to understand.
11-7
The overhead eff iciency variance does
not really measure eff iciency in the use of overhead. I t actually measures eff iciency in the use
of the base underlying the flexible budget. This
base could be direct labor-hours, machinehours, or some other measure of activity.
11-8
A flexible budget provides the cost and
activity data needed to compute the predetermined overhead rate, which is used in product
costing.
11-9
The denominator level of activity is the
denominator in the predetermined overhead
rate.
11-10 A normal costing system was used in
11-4
I f the flexible budget is based on actual
hours worked, then only a spending variance will
be produced on the performance report. Both a
spending and an eff iciency variance will be produced if the flexible budget is based on both
actual hours and standard hours.
Chapter 3, whereas in Chapter 11 a standard
cost system is used. Standard costing ensures
that the same amount of overhead is applied to
a product regardless of the actual amount of the
application base (such as machine-hours or direct labor-hours) that is used during a period.

Standard hours allowed means the time
that should have been taken to complete the
actual output of the period.

The materials price variance consists
entirely of differences in price paid from standard. The variable overhead spending variance
consists of two elements. One element is like a
price variance and results from differences between actual and standard prices for variable
overhead inputs. The other element is like a
quantity variance and results from differences
between the amount of variable overhead inputs
that should have been used and the amounts
that were actually used. Ordinarily these two
elements are not separated.
variance and a volume variance are computed
for f ixed manufacturing overhead cost.
the difference between total budgeted f ixed
overhead cost and the total amount of f ixed
overhead cost incurred. I f actual costs exceed
budgeted costs, the variance is labeled unfavorable.
11-13 The volume variance is favorable when
the activity level for a period, at standard, is
greater than the denominator activity level.
Conversely, if the activity level, at standard, is
less than the denominator level of activity, the
volume variance is unfavorable. The variance
does not measure deviations in spending. I t

measures deviations in actual activity from the
denominator level of activity.
11-14 I f f ixed costs are expressed on a per
unit basis, managers may be misled into thinking that they are really variable. This can lead to
faulty predictions concerning cost behavior and
to bad decisions and erroneous performance
evaluations.
11-15 Under- or overapplied overhead can be
factored into variable overhead spending and
eff iciency variances and the f ixed overhead
budget and volume variances.
11-16 The total of the overhead variances
would be favorable, since overapplied overhead
is equivalent to a favorable variance.

2. The addition of a new boat to the charter fleet apparently increased depreciation and moorage
charges for the month above what had been anticipated. (A new boat adds to depreciation charges
and a new boat needs to be moored, hence the higher moorage charges.) These two items are responsible for most of the $1,355 unfavorable total variance for the month.

Students may question the variances for fixed costs. Operator wages can
differ from what was budgeted for a variety of reasons including an unanticipated increase in the wage rate; changes in the mix of workers between
those earning lower and higher wages; changes in the number of operators
on duty; and overtime. Depreciation may have increased because of the
acquisition of new equipment or because of a loss on equipment that must
be scrapped—perhaps due to poor maintenance. (This assumes that the
loss flows through the depreciation account on the performance report.)

2. Favorable variances can be as much a matter of concern as unfavorable
variances. I n particular, the favorable maintenance variance should be
investigated. I s scheduled preventative maintenance being carried out?
I n terms of percentage deviation from budgeted allowances, the rework
time variance is even more signif icant (equal to 15% of the budget allowance). This unfavorable rework time variance may be a result of poor
maintenance of machines. Some may say that if the two variances are
related, then the trade-off is a good one, since the savings in maintenance cost is greater than the added cost of rework time. But this is
shortsighted reasoning. Poor maintenance can reduce the life of equipment, as well as decrease overall output, thereby costing far more in the
long run than any short-run savings.

2. The overall variance is favorable and none of the unfavorable variances
is particularly large. Nevertheless, the large favorable variance for lab
tests is worrisome. Perhaps the blood bank has not been doing all of the
lab tests for HI V, hepatitis, and other blood-transmittable diseases that
it should be doing. This is well worth investigating; favorable variances
may warrant attention as much as unfavorable variances.
Some may wonder why depreciation has a variance. Fixed costs can
change; they just don’t vary with the level of activity. Depreciation may
have increased because of the acquisition of new equipment or because
of a loss on equipment that must be scrapped. (This assumes that the
loss flows through the depreciation account on the performance report.)

64,000 feet ($8.55 per foot – $8.45 per foot) = $6,400 U
Materials quantity variance = SP (AQ – SQ)
$8.45 per foot (64,000 feet – 60,000 feet* ) = $33,800 U

Note that the total of the variances agrees with the $18,300 variance
mentioned by the president.
I t appears that not everyone should be given a bonus for good cost control. The materials quantity variance and the labor eff iciency variance
are 6.7% and 3.6% , respectively, of the standard cost allowed and thus
would warrant investigation.
The company’s large unfavorable variances (for materials quantity and
labor eff iciency) do not show up more clearly because they are offset for
the most part by the favorable volume variance. This favorable volume
variance is a result of the company operating at an activity level that is
well above the denominator activity level used to set predetermined
overhead rates. (The company operated at an activity level of 42,000
standard hours; the denominator activity level set at the beginning of
the year was 35,000 hours.) As a result of the large favorable volume
variance, the unfavorable quantity and eff iciency variances have been
concealed in a small “net” f igure. The large favorable volume variance
may have been achieved by building up inventories.

4. The choice of a denominator activity level affects standard unit costs in
that the higher the denominator activity level chosen, the lower standard unit costs will be. The reason is that the f ixed portion of overhead
costs is spread over more units as the denominator activity rises.
The volume variance cannot be controlled by controlling spending. The
volume variance simply reflects whether actual activity was greater than
or less than the denominator activity. Thus, the volume variance is controllable only through activity.

Problem 11-20 (30 minutes)
1. The reports as presently prepared are of little use to the company. The
problem is that the company is using a static budget to compare budgeted performance at one level of activity to actual performance at another level of activity. Although the reports do a good job of showing
whether or not the budgeted level of activity was attained, they do not
tell whether costs were controlled for the activity level that was actually
worked during the period.
2. The company should use a flexible budget approach to evaluate control
over costs. Under the flexible budget approach, the actual costs incurred
during the quarter in working 35,000 machine-hours should be compared to budgeted costs at that activity level.

Problem 11-21 (continued)
4. Variable overhead
Spending variance: This variance includes both price and quantity elements. The overhead spending variance reflects differences between actual and standard prices for variable overhead items. I t also reflects differences between the amounts of variable overhead inputs that were actually used and the amounts that should have been used for the actual
output of the period. Since the variable overhead spending variance is
unfavorable, either too much was paid for variable overhead items or
too many of them were used.
Eff iciency variance: The term “variable overhead eff iciency variance” is a
misnomer, since the variance does not measure eff iciency in the use of
overhead items. I t measures the indirect effect on variable overhead of
the eff iciency or ineff iciency with which the activity base is utilized. I n
this company, the activity base is labor-hours. I f variable overhead is
really proportional to labor-hours, then more effective use of labor-hours
has the indirect effect of reducing variable overhead. Since 2,000 fewer
labor-hours were required than indicated by the labor standards, the indirect effect was presumably to reduce variable overhead spending by
about PZ 5,000 (PZ 2.50 per hour × 2,000 hours).
Fixed overhead
Budget variance: This variance is simply the difference between the
budgeted f ixed cost and the actual f ixed cost. I n this case, the variance
is favorable which indicates that actual f ixed costs were lower than anticipated in the budget.
Volume variance: This variance occurs as a result of actual activity being
different from the denominator activity in the predetermined overhead
rate. I n this case, the variance is unfavorable, so actual activity was less
than the denominator activity. I t is diff icult to place much of a meaningful economic interpretation on this variance. I t tends to be large, so it
often swamps the other, more meaningful variances if they are simply
netted against each other.

Problem 11-23 (30 minutes)
1. The company is using a static budget approach in which budgeted performance at one level of activity is compared to actual performance at a
higher level of activity. The variable overhead variances are all unfavorable because of this mismatching of activity levels. The report in this
format is not useful for measuring either operating eff iciency or cost
control. The only accurate piece of information it gives is that the department worked more than the 35,000 machine-hours budgeted for the
month. I t does not tell whether the actual output for the month was
produced eff iciently, nor does it tell whether overhead spending has
been controlled during the month.
2. See the next page.
3. The stolen supplies would be included as part of the variable overhead
spending variance for the month. Unlike the price variance for materials
and the rate variance for labor, the spending variance measures both
price and quantity (waste, theft) elements. This is why the variance is
called a “spending” variance; total spending can be affected as much by
waste or theft as by greater (or lesser) prices paid for items.

separately, as illustrated in the text, and if individual cost formulas are
given. Fixed and variable costs can be separated (and cost formulas determined) by the high-low method. I ncorporating these ideas, the revised flexible budget would be:

4. a. Assuming that the variable overhead really should be proportional to
actual machine-hours, the unfavorable spending variance in this
situation could be the result of either higher prices or waste. Unlike
the price variance for materials and the rate variance for labor, the
spending variance for variable overhead measures both price and
waste elements. This is why the variance is called a “spending” variance. Total spending can be affected as much by waste as it can by
greater (or lesser) prices paid for items.

b. Eff iciency variance = SR (AH – SH)
$1 per MH (5,700 MHs – 5,600 MHs) = $100 U
The overhead eff iciency variance is misnamed, since it does not
measure eff iciency (waste) in use of variable overhead items. The
variance arises solely because of ineff iciency in the base underlying
the incurrence of variable overhead cost. I f the incurrence of variable
overhead costs is directly tied to the actual machine-hours worked,
then the excessive number of machine-hours worked during April has
caused the incurrence of an additional $100 in variable overhead
costs.

Problem 11-29 (continued)
5. The major disadvantage of using normal activity is the large volume
variance that ordinarily results. This occurs because the denominator activity used to compute the predetermined overhead rate is different from
the activity level that is anticipated for the period. I n the case at hand,
the company has used a long-run normal activity f igure of 30,000 DLHs
to compute the predetermined overhead rate, whereas activity for the
period was expected to be 40,000 DLHs. This has resulted in a huge favorable volume variance that may be diff icult for management to interpret. I n addition, the large favorable volume variance in this case has
masked the fact that the company did not achieve the budgeted level of
activity for the period. The company had planned to work 40,000 DLHs,
but managed to work only 36,000 DLHs (at standard). This unfavorable
result is concealed due to using a denominator f igure that is out of step
with current activity.
On the other hand, using long-run normal activity as the denominator
results in unit costs that are stable from year to year. Thus, management’s decisions are not clouded by unit costs that jump up and down
as the activity level rises and falls.

Problem 11-30 (continued)
3. The overall unfavorable variance is a very small percentage of the total
cost, less than 0.4% . That suggests that costs are well under control. I n
addition, the pattern of the variances may reflect good management.
The largest unfavorable variances are for value-added activities (scenery, costumes, props, actors and directors) that may warrant additional
spending. These unfavorable variances are offset by favorable variances
for theater hall rent and the printed programs. Assuming that the quality
of the printed programs has not noticeably declined and that the favorable variance for the rent reflects a lower negotiated rental fee, management should be congratulated. They have saved in some areas and
have apparently transferred the funds to other areas that may favorably
impact the quality of the theater’s productions.
4. The average costs may not be very good indicators of the additional
costs of any particular production or performance. The averages gloss
over considerable variations in costs. For example, a production of Peter
the Rabbit may require only half a dozen actors and actresses and fairly
simple costumes and props. On the other hand, a production of Cinderella may require dozens of actors and actresses and very elaborate and
costly costumes and props. Consequently, both the production costs and
the cost per performance will be much higher for Cinderella than for Peter the Rabbit. Managers of theater companies know that they must estimate the costs of each new production individually—the average costs
are of little use for this purpose.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 11-31 (30 minutes)
I t is diff icult to imagine how Tom Kemper could ethically agree to go along
with reporting the favorable $21,000 variance for industrial engineering on
the f inal report, even if the bill were not actually received by the end of the
year. I t would be misleading to include all of the original contract price of
$210,000 on the report, but to exclude part of the f inal cost of the contract. Collaborating in this attempt to mislead corporate headquarters
would appear to be a violation of three of the Standards of Ethical Conduct
for Management Accountants: Competence, I ntegrity, and Objectivity.
These three violations are discussed below:
Competence The competence standard requires that management accountants “prepare complete and clear reports and recommendations after
appropriate analyses of relevant and reliable information.” A report that
omits mentioning the entire amount owed on the industrial engineering
contract could hardly be called complete.
I ntegrity The integrity standard requires that management accountants
“communicate unfavorable as well as favorable information...” Withholding
unfavorable information such as the entire amount owed on the industrial
engineering contract violates this standard.
Objectivity The objectivity standard requires that management accountants “disclose fully all relevant information that could reasonably be expected to influence the user's understanding of the reports, comments, and
recommendations presented.” Failing to disclose the entire amount owed
on the industrial engineering contract violates this standard.
I ndividuals will differ in how they think Tom Kemper should handle this
situation. I n our opinion, he should f irmly state that he is willing to call
Laura, but even if the bill does not arrive, he is ethically bound to properly
accrue the expenses on the report—which will mean an unfavorable variance for industrial engineering and an overall unfavorable variance. This
would require a great deal of personal courage. I f the general manager insists on keeping the misleading $21,000 favorable variance on the report,
Kemper would have little choice under the Standards of Ethical Conduct. He
would have to take the dispute to the next higher managerial level in the
company.

Case 11-31 (continued)
I t is important to note that the problem may be a consequence of inappropriate use of performance reports by corporate headquarters. I f the performance report is being used as a way of “beating up” managers, corporate headquarters may be creating a climate in which managers such as
the general manager at the Wichita plant will feel like they must always
turn in positive reports. This creates pressure to bend the truth since reality
isn’t always positive.
Some students may suggest that Kemper redo the performance report to
recognize eff iciency variances. This might make the performance look better, or it might make the performance look worse; we cannot tell from the
data in the case. Moreover, it is unlikely that corporate headquarters would
permit a performance report that does not follow the usual format, which
apparently does not recognize eff iciency variances.

2. The performance report as originally prepared is based on a static
budget approach that does not allow for variations in the number of
miles driven from month to month, or for variations in the number of
automobiles used. This causes the “monthly budget” figures for both
variable and fixed costs to be unrealistic as benchmarks against which
to compare actual costs for the month. For example, actual variable
costs such as gasoline can’t be compared to the “budgeted” cost, since
the budgeted figure is based on only 50,000 miles; actual fixed costs
such as insurance can’t be compared to the “budgeted” costs, since the
budgeted figure is based on only 20 automobiles.
The performance report in Part (1) above is more realistic since the
benchmark figures are based on actual miles driven and on the actual
number of automobiles used during the month.

Group Exercise 11-35
1. The tighter standards for fixed manufacturing costs are a consequence
of spreading fixed costs over more units, resulting in a smaller standard
cost per unit. Unless the plant operates at practical capacity, the volume
variance will be unfavorable.
a. The possible negative behavioral effects include:
• Employees may view the standards as unreasonable.
• Employees may react negatively to the change, feeling that it has
been imposed by the accounting department with little input from
those who would be most affected.
• Motivation may suffer if employees feel increased pressure to meet
the tighter standards.
• General resistance to change.
b. To reduce the negative behavioral effects, management could:
• Explain what is expected and why this change will further the company’s objectives.
• Adjust the performance evaluation system to reflect this change.
For example, production managers would not be held responsible
for volume variances so long as demand is satisfied and orders are
shipped on time.
2. Tight standards can have positive behavioral effects because:
• Employees may be energized by the challenge.
• Tight standards may encourage teamwork.
• Tight standards may foster problem-solving and creative thinking.
3. Representatives of all the parts of the organization that will be affected
by the change should participate in setting standards. This would certainly include anyone whose performance evaluation is affected by a
change in standards.
Employee participation in standard setting should result in better goal
congruence. The individuals who will be affected by the standards have
first-hand operating knowledge, which should be invaluable in the standard setting process. I n addition, their participation in standard setting
will increase the likelihood that they will be committed to meeting the
standards once they have been set.

Segment Reporting and Decentralization
Solutions to Questions
12-1 In a decentralized organization, decision-making authority isn’t confined to a few top
executives, but rather is spread throughout the
organization with lower-level managers and
other employees empowered to make decisions.
12-2 The benefits of decentralization include:
(1) freeing top managers to focus on strategy,
higher-level decision making, and coordinating
activity; (2) improving operational decision making, since lower-level managers often have better information about local conditions; (3) enabling quicker response to customer needs; (4)
training lower-level managers to take on greater
responsibility; and (5) providing greater motivation and job satisfaction for lower-level managers.
12-3 A cost center manager has control over
cost, but not revenue or investment funds. A
profit center manager has control over both cost
and revenue. An investment center manager has
control over cost and revenue and investment
funds.
12-4 A segment is any part or activity of an
organization about which a manager seeks cost,
revenue, or profit data. Examples of segments
include departments, operations, sales territories, divisions, product lines, and so forth.
12-5 Under the contribution approach, costs
are assigned to a segment if and only if the
costs are traceable to the segment. Common
costs are not allocated to segments under the
contribution approach.
12-6 A traceable cost of a segment is a cost
that arises specifically because of the existence
of that segment. If the segment were eliminated, the cost would disappear. A common
cost, by contrast, is a cost that supports more
than one segment, but is not traceable in whole
or in part to any one of the segments. If the
departments of a company are treated as segments, then examples of the traceable costs of a
department would include the salary of the department’s supervisor, depreciation of machines
used exclusively by the department, and the
costs of supplies used by the department. Examples of common costs would include the salary of the general counsel of the entire company, the lease cost of the headquarters building, corporate image advertising, and periodic
depreciation of machines shared by several departments.
12-7 The contribution margin is the difference
between sales revenue and variable expenses.
The segment margin is the amount remaining
after deducting traceable fixed expenses from
the contribution margin. The contribution margin
is useful as a planning tool for many decisions,
including those in which fixed costs don’t
change. The segment margin is useful in assessing the overall profitability of a segment.
12-8 If common costs were allocated to segments, then the costs of segments would be
overstated and their margins would be understated. As a consequence, some segments may
appear to be unprofitable and managers may be
tempted to eliminate them. If a segment were
eliminated because of the existence of arbitrarily
allocated common costs, the overall profit of the

713
company would decline by the amount of the
segment margin because the common cost
would remain. The common cost that had been
allocated to the segment would then be reallocated to the remaining segments—making them
appear less profitable.
12-9 There are often limits to how far down
an organization a cost can be traced. Therefore,
costs that are traceable to a segment may become common as that segment is divided into
smaller segment units. For example, the costs of
national TV and print advertising might be
traceable to a product line, but be a common
cost of the geographic sales territories in which
that product line is sold.
12-10 Margin refers to the ratio of net operating income to total sales. Turnover refers to the
ratio of total sales to average operating assets.
The product of the two numbers is the ROI.
12-11 Residual income is the net operating
income an investment center earns above the
company’s minimum required rate of return on
operating assets.
12-12 If ROI is used to evaluate performance,
a manager of an investment center may reject a
profitable investment opportunity whose rate of
return exceeds the company’s required rate of
return but whose rate of return is less than the
investment center’s current ROI. The residual
income approach overcomes this problem since
any project whose rate of return exceeds the
company’s minimum required rate of return will
result in an increase in residual income.
12-13 A transfer price is the price charged for
a transfer of goods or services between segments of the same organization, such as two
departments or divisions. Transfer prices are
needed for performance evaluation purposes.
The selling unit gets credit for the transfer price
and the buying unit must deduct the transfer
price as an expense.
12-14 If the selling division has idle capacity,
any transfer price above the variable cost of
producing an item for transfer will generate
some additional profit.
12-15 If the selling division has no idle capacity, then the transfer price would have to cover
at least the division’s variable cost plus the contribution margin on lost sales.
12-16 Cost-based transfer prices are widely
used because they are easily understood and
convenient to use. Their disadvantages are that
they can lead to poor decisions regarding
whether transfers should be made, they provide
little incentive for cost control, and the selling
division makes no profit.
12-17 Using the market price as the transfer
price can lead to incorrect decisions. When the
selling division has idle capacity, the cost to the
company of the transfer is just the variable cost
of the item transferred. However, if the market
price is used as the transfer price, the buying
division regards the market price as the cost. If
the market price exceeds the variable cost
(which will ordinarily happen), managers in the
buying division will make less than optimal pricing and other decisions concerning the product.

Exercise 12-4 (30 minutes)
1. a. The lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling division is given by the following formula:
Total contribution margin
on lost sales
Transfer price ≥ Variable cost +
per unit
Number of units transferred
Since there is enough idle capacity to fill the entire order from the HiFi Division, no outside sales are lost. And since the variable cost per
unit is $42, the lowest acceptable transfer price as far as the selling
division is concerned is also $42.
Transfer price ≥ $42 +
$0
= $42
5,000
b. The Hi-Fi division can buy a similar speaker from an outside supplier
for $57. Therefore, the Hi-Fi Division would be unwilling to pay more
than $57 per speaker.
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $57
c. Combining the requirements of both the selling division and the buying division, the acceptable range of transfer prices in this situation
is:
$42 ≤ Transfer price ≤ $57
Assuming that the managers understand their own businesses and
that they are cooperative, they should be able to agree on a transfer
price within this range and the transfer should take place.
d. From the standpoint of the entire company, the transfer should take
place. The cost of the speakers transferred is only $42 and the company saves the $57 cost of the speakers purchased from the outside
supplier.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Exercise 12-4 (continued)
2. a. Each of the 5,000 units transferred to the Hi-Fi Division must displace
a sale to an outsider at a price of $60. Therefore, the selling division
would demand a transfer price of at least $60. This can also be computed using the formula for the lowest acceptable transfer price as
follows:
Transfer price ≥ $42 +
($60 - $42)
× 5,000
5,000
= $42 + ($60 - $42) = $60
b. As before, the Hi-Fi Division would be unwilling to pay more than $57
per speaker.
c. The requirements of the selling and buying divisions in this instance
are incompatible. The selling division must have a price of at least
$60 whereas the buying division will not pay more than $57. An
agreement to transfer the speakers is extremely unlikely.
d. From the standpoint of the entire company, the transfer should not
take place. By transferring a speaker internally, the company gives up
revenue of $60 and saves $57, for a loss of $3.

Exercise 12-7 (20 minutes)
1. $75,000 × 40% CM ratio = $30,000 increased contribution margin in
Minneapolis. Since the fixed costs in the office and in the company as a
whole will not change, the entire $30,000 would result in increased net
operating income for the company.
It is not correct to multiply the $75,000 increase in sales by Minneapolis’
24% segment margin ratio. This approach assumes that the segment’s
traceable fixed expenses increase in proportion to sales, but if they did,
they would not be fixed.
2. a. The segmented income statement follows:

b. The segment margin ratio rises and falls as sales rise and fall due to
the presence of fixed costs. The fixed costs are spread over a larger
base as sales increase.
In contrast to the segment ratio, the contribution margin ratio is stable so long as there is no change in either the variable expenses or
the selling price per unit of service.

2. The $48,000 in traceable fixed expenses in Exercise 12-7 is now partly
traceable and partly common. When we segment Minneapolis by market, only $33,000 remains a traceable fixed expense. This amount
represents costs such as advertising and salaries of individuals that arise
because of the existence of the Medical and Dental markets. The remaining $15,000 ($48,000 – $33,000) becomes a common cost when
Minneapolis is segmented by market. This amount would include costs
such as the salary of the manager of the Minneapolis office that could
not be avoided by eliminating either of the two market segments.

If performance is being measured by ROI, both Division A and Division C
probably would reject the 15% investment opportunity. These divisions’
ROIs currently exceed 15%; accepting a new investment with a 15%
rate of return would reduce their overall ROIs. Division B probably would
accept the 15% investment opportunity, since accepting it would increase the division’s overall rate of return.
If performance is measured by residual income, both Division A and Division B probably would accept the 15% investment opportunity. The
15% rate of return promised by the new investment is greater than their
required rates of return of 14% and 10%, respectively, and would therefore add to the total amount of their residual income. Division C would
reject the opportunity, since the 15% return on the new investment is
less than its 16% required rate of return.

2. The manager of the New South Wales Division seems to be doing the
better job. Although her margin is three percentage points lower than
the margin of the Queensland Division, her turnover is higher (a turnover of 3.5, as compared to a turnover of two for the Queensland Division). The greater turnover more than offsets the lower margin, resulting in a 21% ROI, as compared to an 18% ROI for the other division.
Notice that if you look at margin alone, then the Queensland Division
appears to be the stronger division. This fact underscores the importance of looking at turnover as well as at margin in evaluating performance in an investment center.

3. No, the Yokohama Division is simply larger than the Osaka Division and
for this reason one would expect that it would have a greater amount of
residual income. Residual income can’t be used to compare the performance of divisions of different sizes. Larger divisions will almost always look better, not necessarily because of better management but
simply because they are larger. In fact, in the case above, the Yokohama
Division does not appear to be as well managed as the Osaka Division.
Note from Part (1) that Yokohama has only an 18% ROI as compared to
21% for Osaka.

$75) to the company than can be obtained from selling to outside customers. Thus, the company as a whole will be better off if Division A
transfers the 1,000 additional boards to Division B.

Exercise 12-17 (20 minutes)
1. The lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling
division is given by the following formula:
Total contribution margin
on lost sales
Transfer price ≥ Variable cost +
.
per unit
Number of units transferred
There is no idle capacity, so each of the 40,000 units transferred from
Division X to Division Y reduces sales to outsiders by one unit. The contribution margin per unit on outside sales is $20 (= $90 – $70).
Transfer price ≥ ($70 - $3) +
$20 × 40,000
40,000
= $67 + $20 = $87
The buying division, Division Y, can buy a similar unit from an outside
supplier for $86. Therefore, Division Y would be unwilling to pay more
than $86 per unit.
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $86
The requirements of the two divisions are incompatible and no transfer
will take place.
2. In this case, Division X has enough idle capacity to satisfy Division Y’s
demand. Therefore, there are no lost sales and the lowest acceptable
price as far as the selling division is concerned is the variable cost of
$60 per unit.
Transfer price ≥ $60+
$0
=$60
40,000
The buying division, Division Y, can buy a similar unit from an outside
supplier for $74. Therefore, Division Y would be unwilling to pay more
than $74 per unit.
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $74
In this case, the requirements of the two divisions are compatible and a
transfer hopefully will take place at a transfer price within the range:
$60 ≤ Transfer price ≤ $74

2. Two insights should be brought to the attention of management. First,
compared to the Southern territory, the Northern territory has a low
contribution margin ratio. Second, the Northern territory has high traceable fixed expenses. Overall, compared to the Southern territory, the
Northern territory is very weak.
3. Again, two insights should be brought to the attention of management.
First, the Northern territory has a poor sales mix. Note that the territory
sells very little of the Paks product, which has a high contribution margin
ratio. This poor sales mix accounts for the low overall contribution margin ratio in the Northern territory mentioned in part (2) above. Second,
the traceable fixed expenses of the Paks product seem very high in relation to sales. These high fixed expenses may simply mean that the Paks
product is highly leveraged; if so, then an increase in sales of this product line would greatly enhance profits in the Northern territory and in
the company as a whole.

Problem 12-19 (30 minutes)
1. Breaking the ROI computation into two separate elements helps the
manager to see important relationships that might remain hidden if net
operating income were simply related to operating assets. First, the importance of turnover of assets as a key element to overall profitability is
emphasized. Prior to use of the ROI formula, managers tended to allow
operating assets to swell to excessive levels. Second, the importance of
sales volume in profit computations is stressed and explicitly recognized.
Third, breaking the ROI computation into margin and turnover elements
stresses the possibility of trading one off for the other in attempts to
improve the overall profit picture. That is, a company may shave its
margins slightly hoping for a great enough increase in turnover to increase the overall rate of return. Fourth, ratios make it easier to make
comparisons between segments of the organization.

Because of differences in size between Company A and the other two
companies (notice that B and C are equal in income and assets), it is
difficult to say much about comparative performance looking at net operating income and operating assets alone. That is, it is impossible to
determine whether Company A’s higher ROI is a result of its lower assets or its higher income. This points up the need to specifically include
sales as an element in ROI computations. By including sales, light is
shed on the comparative performance and possible problems in the
three companies.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Problem 12-19 (continued)
NAA Report No. 35 states (p. 35):
“Introducing sales to measure level of operations helps to disclose specific areas for more intensive investigation. Company B does as well as
Company A in terms of profit margin, for both companies earn 14% on
sales. But Company B has a much lower turnover of capital than does
Company A. Whereas a dollar of investment in Company A supports two
dollars in sales each period, a dollar investment in Company B supports
only fifty cents in sales each period. This suggests that the analyst
should look carefully at Company B’s investment. Is the company keeping an inventory larger than necessary for its sales volume? Are receivables being collected promptly? Or did Company A acquire its fixed assets at a price level which was much lower than that at which Company
B purchased its plant?”
Thus, by including sales specifically in ROI computations the manager is
able to discover possible problems, as well as reasons underlying a
strong or a weak performance. Looking at Company A compared to
Company C, notice that C’s turnover is the same as A’s, but C’s margin
on sales is much lower. Why would C have such a low margin? Is it due
to inefficiency, is it due to geographical location (requiring higher salaries or transportation charges), is it due to excessive materials costs, or
is it due to other factors? ROI computations raise questions such as
these, which form the basis for managerial action.
To summarize, in order to bring B’s ROI into line with A’s, it seems obvious that B’s management will have to concentrate its efforts on increasing turnover, either by increasing sales or by reducing assets. It seems
unlikely that B can appreciably increase its ROI by improving its margin
on sales. On the other hand, C’s management should concentrate its efforts on the margin element by trying to pare down its operating expenses.

Problem 12-21 (45 minutes)
1. The lowest acceptable transfer price from the perspective of the selling
division is given by the following formula:
Transfer price ≥ Variable cost +
per unit
Total contribution margin on lost sales
Number of units transferred
The Pulp Division has no idle capacity, so transfers from the Pulp Division to the Carton Division would cut directly into normal sales of pulp
to outsiders. Since the costs are the same whether the pulp is transferred internally or sold to outsiders, the only relevant cost is the lost
revenue of $70 per ton from the pulp that could be sold to outsiders.
This is confirmed below:
Transfer price ≥ $42 +
($70 - $42) × 5,000
= $42 + ($70 - $42) = $70
5,000
Therefore, the Pulp Division will refuse to transfer at a price less than
$70 a ton.
The Carton Division can buy pulp from an outside supplier for $70 a ton,
less a 10% quantity discount of $7, or $63 a ton. Therefore, the Division
would be unwilling to pay more than $63 per ton.
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $63
The requirements of the two divisions are incompatible. The Carton Division won’t pay more than $63 and the Pulp Division will not accept less
than $70. Thus, there can be no mutually agreeable transfer price and
no transfer will take place.
2. The price being paid to the outside supplier, net of the quantity discount, is only $63. If the Pulp Division meets this price, then profits in
the Pulp Division and in the company as a whole will drop by $35,000
per year:
Lost revenue per ton .............................
$70
Outside supplier’s price ..........................
$63

Problem 12-21 (continued)
Profits in the Carton Division will remain unchanged, since it will be
paying the same price internally as it is now paying externally.
3. The Pulp Division has idle capacity, so transfers from the Pulp Division
to the Carton Division do not cut into normal sales of pulp to outsiders.
In this case, the minimum price as far as the Carton Division is concerned is the variable cost per ton of $42. This is confirmed in the following calculation:
Transfer price ≥ $42 +
$0
= $42
5,000
The Carton Division can buy pulp from an outside supplier for $63 a ton
and would be unwilling to pay more than that for pulp in an internal
transfer. If the managers understand their own businesses and are cooperative, they should agree to a transfer and should settle on a transfer price within the range:
$42 ≤ Transfer price ≤ $63
4. Yes, $59 is a bona fide outside price. Even though $59 is less than the
Pulp Division’s $60 “full cost” per unit, it is within the range given in Part
3 and therefore will provide some contribution to the Pulp Division.
If the Pulp Division does not meet the $59 price, it will lose $85,000 in
potential profits:
Price per ton ..........................................
Less variable costs ..................................
Contribution margin per ton.....................
$59
42
$17
5,000 tons × $17 per ton = $85,000 potential increased profits
This $85,000 in potential profits applies to the Pulp Division and to the
company as a whole.
5. No, the Carton Division should probably be free to go outside and get
the best price it can. Even though this would result in suboptimization
for the company as a whole, the buying division should probably not be
forced to buy inside if better prices are available outside.

So long as the selling division has idle capacity, profits in the company
as a whole will increase if internal transfers are made. However, there is
a question of fairness as to how these profits should be split between
the selling and buying divisions. The inflexibility of management in this
situation damages the profits of the Carton Division and greatly enhances the profits of the Pulp Division.

Problem 12-22 (continued)
2. a. No, the cookbook line should not be eliminated. The cookbook is covering all of its own costs and is generating an $18,000 segment margin toward covering the company’s common costs and toward profits.
(Note: Problems relating to the elimination of a product line are covered in more depth in Chapter 13.)
b. No, it is probably unwise to focus all available resources on promoting
the travel guide. The company is already spending nearly as much on
the promotion of this line as it is on the other two lines together. Furthermore, the travel guide has the lowest contribution margin ratio of
the three products. Nevertheless, we cannot say for sure which product should be emphasized in this situation without more information.
If the equipment is being fully utilized, increasing the production of
any one product would require cutting back on one of the other
products. In Chapter 13 we will discuss how to choose the most profitable product when there is a constraint that forces such a trade-off
between products.
3. At least three additional points should be brought to the attention of
management:
i. Compared to the other two lines, salaries are very high for the cookbook line. This should be investigated to find the reason for the wide
difference in cost.
ii. The company pays a commission of 10% on the selling price of any
book. Consideration should be given to revising the commission structure to base it on contribution margin, rather than on sales.
iii. Management should consider JIT deliveries to reduce warehouse
costs.

Transfer price ≥ ($18 - $2)+
Total contribution margin on lost sales
Number of units transferred
($30 - $18) × 5,000
= $16 + $12 = $28
5,000
But, from the standpoint of the buying division, Beta Division:
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $27
Beta Division won’t pay more than $27 and Alpha Division will not accept less than $28, so no deal is possible. There will be no transfer.
2. a. From the standpoint of the selling division, Alpha Division:
Transfer price ≥ Variable cost +

Transfer price ≥ ($65 - $5) +
Total contribution margin on lost sales
Number of units transferred
($90 - $65) × 30,000
= $60 + $25 = $85
30,000
From the standpoint of the buying division, Beta Division:
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier = $89
In this instance, an agreement is possible within the range:
$85 ≤ Transfer price ≤ $89
Even though both managers would be better off with any transfer price
within this range, they may disagree about the exact amount of the
transfer price. It would not be surprising to hear the buying division arguing strenuously for $85 while the selling division argues just as
strongly for $89.

Problem 12-24 (continued)
From the standpoint of the buying division, Beta Division:
Transfer price ≤ Cost of buying from outside supplier
Transfer price ≤ $75 - (0.08 × $75) = $69
In this case, an agreement is possible within the range:
$40 ≤ Transfer price ≤ $69
If the managers understand what they are doing and are reasonably cooperative, they should be able to come to an agreement with a transfer
price within this range.
b. Alpha Division’s ROI should increase. Since the division has idle capacity, there should be little or no increase needed in the division’s
operating assets as a result of selling 20,000 units a year to Beta Division. Therefore, Alpha Division’s turnover should increase. The division’s margin earned on sales should also increase, since its contribution margin will increase by $400,000 as a result of the new sales,
with no offsetting increase in fixed costs:

1. The disadvantages or weaknesses to the company’s format are as follows:
a. The company should include a column showing the combined results
of the three regions taken together.
b. Additional columns showing percentages would be helpful in assessing performance and pinpointing areas of difficulty.
c. The regional expenses should be segregated into variable and fixed
categories to permit the computation of both a contribution margin
and a regional segment margin.
d. The corporate expenses are probably common to the regions and
should not be arbitrarily allocated.
2. Corporate advertising expenses have been allocated on the basis of
sales dollars; the general administrative expenses have been allocated
evenly among the three regions. Such allocations should not be made
under the contribution approach, since they can be misleading to management and tend to call attention away from the segment margin. The
segment margin should be used to measure the performance of a segment, not the “net operating income” or “net loss” after allocating common expenses.

4. The following points should be brought to the attention of management:
a. Sales in the West are much lower than in the other two regions. This
is not due to lack of salespeople since salaries in the West are about
the same as in the Central Region, which has the highest sales of the
three regions.
b. The West is spending about half as much for advertising as the Central Region. Perhaps this is the reason for the West’s lower sales.
c. The East apparently is selling a large amount of low-margin items.
Note that it has a contribution margin ratio of only 46%, compared to
60% or more for the other two regions.
d. The East appears to be overstaffed. Its salaries are about 50%
greater than in either of the other two regions.
e. The East is not covering its own traceable costs. Major attention
should be given to improving the sales mix and reducing expenses in
this region.
f. Apparently, the salespeople in all three regions are on a salary basis.
Perhaps a change to a commission basis would encourage the sales
staff to be more aggressive and improve sales throughout the company.

3. The following comments relate to the three markets:
Commercial market:
• The commercial market is the company’s strongest segment rather than
its weakest. It is generating enough segment margin by itself to cover
all of the company’s common costs.
• The manager of the commercial market is doing an outstanding job of
controlling expenses. Expenses as a percentage of sales are lower than
the company average for every category except cost of sales and advertising, and these latter two costs do not seem out of line.
Home Market:
• The home market spends very little on advertising. A more generous
advertising budget may yield a substantial increase in sales in this segment.
• Order processing expenses are extremely high in the home market. Note
from the data in the problem that more orders are written in this market
(5,200 orders) than in the other two markets combined. This large
number of orders, combined with the low overall sales in the home market, means that the home market is taking many small orders.
• Warehousing expenses are also high in the home market.
• The home market is not covering its own traceable costs. If sales can’t
be increased through a more generous advertising budget and through
a concerted effort to make larger sales per order and other actions, then
consideration should be given to eliminating this market segment.
School Market:
• The school market has extremely high sales support expenses. This is
because nearly as many sales calls are made to this market (11,000
calls) as are made to the other two markets combined. Can contacts be
made by phone or by other means?
• Over 60% of the packing and shipping expenses are traceable to the
school market. The company may want to investigate cheaper shipping
methods.

2. The division’s management would have been more likely to accept the
investment opportunity if residual income, rather than ROI, had been
used to evaluate performance and determine bonuses. The investment
would have lowered the division’s ROI because its expected return of
13% is lower than the division’s historical returns of 14% to 17% as well
as its most recent ROI of 15%. In contrast, the division’s residual income would be increased by the investment opportunity. From the
standpoint of the entire company, an investment whose return exceeds
the minimum required return should be accepted. However, when bonuses are based on ROI, the division will likely reject any investment
that lowers the division’s ROI even if it exceeds the minimum required
rate of return.
3. Reigis must be free to control all items related to profit (revenues and
expenses) and investment if it is to be evaluated fairly as an investment
center. This is true under both the ROI and residual income approaches.

Problem 12-29 (45 minutes)
1. The Quark Division will probably reject the $340 price because it is below the division’s variable costs of $350 per set. This variable cost includes the $140 transfer price from the Cabinet Division, which in turn
includes $30 per unit in fixed costs. Nevertheless, from the perspective
of the Quark Division, the entire $140 transfer price from the Cabinet
Division is a variable cost. Thus, it will reject the offered $340 price.
2. If both the Cabinet Division and the Quark Division have idle capacity,
then from the perspective of the entire company the $340 offer should
be accepted. By rejecting the $340 price, the company will lose $60 in
potential contribution margin per set:
Price offered per set ................................
Less variable costs per set:
Cabinet Division ....................................
Quark Division ......................................
Potential contribution margin per set.........
$340
$ 70
210
280
$ 60
3. If the Cabinet Division is operating at capacity, any cabinets transferred
to the Quark Division to fill the overseas order will have to be diverted
from outside customers. Whether a cabinet is sold to outside customers
or is transferred to the Quark Division, its production cost is the same.
However, if a set is diverted from outside sales, the Cabinet Division
(and the entire company) loses the $140 in revenue. As a consequence,
as shown below, there would be a net loss of $10 on each TV set sold
for $340.
Price offered per set ..............................................
$340
Less:
Lost revenue from sales of cabinets to outsiders ... $140
Variable cost of Quark Division............................. 210 350
Net loss per TV .....................................................

Problem 12-29 (continued)
4. When the selling division has no idle capacity, as in part (3), market
price works very well as a transfer price. The cost to the company of a
transfer when there is no idle capacity is the lost revenue from sales to
outsiders. If the market price is used as the transfer price, the buying
division will view the market price of the transferred item as its cost—
which is appropriate since that is the cost to the company. As a consequence, the manager of the buying division should be motivated to
make decisions that are in the best interests of the company.
When the selling division has idle capacity, the cost to the company of
the transfer is just the variable cost of producing the item. If the market
price is used as the transfer price, the manager of the buying division
will view that as his/her cost rather than the real cost to the company,
which is just variable cost. Hence, the manager will have the wrong cost
information for making decisions as we observed in parts (1) and (2)
above.

2. Product C should not be eliminated. As shown on the income statement
in part 1, product C is covering all of its own traceable costs and it is
generating a segment margin of $90,000 per month. If the product is
eliminated, all of this segment margin will be lost to the company, resulting in even larger overall monthly losses.
3. No, the company should concentrate its remaining inventory of X7 chips
on making product A, not product B. The company should focus on the
product that will provide the greatest amount of contribution margin.
Under the conditions posed, product A will provide the greatest amount
of contribution margin since (1) it has a CM ratio of 72% as compared
to only 60% for product B; (2) the two products have the same selling
price, and therefore, due to its higher CM ratio, product A will generate
a greater amount of contribution margin per chip than product B; and
(3) the two products require the same number of chips per unit.
4. a. An income statement showing product C segmented by markets appears on the next page.
b. The following insights should be brought to the attention of management:
1. Sales in the vending market are very low as compared to the home
market.
2. Variable selling expenses are 28% of sales in the vending market
as compared to only 8% in the home market. Is this just the nature of the markets, or are the high variable selling expenses in
the vending market a result of poor cost control?
3. The traceable fixed selling expenses in the vending market are
50% higher than in the home market, even though the vending
market has only a fraction of the sales of the home market. Why
would these costs be so high in the vending market?
4. The vending market has a negative segment margin. If sales can’t
be increased enough in future months to permit the market to
cover its own costs, then consideration should be given to eliminating the market. (Instructor’s note: The question of elimination
of product lines and other segments is covered in more detail in
Chapter 13.)

Case 12-34 (45 minutes)
1. The Electrical Division is presently operating at capacity; therefore, any
sales of X52 electrical fitting to the Brake Division will require that the
Electrical Division give up an equal number of sales to outside customers. Using the transfer pricing formula, we get a minimum transfer price
of:
Transfer price ≥ Variable cost +
per unit
Total contribution margin on lost sales
Number of units transferred
Transfer price ≥ $4.25 + ($7.50 - $4.25)
Transfer price ≥ $4.25 + $3.25
Transfer price ≥ $7.50
Thus, the Electrical Division should not supply the fitting to the Brake
Division for $5 each. The Electrical Division must give up revenues of
$7.50 on each fitting that it sells internally. Since management performance in the Electrical Division is measured by ROI, selling the fittings to
the Brake Division for $5 would adversely affect these performance
measurements.
2. The key is to realize that the $8 in fixed overhead and administrative
costs contained in the Brake Division’s $49.50 “cost” per brake unit is
not relevant. There is no indication that winning this contract would actually affect any of the fixed costs. If these costs would be incurred regardless of whether or not the Brake Division gets the airplane brake
contract, they should be ignored when determining the effects of the
contract on the company’s profits. Another key is that the variable cost
of the Electrical Division is not relevant either. Whether the fittings are
used in the brake units or sold to outsiders, the production costs of the
fittings would be the same. The only difference between the two alternatives is the revenue on outside sales that is given up when the fittings
are transferred within the company.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 12-34 (continued)
Selling price of the brake units ..................................
$50.00
Less:
The cost of the fittings used in the brakes (i.e. the
lost revenue from sale of fittings to outsiders)....... $ 7.50
Variable costs of the Brake Division excluding the
fitting ($22.50 + $14.00)..................................... 36.50 44.00
Net positive effect on the company’s profit.................
$ 6.00
Therefore, the company as a whole would be better off by $6.00 for
each brake unit that is sold to the airplane manufacturer.
3. As shown in part (1) above, the Electrical Division would insist on a
transfer price of at least $7.50 for the fitting. Would the Brake Division
make any money at this price? Again, the fixed costs are not relevant in
this decision since they would not be affected. Once this is realized, it is
evident that the Brake Division would be ahead by $6.00 per brake unit
if it accepts the $7.50 transfer price.
Selling price of the brake units .................................
$50.00
Less:
Purchased parts (from outside vendors) ................. $22.50
Electrical fitting X52 (assumed transfer price) ......... 7.50
Other variable costs .............................................. 14.00 44.00
Brake Division contribution margin ...........................
$ 6.00
In fact, since there is a positive contribution margin of $6, any transfer
price within the range of $7.50 to $13.50 (= $7.50 + $6.00) will improve
the profits of both divisions. So yes, the managers should be able to
agree on a transfer price.
4. It is in the best interests of the company and of the divisions to come to
an agreement concerning the transfer price. As demonstrated in part (3)
above, any transfer price within the range $7.50 to $13.50 would improve the profits of both divisions. What happens if the two managers
do not come to an agreement?

Solutions Manual, Chapter 12
771
Case 12-34 (continued)
In this case, top management knows that there should be a transfer and
could step in and force a transfer at some price within the acceptable
range. However, such an action, if done on a frequent basis, would undermine the autonomy of the managers and turn decentralization into a
sham.
Our advice to top management would be to ask the two managers to
meet to discuss the transfer pricing decision. Top management should
not dictate a course of action or what is to happen in the meeting, but
should carefully observe what happens in the meeting. If there is no
agreement, it is important to know why. There are at least three possible reasons. First, the managers may have better information than the
top managers and refuse to transfer for very good reasons. Second, the
managers may be uncooperative and unwilling to deal with each other
even if it results in lower profits for the company and for themselves.
Third, the managers may not be able to correctly analyze the situation
and may not understand what is actually in their own best interests. For
example, the manager of the Brake Division may believe that the fixed
overhead and administrative cost of $8 per brake unit really does have
to be covered in order to avoid a loss.
If the refusal to come to an agreement is the result of uncooperative attitudes or an inability to correctly analyze the situation, top management
can take some positive steps that are completely consistent with decentralization. If the problem is uncooperative attitudes, there are many
training companies that would be happy to put on a short course in
team building for the company. If the problem is that the managers are
unable to correctly analyze the alternatives, they can be sent to executive training courses that emphasize economics and managerial accounting.

Case 12-35 (continued)
2. While we do not favor the allocation of common costs to segments, the
most common reason given for this practice is that segment managers
need to be aware of the fact that common costs do exist and that they
must be covered.
Arguments against allocation of all costs:
• Allocation bases will need to be chosen arbitrarily since no cause-andeffect relationship exists between common costs and the segments to
which they are allocated.
• Management may be misled into eliminating a profitable segment
that appears to be unprofitable because of allocated common costs.
• Segment managers usually have little control over common costs.
They should not be held accountable for costs over which they have
no control.
• Allocations of common costs undermine the credibility of performance
reports. Segment managers may resent such allocations and ignore
the entire performance report as arbitrary and unfair.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Group Exercise 12-37
Note: This is a very difficult problem that requires an excellent understanding of the course to this point and analytical skills.
The two groups—representing managers in a transfer pricing negotiation—should be able to come to an agreement concerning the transfer
price.
From the standpoint of the Consumer Products Division, a deal with the
Industrial Products Division to acquire the electric motors at the transfer
price “TP” makes sense only if the deal will increase the division’s residual
income over and above what it would be without producing and selling the
new sorbet maker. In other words, the residual income from the sorbet
maker itself, after taking into account the deduction for the cost of the
electric motor, must be positive:
Residual income from the sorbet maker > $0
Contribution margin - Fixed cost - Minimum required return > $0
($89 - $54 - TP) × 50,000 - $180,000 - 0.20 × $3,000,000 > $0
($35 - TP) × 50,000 - $180,000 - $600,000 > $0
($35 - TP) × 50,000 - $780,000 > $0
($35 - TP) × 50,000 > $780,000
($35 - TP) > $15.60
TP < $19.40
Therefore, any transfer price that is less than $19.40 will result in an increase in the Consumer Product Division’s residual income if the sorbet
maker product is launched.

Solutions Manual, Chapter 12
779
Group Exercise 12-37 (continued)
On the other hand, from the standpoint of the Industrial Products Division, selling the electric motor to the Consumer Products Division will make
sense only if the Industrial Products Division’s residual income is increased.
This will occur if and only if:
Residual income from selling the electric motor > $0
Contribution margin - Fixed cost - Minimum required return > $0
(TP - $13) × 50,000 - $30,000 - 0.20 × $400,000 > $0
(TP - $13) × 50,000 - $30,000 - $80,000 > $0
(TP - $13) × 50,000 > $110,000
(TP - $13) > $2.20
TP > $15.20
Therefore, any transfer price in excess of $15.20 will result in an increase
in the Industrial Product Division’s residual income if the sorbet maker
product is launched.
Combining the two requirements, any transfer price within the range
$15.20 < TP < $19.40 will result in an increase in both Divisions’ residual
incomes. Therefore, the two groups should be able to come to a mutually
satisfactory agreement.
However, they may fail to come to an agreement. This could occur for a
number of reasons, just as in the real world. They may not be able to figure out what is in their own best interests. They may get caught up in the
negotiations and lose sight of their goal—which should be to maximize residual income. Or negotiations may break down over fairness and equity
issues.

Relevant Costs for Decision Making
Solutions to Questions
13-1 A relevant cost is a cost that differs in
total between the alternatives in a decision.
13-2 An incremental cost (or benefit) is the
change in cost (or benefit) that will result from
some proposed action. An opportunity cost is
the benefit that is lost or sacrificed in rejecting
some course of action. A sunk cost is a cost that
has already been incurred and that cannot be
changed by any future decision.
13-3 No. Variable costs are relevant costs
only if they differ in total between the alternatives under consideration.
13-4 No. Not all fixed costs are sunk—only
those for which the cost has already been irrevocably incurred. A variable cost can be a
sunk cost, if it has already been incurred.
13-5 No. A variable cost is a cost that varies
in total amount in direct proportion to changes
in the level of activity. A differential cost measures the difference in cost between two alternatives. If the level of activity is the same for the
two alternatives, a variable cost will be unaffected and it will be irrelevant.
13-6 No. Only those future costs that differ
between the alternatives under consideration
are relevant.
13-7 Only those costs that can be avoided as
a result of dropping the product line are relevant
in the decision. Costs that will not differ regardless of whether the line is retained or discontinued are irrelevant.
13-8 Not necessarily. An apparent loss may
be the result of allocated common costs or of
sunk costs that cannot be avoided if the product
line is dropped. A product line should be discon-
tinued only if the contribution margin that will
be lost as a result of dropping the line is less
than the fixed costs that can be avoided. Even
in that situation there may be arguments in favor of retaining the product line if its presence
promotes the sale of other products.
13-9 Allocations of common fixed costs can
make a product line (or other segment) appear
to be unprofitable, whereas in fact it may be
profitable.
13-10 If a company decides to make a part
internally rather than to buy it from an outside
supplier, then a portion of the company’s facilities have to be used to make the part. The
company’s opportunity cost is measured by the
benefits that could be derived from the best alternative use of the facilities.
13-11 Any resource that is required to make
products and get them into the hands of customers could be a constraint. Some examples
are machine time, direct labor time, floor space,
raw materials, investment capital, supervisory
time, and storage space. While not covered in
the text, constraints can also be intangible and
often take the form of a formal or informal policy that prevents the organization from furthering its goals.
13-12 Assuming that fixed costs are not affected, profits are maximized when the total
contribution margin is maximized. A company
can maximize its contribution margin by focusing
on the products with the greatest amount of
contribution margin per unit of the constrained
resource.

split-off point. The split-off point is the point in
the manufacturing process where joint products
can be recognized as individual products.
13-14 Joint costs should not be allocated
among joint products. If joint costs are allocated
among the joint products, then managers may
think they are avoidable costs of the end products. However, the joint costs will continue to be
incurred as long as the process is run regardless
of what is done with one of the end products.
Thus, when making decisions about the end
products, the joint costs are not avoidable and
are irrelevant.
of further processing, the product should be
processed further.
13-16 Most costs of a flight are either sunk
costs, or costs that do not depend on the number of passengers on the flight. Depreciation of
the aircraft, salaries of personnel on the ground
and in the air, and fuel costs, for example, are
the same whether the flight is full or almost
empty. Therefore, adding more passengers at
reduced fares at certain times of the week when
seats would otherwise be empty does little to
increase the total costs of making the flight, but
can do much to increase the total contribution
and total profit.

1. No, production and sale of the racing bikes should not be discontinued.
If the racing bikes were discontinued, then the net operating income for
the company as a whole would decrease by $11,000 each quarter:

Although product A has the lowest contribution margin per unit and the
second lowest contribution margin ratio, it is preferred over the other
two products since it has the greatest amount of contribution margin
per pound of material, and material is the company’s constrained resource.
3. The price Barlow Company would be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials depends on how the materials would be used. If
there are unfilled orders for all of the products, Barlow would presumably use the additional raw materials to make more of product A. Each
pound of raw materials used in product A generates $18 of contribution
margin over and above the usual cost of raw materials. Therefore, Barlow should be willing to pay up to $26 per pound ($8 usual price plus
$18 contribution margin per pound) for the additional raw material, but
would of course prefer to pay far less. The upper limit of $26 per pound
to manufacture more product A signals to managers how valuable additional raw materials are to the company.
If all of the orders for product A have been filled, Barlow Company
would then use additional raw materials to manufacture product C. The
company should be willing to pay up to $23 per pound ($8 usual price
plus $15 contribution margin per pound) for the additional raw materials
to manufacture more product C, and up to $20 per pound ($8 usual
price plus $12 contribution margin per pound) to manufacture more
product B if all of the orders for product C have been filled as well.

This answer assumes the resale value of the truck does not decline because of the wear and tear that comes with use.
2. The insurance, the licenses, and the variable costs (gasoline, oil, tires,
and repairs) would all be relevant to the decision, since these costs are
avoidable by not using the truck. (However, the owner of the garage
might insist that the truck be insured and licensed if it is left in the garage. In that case, the insurance and licensing costs would not be relevant since they would be incurred regardless of the decision.) The taxes
would not be relevant, since they must be paid regardless of use; the
garage rent would not be relevant, since it must be paid to park the
truck; and the depreciation would not be relevant, since it is a sunk
cost. However, any decrease in the resale value of the truck due to its
use would be relevant.
3. Only the variable costs of $0.07 would be relevant, since they are the
only costs that can be avoided by having the delivery done commercially.
4. In this case, only the fixed costs associated with the second truck would
be relevant. The variable costs would not be relevant, since they would
not differ between having one or two trucks. (Students are inclined to
think that variable costs are always relevant in decision-making, and to
think that fixed costs are always irrelevant. This requirement helps to
dispel that notion.)

Since C uses the least amount of material per unit of the three products,
and since it is the most profitable of the three in terms of its use of materials, some students will immediately assume that this is an infallible relationship. That is, they will assume that the way to spot the most profitable
product is to find the one using the least amount of the constrained resource. The way to dispel this notion is to point out that product A uses
more material (the constrained resource) than does product B, but yet it is
preferred over product B. The key factor is not how much of a constrained
resource a product uses, but rather how much contribution margin the
product generates per unit of the constrained resource.

This answer assumes that Bill would not be drinking the bottle of whiskey anyway. It also assumes that the resale values of the camper, pickup
truck, and boat are not affected by taking one more hunting trip.
The money lost in the poker game is not relevant because Bill would
have played poker even if he did not go hunting. He plays poker every
weekend.
The other costs are sunk at the point at which the decision is made to
go on another hunting trip.
2. If Bill gets lucky and bags another two ducks, all of his costs are likely to
be about the same as they were on his last trip. Therefore, it really
doesn’t cost him anything to shoot the last two ducks—except possibly
the costs for extra shotgun shells. The costs are really incurred in order
to be able to hunt ducks and would be the same whether one, two,
three, or a dozen ducks were actually shot. All of the costs, with the
possible exception of the costs of the shotgun shells, are basically fixed
with respect to how many ducks are actually bagged during any one
hunting trip.
3. In a decision of whether to give up hunting entirely, more of the costs
listed by John are relevant. If Bill did not hunt, he would not need to
pay for: gas, oil, and tires; shotgun shells; the hunting license; and the
whiskey. In addition, he would be able to sell his camper, equipment,
boat, and possibly pickup truck, the proceeds of which would be considered relevant in this decision. The original costs of these items are not
relevant, but their resale values are relevant.

These three requirements illustrate the slippery nature of costs. A cost
that is relevant in one situation can be irrelevant in the next. None of
the costs—except possibly the cost of the shotgun shells—are relevant
when we compute the cost of bagging a particular duck; some of them
are relevant when we compute the cost of a hunting trip; and more of
them are relevant when we consider the possibility of giving up hunting.

2. The goal of increasing the seat occupancy could be obtained by eliminating flights with a lower-than-average seat occupancy. By eliminating
these flights and keeping the flights with a higher average seat occupancy, the overall average seat occupancy for the company as a whole
would be improved. This could reduce profits, however, in at least two
ways. First, the flights that are eliminated could have contribution margins that exceed their avoidable costs (such as in the case of flight 482
in part 1). If so, then eliminating these flights would reduce the company’s total contribution margin more than it would reduce total costs,
and profits would decline. Second, these flights might be acting as
“feeder” flights, bringing passengers to cities where connections to more
profitable flights are made.

2. The T-bone steaks should be processed further into the filet mignon and
the New York cut. This will yield $0.40 per pound in added profit for the
company. The $0.45 “profit” per pound shown in the text is not relevant
to the decision, since it contains allocated joint costs. The company will
incur the joint costs regardless of whether the T-bone steaks are sold
outright or processed further; thus, this cost should be ignored in the
decision.

2. Based on the data in (1), the North Store should not be closed. If the
store is closed, then the company’s overall net operating income will decrease by $29,800 per quarter. If the store space cannot be subleased
or the lease broken without penalty, a decision to close the store would
cause an even greater decline in the company’s overall net income. If
the $85,000 rent cannot be avoided and the North Store is closed, the
company’s overall net operating income would be reduced by $114,800
per quarter ($29,800 + $85,000).
3. Under these circumstances, the North Store should be closed. The computations are as follows:
Gross margin lost if the North Store is closed (part 1) ...... $(316,800)

1. The fl2.80 per drum general overhead cost is not relevant to the decision, since this cost will be the same regardless of whether the company
decides to make or buy the drums. Also, the present depreciation figure
of fl1.60 per drum is not a relevant cost, since it represents a sunk cost
(in addition to the fact that the old equipment is worn out and must be
replaced). The cost of supervision is relevant to the decision, since this
cost can be avoided by buying the drums.

3. Other factors that the company should consider include:
a. Will volume in future years be increasing, or will it remain constant at
60,000 units per year? (If volume increases, then renting the new
equipment becomes more desirable, as shown in the computations
above.)
b. Can quality control be maintained if the drums are purchased from
the outside supplier?
c. Will costs for materials and labor increase in future years, thereby increasing the cost of making the drums?
d. Will the outside supplier be dependable in meeting shipping schedules?
e. Can the company begin making the drums again if the supplier
proves to be undependable, or are there alternative suppliers?
f. What is the labor outlook in the supplier’s industry (e.g., are frequent
labor strikes likely)?
g. If the outside supplier’s offer is accepted and the need for drums increases in future years, will the supplier have the added capacity to
provide more than 60,000 drums per year?

*$10 + $4.50 + $2.30 = $16.80.
3. The relevant cost is $1.20 per unit, which is the variable selling expense
per Dak. Since the irregular units have already been produced, all production costs (including the variable production costs) are sunk. The
fixed selling expenses are not relevant since they will be incurred
whether or not the irregular units are sold. Depending on how the irregular units are sold, the variable expense of $1.20 per unit may not
even be relevant. For example, the units may be disposed of through a
liquidator without incurring the normal variable selling expense.
4. If the plant operates at 30% of normal levels, then only 3,000 units will
be produced and sold during the two-month period:
60,000 units per year × 2/12 = 10,000 units.
10,000 units × 30% = 3,000 units produced and sold.

1. Product RG-6 yields a contribution margin of $8 per unit ($22 – $14 =
$8). If the plant closes, this contribution margin will be lost on the
16,000 units (8,000 units per month × 2 months) that could have been
sold during the two-month period. However, the company will be able to
avoid certain fixed costs as a result of closing down. The analysis is:
Contribution margin lost by closing the plant for

No, the company should not close the plant; it should continue to operate at the reduced level of 8,000 units produced and sold each month.
Closing will result in a $40,000 greater loss over the two-month period
than if the company continues to operate. An additional factor is the potential loss of goodwill among the customers who need the 8,000 units
of RG-6 each month. By closing down, the needs of these customers will
not be met (no inventories are on hand), and their business may be
permanently lost to another supplier.

1. The $90,000 in fixed overhead costs charged to the new product is a
common cost that will be the same whether the tubes are produced internally or purchased from the outside. Hence, they are not relevant.
The variable manufacturing overhead per box of Chap-Off would be
$0.50, as shown below:
Total manufacturing overhead cost per box of Chap-Off ... $1.40
Less fixed portion ($90,000 ÷ 100,000 boxes)................. 0.90
Variable overhead cost per box....................................... $0.50
The total variable costs of producing one box of Chap-Off would be:
Direct materials............................................................. $3.60
Direct labor................................................................... 2.00
Variable manufacturing overhead ................................... 0.50
Total variable cost per box ............................................. $6.10
If the tubes for the Chap-Off are purchased from the outside supplier,
then the variable cost per box of Chap-Off would be:
Direct materials ($3.60 × 75%)...................................... $2.70

* This $1.15 is the cost of making one box of tubes internally,
since it represents the overall cost savings that will be realized
per box of Chap-Off by purchasing the tubes from the outside.
2. The maximum purchase price would be $1.15 per box. The company
would not be willing to pay more than this amount, since the $1.15
represents the cost of producing one box of tubes internally, as shown
in Part 1. To make purchasing the tubes attractive, however, the purchase price should be less than $1.15 per box.

Cost of buying: 20,000 boxes × $6.30 per box ......... 126,000
Total cost............................................................... $736,000
Since the amount of cost under this alternative is $20,000 less than the
best alternative in Part 3, the company should make as many tubes as
possible with the current equipment and buy the remaining tubes from
the outside supplier.
5. Management should take into account at least the following additional
factors:
a) The ability of the supplier to meet required delivery schedules.
b) The quality of the tubes purchased from the supplier.
c) Alternative uses of the capacity that would be used to make the
tubes.
d) The ability of the supplier to supply tubes if volume increases in future years.
e) The problem of alternative sources of supply if the supplier proves
undependable.

3. Since the Mike doll has the lowest contribution margin per labor hour, its
production should be reduced by 20,000 dolls (10,000 excess hours divided by 0.5 hours production time per doll = 20,000 dolls). Thus, production and sales of the Mike doll will be reduced to one-half of that
planned, or 20,000 dolls for the year.

Problem 13-24 (continued)
4. Since the additional capacity would be used to produce the Mike doll,
the company should be willing to pay up to $14 per hour ($8 usual rate
plus $6 contribution margin per hour) for added labor time. Thus, the
company could employ workers for overtime at the usual time-and-ahalf rate of $12 per hour ($8 × 1.5 = $12), and still improve overall
profit.
5. Additional output could be obtained in a number of ways including working overtime, adding another shift, expanding the workforce, contracting
out some work to outside suppliers, and eliminating wasted labor time in
the production process. The first four methods are costly, but the last
method can add capacity at very low cost.
Note: Some would argue that direct labor is a fixed cost in this situation
and should be excluded when computing the contribution margin per
unit. However, when deciding which products to emphasize, no harm is
done by misclassifying a fixed cost as a variable cost—providing that the
fixed cost is the constraint. If direct labor were removed from the variable cost category, the net effect would be to bump up the contribution
margin per direct labor-hour by $8 for each of the products. The products will be ranked exactly the same—in terms of the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource—whether direct labor is considered variable or fixed. However, this only works when the fixed cost is
the cost of the constraint itself.

Problem 13-25 (45 minutes)
1. A product should be processed further so long as the incremental revenue from the further processing exceeds the incremental costs. The incremental revenue from further processing of the Grit 337 is:
Selling price of the silver polish, per jar................... $4.00
Selling price of 1/4 pound of Grit 337 ($2.00 ÷ 4).... 0.50
Incremental revenue per jar................................... $3.50
The incremental variable costs are:
Other ingredients .................................................. $0.65
Direct labor........................................................... 1.48
Variable manufacturing overhead (25% × $1.48)..... 0.37
Variable selling costs (7.5% × $4) .......................... 0.30
Incremental variable cost per jar ............................ $2.80
Therefore, the incremental contribution margin is $0.70 per jar ($3.50 –
$2.80). The $1.60 cost per pound ($0.40 per 1/4 pound) required to
produce the Grit 337 would not be relevant in this computation, since it
is incurred regardless of whether the Grit 337 is further processed into
silver polish or sold outright.

Solutions Manual, Chapter 13
823
Problem 13-25 (continued)
2. Only the cost of advertising and the cost of the production supervisor
are avoidable if production of the silver polish is discontinued. Therefore, the number of jars of silver polish that must be sold each month to
justify continued processing of the Grit 337 into silver polish is:
Production supervisor ........................................... $3,000
Advertising—direct ............................................... 4,000
Avoidable fixed costs ............................................ $7,000
Avoidable fixed costs
$7,000
= 10,000 jars per month
=
Incremental CM per jar $0.70 per jar
Therefore, if 10,000 jars of silver polish can be sold each month, the
company would be indifferent between selling it or selling all of the Grit
337 as a cleaning powder. If the sales of the silver polish are greater
than 10,000 jars per month, then continued processing of the Grit 337
into silver polish would be advisable since the company’s total profits
will be increased. If the company can’t sell at least 10,000 jars of silver
polish each month, then production of the silver polish should be discontinued. To verify this, we show on the next page the total contribution to
profits of sales of 9,000, 10,000 and 11,000 jars of silver polish, contrasted to sales of equivalent amounts of Grit 337 sold outright (i.e.,
10,000 jars of silver polish would require the use of 2,500 pounds of Grit
337 that otherwise could be sold outright as cleaning powder, etc.):

Problem 13-26 (45 minutes)
1. Only the avoidable costs are relevant in a decision to drop the Model C3
lawnchair product. The avoidable costs are:
Direct materials .................................................... R122,000
Direct labor ..........................................................
72,000
Fringe benefits (20% of direct labor)......................
14,400
Variable manufacturing overhead ...........................

Fringe benefits (20% of salaries and commissions) .

Total avoidable cost .............................................. R252,000
The following costs are not relevant in this decision:
Cost
Reason not relevant
Building rent and maintenance
All products use the same facilities; no space would be freed
if a product were dropped.
Depreciation
All products use the same
equipment so no equipment
can be sold. Furthermore, the
equipment does not wear out
through use.
General administrative expenses
Dropping the Model C3
lawnchair would have no effect
on total general administrative
expenses.
Having determined the costs that can be avoided if the Model C3
lawnchair is dropped, we can now make the following computation:
Sales revenue lost if the Model C3 lawnchair is dropped .. R300,000
Less costs that can be avoided (see above)....................
252,000
Decrease in overall company net operating income if
the Model C3 lawnchair is dropped.............................. R 48,000
© The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2006. All rights reserved.
826
Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Problem 13-26 (continued)
Thus, the Model C3 lawnchair should not be dropped unless the company can find more profitable uses for the resources consumed by the
Model C3 lawnchair.
2. To determine the minimum acceptable level of sales, we must first classify the avoidable costs into variable and fixed costs as follows:
Variable
Fixed
Direct materials ............................................... R122,000
Direct labor .....................................................
72,000
Fringe benefits (20% of direct labor) .................
14,400
Variable manufacturing overhead ......................
3,600
Product managers’ salaries ...............................
R10,000
Sales commissions (5% of sales).......................
15,000
Fringe benefits

3,000
2,000
Shipping..........................................................
10,000
Total costs ....................................................... R240,000 R12,000
The Model C3 lawnchair should be retained as long as its contribution
margin covers its avoidable fixed costs. Break-even analysis can be used
to find the sales volume where the contribution margin just equals the
avoidable fixed costs.
The contribution margin ratio is computed as follows:
CM ratio =
=
Contribution margin

R300,000-R240,000

The break-even sales volume can be found using the break-even
formula:
Break-even point =
=
Fixed costs
CM ratio
R12,000
= R60,000
0.20
Therefore, as long as the sales revenue from the Model C3 lawnchair
exceeds R60,000, it is covering its own avoidable fixed costs and is contributing toward covering the common fixed costs and toward the profits
of the entire company.

Case 13-27 (60 minutes)
1. The original cost of the facilities at Clayton is a sunk cost and should be
ignored in any decision. The decision being considered here is whether to
continue operations at Clayton. The only relevant costs are the future facility costs that would be affected by this decision. If the facility were shut
down, the Clayton facility has no resale value. In addition, if the Clayton
facility were sold, the company would have to rent additional space at the
remaining processing centers. On the other hand, if the facility were to
remain in operation, the building should last indefinitely, so the company
does not have to be concerned about eventually replacing it. Essentially,
there is no real cost at this point of using the Clayton facility despite what
the financial performance report indicates. Indeed, it might be a better
idea to consider shutting down the other facilities since the rent on those
facilities might be avoided.
The costs that are relevant in the decision to shut down the Clayton facility are:
Increase in rent at Billings and Great Falls................... $600,000
Decrease in local administrative expenses ...................
(90,000)
Net increase in costs ................................................. $510,000
In addition, there would be costs of moving the equipment from Clayton
and there might be some loss of sales due to disruption of services. In
sum, closing down the Clayton facility would almost certainly lead to a
decline in BSC’s profits.
Even though closing down the Clayton facility would result in a decline
in overall company profits, it would result in an improved performance
report for the Rocky Mountain Region (ignoring the costs of moving
equipment and potential loss of revenues from disruption of service to
customers).

2. If the Clayton facility is shut down, BSC’s profits will decline, employees
will lose their jobs, and customers will at least temporarily suffer some
decline in service. Therefore, Romeros is willing to sacrifice the interests
of the company, its employees, and its customers just to make her performance report look better.
While Romeros is not a management accountant, the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Management Accountants still provide useful guidelines.
a) By recommending closing the Clayton facility, Romeros would violate
the Competence Standard that stipulates recommendations should be
based on appropriate analysis of relevant and reliable information.
b) The Integrity Standard requires that management accountants “avoid
actual or apparent conflicts of interest and advise all appropriate parties of any potential conflict.” Romeros has a conflict of interest in this
case, since her recommendation will serve to make her own performance look better while actually leading to a decline in the company’s
profits.
© The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2006. All rights reserved.
830
Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 13-27 (continued)
c) The Integrity Standard is also violated in that her recommendation to
close down the Clayton facility would “subvert the attainment of the
organization’s legitimate and ethical objectives.”
d) Romeros would also be violating the Objectivity Standard that requires a management accountant to “disclose fully all relevant information that could reasonably be expected to influence an intended
user’s understanding of the reports, comments, and recommendations presented.” Presumably, if the corporate board were fully informed of the consequences of this action, they would disapprove.
In sum, it is difficult to describe the recommendation to close the Clayton facility as ethical behavior. In Romeros’ defense, however, it is not
fair to hold her responsible for the mistake made by her predecessor.
It should be noted that the performance report required by corporate
headquarters is likely to lead to other problems such as the one illustrated here. The arbitrary allocations of corporate and regional administrative expenses to processing centers may make other processing centers appear to be unprofitable even though they are not. In this case,
the problems created by these arbitrary allocations were compounded
by using an irrelevant facilities expense figure on the performance report.
3. Prices should be set ignoring the depreciation on the Clayton facility. As
argued in part (1) above, the real cost of using the Clayton facility is
zero. Any attempt to recover the sunk cost of the original cost of the
building by charging higher prices than the market will bear will lead to
less business and lower profits.

Case 13-28 (60 minutes)
1. Continuing to obtain covers from its own Denver Cover Plant would allow QualSupport to maintain its current level of control over the quality
of the covers and the timing of their delivery. Keeping the Denver Cover
Plant open also allows QualSupport more flexibility than purchasing the
coverings from outside suppliers. QualSupport could more easily alter
the coverings’ design and change the quantities produced, especially if
long-term contracts are required with outside suppliers. QualSupport
should also consider the economic impact that closing Denver Cover will
have on the community and how this might affect QualSupport’s other
operations in the region.
2. a. The following costs can be avoided by closing the plant, and therefore are relevant to the decision:

Case 13-28 (continued)
Depreciation is not relevant because it represents expiration of a sunk
cost. Three-fifths of the annual pension expense ($3,000,000) is not
relevant because it would continue whether or not the plant is closed.
The amount for plant manager and staff is not relevant because
Vosilo and his staff would continue with QualSupport and administer
the three remaining plants. The corporate allocation is not relevant
because this represents costs incurred outside Denver Cover and assigned to the plant.
c. The following nonrecurring costs would arise in the year that the
plant is closed, but would not be incurred in any other year:
Termination charges on canceled material orders

Case 13-29 (continued)
In both parts of the case the general fixed overhead costs are irrelevant
since they are allocated costs that will remain the same regardless of which
alternative is accepted. Also note that the same amount of total machine
time would be consumed in both the Grathin Division’s plant and the Able
Division’s plant regardless of which order is accepted. Thus, the amount of
machine time that would be required is not a factor in the decision.
Grathin’s plant:
Facet Division order:
2,000 motors × 2.5 hours per motor = 5,000 hours.
HighTech Corporation order:
2,500 motors × 2.0 hours per motor = 5,000 hours.
Able’s plant:
Facet Division order:
2,000 motors × 5.0 hours per motor = 10,000 hours.

2,500 motors × 4.0 hours per motor = 10,000 hours.

(2,500 parts × $200 per part) ............
Other variable costs
(2,500 motors × $500 per motor) ......
Contribution margin................................
$3,000,000
$ 500,000
1,250,000
1,750,000
$1,250,000
Thus, the Able Division will net $250,000 ($1,500,000 – $1,250,000)
more in contribution margin by taking the order from the Facet Division.
2. From the perspective of the company as a whole, the situation is at
once simpler and more complex. It is simpler because transfer prices are
irrelevant. Whatever one division pays, the other receives. From the
standpoint of the entire company, money is taken out of one pocket and
put into the other. The situation is more complex in that the company
must take into account that if Able Division accepts the order from
HighTech Corporation, Facet Division will need to acquire its motors from
Waverly Corporation rather than from Able Division. This is Alternative B
in the diagram on the first page of the solution. But let’s start with Alternative A, the simpler alternative. From the standpoint of the entire
company, the cost of the motors transferred to Facet Division is $650
per motor, the variable costs of Grathin Division plus the variable costs
of Able Division. The total cost of the motors would be $1,300,000
(2,000 motors @ $650 per motor). This is restated in slightly different
form below:
Alternative A
Facet Division acquires motors from Able Division, which acquires
parts from Grathin Division
Grathin Division’s variable expenses
(2,000 parts × $200 per part)..............................
Able Division’s variable expenses

Case 13-29 (continued)
Alternative B
This alternative is more complex than Alternative A. There are really
two parts to this alternative. In the first part, Facet Division purchases the required motors from Waverly Corporation, which purchases parts from Grathin Division. In the second part, Able Division
sells motors to HighTech Corporation using parts supplied by Grathin
Division. (Refer back to the diagram.) We will compute the financial
consequences of these two parts separately and then combine them.
Part 1: Facet Division’s purchase of motors
Facet Division’s payment to Waverly Corporation
(2,000 motors × $1,500 per motor) .....................
Waverly Corporation’s payments to Grathin Division
(2,000 parts × $350 per part)..............................
Grathin Division’s variable expenses
(2,000 parts × $175 per part)..............................
Total cost (a) ........................................................
$3,000,000
(700,000)
350,000
$2,650,000
Part 2: HighTech Corporation’s purchase of motors
HighTech Corporation’s payments to Able Division
(2,500 motors × $1,200 per motor) .....................
Able Division’s variable expenses
(2,500 motors × $500 per motor) ........................
Grathin Division’s variable expenses
(2,500 motors × $100 per motor) ........................
Total contribution margin (b)..................................
Net cost to the company of Alternative B (a) – (b) ...
$3,000,000
(1,250,000)
(250,000)
$1,500,000
$1,150,000
Since the $1,150,000 cost of Alternative B is less than the $1,300,000
cost of Alternative A, it is the preferred alternative.

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 13-30 (30 minutes)
1. As much yarn as possible should be processed into sweaters. Products
should be processed further so long as the added revenues from further
processing are greater than the added costs. In the case at hand, the
added revenues and costs are:
Per Sweater
Added revenue ($30.00 – $20.00) .........
Added costs:
Buttons, thread, lining........................ $2.00
Direct labor ....................................... 5.80
Added contribution margin....................
$10.00
7.80
$ 2.20
Thus, the company will gain $2.20 in contribution margin for each spindle of yarn that is further processed into a sweater. The fixed manufacturing overhead costs are not relevant to the decision, since they will be
the same regardless of whether the yarn is sold or processed further.
Also, in making this computation we must omit the $16.00 cost of
manufacturing the yarn, since this cost will be incurred whether the yarn
is sold as is or is used in sweaters.
2. The lowest price the company should accept is $27.80 per sweater. The
simplest approach to this answer is:
Present selling price per sweater ..........
Less added contribution margin being
realized on each sweater sold ............
Minimum selling price per sweater........
$30.00
2.20
$27.80
A more involved approach to the $27.80 figure is to reason as follows:
If the wool yarn is sold outright, then the company will realize a contribution margin of $9.40 per spindle:
Per Spindle
Selling price...........................
Less variable expenses:
Raw wool ............................
Direct labor .........................
Contribution margin................

Solutions Manual, Chapter 13
839
Case 13-30 (continued)
This $9.40 represents an opportunity cost to the company; thus, the
price of the sweaters must be high enough to include this minimum contribution margin figure. In addition, the company must be able to cover
all of its variable costs from the time the raw wool is purchased until the
sweater is completed. Therefore, the minimum price would be:
Variable costs of producing a spindle of yarn:
Raw wool ................................................... $7.00
Direct labor ................................................ 3.60
Added variable costs of producing a sweater:
Buttons, etc. .............................................. 2.00

Case 13-31 (90 minutes)
1. The lowest price Wesco could bid for the one-time special order of
20,000 pounds (20 lots) without losing money would be $24,200—the
relevant cost of the order, as shown below.
Direct materials:
AG-5: 300 pounds per lot × 20 lots = 6,000 pounds. Substitute BH-3 on a one-for-one basis to its total of 3,500
pounds. If BH-3 is not used in this order, it will be salvaged
for $600. Therefore, the relevant cost is.............................. $ 600
The remaining 2,500 pounds would be AG-5 at a cost of
$1.20 per pound ............................................................... 3,000
KL-2: 200 pounds per lot × 20 lots = 4,000 pounds at $1.05

CW-7: 150 pounds per lot × 20 lots = 3,000 pounds at
$1.35 per pound ............................................................... 4,050
DF-6: 175 pounds per lot × 20 lots = 3,500 pounds. Use
3,000 pounds in inventory at $0.60 per pound ($0.70 market price – $0.10 handling charge), and purchase the remaining 500 pounds at $0.70 per pound ............................. 2,150
Total direct materials cost ..................................................... 14,000
Direct labor: 25 DLHs per lot × 20 lots = 500 DLHs. Because only 400
hours can be scheduled during regular time this month, overtime
would have to be used for the remaining 100 hours.

Case 13-31 (continued)
2. In this part, we calculate the price for recurring orders of 20,000 pounds
(20 lots) using the company’s rule of marking up its full manufacturing
cost. This is not the best pricing policy to follow, but is a common practice in business.
Direct materials: Because the initial order will exhaust existing inventories of BH-3 and DF-6 and new supplies would have to be purchased,
all raw materials should be charged at their expected future cost,
which is the current market price.
AG-5: 6,000 pounds × $1.20 per pound .............................. $ 7,200

Managerial Accounting, 11th Edition
Case 13-32 (120 minutes)
1. The product margins computed by the accounting department for the
drums and bike frames should not be used in the decision of which
product to make. The product margins are lower than they should be
due to the presence of allocated fixed common costs that are irrelevant
in this decision. Moreover, even after the irrelevant costs have been removed, what matters is the profitability of the two products in relation
to the amount of the constrained resource—welding time—that they
use. A product with a very low margin may be desirable if it uses very
little of the constrained resource. In short, the financial data provided by
the accounting department are useless and potentially misleading for
making this decision.
2. Students may have answered this question assuming that direct labor is
a variable cost, even though the case strongly hints that direct labor is a
fixed cost. The solution is shown here assuming that direct labor is
fixed. The solution assuming that direct labor is variable will be shown
in part (4).

Case 13-32 (continued)
Since the contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource (i.e., welding time) is larger for the
bike frames than for the WVD drums, the frames make the most profitable use of the welding machine.
Consequently, the company should manufacture as many bike frames as possible up to demand and
then use any leftover capacity to produce WVD drums. Buying the drums from the outside supplier can
fill any remaining unsatisfied demand for WVD drums. The necessary calculations are carried out below.

When direct labor is assumed to be a variable cost, the conclusion is reversed from the case in which direct labor is assumed to be a fixed

the bike frames. The assumption about the behavior of direct labor
really does matter.

Case 13-32 (continued)
5. The case strongly suggests that direct labor is fixed: “The bike frames
could be produced with existing equipment and personnel.” Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to examine how much labor time is really
needed under the two opposing plans.
Production
Direct LaborHours Per Unit
Total Direct
Labor-Hours
Plan 1:
Bike frames .................
WVD drums .................

0.2**
1,000
* $28.80 ÷ $18.00 per hour = 1.6 hour
** $3.60 ÷ $18.00 per hour = 0.2 hour
Some caution is advised. Plan 1 assumes that direct labor is a fixed cost.
However, this plan requires 2,160 more direct labor-hours than Plan 2
and the present situation. At 40 hours per week a typical full-time employee works about 1,900 hours a year, so the added workload is
equivalent to more than one full-time employee. Does the plant really
have that much idle time at present? If so, and if shifting workers over
to making bike frames would not jeopardize operations elsewhere, then
Plan 1 is indeed the better plan. However, if taking on the bike frame as
a new product would lead to pressure to hire another worker, more
analysis is in order. It is still best to view direct labor as a fixed cost, but
taking on the frames as a new product could lead to a jump in fixed
costs of about $34,200 (1,900 hours × $18 per hour)—assuming that
the remaining 260 hours could be made up using otherwise idle time.

Group Exercise 13-33
1. A manufacturing overhead rate of 500% of direct labor means that the
total manufacturing overhead is five times as large as the total direct labor. It also means that for every $1 of direct labor a product incurs, it is
charged for $5 of manufacturing overhead.
2. If a product requires a large amount of direct labor, the overhead applied to that product will make that product expensive relative to products that require less direct labor.
3. When products are outsourced, any common fixed manufacturing overhead or joint costs that had been allocated to the outsourced products
must be allocated to the remaining products. As a consequence, their
apparent costs rise.
4. Labor cost is a declining percentage of total cost in many industries and
approaches insignificant levels in some. Rather than obsess on reducing
labor costs, it may be better to attack overhead costs, which are much
more substantial, or to concentrate time and effort on improving the
product or tapping new markets. The potential competitive advantage
from lower labor costs is not as important as it once was and is transitory—competitors can always go overseas too. In addition, locating production overseas increases transportation costs and time delays in shipping goods and may increase coordination problems between marketing
and production. Moreover, the company may not have as much control
over quality when production is moved to a new location.
5. As mentioned in part (3) above, when products are outsourced, the apparent costs of the remaining products almost inevitably rise as fixed
overhead costs are spread over a smaller base. As a consequence, the
remaining products often become candidates for outsourcing as well. Of
course, the second wave of outsourcing leads to further increases in the
costs of the remaining products. This vicious cycle can lead managers to
eventually move all production out of the country.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) A dividend is a distribution of cash or stock by a corporation to its stockholders on a pro rata
(proportional) basis.
(b) Disagree. Dividends may take four forms: cash, property, scrip (promissory note to pay cash),
or stock.
2.
Sue DeVine is not correct. Adequate cash is only one of the conditions. In order for a cash dividend
to occur, a corporation must also have retained earnings and the dividend must be declared by
the board of directors.
3.
(a) The three dates are:
Declaration date is the date when the board of directors formally declares the cash dividend
and announces it to stockholders. The declaration commits the corporation to a binding legal
obligation that cannot be rescinded.
Record date is the date that marks the time when ownership of the outstanding shares is
determined from the stockholder records maintained by the corporation. The purpose of this
date is to identify the persons or entities that will receive the dividend.
Payment date is the date on which the dividend checks are mailed to the stockholders.
(b) The accounting entries and their dates are:
Declaration date—Debit Retained Earnings and Credit Dividends Payable.
No entry is made on the record date.
Payment date—Debit Dividends Payable and Credit Cash.
4.
The allocation of the cash dividend is as follows:
Total dividend...............................................................................................
Allocated to preferred stock
Dividends in arrears—one year.......................................................
Current year dividend ........................................................................
Remainder allocated to common stock...................................................
$45,000
$10,000
10,000
20,000
$25,000
5.
A cash dividend decreases assets, retained earnings, and total stockholders’ equity. A stock dividend
decreases retained earnings, increases paid-in capital, and has no effect on total assets and total
stockholders’ equity.
6.
A corporation generally issues stock dividends for one of the following reasons:
(1) To satisfy stockholders’ dividend expectations without spending cash.
(2) To increase the marketability of its stock by increasing the number of shares outstanding
and thereby decreasing the market price per share. Decreasing the market price of the stock
makes the shares easier to purchase for smaller investors.
(3) To emphasize that a portion of stockholders’ equity that had been reported as retained
earnings has been permanently reinvested in the business and therefore is unavailable for
cash dividends.
7.
In a stock split, the number of shares is increased in the same proportion that par value is decreased.
Thus, in the Meenen Corporation the number of shares will increase to 60,000 = (30,000 X 2)
and the par value will decrease to $5 = ($10 ÷ 2). The effect of a split on market value is generally
inversely proportional to the size of the split. In this case, the market price would fall to approximately
$60 per share ($120 ÷ 2).

9.
A prior period adjustment is a correction of an error in previously issued financial statements. The
correction is reported in the current year’s retained earnings statement as an adjustment of the
beginning balance of retained earnings.
10.
The understatement of depreciation in a prior year overstates the beginning retained earnings
balance. The retained earnings statement presentation is:
Balance, January 1, as reported ...................................................................................
Correction for understatement of prior year’s depreciation .....................................
Balance, January 1, as adjusted...................................................................................
$210,000
(50,000)
$160,000
11.
The purpose of a retained earnings restriction is to indicate that a portion of retained earnings is
currently unavailable for dividends. Restrictions may result from the following causes: legal, contractual,
or voluntary.
12.
Retained earnings restrictions are generally reported in the notes to the financial statements.
13.
The debits and credits to retained earnings are:

1.
2.
3.
4.
Credits
Net loss
Prior period adjustments for
overstatement of net income
Cash and stock dividends
Some disposals of treasury stock
1. Net income
2. Prior period adjustments for
understatement of net income
14.
Juan is incorrect. Only the ending balance of retained earnings is reported in the stockholders’
equity section.
15.
Gene should be told that although many factors affect the market price of a stock at a given time, the
reported net income is one of the most significant factors. When companies announce increases
or decreases in net income, the market price of their stock usually increases or decreases immediately.
Net income also provides an indication of the amount of dividends that a company can distribute.
In addition, net income leads to a growth in retained earnings, which is often reflected in a stock’s
market price.

Questions Chapter 14 (Continued)
16.
The unique feature of a corporation income statement is a separate section that shows income
taxes or income tax expense. The presentation is as follows:
Income before income taxes ..................................................................................................
Income tax expense.................................................................................................................
Net income.................................................................................................................................

Earnings per share means earnings per share of common stock. Preferred stock dividends are
subtracted from net income in computing EPS in order to obtain income available to common
stockholders.

The company declared dividends on common stock of $1,438 million during
the year ended December 25, 2004.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS PROBLEM
(a)
PepsiCo
Earnings
per share
$4, 078 – $3
Coca-Cola
$4, 872 – $0
= $2.44
1, 669
Return on
common
stockholders’
equity
$4, 078 – $3
= $2.04
2, 392
= 29.2%
($13, 572 + $14, 320) ÷ 2
$4, 872 – $0
= 30.2%
($15, 935 + $16, 355) ÷ 2
The return on common stockholders’ equity can be used to compare
the profitability of two companies. It shows how many dollars of net
income were earned for each dollar invested by the owners. Since this
ratio is expressed as a percent instead of a dollar amount like earnings
per share, it can be used to compare PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. During
2005, Coca-Cola was slightly (3%) more profitable than PepsiCo based
on their respective returns on common stockholders’ equity. Earnings
per share measures cannot be compared across companies because
they may use vastly different numbers of shares to finance the company.

Treating the overstatement of 2007 depreciation expense as an adjustment of 2008 income would be incorrect because it applies to the prior
year’s income statement and would distort depreciation expense for 2008.

Companies issue stock dividends instead of cash dividends to satisfy

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Dear Mom and Dad,
Thanks for calling me about your investments in Cormier Corporation and
Fegan, Inc.
The effect to you as stockholders is the same for both a stock dividend and
a stock split. In each case, the number of shares you own will increase. Following
the stock dividend, you will own 110 shares of Cormier [100 + (100 X 10%)].
After the stock split, you will own 200 shares of Fegan (100 X 2).
The total value of your investments should remain approximately the same
as before the stock dividend and stock split. The reason is that the market
value per share will likely decrease in proportion to the additional shares
that you will own. If there is a change in value, it is more likely to be higher
than lower.
The effects of the stock dividend and stock split on the corporations are
limited entirely to the stockholders’ equity sections as follows:
Stockholders’ Equity Item
After Stock Dividend
After Stock Split
Total capital stock
Par value per share
Total paid-in capital
Total retained earnings
Total stockholders’ equity
Increase
No change

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Tom Henson, president of Garcia Corporation.
Andrea Lane, financial vice-president.
The stockholders of Garcia Corporation.
(b) There is nothing unethical in issuing a stock dividend. But the president’s
order to write a press release convincing the stockholders that the
stock dividend is just as good as a cash dividend is unethical. A stock
dividend is not a cash dividend and does not necessarily place the stockholder in the same position. A stock dividend is a “paper” dividend—the
issuance of a stock certificate, not a check (cash).
(c) The stock dividend results in a decrease in retained earnings and an
increase of the same amount in paid-in capital with no change in total
stockholders’ equity. There is no change in total assets and no change
in total liabilities and stockholders’ equity.
As a stockholder, preference for a cash dividend versus a stock dividend
is dependent upon one’s investment objective—income (cash flow) or
growth (reinvestment).

Service Department Costing:
An Activity Approach
Solutions to Questions
15-1
Operating departments are the units in
an organization within which the central purposes of the organization are carried out; these
departments usually generate revenue. By contrast, service departments provide support or
assistance to the operating departments. Examples of service departments include laundry services, internal auditing, airport maintenance services (ground crews), cafeteria, personnel, cost
accounting, and so on.
15-4
15-2
15-6
Service department costs are allocated
to products and services in two stages. Service
department costs are f irst allocated to the operating departments. These allocated costs are
then included in the operating departments’
overhead rates, which are used to cost products
and services.
15-3
I nterdepartmental service costs exist
whenever two service departments perform services for each other. Under the step method, the
costs of the service department performing the
greatest amount of service for the other service
departments are allocated f irst, the costs of the
service department performing the next greatest
amount of service are allocated next, and so
forth through all the service departments. Once
a service department’s costs have been allocated, costs are not reallocated back to it under
the step method.
Under the direct method, costs are not
allocated from one service department to another. Rather, all service department costs are
allocated directly to operating departments.
15-5
I f a service department generates revenues, these revenues should be offset against
the department’s costs and only the net amount
of cost remaining after this offset should be allocated to other departments.
Two general guidelines govern the allocation of f ixed service department costs to other
departments: (1) allocate only budgeted costs,
and (2) allocate f ixed costs in predetermined,
lump-sum amounts, according to how much of
the service department’s capacity is acquired to
serve each of the other departments.
Two general guidelines also govern the
allocation of variable service department costs
to other departments: (1) allocate at budgeted
rates, and (2) allocate the costs according to
whatever activity (direct labor-hours, pounds of
laundry, etc.) causes their incurrence.
15-7
I f a variable base is used to allocate
f ixed costs, the costs allocated to one department will depend in large part on what is happening in other departments. As a consequence,
the amount of service department cost allocated
to a department will increase or decrease depending on the activity in other departments.

1. and 2.
End-of-year allocations of variable costs should be based on the actual
level of activity multiplied by the budgeted rate. End-of-year allocations
of f ixed costs should be based on the same predetermined lump-sum
amounts as at the beginning of the year. Actual costs in excess of (or
less than) the budgeted rate for variable costs or the budgeted total
f ixed costs should not be allocated to the plants. Therefore, the allocations of transport services cost at the end of the year would be:
Northern
Plant
Variable costs:
$0.25 per ton × 130,000 tons...
$0.25 per ton × 50,000 tons ....

The cost not allocated represents cost incurred in excess of the budgeted $0.25 per ton variable cost and budgeted $300,000 in f ixed costs.
This $19,000 in unallocated cost is the responsibility of the Transport
Services Department and is a cost variance for the year.

The manager of the I mperial Garden undoubtedly will be upset about the increased allocation of
f ixed administrative expense. Such an increased allocation may be viewed as a penalty for an outstanding performance.
3. Sales dollars is not ordinarily a good base for allocating f ixed costs. The departments with the greatest sales will be allocated the greatest amount of cost and the costs allocated to a department will be
affected by the sales in other departments. I n our illustration above, the sales in two restaurants remained static and the sales in the third increased. As a result, less cost was allocated to the restaurants with static sales and more cost was allocated to the one restaurant that showed improvement
during the period.

The plantwide method, which is based on direct-labor hours, assigns
very little overhead cost to the job since it requires little labor time. Assuming that Factory Administrative costs really do vary in proportion to
labor-hours, Custodial Services with square feet occupied, and so on,
the company will tend to undercost such jobs if a plantwide overhead
rate is used (and it will tend to overcost jobs requiring large amounts of
labor time). The direct method is better than the plantwide method, but
the step method will generally provide the most accurate overhead rates
of the three methods.

meal by the budgeted number of meals that will be served in each division during the month. The f ixed costs are allocated in predetermined,
lump-sum amounts based on the peak-period need for meals in each division.

The variable costs are allocated according to the budgeted rate per meal

in predetermined, lump-sum amounts, based on budgeted f ixed costs.
Any difference between budgeted and actual costs is not allocated, but
rather is treated as a spending variance of the cafeteria:

Total actual costs ..................
$128,000

$170,000
One-half of the cost, or $85,000, would be allocated to each division,
since an equal number of meals were served in each division during the
month.
4. This method has two major problems. First, the spending variances
should not be allocated, since this forces the ineff iciencies of the service
department onto the using departments. Second, the f ixed costs should
not be allocated according to month-by-month usage of services, since
this causes the allocation to one division to be affected by what happens
in another division.
5. Their strategy probably will be to underestimate their peak period requirements in order to force a greater proportion of any allocation onto
other departments. Top management can control ploys of this type by
careful follow-up, with rewards being given to those managers who estimate accurately, and severe penalties assessed against those managers who underestimate their peak period requirements. For example,
departments whose managers underestimate their peak period requirements may be denied access to the cafeteria once their estimates have
been exceeded.

Problem 15-12 (30 minutes)
1. Yes, there is merit to the complaint. The company is using a variable
base (hours of hangar use) to allocate costs that are largely f ixed. Thus,
the amount of cost that is charged to a division during a given month
will depend to a large extent on usage in other divisions. A reduction in
usage in one division can result in shifts of costs from it onto the other
divisions, even though the other divisions receive no more service.

Problem 15-12 (continued)
3. Even though the peak-period level of activity will not be reached until
the fourth quarter, it should still be used to allocate the f ixed costs of
the hangar. The reason is that peak-period requirements determine the
present level of f ixed costs. The fact that the divisions do not need a
peak-period level of servicing every quarter is immaterial. I f the divisions
require such servicing at certain times, then the capacity to deliver it
must be available, and it is the responsibility of the divisions to bear the
cost of that capacity.

Case 15-17 (continued)
b. The use of a plantwide rate is resulting in too little overhead cost being allocated to products that require a large proportion of machinehours as compared to direct labor-hours. I n part 3a above, for example, the attaché case (which requires a large proportion of machinehours) is allocated only $154,125 in overhead cost if a plantwide rate
is used, whereas it is allocated $209,380 in overhead cost if departmental rates are used. Since Hobart Products is using a plantwide
rate, it is not surprising that the company is pricing this attaché case
well below the price of competitors.
On the other hand, use of a plantwide rate is resulting in too much
overhead cost being allocated to products that require a large proportion of direct labor time as compared to machine time. This probably
accounts for the fact that Hobart’s prices for some products are well
above the prices of competitors.
4. Hobart Products could take two additional steps to improve its overhead
costing. First, it could use the step method to allocate service department overhead costs. And second, it could use activity-based costing (as
discussed earlier in the book) to assign overhead costs from operating
departments to products.

3. a. The amount of overhead cost assigned to the job would be:
Step method:
Printing department:
$6.12 per machine-hour × 15,400 machine-hours ...... $ 94,248
Binding department:
$3.90 per direct labor-hour × 2,000 direct labor-hours
7,800
Total overhead cost..................................................... $102,048
Direct method:
Printing department:
$5.84 per machine-hour × 15,400 machine-hours ......
Binding department:
$4.14 per direct labor-hour × 2,000 direct labor-hours
Total overhead cost.....................................................
$ 89,936
8,280
$ 98,216
b. The step method provides a better basis for computing predetermined overhead rates than the direct method because it gives recognition to services provided between service departments. I f this interdepartmental service is not recognized, then either too much or too
little of a service department’s costs may be allocated to a producing
department. The result will be an inaccuracy in the producing department’s predetermined overhead rate.
For example, using the direct method and ignoring interdepartmental
services causes the predetermined overhead rate in the Printing Department to fall to only $5.84 per MH (from $6.12 per MH when the
step method is used), and causes the predetermined overhead rate in
the Binding Department to rise to $4.14 per DLH (from $3.90 per
DLH when the step method is used). These inaccuracies in the predetermined overhead rate can cause corresponding inaccuracies in bids
for jobs. Since the direct method in this case understates the rate in
the Printing Department and overstates the rate in the Binding Department, it is not surprising that the company tends to bid low on
jobs requiring a lot of printing work and tends to bid too high on jobs
that require a lot of binding work.

4. & 5.
Generally speaking, the wider the range of products made or services
offered, the greater the support costs. More products and services require additional support resources for scheduling, planning, billing, shipping, and so on. As the resources demanded of the support departments increase, their costs increase as well.
6. Service department costs are reduced by decreasing spending on the
resources the service departments consume. This can be accomplished
by: (1) decreasing the activities the service departments are required to
perform—perhaps by reducing the range and complexity of products
and services offered by the company; (2) improving the business processes in the service departments so that fewer resources are required to
carry out those activities; or (3) spending less on the resources—
perhaps by negotiating for better prices from suppliers.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
The reasons corporations invest in securities are: (1) excess cash not needed for operations that
can be invested, (2) for additional earnings, and (3) strategic reasons.
2.
(a) The cost of an investment in bonds consists of all expenditures necessary to acquire the bonds,
such as the market price of the bonds plus any brokerage fees.
(b) Interest is recorded as it is earned; that is, over the life of the investment in bonds.
3.
(a) Losses and gains on the sale of debt investments are computed by comparing the amortized
cost of the securities to the net proceeds from the sale.
(b) Losses are reported in the income statement under other expenses and losses whereas gains
are reported under other revenues and gains.
4.
Olindo Company is incorrect. The gain is the difference between the net proceeds, exclusive of interest,
and the cost of the bonds. The correct gain is $4,500, or [($45,000 – $500) – $40,000].
5.
The cost of an investment in stock includes all expenditures necessary to acquire the investment.
These expenditures include the actual purchase price plus any commissions or brokerage fees.
6.
Brokerage fees are part of the cost of the investment. Therefore, the entry is:
Stock Investments .....................................................................................................
Cash ....................................................................................................................
63,200
63,200
7.
(a) Whenever the investor’s influence on the operating and financial affairs of the investee is
significant, the equity method should be used. The major factor in determining significant influence
is the percentage of ownership interest held by the investor in the investee. The general
guideline for use of the equity method is 20% or more ownership interest. Companies are required
to use judgment, however, rather than blindly follow the 20% guideline.
(b) Revenue is recognized as it is earned by the investee.
8.
Since Rijo Corporation uses the equity method, the income reported by Pippen Packing ($80,000)
should be multiplied by Rijo’s ownership interest (30%) and the result ($24,000) should be debited to
Stock Investments and credited to Revenue from Investment in Pippen Packing. Also, of the total
dividend declared and paid by Pippen ($10,000) Rijo will receive 30% or $3,000. This amount
should be debited to Cash and credited to Stock Investments.
9.
Significant influence over an investee may result from representation on the board of directors,
participation in policy-making processes, material intercompany transactions. One must also consider
whether the stock held by other stockholders is concentrated or dispersed. An investment (direct
or indirect) of 20% or more of the voting stock of an investee constitutes significant influence unless
there exists evidence to the contrary.
16-4
Questions Chapter 16 (Continued)
10.
Under the cost method, an investment is originally recorded and reported at cost. Dividends are
recorded as revenue. In subsequent periods, it is adjusted to fair value and an unrealized holding
gain or loss is recognized and included in income (trading security) or as a separate component
of stockholders’ equity (available-for-sale security). Under the equity method, the investment is
originally recorded and reported at cost; subsequently, the investment account is adjusted during
each period for the investor’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee. The investor’s
share of the investee’s earnings is recognized in the earnings of the investor. Dividends received
from the investee are reductions in the carrying amount of the investment.
11.
Consolidated financial statements present the details of the assets and liabilities controlled by the
parent company and the total revenues and expenses of the affiliated companies.
Consolidated financial statements are especially useful to the stockholders, board of directors, and
management of the parent company. Conversely, they are of limited use to minority stockholders
and the creditors of the subsidiary company.
12.
The valuation guidelines for investments is as follows:
Category
Trading
Available-for-sale
Held-to-maturity
Valuation and Reporting
At fair value with changes reported in net income
At fair value with changes reported in stockholders’ equity
At amortized cost
Investments recorded under the equity method are reported at their carrying value. The carrying
value is the cost adjusted for the investor’s share of the investee’s income and dividends received.

Questions Chapter 16 (Continued)
17.
Unrealized Loss—Equity is reported as a deduction from stockholders’ equity. The unrealized loss is
not included in the computation of net income.
18.
Reporting Unrealized Gains (Losses)—Equity in the stockholders’ equity section serves two important
purposes: (1) it reduces the volatility of net income due to fluctuations in fair value, and (2) it still
informs the financial statement user of the gain or loss that would occur if the securities were sold at
fair value.
19.
The investment in Key Corporation stock is a long-term investment because there is no intent to
convert the stock into cash within a year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.

SOLUTIONS TO EXERCISES
EXERCISE 16-1
1.
Companies purchase investments in debt or stock securities because
they have excess cash, to generate earnings from investment income, or
for strategic reasons.
2.
A corporation would have excess cash that it does not need for operations
due to seasonal fluctuations in sales and as a result of economic cycles.
3.
The typical investment when investing cash for short periods of time
is low-risk, high liquidity, short-term securities such as government-issued
securities.
4.
The typical investments when investing cash to generate earnings are
debt securities and stock securities.
5.
A company would invest in securities that provide no current cash flows
for speculative reasons. They are speculating that the investment will
increase in value.
6.
The typical investments when investing cash for strategic reasons are
stocks of companies in a related industry or in an unrelated industry that
the company wishes to enter.

EXERCISE 16-9
(a) Since Ryan owns more than 50% of the common stock of Wayne
Corporation, Ryan is called the parent company. Wayne is the subsidiary
(affiliated) company. Because of its stock ownership, Ryan has a
controlling interest in Wayne.
(b) When a company owns more than 50% of the common stock of another
company, consolidated financial statements are usually prepared.
Consolidated financial statements present the total assets and liabilities controlled by the parent company. They also present the total
revenues and expenses of the affiliated companies.
(c) Consolidated financial statements are useful because they indicate the
magnitude and scope of operations of the companies under common
control.

EXERCISE 16-11 (Continued)
(c) Dear Mr. Linquist:
Investments which are classified as trading (held for sale in the near
term) are reported at fair value in the balance sheet, with unrealized
gains or losses reported in net income. Investments which are classified as
available-for-sale (held longer than trading but not to maturity) are also
reported at fair value, but unrealized gains or losses are reported in the
stockholders’ equity section.
Fair value is used as a reporting basis because it represents the cash
realizable value of the securities. Unrealized gains or losses on trading
investments are reported in the income statement because of the likelihood that the securities will be sold at fair value in the near term.
Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported in
stockholders’ equity rather than in income because there is a significant
chance that future changes in fair value will reverse unrealized gains or
losses. So as to not distort income with these fluctuations, they are
reported directly in stockholders’ equity.
I hope that the preceding discussion clears up any misunderstandings.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Student

Re:
Analysis of Partnership vs. Corporate Form of Business
Organization
I have examined your situation regarding the establishment of your business.
Before discussing my recommendations, I would like to briefly review
the advantages and disadvantages of partnerships and corporations.
The primary advantages of a partnership over a corporation are:
1.
Partnerships are more easily formed than corporations. Partnerships
can be formed simply by the voluntary agreement of two or more
individuals. Forming a corporation requires preparing and filing documents with governmental agencies, paying incorporation fees, etc.
2.
Income from a partnership is subject to less tax than income from
a corporation. Even though partnerships are required to file information
tax returns (returns that show financial information, but do not require
any payment of taxes), they are not considered taxable entities.
A partner’s share of partnership income is taxed only on the partner’s
personal income tax return. Corporations are taxable entities and
pay taxes on corporate income. In addition, any dividends distributed
by corporations to individuals are subject to personal income tax on
the personal income tax return. This is known as double taxation.
3.
Partnerships have more flexibility in decision making. The decisionmaking process used in a partnership is determined by the partners,
whereas some decisions required in corporations must follow formal
procedures described in the bylaws of the corporation.
16-41
COMPREHENSIVE PROBLEM (Continued)
The primary advantages of a corporation over a partnership are:
1.
Mutual agency does not exist in a corporation. This means that the
owners of a corporation (stockholders) do not have the power to bind
the corporation beyond their authority. For example, a stockholder
who is not employed by the firm cannot enter into contracts or other
agreements on behalf of the corporation. Owners of a partnership
(partners) are bound by the actions of their partners, even when
partners act beyond the scope of their authority. This is true as
long as the actions seem appropriate for the business.
2.
The owners of a corporation have limited liability. When the
corporation’s assets are not sufficient to pay creditors’ claims, the personal assets of the stockholders are protected from the corporation’s
creditors. In a partnership, once the assets of the partnership have
been used to pay creditors’ claims, the personal assets of the partners can be taken to satisfy the creditors’ demands. A special type
of partnership, a limited partnership, protects the personal assets
of limited partners, but at least one partner’s assets are still at risk.
This partner is called a general partner.
3.
The life of a corporation is unlimited. When ownership changes occur
(e.g., stockholders buy or sell stock), the corporation continues to
exist as a legal entity. When ownership changes occur in a partnership (e.g., existing partner leaves, new partner is added), the old
partnership no longer exists as a legal entity. A new partnership can
be formed and the business can continue, but the original partnership
must be dissolved.
After examining your situation, I believe that you would be wise to
choose the corporate form of business organization. There are two
reasons for this recommendation. The first reason is that the venture
you are about to undertake will require significant capital and, generally,
capital is more easily raised via a corporation than a partnership. The
other reason is that you will be protected from unlimited liability if you
incorporate as opposed to forming a partnership. Given the potential
risk of starting a venture of this kind, I believe it is in your best interest to
protect your personal assets by using the corporate form of organization.
I wish you the best in your new endeavor and please call upon me when
you are in need of further assistance.

consolidated financial statement:
“Our financial statements include the consolidated accounts of PepsiCo,
Inc. and the affiliates that we control. In addition, we include our share of
the results of certain other affiliates based on our economic ownership
interest. We do not control these other affiliates as our ownership in
these other affiliates is generally less than fifty percent. Our share of
the net income of noncontrolled bottling affiliates is reported in our
income statement as bottling equity income. Bottling equity income
also includes any changes in our ownership interests of these affiliates.
In 2005, bottling equity includes $126 million of pre-tax gains on our
sales of PBG stock. See Note 8 for additional information on our noncontrolled bottling affiliates. Our share of other noncontrolled affiliates
is included in division operating profit. Intercompany balances and
transactions are eliminated.”

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
The dollar amount received upon the sale of the UMW Company stock was
$1,468,000. Since Kemper Corporation has a 30% interest in UMW, the equity
method should be used to report dividends and net income. A reconstruction of
the correct entries can be prepared for the acquisition, the equity method
treatment of dividends and revenue, and the sale. A plug figure for cash will
balance the entry for the sale. These entries are provided below.
Both the stockholder and the president are correct. Since the equity method
adjusts the investment account for the earnings of the investee, the “very
profitable” UMW investment balance has increased during the period the
stock was held. The stock was sold at less than its current investment
balance and thus a loss was recognized. Stockholder Kerwin is correct in
labeling this a very profitable company and in noting that a loss was
recognized on its sale.
President Chavez is correct in that the investment was sold at a higher
figure than the $1,300,000 purchase price. The key to the dilemma is to note
that the selling price was less than the carrying amount of the investment. The
carrying amount has increased due to the recognition of UMW income during
the time the stock was held.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Dear Mr. Scholes:
I am writing this memo to make suggestions regarding the appropriate
treatment for the two securities you are holding in your portfolio. Assuming
that your investment in Longley Corporation does not represent a significant
interest in that firm, it should be accounted for as an available-for-sale security
because it is a stock investment that you do not intend on selling in the near
future. You will not report any gains or losses on this investment in your income
statement until you sell it. On the other hand, your debt investment should
be accounted for as a trading security since you purchased it with the intent to
generate a short-term profit. Unrealized gains and losses at your balance sheet
date should be reported directly in income.
16-52
BYP 16-6
ETHICS CASE
(a) Classifying the securities as they propose will indeed have the effect on
net income that they say it will. Classifying all the gains as trading securities
will cause all the gains to flow through the income statement this year and
classifying the losses as available-for-sale securities will defer the losses
from this year’s income statement. Classifying the gains and losses just
the opposite will have the opposite effect.
(b) What each proposes is unethical since it is knowingly not in accordance
with GAAP. The financial statements are fraudulently, not fairly, stated. The
affected stakeholders are other members of the company’s officers and
directors, the independent auditors (who may detect these misstatements),
the stockholders, and prospective investors.
(c) The act of selling certain securities (those with gains or those with
losses) is management’s choice and is not per se unethical. Generally
accepted accounting principles allow the sale of selected securities so
long as the method of assigning cost adopted by the company is
consistently applied. If the officers act in the best interest of the company
and its stakeholders, and in accordance with GAAP, and not in their
self-interest, their behavior is probably ethical. Knowingly engaging in
unsound and poor business and accounting practices that waste assets
or that misstate financial statements is unethical behavior.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) The statement of cash flows reports the cash receipts, cash payments, and net change in cash
resulting from the operating, investing, and financing activities of a company during a period
in a format that reconciles the beginning and ending cash balances.
(b) Disagree. The statement of cash flows is required. It is the fourth basic financial statement.
2.
The statement of cash flows answers the following questions about cash: (a) Where did the cash
come from during the period? (b) What was the cash used for during the period? and (c) What was
the change in the cash balance during the period?
3.
The three activities are:
Operating activities include the cash effects of transactions that create revenues and expenses
and thus enter into the determination of net income.
Investing activities include: (a) purchasing and disposing of investments and productive long-lived
assets and (b) lending money and collecting loans.
Financing activities include: (a) obtaining cash from issuing debt and repaying amounts borrowed
and (b) obtaining cash from stockholders, repurchasing shares, and paying them dividends.
4.
(a) Major sources of cash in a statement of cash flows include cash from operations; issuance
of debt; collection of loans; issuance of capital stock; sale of investments; and the sale of
property, plant, and equipment.
(b) Major uses of cash include purchase of inventory, payment of cash dividends; redemption of
debt; purchase of investments; making loans; redemption of capital stock; and the purchase
of property, plant, and equipment.
5.
The statement of cash flows presents investing and financing activities so that even noncash
transactions of an investing and financing nature are disclosed in the financial statements. If they
affect financial conditions significantly, the FASB requires that they be disclosed in either a separate
schedule at the bottom of the statement of cash flows or in a separate note or supplementary
schedule to the financial statements.
6.
Examples of significant noncash activities are: (1) issuance of stock for assets, (2) conversion of
bonds into common stock, (3) issuance of bonds or notes for assets, and (4) noncash exchanges
of property, plant, and equipment.
7.
Comparative balance sheets, a current income statement, and certain transaction data all provide
information necessary for preparation of the statement of cash flows. Comparative balance sheets
indicate how assets, liabilities, and equities have changed during the period. A current income
statement provides information about the amount of cash provided or used by operations. Certain
transactions provide additional detailed information needed to determine how cash was provided
or used during the period.
8.
The advantage of the direct method is that it presents the major categories of cash receipts and
cash payments in a format that is similar to the income statement and familiar to statement users. Its
principal disadvantage is that the necessary data can be expensive and time-consuming to accumulate.
The advantage of the indirect method is it is often considered easier to prepare, and it provides
a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities. It also tends to reveal less
company information to competitors. Its primary disadvantage is the difficulty in understanding
the adjustments that comprise the reconciliation.
Both methods are acceptable but the FASB expressed a preference for the direct method. Yet,
the indirect method is the overwhelming favorite of companies.
17-5
Questions Chapter 17 (Continued)
9.
When total cash inflows exceed total cash outflows, the excess is identified as a “net increase in cash”
near the bottom of the statement of cash flows.
10.
The indirect method involves converting accrual net income to net cash provided by operating activities.
This is done by starting with accrual net income and adding or subtracting noncash items included
in net income. Examples of adjustments include depreciation and other noncash expenses, gains
and losses on the sale of noncurrent assets, and changes in the balances of current asset and
current liability accounts from one period to the next.
11. It is necessary to convert accrual-based net income to cash-basis income because the unadjusted
net income includes items that do not provide or use cash. An example would be an increase in
accounts receivable. If accounts receivable increased during the period, revenues reported on
the accrual basis would be higher than the actual cash revenues received. Thus, accrual-basis net
income must be adjusted to reflect the net cash provided by operating activities.
12.
A number of factors could have caused an increase in cash despite the net loss. These are (1) high
cash revenues relative to low cash expenses; (2) sales of property, plant, and equipment; (3) sales
of investments; (4) issuance of debt or capital stock, and (5) differences between cash and accrual
accounting, e.g. depreciation.
13.
Depreciation expense.
Gain or loss on sale of a noncurrent asset.
Increase/decrease in accounts receivable.
Increase/decrease in inventory.
Increase/decrease in accounts payable.
14. Under the indirect method, depreciation is added back to net income to reconcile net income to net
cash provided by operating activities because depreciation is an expense but not a cash payment.
15. The statement of cash flows is useful because it provides information to the investors, creditors,
and other users about: (1) the company’s ability to generate future cash flows, (2) the company’s ability
to pay dividends and meet obligations, (3) the reasons for the difference between net income and
net cash provided by operating activities, and (4) the cash investing and financing transactions
during the period.
16. This transaction is reported in the note or schedule entitled “Noncash investing and financing activities”
as follows: “Retirement of bonds payable through issuance of common stock, $1,700,000.”
*17. A worksheet is desirable because it allows the accumulation and classification of data that will
appear on the statement of cash flows. It is an optional but efficient device that aids in the preparation of the statement of cash flows.
*18. Net cash provided by operating activities under the direct approach is the difference between cash
revenues and cash expenses. The direct approach adjusts the revenues and expenses directly
to reflect the cash basis. This results in cash net income, which is equal to “net cash provided by
operating activities.”

17-9
BRIEF EXERCISE 17-11
Free cash flow is cash provided by operations less capital expenditures and cash
dividends paid. For Radar Inc. this would be $384,000 ($734,000 – $280,000 –
$70,000). Since it has positive free cash flow that far exceeds its dividend, an
increase in the dividend might be possible. However, other factors should be
considered. For example, it must have adequate retained earnings, and it
should be convinced that a larger dividend can be sustained over future
years. It should also use the free cash flow to expand its operations or pay
down its debt.

(c) PepsiCo uses the indirect method of computing and presenting the net
cash provided by operating activities.
(d) The change in accounts and notes receivable required cash of $272
million in 2005. The change in inventories required cash of $132 million
in 2005. The change in accounts payable (and other current liabilities)
provided cash of $188 million in 2005.
(e) The net cash used by investing activities in 2005 was $3,517 million.
(f)
The supplemental disclosure of cash flow information disclosed interest
paid of $213 million and income taxes paid of $1,258 million in 2005.

EXPLORING THE WEB
(a) Crucial to the SEC’s effectiveness is its enforcement authority. Each
year the SEC brings between 400–500 civil enforcement actions against
individuals and companies that break the securities laws. Typical
infractions include insider trading, accounting fraud, and providing
false or misleading information about securities and the companies
that issue them.
(b) The main purposes of these laws can be reduced to two common-sense
notions:
Companies publicly offering securities for investment dollars must
tell the public the truth about their businesses, the securities they
are selling, and the risks involved in investing.
People who sell and trade securities—brokers, dealers, and exchan-
ges—must treat investors fairly and honestly, putting investors’
interests first.
(c) President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed Joseph P. Kennedy,
President John F. Kennedy’s father, to serve as the first Chairman of
the SEC.

(b) From the information given, it appears that from an operating standpoint,
Carpino Company did not have a superb first year, having suffered a
$30,000 net loss. Lisa is correct; the statement of cash flows is not
prepared in correct form. The sources and uses format is no longer the
acceptable form. The correct format classifies cash flows from three
activities—operating, investing, and financing; and it also presents
significant noncash investing and financing activities in a separate
schedule. Lisa is wrong, however, about the actual increase in cash not
being $105,000; $105,000 is the correct increase in cash.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
MEMO
To:
Kyle Benson
From:
Student
Re:
Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows provides information about the cash receipts
and cash payments of a firm, classified as operating, investing, and financing
activities. The operating activities section of the company’s statement of cash
flows shows that cash increased by $172,000 as a result of transactions which
affected net income. This amount is computed by adjusting net income for
those items which affect net income, but do not affect cash, such as sales
on account which remain uncollected at year-end.
The investing activities section of the statement reports cash flows resulting
from changes in investments and other long-term assets. The company
had a cash outflow from investing activities due to purchases of buildings
and equipment.
The financing activities section of the statement reports cash flows resulting
from changes in long-term liabilities and stockholders’ equity. The company
had a cash inflow from financing activities due to the issuance of common
stock and an outflow due to the payment of cash dividends.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

BYP 17-7
ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Willie Morton, president of Tappit Corporation.
Robert Jennings, controller.
The Board of Directors.
The stockholders of Tappit Corporation.
(b) The president’s statement, “We must get that amount above $1 million,”
puts undue pressure on the controller. This statement along with his
statement, “I know you won’t let me down, Robert,” encourages Robert
to do something unethical.
Controller Robert Jennings’ reclassification (intentional misclassification)
of a cash inflow from a long-term note (financing activity) issuance to an
“increase in payables” (operating activity) is inappropriate and unethical.
(c) It is unlikely that any board members (other than board members who are
also officers of the company) would discover the misclassification. Board
members generally do not have detailed enough knowledge of their
company’s transactions to detect this misstatement. It is possible that an
officer of the bank that made the loan would detect the misclassification
upon close reading of Tappit Corporation’s statement of cash flows. It
is also possible that close scrutiny of the balance sheet showing an
increase in notes payable (long-term debt) would reveal that there is
no comparable financing activity item (proceeds from note payable) in
the statement of cash flows.

BYP 17-8
ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
(a) The article describes three factors that determine how much money
you should set aside. (1) Your willingness to take risk. You need to evaluate
how willing you are to experience wide swings in your financial position.
(2) Your needs. Your need to carefully evaluate your situation and evaluate
the possibility of various events and what the financial implications
would be. This is also impacted by the number of dependents you have.
(3) Your upcoming expenses. Here you need to look further out into the
horizon and consider the implications of larger events such as a big trip,
a wedding, or education costs.
(b) They recommend having at least three months of living expenses set
aside, and up to six months.
(c) Responses to this question will vary. What is most important is that
students begin the process of considering their cash needs and
developing a plan to set aside enough money to provide a cushion in
the event of a financial “hiccup.”

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Juan is not correct. There are three characteristics: liquidity, profitability, and solvency.
(b) The three parties are not primarily interested in the same characteristics of a company. Short-term
creditors are primarily interested in the liquidity of the enterprise. In contrast, long-term creditors
and stockholders are primarily interested in the profitability and solvency of the company.
2.
(a)
3.
Horizontal analysis (also called trend analysis) measures the dollar and percentage increase or
decrease of an item over a period of time. In this approach, the amount of the item on one statement
is compared with the amount of that same item on one or more earlier statements. Vertical analysis
expresses each item within a financial statement in terms of a percent of a base amount.
4.
(a) $360,000 X 1.245 = $448,200, 2009 net income.
(b) $360,000 ÷ .06 = $6,000,000, 2008 revenue.
5.
A ratio expresses the mathematical relationship between one quantity and another. The relationship
is expressed in terms of either a percentage (200%), a rate (2 times), or a simple proportion (2:1).
Ratios can provide clues to underlying conditions that may not be apparent from individual financial
statement components. The ratio is more meaningful when compared to the same ratio in earlier
periods or to competitors’ ratios or to industry ratios.
6.
(a) Liquidity ratios: Current ratio, acid-test ratio, receivables turnover, and inventory turnover.
(b) Solvency ratios: Debt to total assets and times interest earned.
7.
Cindy is correct. A single ratio by itself may not be very meaningful and is best interpreted by
comparison with: (1) past ratios of the same company, (2) ratios of other companies, or (3) industry
norms or predetermined standards. In addition, other ratios of the enterprise are necessary to
determine overall financial well-being.
8.
(a) Liquidity ratios measure the short-term ability of the enterprise to pay its maturing obligations
and to meet unexpected needs for cash.
(b) Profitability ratios measure the income or operating success of a company for a given period of time.
(c) Solvency ratios measure the ability of the company to survive over a long period of time.
Comparison of financial information can be made on an intracompany basis, an intercompany
basis, and an industry average basis (or norms).
(1) An intracompany basis compares an item or financial relationship within a company in
the current year with the same item or relationship in one or more prior years.
(2) The industry averages basis compares an item or financial relationship of a company
with industry averages (or norms) published by financial rating services.
(3) An intercompany basis compares an item or financial relationship of one company with
the same item or relationship in one or more competing companies.
(b) The intracompany basis of comparison is useful in detecting changes in financial relationships
and significant trends within a company.
The industry averages basis provides information as to a company’s relative performance
within the industry.
The intercompany basis of comparison provides insight into a company’s competitive position.
18-4
Questions Chapter 18 (Continued)
9.
The current ratio relates current assets to current liabilities. The acid-test ratio relates cash, short-term
investments, and net receivables to current liabilities. The current ratio includes inventory and
prepaid expenses while the acid-test ratio excludes these. The acid-test ratio provides additional
information about short-term liquidity and is an important complement to the current ratio.
10.
Donte Company does not necessarily have a problem. The receivables turnover ratio can be
misleading in that some companies encourage credit and revolving charge sales and slow collections
in order to earn a healthy return on the outstanding receivables in the form of high rates of interest.
11.
(a) Asset turnover.
(b) Inventory turnover.
(c) Return on common stockholders’ equity.
(d) Times interest earned.
12.
The price earnings (P/E) ratio is a reflection of investors’ assessments of a company’s future
earnings. In this question, investors favor Microsoft because it has the higher P/E ratio. The investors
feel that Microsoft will be able to generate even higher future earnings and so the investors are
willing to pay more for the stock.
13.
The payout ratio is cash dividends paid divided by net income. In a growth company, the payout ratio
is often low because the company is reinvesting earnings in the business.
14.
(a) The increase in profit margin is good news because it means that a greater percentage of net
sales is going towards income.
(b) The decrease in inventory turnover signals bad news because it is taking the company longer
to sell the inventory and consequently there is a greater chance of inventory obsolescence.
(c) An increase in the current ratio signals good news because the company improved its ability
to meet maturing short-term obligations.
(d) The earnings per share ratio is a deceptive ratio. The decrease might be bad news to the
company because it could mean a decrease in net income. If there is an increase in stockholders’
investment (as a result of issuing additional shares) and a decrease in EPS, then this means
that the additional investment is earning a lower return (as compared to the return on common
equity before the additional investment). Generally, this is undesirable.
(e) The increase in the price-earnings ratio is generally good news because it means that the
market price per share of stock has increased and investors are willing to pay that higher
price for the stock. An increase in the P/E ratio is good news for investors who own the stock
and don’t want to buy any more. It is bad news for investors who want to buy (or buy more of)
the stock.
(f) The increase in the debt to total assets ratio is bad news because it means that the company
has increased its obligations to creditors and has lowered its equity “buffer.”
(g) The decrease in the times interest earned ratio is bad news because it means that the company’s
ability to meet interest payments as they come due has weakened.

Questions Chapter 18 (Continued)
Net Income
Return on assets =
Average Assets
(7.6%)
15.
Net Income – Preferred Dividends
Return on common stockholders’ equity =
Average Common Stockholde rs' Equity
(12.8%)
The difference between the two rates can be explained by looking at the denominator value and
by remembering the basic accounting equation, A = L + SE. The asset value will clearly be the larger
of the two denominator values; therefore, it will also give the smaller return.
16.
(a)
17.
Earnings per share means earnings per share of common stock. Preferred stock dividends are
subtracted from net income in computing EPS in order to obtain income available to common
stockholders.
18.
(a) Trading on the equity means that the company has borrowed money at a lower rate of interest
than it is able to earn by using the borrowed money. Simply stated, it is using money supplied
by nonowners to increase the return to the owners.
(b) A comparison of the return on total assets with the rate of interest paid for borrowed money
indicates the profitability of trading on the equity.
19.
The times interest earned ratio, which is an indication of the company’s ability to meet interest
payments, and the debt to total assets ratio, which indicates the company’s ability to withstand
losses without impairing the interests of creditors.
(b) The current ratio and the acid-test ratio, which indicate a company’s liquidity and short-term
debt-paying ability.
(c) The earnings per share and the return on stockholders’ equity, both of which indicate the earning
power of the investment.
Net income – Preferred dividends
= Earnings per share
Weighted average common shares outstandin g
$160,000 – $40,000
50,000
= $2.40
EPS of $2.40 is high relative to what? Is it high relative to last year’s EPS? The president may be
comparing the EPS of $2.40 to the market price of the company’s stock.
20.
Discontinued operations refers to the disposal of a significant component of the business such as
the stopping of an entire activity or eliminating a major class of customers. It is important to report
discontinued operations separately from continuing operations because the discontinued component
will not affect future income statements.
21.
EPS on income before extraordinary items usually is more relevant to an investment decision
than EPS on net income. Income before extraordinary items represents the results of continuing
and ordinary business activity. It is therefore a better basis for predicting future operating results
than an EPS figure which includes the effect of extraordinary items that are not expected to recur
again in the foreseeable future.
18-6
Questions Chapter 18 (Continued)
22.
Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence.
Therefore, an extraordinary item is a one-time item which is not typical of the company’s operations.
When comparing EPS trends, extraordinary items should be omitted since they are not reflective
of normal operations. In this example, the trend is unfavorable because EPS, exclusive of extraordinary
items, has decreased from $3.20 to $2.99
23.
Items (a), (d), and (g) are extraordinary items.
24.
(1) Use of alternative accounting methods. Variations among companies in the application of
generally accepted accounting principles may hamper comparability.
(2) Use of pro forma income measures that do not follow GAAP. Pro forma income is calculated
by excluding items that the company believes are unusual or nonrecurring. It is often difficult
to determine what was included and excluded.
(3) Improper revenue and expense recognition. Many high-profile cases of inappropriate accounting
involve recording items in the wrong period.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 18-1
Dear Uncle Frank,
It was so good to hear from you! I hope you and Aunt Irene are still enjoying
your new house.
You asked some interesting questions. They relate very well to the material
that we are studying now in my financial accounting class. You said you
heard that different users of financial statements are interested in different
characteristics of companies. This is true. A short-term creditor, such as a bank,
is interested in the company’s liquidity, or ability to pay obligations as they
become due. The liquidity of a borrower is extremely important in evaluating
the safety of a loan. A long-term creditor, such as a bondholder, would be
interested in solvency, the company’s ability to survive over a long period
of time. A long-term creditor would also be interested in profitability. They
are interested in the likelihood that the company will survive over the life of the
debt and be able to meet interest payments. Stockholders are also interested
in profitability, and in the solvency of the company. They want to assess the
likelihood of dividends and the growth potential of the stock.
It is important to compare different financial statement elements to other
items. The amount of a financial statement element such as cash does not have
much meaning unless it is compared to something else. Comparisons can
be done on an intracompany basis. This basis compares an item or financial
relationship within a company for the current year to one or more previous
years. Intracompany comparisons are useful in detecting changes in financial
relationships and significant trends. Comparisons can also be done with
industry averages. This basis compares an item or financial relationship
with industry averages or norms. Comparisons with industry averages provide
information as to a company’s relative performance within the industry. Finally,
comparisons can be done on an intercompany basis. This basis compares
an item or financial relationship with the same item or relationship in one or more
competing companies. Intercompany comparisons are useful in determining
a company’s competitive position.
I hope this answers your questions. If it does not, or you have more questions,
please write me again or call. We could even meet for lunch sometime; it
would be great to see you!
Love,
Your niece (or nephew)

BRIEF EXERCISE 18-2
(a) The three tools of financial statement analysis are horizontal analysis,
vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. Horizontal analysis evaluates a series
of financial statement data over a period of time. Vertical analysis evaluates financial statement data by expressing each item in a financial
statement as a percent of a base amount. Ratio analysis expresses the
relationship among selected items of financial statement data.

BRIEF EXERCISE 18-7
Comparing the percentages presented results in the following conclusions:
The net income for Epstein increased in 2008 because of the combination
of an increase in sales and a decrease in both cost of goods sold and expenses.
However, the reverse was true in 2009 as sales decreased while both cost of
goods sold and expenses increased. This resulted in a decrease in net income.

(b) To:
Chief Accountant
From: Your name, Independent Auditor
After reviewing your income statement for the year ended 10/31/08, we
believe it is misleading for the following reasons:
The amount reported for income before extraordinary items is overstated
by $45,000. The income tax expense should be 30% of $540,000, or
$162,000, not $117,000.
Also, the effect of the extraordinary loss on net income is only $105,000,
not $150,000. An income tax savings of $45,000 should be netted against
the extraordinary loss.

(b) The underlying profitability of the corporation appears to have improved.
For example, profit margin and earnings per share have both increased.
In addition, the corporation’s price-earnings ratio has increased, which
suggests that investors may be looking more favorably at the corporation.
Also, the corporation appears to be involved in attempting to reduce
its debt burden as its debt to total assets ratio has decreased. Similarly,
its payout ratio has decreased, which should help its overall solvency.

Liquidity—Target’s current ratio of 1.7:1 is significantly better than
Wal-Mart’s .9:1. However, Wal-Mart has a better inventory turnover ratio
than Target and its receivables turnover is substantially better than Target’s.
Solvency—Wal-Mart betters Target in both of the solvency ratios. Thus, it
is more solvent than Target.
Profitability—With the exception of asset turnovers, Target betters
Wal-Mart in all of the profitability ratios. Thus, it is more profitable than
Wal-Mart.

Although creditors are providing more than 55% of PepsiCo’s total assets,
its long-term solvency is not in jeopardy. PepsiCo has the ability to pay
the interest on its debt as indicated by the times interest earned ratio
of about 26 in 2005.
(d) Substantial amounts of important information about a company are not

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
The current ratio increase is a favorable indication as to liquidity, but
alone tells little about the going-concern prospects of the client. From
this ratio change alone, it is impossible to know the amount and direction
of the changes in individual accounts, total current assets, and total
current liabilities. Also unknown are the reasons for the changes.
The acid-test ratio decrease is an unfavorable indication as to liquidity,
especially when the current-ratio increase is also considered. This decline
is also unfavorable as to the going-concern prospects of the client because
it reflects a declining cash position and raises questions as to reasons
for the increases in other current assets, such as inventories.
The change in asset turnover cannot alone tell anything about either
solvency or going-concern prospects. There is no way to know the amount
and direction of the changes in sales and assets. An increase in sales
would be favorable for going-concern prospects, while a decrease in
assets could represent a number of possible scenarios and would need to
be investigated further.
The increase in net income is a favorable indicator for both solvency
and going-concern prospects, although much depends on the quality of
receivables generated from sales and how quickly they can be converted
into cash. If there has been a decline in sales, a significant factor is that
management has been able to reduce costs to produce an increase in
earnings. Indirectly, the improved income picture may have a favorable
impact on solvency and going-concern potential by enabling the client
to borrow currently (if it needs to do so) to meet cash requirements.
The 32-percent increase in earnings per share, which is identical to the
percentage increase in net income, is an indication that there has probably
been no change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding.
This, in turn, indicates that financing was not obtained through the issuance of common stock. It is not possible to reach conclusions about
solvency and going-concern prospects without additional information
about the nature and extent of financing.
18-44
BYP 18-4 (Continued)
The increase in the book value per share is a favorable indicator for both
solvency and the going-concern potential of the company.
The collective implications of these data alone are that the client entity
is about as solvent and as viable a going concern at the end of the current
year as it was at the beginning although there may be a need for short-term
operating cash.

operations of $28.8 million ($51.6 – $22.8). Therefore, the average
number of common shares outstanding during the year is 47.2 million

Subject:
Financial Statement Analysis
There are two fundamental considerations in financial statement analysis:
(1) the bases of comparison and (2) the factors affecting quality of earnings.
Each of these considerations is explained below.
1.
2.
Bases of comparison. The bases of comparison are:
a.
Intracompany—This basis compares an item or financial relationship
within a company in the current year with the same item or relationship in one or more prior years.
b.
Industry averages—This basis compares an item or financial relationship of a company with industry averages (or norms).
c.
Intercompany—This basis compares an item or financial relationship
of one company with the same item or relationship in one or more
competing companies.
Factors affecting quality of earnings are:
a.
Alternative accounting methods—Variations among companies in
the application of generally accepted accounting principles may
hamper comparability and reduce quality of earnings.
b.
Pro forma income—This income figure usually excludes items that
the company thinks are unusual or nonrecurring.
c.
Improper recognition—Because some managers have felt pressure
from investors to continually increase earnings, they have manipulated the earnings numbers to meet these expectations.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this case are:
Jack McClintock, president of McClintock Industries.
Jeremy Phelps, public relations director.
You, as controller of McClintock Industries.
Stockholders of McClintock Industries.
Potential investors in McClintock Industries.
Any readers of the press release.
(b) The president’s press release is deceptive and incomplete and to that
extent his actions are unethical.
(c) As controller you should at least inform Jeremy, the public relations
director, about the biased content of the release. He should be aware
that the information he is about to release, while factually accurate, is
deceptive and incomplete. Both the controller and the public relations
director (if he agrees) have the responsibility to inform the president of
the bias of the about to be released information.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Disagree. Managerial accounting is a field of accounting that provides economic and financial
information for managers and other internal users.
(b) Mary is incorrect. Managerial accounting applies to all types of businesses—service, merchandising,
and manufacturing.
2.
(a)
(b)
(c)
3.
Financial accounting is concerned primarily with external users such as stockholders, creditors,
and regulators. In contrast, managerial accounting is concerned primarily with internal users such
as officers and managers.
Classified financial statements are the end product of financial accounting. The statements are
prepared quarterly and annually. In managerial accounting, internal reports may be prepared daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually, or as needed.
The purpose of financial accounting is to provide general-purpose information for all users.
The purpose of managerial accounting is to provide special-purpose information for a particular
user for a specific decision.
Differences in the content of the reports are as follows:
Financial
Managerial
• Pertains to business as a whole and is highly
aggregated.
• Limited to double-entry accounting and cost
data.
• Generally accepted accounting principles.
• Pertains to subunits of the business and
may be very detailed.
• May extend beyond double-entry accounting
system to any relevant data.
• Standard is relevance to decisions.
In financial accounting, financial statements are verified annually through an independent audit
by certified public accountants. There are no independent audits of internal reports issued by
managerial accountants.
4.
Budgets are prepared by companies to provide future direction. Because the budget is also used
as an evaluation tool, some managers try to game the budgeting process by underestimating
their division’s predicted performance so that it will be easier to meet their performance targets.
On the other hand, if the budget is set at unattainable levels, managers sometimes take unethical
actions to meet targets to receive higher compensation or in some cases to keep their jobs.
5.
Karen should know that the management of an organization performs three broad functions:
(1) Planning requires management to look ahead and to establish objectives.
(2) Directing involves coordinating the diverse activities and human resources of a company to
produce a smooth-running operation.
(3) Controlling is the process of keeping the company’s activities on track.
6.
Disagree. Decision making is not a separate management function. Rather, decision making involves
the exercise of good judgment in performing the three management functions explained in the
answer to question five above.
7.
CEOs and CFOs must now certify that financial statements give a fair presentation of the company’s
operating results and its financial condition and that the company maintains an adequate system
of internal controls. In addition, the composition of the board of directors and audit committees receives
more scrutiny, and penalties for misconduct have increased.

The differences between income statements are in the computation of the cost of goods sold as
follows:
Manufacturing
company:
Beginning finished goods inventory plus cost of goods manufactured minus
ending finished goods inventory = cost of goods sold.
Merchandising
company:
Beginning merchandise inventory plus cost of goods purchased minus ending
merchandise inventory = cost of goods sold.
The difference in balance sheets pertains to the presentation of inventories in the current asset
section. In a merchandising company, only merchandise inventory is shown. In a manufacturing
company, three inventory accounts are shown: finished goods, work in process, and raw materials.
10.
Manufacturing costs are classified as either direct materials, direct labor, or manufacturing overhead.
11.
No, Matt is not correct. The distinction between direct and indirect materials is based on two criteria:
(1) physical association and (2) the convenience of making the physical association. Materials which
can not be easily associated with the finished product are considered indirect materials.
12.
Product costs, or inventoriable costs, are costs that are a necessary and integral part of producing
the finished product. Period costs are costs that are identified with a specific time period rather
than with a salable product. These costs relate to nonmanufacturing costs and therefore are not
inventoriable costs.
13.
A merchandising company has beginning merchandise inventory, cost of goods purchased, and
ending merchandise inventory. A manufacturing company has beginning finished goods inventory,
cost of goods manufactured, and ending finished goods inventory.

The value chain refers to all activities associated with providing a product or service. For a manufacturer, this includes research and development, product design, acquisition of raw materials, production,
sales and marketing, delivery, customer relations, and subsequent service.
x = total cost of work in process.
x = cost of goods manufactured.

Questions Chapter 19 (Continued)
20.
In a just-in-time inventory system the company has no extra inventory stored. Consequently, if
some units that are produced are defective, the company will not have enough units to deliver to
customers.
21.
The balanced scorecard is called “balanced” because it strives to not over emphasize any one
performance measure, but rather uses both financial and non-financial measures to evaluate all
aspects of a company’s operations in an integrated fashion.
22.
Activity-based costing is an approach used to allocate overhead based on each product’s relative
use of activities in making the product. Activity-based costing is beneficial because it results in
more accurate product costing and in more careful scrutiny of all activities in the value chain.

BRIEF EXERCISE 19-2
One implication of SOX was to clarify top management’s responsibility for
the company’s financial statements. CEOs and CFOs must now certify that
financial statements give a fair presentation of the company’s operating results and its financial condition. In addition, top management must certify
that the company maintains an adequate system of internal controls to
safeguard the company’s assets and ensure accurate financial reports. Also,
more attention is now paid to the composition of the company’s board of
directors. In particular, the audit committee of the board of directors must
be comprised entirely of independent members (that is, non-employees) and
must contain at least one financial expert. Finally, to increase the likelihood
of compliance with these and other new rules, the penalties for misconduct
were substantially increased.

Statement Presentation of Accounts
Two accounts will appear in the income statement. Cost of Goods Sold
will be deducted from net sales in determining gross profit. Selling expenses will be shown under operating expenses and will be deducted
from gross profit in determining net income. Sometimes, the calculation
for Cost of Good Sold is shown on the income statement. In these cases,
the balance in Finished Goods inventory would also be shown on the
income statement.
The other accounts associated with the head lamps are inventory accounts which contain end-of-period balances. Thus, they will be reported
under inventories in the current assets section of the balance sheet in
the following order: finished goods, work in process, and raw materials.

PROBLEM 19-3A
(a) Case 1
A = $7,600 + $5,000 + $8,000 = $20,600
$20,600 + $1,000 – B = $17,000
B = $20,600 + $1,000 – $17,000 = $4,600
$17,000 + C = $18,000
C = $18,000 – $17,000 = $1,000
D = $18,000 – $3,400 = $14,600
E = ($24,500 – $2,500) – $14,600 = $7,400
F = $7,400 – $2,500 = $4,900
Case 2
G + $8,000 + $4,000 = $18,000
G = $18,000 – $8,000 – $4,000 = $6,000
$18,000 + H – $3,000 = $22,000
H = $22,000 + $3,000 – $18,000 = $7,000
(I – $1,400) – K = $7,000
(I – $1,400) – $22,800 = $7,000
I = $1,400 + $22,800 + $7,000 = $31,200
(Note: Item I can only be solved after item K is solved.)
J = $22,000 + $3,300 = $25,300
K = $25,300 – $2,500 = $22,800

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
Ending Raw Materials Inventory
Beginning raw materials + Raw materials purchased
= Raw materials available for use
= $19,000 + $345,000 = $364,000
Raw materials available for use – Ending raw materials inventory
= Direct materials used
$364,000 – Ending raw materials inventory = $350,000
Ending raw materials inventory = $364,000 – $350,000 = $14,000
Ending Work in Process Inventory
Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= Total manufacturing costs
= $350,000 + $240,000 + ($240,000 X 60%) = $734,000
Beginning work in process inventory + Total manufacturing costs
= Total cost of work in process
= $25,000 + $734,000 = $759,000
Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory
= Cost of goods available for sale
Cost of goods manufactured + $38,000 = $770,000
Cost of goods manufactured = $770,000 – $38,000 = $732,000
Total cost of work in process – Ending work in process inventory
= Cost of goods manufactured
$759,000 – Ending work in process inventory = $732,000
Ending work in process inventory = $759,000 – $732,000 = $27,000
Ending Finished Goods Inventory
Sales – Cost of goods sold = Gross profit
$1,260,000 – Cost of goods sold = $1,260,000 X 40%
Cost of goods sold = $1,260,000 – $504,000 = $756,000
Cost of goods available for sale – Ending finished goods inventory
= Cost of goods sold
$770,000 – Ending finished goods inventory = $756,000

REAL-WORLD FOCUS
The factors that affect the cost of products are direct materials, direct labor,
and manufacturing overhead. The percentage increase of total cost of products
sold to net sales of 1.7% during the year appears to be entirely due to net
increases in costs.
The current year events and their possible impact on the three manufacturing
cost elements are as follows:
Operational problems at a major furnace. The principal effect is on manufacturing
overhead due to higher maintenance costs. The problems may also have
resulted in higher direct labor costs and higher direct materials because of
the malfunctioning of the furnace.
Higher downtime and costs and expenses associated with capital improvement
projects. Higher downtime causes higher indirect labor. Costs associated
with capital improvement projects impact product costs through depreciation
which is part of manufacturing overhead.
Increases in labor and other manufacturing costs. The increases in labor
resulted in higher direct labor costs. The increases in indirect labor costs
and in other manufacturing costs resulted in higher manufacturing overhead.
Reduced fixed costs. Fixed costs such as insurance and rent are classified
as manufacturing overhead. Thus, this factor reduced overhead costs during
the year.
Productivity and efficiency gains. This factor could have resulted in reductions
of both direct material and direct labor costs.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Ms. Sue Tombert
President
Agler Company
Dear Sue:
As you requested, I corrected the income statement for October from the
information you gave me. The corrected statement is enclosed and it shows
that you actually earned net income of $9,000 for October. I also noticed
that you did not have a cost of goods manufactured schedule, so I prepared
one for you.
The income statement your assistant accountant prepared was not correct for
two primary reasons. First, product costs were not separated from selling and
administrative expenses. Second, and more importantly, the reported net loss
did not reflect changes in inventories. This had the effect of treating these
costs as expenses rather than assets. A reconciliation of the reported net loss
of $23,000 to net income of $9,000 is as follows:
Net loss as reported...............................................................
Increase (decrease) in inventories
Raw materials ($34,000 – $18,000) ........................... $16,000
Work in process ($14,000 – $16,000).......................
(2,000)
Finished goods ($48,000 – $30,000) ........................
18,000
Total increase.........................................................
Net income as corrected ......................................................
$(23,000)
(32,000
$ (9,000
The changes in raw materials and work in process inventories are reported
in the cost of goods manufactured schedule. You will see, for example, that
the cost of direct materials used was $248,000, not $264,000 as reported by
your accountant in the income statement. The difference is the change in raw
materials inventories. Similarly, you will see that the $2,000 decrease in work
in process inventories increases total manufacturing costs of $570,200 to
produce cost of goods manufactured of $572,200.
The change in finished goods inventories is reported in the income statement. Notice that the change of $18,000 is subtracted from cost of goods
manufactured of $572,200 to produce cost of goods sold of $554,200.
19-43
BYP 19-5 (Continued)
I have also modified the form of the income statement to recognize the distinction between product costs (cost of goods sold) and period costs (operating
expenses) as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Thanks for letting me help. If I can be of further assistance, don’t hesitate to
call. I hope you find a replacement for your controller soon.

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
•
•
•
•
The users of Robbin Industries’ financial statements.
Wayne Terrago, controller.
The vice-president of finance.
The president of Robbin Industries.
(b) The ethical issues in this situation pertain to the adherence to sound
and acceptable accounting principles. Intentional violation of generally
accepted accounting principles in order to satisfy a practical short-term
personal or company need and thus create misleading financial statements
would be unethical. Selecting one acceptable method of accounting
and reporting among other acceptable methods is not necessarily unethical.
(c) Ethically, the management of Robbin Industries should be trying to report
the financial condition and results of operations as fairly as possible;
that is, in accordance with GAAP. Wayne should inform management
what is acceptable accounting and what is not. The basic concept to
be supported in this advertising cost transaction is matching costs
and revenues. Normally, advertising costs are expensed in the period
in which they are incurred because it is very difficult to associate them
with specific revenues.

BYP 19-7
ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
Student responses will vary. We have provided some basic examples that
may represent common responses.
(a) Individuals must often make purchase decisions which involve choosing
between an item that has a more expensive initial purchase price, but
is expected to either last longer, or provides some form of cost savings.
The question that the individual faces is whether the cost savings or
additional benefit justifies the additional initial cost. For example, more
expensive dishwashers and refrigerators also tend to be more energy
efficient. The labels on these appliances provide information regarding
the energy savings which can be used to make a break-even evaluation.
(b) In order to increase control over their financial situation and reduce the
probability of financial hardship all people should prepare personal budgets. Preparation of a personal budget requires the individual to plan for
the future and to prioritize expenditures.
(c) Companies employ the balanced scorecard as a mechanism to ensure
that their financial goals are consistent with their efforts. Use of the
balanced scorecard requires clear articulation of goals, priorities and
strategies. By employing these same techniques in their everyday life individuals can be better assured that they will expend effort on those things
that really matter to them, rather than wasting efforts on less important
distractions.
(d) Capital budgeting involves financial evaluation of long-term assets. Companies routinely make capital budgeting decisions, but so do individuals.
The purchase of a home or car is a decision that has implications for your
finances for many subsequent years. Buying a house or car is a very
personal decision, influenced by many personal, nonfinancial, preferences.
However, these decisions should also be subjected to a financial
evaluation using capital budgeting techniques to ensure that the choice
makes good economic sense.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Cost accounting involves the measuring, recording, and reporting of product costs. A cost
accounting system consists of manufacturing cost accounts that are fully integrated into the
general ledger of a company.
(b) An important feature of a cost accounting system is the use of a perpetual inventory system
that provides immediate, up-to-date information on the cost of a product.
2.
(a) The two principal types of cost accounting systems are: (1) job order costing and (2) process
costing. Under a job order cost system, costs are assigned to each job or batch of goods; at
all times each job or batch of goods can be separately identified. A job order cost system
measures costs for each completed job, rather than for set time periods. Under a process cost
system, product-related costs are accumulated by or assigned to departments or processes
for a set period of time. Job order costing lends itself to specific, special-order manufacturing
or servicing while process costing is better suited to similar, large-volume products and continuous
process manufacturing.
(b) A company may use both types of systems. For example, General Motors uses process costing
for standard model cars and job order costing for custom-made vehicles.
3.
A job order cost system is most likely to be used by a company that receives special orders, or
custom builds, or produces heterogeneous, nontransferable items or products; that is, the product
manufactured or the service rendered is tailored to the customer or client’s requests, needs, or
situation. Examples of industries that use job order systems are custom home builders, commercial
printing companies, motion picture companies, construction contractors, repair shops, accounting
and law firms, hospitals, shipbuilders, and architects.
4.
A process cost system is most likely to be used by manufacturing firms with continuous production
flows usually found in mass production, assembly line, large-volume, uniform, or relatively similar
product industries. Companies producing appliances, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, rubber and tires,
plastics, cement, petroleum, and automobiles utilize process cost systems.
5.
The major steps in the flow of costs in a job order cost accounting system are: (1) accumulating the
manufacturing costs incurred and (2) assigning the accumulated costs to work done.
6.
The three inventory control accounts and their subsidiary ledgers are:
Raw materials inventory—materials inventory records (stores ledger cards).
Work in process inventory—job cost sheets.
Finished goods inventory—finished goods records.
7.
The source documents used in accumulating direct labor costs are time tickets and time cards.
8.
Disagree. Entries to Manufacturing Overhead are also made at the end of an accounting period.
For example, there will be adjusting entries for factory depreciation, property taxes, and insurance.
9.
The source document for materials is the materials requisition slip and the source document for
labor is the time ticket. The entries are:

Manufacturing Overhead

Questions Chapter 20 (Continued)
10.
The purpose of a job cost sheet is to record the costs chargeable to a specific job and to determine
the total and unit costs of the completed job.
11.
The source documents for charging costs to specific jobs are materials requisition slips for direct
materials, time tickets for direct labor, and the predetermined overhead rate for manufacturing
overhead.
12.
A materials inventory record, also called the stores ledger card, is used in a perpetual inventory system
as a record of individual parts, units, assemblies, or other materials (direct as well as indirect).
The materials inventory record is the basic inventory record in the subsidiary ledger. The materials
requisition slip is a business document used as an authorization to issue materials from inventory
to production. It is approved and signed by authorized personnel so that materials may be removed
from inventory and charged to production, to specific jobs, departments, or processes. The materials
requisition slip is the basis for posting to the materials inventory records and to the job cost sheet.
13.
Disagree. Actual manufacturing overhead cannot be determined until the end of a period of time.
Consequently, there could be a significant delay in assigning overhead and in determining the
total cost of the completed job.
14.
The relationships for computing the predetermined overhead rate are the estimated annual overhead
costs and an expected activity base such as direct labor hours. The rate is computed by dividing
the estimated annual overhead costs by the expected annual operating activity.
15.
At any point in time, the balance in Work in Process Inventory should equal the sum of the costs
shown on the job cost sheets of unfinished jobs. Alternatively, posting to Work in Process Inventory
may be compared with the sum of the postings to the job cost sheets for each of the manufacturing
cost elements.
16.
Tina is incorrect. There is a difference in computing total manufacturing costs. In job order costing,
manufacturing overhead applied is used, whereas in Chapter 19, actual manufacturing overhead
is used.
17.
Underapplied overhead means that the overhead assigned to work in process is less than the
overhead incurred. Overapplied overhead means that the overhead assigned to work in process
is greater than the overhead incurred. Manufacturing Overhead will have a debit balance when
overhead is underapplied and a credit balance when overhead is overapplied.
18.
Under- or overapplied overhead is not closed to Income Summary. The balance in Manufacturing
Overhead is eliminated through an adjusting entry. Under- or overapplied overhead generally is
considered to be an adjustment of Cost of Goods Sold.

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
(a) The manufacturing cost element that is responsible for the fluctuating
unit costs is manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead is being
included as incurred rather than being applied on a predetermined basis.
Direct materials and direct labor are not the cause as they have the
same unit cost per batch in each quarter.
(b) The solution is to apply overhead using a predetermined overhead rate
based on a relevant basis of production activity. Based on actual overhead
incurred and using batches of product TC-1 as the activity base, the
overhead rate is $15,000 per batch [($105,000 + $123,000 + $97,000 +
$125,000) ÷ 30]. Another approach would be to use direct labor cost as the
relevant basis to apply overhead on a predetermined basis. For example,
a rate of 125% of direct labor cost ($450,000 ÷ $360,000) could be used.
Either approach will provide the same result.
(c) The quarterly results using a predetermined overhead rate based on
batches produced are as follows:
Quarter

Direct labor

(b) Both the income statement and the balance sheet are affected. In the

Expense is overstated, and net income is overstated. The error
causes the underapplied overhead to be overstated or the overapplied
overhead to be understated. This affects Cost of Goods Sold, since
the over- or underapplied balance is closed out to Cost of Goods
Sold. The error in Cost of Goods Sold also has an effect on Retained
Earnings. Also, Retained Earnings is overstated because of the overstatement of net income, and Income Taxes Payable is overstated.

(b) Both the income statement and balance sheet are affected. If units
that were in process during the month have been sold, then in the
income statement Cost of Goods Sold is overstated, Income Tax
Expense is understated, and net income is understated. This causes
the Retained Earnings and Income Taxes Payable in the balance
sheet to be understated. Also the error causes underapplied overhead
to be understated or overapplied overhead to be overstated. This
affects Cost of Goods Sold, since the over- or underapplied balance
is closed out to Cost of Goods Sold. The error in Cost of Good Sold
also has an affect on Retained Earnings.

REAL-WORLD FOCUS
(a) The advantages of job order costing include the following:
1.
Accurate costing results because actual costs of direct materials
and direct labor are assigned to each job.
2.
A comparison of actual costs with costs estimated in the company’s
bid provides a basis for controlling job costs and improving operating
efficiency.
3.
Cost data on specific jobs may be useful to management in bidding
on similar jobs in the future.
4.
Accurate costs are assigned to work in process and finished goods
inventories.
5.
Job costing enables management to assess the relationship of the
cost of goods sold for each job to the sales price of each job. The
reciprocal of this relationship is the gross profit on each job. Improving
these relationships is an important factor in increasing net income.
(b) Products in job order costing are usually custom-made to customer
specifications so that a sale is assured prior to the start of the manufacturing process. Specific products include cruise ships, presidential
limousines, buildings, homes, wedding invitations, and graduation and
birth announcements.
Products in process costing are relatively homogeneous such as
boxes of cereal, bottles and cans of soda, jars of peanut butter, quarts of
motor oil, and automobiles. The manufacture of the product is continuous
to ensure that adequate inventories of finished products are available
at all times.

EXPLORING THE WEB
(a) Candidates for the CMA or CFM Certificate must complete two continuous
years of professional experience in management accounting or financial
management. This requirement may be completed prior to or within seven
years of passing the examination.
(b) CMAs, CFMs, and candidates who have successfully completed all parts
of a certification program must maintain their professional competence
through a regular program of continuing professional education. To
remain in good standing with the Institute of Certified Management
Accountants, 30 hours of continuing education must be completed
each year subsequent to passing the exam. Reporting of continuing
education is done in conjunction with renewal of IMA membership.
Credit will be given for subjects relevant to the CMA’s or CFM’s career
development and related to employer needs. Such qualifying subjects
include: management accounting, financial management, corporate
taxation, computer science, systems analysis, statistics, management
skills, insurance, marketing, and business law.

Dear Ms. Werly:
Thank you for your prompt payment! I am very glad that you found the cost
information helpful.
Thank you also for your questions about our overhead costs. We do try to
provide our customers with as much information as possible, but we cannot
give detailed information on overhead costs. The cost of providing such information is prohibitive.
You asked why we do not use actual overhead costs when we bill our customers. We estimate overhead costs, rather than use actual costs, for several
reasons. One of the most important for you is that we could not prepare
bills in a timely manner if we had to use actual overhead. We would have to
wait until we were billed for such things as electricity and telephone service.
A second reason is that some costs we include in overhead are only payable
once or twice a year, such as insurance and taxes. When we use an estimated
rate, we are able to allow for those costs. A third reason is that some costs
are fixed, which means that they stay the same in dollar amount from
month to month. This category includes items such as rent. If we billed you
based on our actual costs, you would be billed a higher amount if your
work was done during a slow time (because we would have fewer jobs to
spread the costs over). An estimated overhead rate allows us to level out
these costs.
20-41
BYP 20-5 (Continued)
I hope this answers some of your questions. I’m glad you are interested in
our company and that you took the time to write. I am sending a copy of our
annual report under separate cover. It contains some details on the information
you asked about.
Thanks again for your letter and for having Newberry make your new cabinets!

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Betty Keiser, controller for SEK Printing.
The president of SEK Printing.
The customers of SEK Printing.
The competitors of SEK Printing.
(b) Padding cost-plus contracts is both unethical and illegal. Betty is
faced with an ethical dilemma. She will be in trouble with the president
if she doesn’t follow his directive, and she will be committing an unethical
act if she does follow his instructions.
(c) Betty should continue to accurately account for cost-plus contracts
and, if challenged by the president, she should say that she is doing
her very best to charge each and every legitimate cost to the cost-plus
contracts. Let the president perform the unethical act if he continues to
persist in padding costs.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Process cost.
Process cost.
Job order.
Job order.
2.
The primary focus of job order cost accounting is on the individual job. In process cost accounting, the
primary focus is on the processes involved in producing homogeneous products.
3.
The similarities are: (1) all three manufacturing cost elements—direct materials, direct labor, and
overhead—are the same; (2) the accumulation of the costs of materials, labor, and overhead is
the same; and (3) the flow of costs is the same.
4.
The features of process cost accounting are: (1) separate work in process accounts for each
process, (2) production cost reports, (3) product costs computed for each accounting period, and
(4) unit costs computed based on total manufacturing costs.
5.
Mel is correct. The flow of costs is the same in process cost accounting as in job order cost accounting.
The method of assigning costs, however, is significantly different.
6.
(a) (1) Materials are charged to production on the basis of materials requisition slips.
(2) Labor is usually charged to production on the basis of the payroll register or departmental
payroll summaries.
(b) The criterion used in assigning overhead to processes is to identify the activity that “drives” or
causes the cost. In many companies this activity is machine time, not direct labor.
7.
The entry to assign overhead to production is:

8.
To prepare a production cost report, four steps are followed: (a) compute the physical unit flow,
(b) compute equivalent units of production, (c) compute unit costs of production, and (d) prepare a cost
reconciliation schedule.
9.
Physical units to be accounted for consist of units in process at the beginning of the period plus
units started (or transferred) into production during the period. Units accounted for consist of units
completed and transferred out during the period plus units in process at the end of the period.
10.
Equivalent units of production measure the work done during the period, expressed in fully completed units.
11.
Equivalent units are the sum of: (1) units completed and transferred out and (2) equivalent units
of ending work in process.
12.
Units started into production were 9,600, or (9,000 + 600).

(a)
(b)
The cost of the units transferred out is $126,000, or (14,000 X $9).
The cost of the units in ending inventory is $9,000, or [(2,000 X $3) + (500 X $6)].
16.
(a)
(b)
Eve is incorrect. The report is an internal report for management.
There are four sections in a production cost report: (1) number of physical units, (2) equivalent
units determination, (3) unit costs, and (4) cost reconciliation schedule.
17.
The production cost report provides the basis for evaluating: (1) the productivity of a department,
(2) whether unit and total costs are reasonable, and (3) whether management’s predetermined
production and cost goals are being met.
18.
The per unit conversion cost is $8.75. [Conversion costs = $6,000 – $3,200 = $2,800. Equivalent units
for conversion costs are 320 (800 X 40%); $2,800 ÷ 320 = $8.75.]
19.
Operations costing is similar to process costing in that standardized methods are used to manufacture
the product. At the same time, the product may have some individual features that require the use
of a job order cost system.
20.
In deciding which system to use, a cost-benefit tradeoff occurs. In a job order system, detailed
information related to the cost of the product is involved. The cost of implementing this system is
often expensive. In a process cost system, an average cost of the product will suffice and therefore
the cost to implement is less. In summary, the cost of implementing the system must be balanced
against the benefits provided from the additional information.
21.
(a)
(b)
Just-in-time processing has a “just-in-time” philosophy and a “pull” approach.
There are three important elements in JIT processing:
(1) A company must have dependable suppliers who are willing to deliver on short notice exact
quantities of raw materials according to precise quality specifications.
(2) A multiskilled workforce must be developed.
(3) A total quality control system must be established.

Questions Chapter 21 (Continued)

(a)
The principal differences are:
(1) Primary focus
(2) Bases of allocation
(3) Total product costs
(b)
23.
Traditional Costing
Units of production
Single unit-level bases
Direct materials plus direct labor
plus manufacturing overhead
There are two assumptions that must be met in using ABC:
(1) All overhead costs related to the activity must be driven by the cost driver used to assign
costs to products.
(2) All overhead costs related to the activity should respond proportionally to changes in the
activity level of the cost driver.
An appropriate cost driver for each activity is:
Activity
Materials handling
Machine setups
Factory machine maintenance
Factory supervision
Quality control
*24.
Activity-Based Costing
Activities performed in making
products
Multiple cost drivers
Sum of costs of activities
performed in making product
Cost Driver
Number of requisitions
Number of setups
Machine hours used
Number of employees
Number of inspections
(a)
ABC involves the following steps:
(1) Identify the major activities that pertain to the manufacture of specific products.
(2) Accumulate manufacturing overhead costs by activities.
(3) Identify the cost driver(s) that accurately measure(s) each activity’s contribution to the
finished product.
(4) Assign manufacturing overhead costs for each activity to products using the cost driver(s).
(b)
The principal advantages of ABC are:
(1) More accurate product costing is achieved.
(2) Control over overhead costs is enhanced.
(3) Better management decisions can be made in: (a) setting selling prices, (b) deciding
whether to discontinue or expand a product line, and (c) deciding whether to make or buy
a product component.

Re:
Ending inventory
The reason for any confusion related to your department’s ending inventory
quantity stems from the fact that the quantity can be measured in two different
ways, depending on what the information is used for.
The ending inventory quantity can be measured in physical units or equivalent
units. Physical units are actual units present without regard to the stage of
completion. Your department’s ending inventory in physical units is at least
double the amount reported as equivalent units.
Equivalent units measure the work done on the physical units, expressed
in terms of fully completed units. Therefore, if your ending inventory contains
4,000 units which are 50% complete, that is equivalent to having 2,000 completed units at month end. Therefore, the ending inventory could be expressed
as containing 4,000 physical units or 2,000 equivalent units.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. Please contact me if you have
any further questions.

Re:
Benefits of activity-based costing (ABC)
ABC focuses on the activities performed in producing a product. Overhead
costs are assigned to products based on cost drivers that measure the
activities performed on the product.
The primary benefit of ABC is more accurate and meaningful product
costing. This improved cost data can lead to reduced costs as managers
become more aware of the underlying causes of cost incurrence. Thus,
control over costs is enhanced.
The improved cost data should also lead to better management decisions.
More accurate product costing should contribute to setting selling prices
which will achieve desired profitability levels. In addition, it should be
helpful in deciding whether to discontinue or expand a product line or
in deciding whether to make or buy a product component.

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
(a) The unit cost suggests that Sid took the highest total costs and divided
these costs by the units started into production. The highest total costs
would be the total costs charged to the Mixing Department ($88,000 +
$573,000 + $769,000) divided by the units started during July (91,000
gallons), which results in a per unit cost of $15.71 ($1,430,000 ÷ 91,000).
(b) The principal errors made by Sid were: (1) he did not compute equivalent
units of production; (2) he did not use the weighted-average costing
method; and (3) he did not assign costs to ending work-in-process.

MANAGERIAL ANALYSIS
(a) The unit cost of materials is $140 ($420,000 ÷ 3,000).
(b) The materials cost of the goods transferred out is $350,000 (2,500 X
$140). Conversion costs, therefore, are $250,000 ($600,000 – $350,000),
and per unit conversion cost is $100 ($250,000 ÷ 2,500).
(c) There are 500 units in ending work-in-process inventory (3,000 started –
2,500 transferred out). The materials cost is $70,000 (500 X $140). Thus,
the conversion costs in the inventory are $30,000. $30,000 divided by
$100 per unit conversion cost equals 300 equivalent units or 60% (300 ÷
500) complete.

Carol Gorden, Regional Sales Manager

Student, Accounting Manager
Re:
Production Cost Reports
Carol, congratulations again on your promotion! It’s going to be great
working with you. It kind of reminds me of our days at Dairy-Freeze after
school (although this work is more fun, and it certainly pays better!).
I’ll try to clear up some of the questions you raised in your fax. Here in the
Snack Foods Division we use process costing rather than the job order
system that Special Projects uses. The reason for this is that we produce
all our products in a more or less continuous process, even when we run
occasional special orders. You see, all our workers are assigned a particular
part of the process to control. One might be in charge of making sure the
mixing machines work properly, while another verifies the weight of the
finished products. Whichever job a worker is assigned, he or she stays
with it to completion, or at least the completion of that particular process.
That’s different from what you had in Special Projects, where workers moved
from job to job. That’s why we don’t usually track the orders separately. Our
special orders are for various quantities of the foods we produce, so only
the Packing Department needs to be concerned with the particular set of
products shipped to the particular customer—which is its ordinary concern
anyway.
Your next question was about what an equivalent unit is. Well, you know already
that Special Projects bids on various jobs, and then costs are recorded
when the jobs are complete. The costs accumulated on jobs that aren’t
complete are reflected in Work in Process inventory. We in Snack Foods
can’t use that method for a simple reason—we produce our products in
huge batches that we keep going fairly continuously. Or, in other words, we
don’t have a “job” that we can record as “complete.” A batch may contain
enough of our product to fill thirty or more orders, so we may have thirty or
more “jobs” in each batch. One job may happen to be filled from two batches.
Since the cost of each batch is about the same, it isn’t worth keeping track
of separately.
21-49
BYP 21-4 (Continued)
At the end of the month, we need to record what we finished and what still
remains undone. Equivalent units are the way we measure the amount of
work we have done on our work in process. It’s kind of like comparing the
contents of 4-ounce cups with the contents of 12-ounce cups. It doesn’t
make sense to compare by counting the number of cups you have. You
need to find out how many ounces you have in one set; then you can get a
meaningful comparison with the ounces you have in the other set. We
compare by the number of “units” of materials or labor that are required to
finish a product completely. If it requires 12 ounces of flour and 15 minutes
of labor for a finished bag of pretzels, for example, then the 12 ounces and
15 minutes are “finished equivalents.” If we have enough pretzels to fill
30 bags, but we’ve only spent 5 minutes (or 1/3 of the total required) of labor
on them at the end of the month, we could have used the same amount
of time and completely finished 10 bags. Thus, we have the “equivalent” of
10 bags worth of labor.
Your last question is the easiest to answer. You get four reports because we
use four processes here in Snack Foods Division. Each process has to report
its status at the end of every month. It’s kind of like we have four miniature
factories, each reporting “completion” of a certain number of products. The
products from one department are used as raw materials for other departments, so we have a chain of reports. Notice that the units and costs transferred out of Process 1 are the same as the units and costs transferred in to
Process 2, and so on.
I hope this helps. Call, write, or email me any time!

ETHICS CASE
(a) The stakeholders in this situation are:
Sue Wooten, molding department head.
Fred Barando, quality control inspector.
Customers of R. B. Patrick Company.
The department manager of the assembly department.
(b) Fred is placed in an ethical dilemma. He can offend his department head
by disregarding Sue’s instructions and lose the support of his supervisor,
and maybe lose his job. He can follow Sue’s instructions and be in violation
of company policy. He can also report Sue’s instructions to supervisors
(plant superintendent or vice-president of production). The company
should make the position of quality control inspector responsible to
someone other than the department head. Fred should not report to Sue.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) Cost behavior analysis is the study of how specific costs respond to changes in the level of activity
within a company.
(b) Cost behavior analysis is important to management in planning business operations and in deciding
between alternative courses of action.
2.
(a) The activity index identifies the activity that causes changes in the behavior of costs. Once the
index is determined, it is possible to classify the behavior of costs in response to changes in
activity levels into three categories: variable, fixed, or mixed.
(b) Variable costs may be defined in total or on a per-unit basis. Variable costs in total vary directly
and proportionately with changes in the activity level. Variable costs per unit remain the
same at every level of activity.
3.
Fixed costs remain the same in total regardless of changes in the activity level. In contrast, fixed costs
per unit vary inversely with activity. As volume increases, fixed costs per unit decline and vice versa.
4.
(a) The relevant range is the range of activity that a company expects to operate during the year.
(b) Disagree. The behavior of both fixed and variable costs are linear only over a certain range
of activity.
5.
This is true. Most companies operate within the relevant range. Within this range, it is possible to
establish a linear (straight-line) relationship for both variable and fixed costs. If a relevant range
cannot be established, segregation of costs into fixed and variable becomes extremely difficult.
6.
Apartment rent is fixed because the cost per month remains the same regardless of how much
Ryan uses the apartment. Rent on a Hertz rental truck is a mixed or semivariable cost because
the cost usually includes a per diem charge (a fixed cost) plus an activity charge based on miles
driven (a variable cost).
7.
For CVP analysis, mixed costs must be classified into their fixed and variable elements. One approach
to the classification of mixed costs is the high-low method.
8.
Variable cost per unit is $1.20, or ($60,000 ÷ 50,000). At any level of activity, fixed costs are $52,000
per month [$160,000 – (90,000 X $1.20)].
9.
No. Only two of the basic components of cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, unit selling prices and
variable cost per unit, relate to unit data. The other components, volume and total fixed costs, are
not based on per-unit amounts.
10.
There is no truth in Jill’s statement. Contribution margin is sales less variable costs. It is the revenue
that remains to cover fixed costs and to produce income (profit) for the company.
11.
Contribution margin is $12 ($40 – $28). The contribution margin ratio is 30% ($12 ÷ $40).
12.
Disagree. Knowledge of the break-even point is useful to management in deciding whether to introduce
new product lines, change sales prices on established products, and enter new market areas.
13.
$25,000 ÷ 25% = $100,000
22-4
Questions Chapter 22 (Continued)
*14.
(a) The breakeven point involves the plotting of three lines over the full range of activity: the total
revenue line, the total fixed cost line, and the total cost line. The breakeven point is determined at the intersection of the total revenue and total cost lines.
(b) The breakeven point in units is obtained by drawing a vertical line from the breakeven point to the
horizontal axis. The breakeven point in sales dollars is obtained by drawing a horizontal line from
the breakeven point to the vertical axis.
*15.
Margin of safety is the difference between actual or expected sales and sales at the breakeven
point. 1,250 X $12 = $15,000; $15,000 – $12,000 = $3,000; $3,000 ÷ $15,000 = 20%.
*16.
At breakeven sales, the contribution margin is:
$180,000
$600,000
= 30%
The sales volume to achieve net income of $60,000 is as follows:
$180,000 + $60,000
.30
*17.
= $800,000

*18.
Under absorption costing, both variable and fixed manufacturing costs are considered to be
product costs. Under variable costing, only variable manufacturing costs are product costs and
fixed manufacturing costs are expensed when incurred.
*19.
(a) The rationale for variable costing centers on the purpose of fixed manufacturing costs, which
is to have productive facilities available for use. Since these costs are incurred whether a
company operates at zero or 100% capacity, it is argued that they should be expensed
when they are incurred. Variable costing is useful in product costing internally by management
and it is useful in controlling manufacturing costs.
(b) Variable costing cannot be used in product costing in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles because it does not comply with the matching
principle and thus understates inventory costs.

SOLUTIONS TO BRIEF EXERCISES
BRIEF EXERCISE 22-1
Indirect labor is a variable cost because it increases in total directly and
proportionately with the change in the activity level.
Supervisory salaries is a fixed cost because it remains the same in total regardless of changes in the activity level.
Maintenance is a mixed cost because it increases in total but not proportionately
with changes in the activity level.

Re:
Absorption and variable costing
Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is a product cost,
while under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is a period cost
(expensed as incurred).
Since units produced (50,000) exceeded units sold (47,000) last month, income
under absorption costing will be higher than under variable costing. Some
fixed overhead (3,000 units X $3 = $9,000) will be assigned to ending inventory
and therefore not expensed under absorption costing, whereas all fixed
overhead is expensed under variable costing. Therefore, absorption costing
net income will be higher than variable costing net income by $9,000.

(a) The determination as to whether a cost is variable, fixed, or mixed can
be made by comparing the cost in total and on a per-unit basis at two
different levels of production.

Re:
Assumptions underlying CVP analysis
CVP analysis is a useful tool in analyzing the effects of changes in costs
and volume on a company’s profits. However, there are some assumptions
which underline CVP analysis. When these assumptions are not valid,
the results of CVP analysis may be inaccurate.
The five assumptions are:
1. The behavior of both costs and revenues is linear throughout
the relevant range of the activity index.
2. All costs can be classified with reasonable accuracy as either
fixed or variable.
3. Changes in activity are the only factors that affect costs.
4. All units produced are sold.
5. When more than one type of product is sold, the sales mix will
remain constant.
If you want further explanation of any of these assumptions, please
contact me.

PROBLEM 22-3A
(a) Sales were $2,400,000, variable expenses were $1,560,000 (65% of sales),
and fixed expenses were $980,000. Therefore, the breakeven point in
dollars is:
$980,000
= $2,800,000
.35
(b) 1.
The effect of this alternative is to increase the selling price per unit
to $4.80 ($4 X 120%). Total sales become $2,880,000 (600,000 X $4.80).
Thus, the contribution margin ratio changes to 46% [($2,880,000 –
$1,560,000) ÷ $2,880,000]. The new breakeven point is:
$980,000
= $2,130,435 (rounded)
.46
2.
The effects of this alternative are to change total fixed costs to
$830,000 ($980,000 – $150,000) and to change the contribution
margin to 30% [($2,400,000 – $1,560,000 – $120,000) ÷ $2,400,000].
The new breakeven point is:
$830,000
= $2,766,667 (rounded)
.30
3.
The effects of this alternative are variable and fixed cost of goods sold
become $1,134,000 and $966,000 respectively. As a result, total
variable cost becomes $1,254,000 ($1,134,000 + $72,000 + $48,000)
and total fixed cost becomes $1,286,000 ($966,000 + $168,000 +
$152,000). The new breakeven point is:
X = ($1,254,000 ÷ $2,400,000)X + $1,286,000
X = .52X + $1,286,000
.48X = $1,286,000
X = $2,679,167 (rounded)
Alternative 1 is the recommended course of action because it has the
lowest breakeven point.
22-22
PROBLEM 22-4A
(a) Current breakeven point: $40X = $22X + $270,000
(where X = pairs of shoes)
$18X = $270,000
X = 15,000 pairs of shoes
New breakeven point:
$38X = $22X + ($270,000 + $34,000)
$16X = $304,000
X = 19,000 pairs of shoes
(b) Current margin of safety percentage =
(20,000 X $40) – (15,000 X $40)
(20,000 X $40
0)
= 25%
New margin of safety percentage
=

The proposed changes will raise the breakeven point 4,000 units. This
is a significant increase. Margin of safety is 4% lower and net income
is $10,000 lower. The recommendation is to not accept the proposed
changes.

The break-even point in dollars declined from $1,904,000 to $1,515,152.
This means that overall the company’s risk has declined because it
doesn’t have to generate as much in sales. The two changes actually
had opposing effects on the break-even point. By changing to a more
commission based approach to compensating its sales staff the
company reduced its fixed costs, and therefore reduced its break-even
point. In contrast, the purchase of the new equipment increased the
company’s fixed costs (by increasing its equipment depreciation) and
reduced its variable direct labor cost, both of which would increase the
break-even point.

*PROBLEM 22-6A (Continued)
(2)
In 2009, with absorption costing $2,450,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed
as part of cost of goods sold. This includes the fixed manufacturing overhead for 2009 of
$2,100,000 plus $350,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead from 2008 that was included in
the beginning inventory for 2009.
(d) Income is more sensitive to change in sales under variable costing as
seen in the increase in income from operations in 2009 when 1,000
additional units were sold. In contrast, under absorption costing, income
is also strongly influenced by production as seen in the higher income
from operations in 2008 when production exceeded sales by 1,000 units.

(a) Sales were $1,500,000 and variable expenses were $900,000, which
means contribution margin was $600,000 and CM ratio was 40%. Fixed
expenses were $760,000. Therefore, the breakeven point in dollars is:
$760,000
= $1,900,000
.40
(b) 1.
The effect of this alternative is to increase the selling price per unit
to $30 ($25 X 120%). Total sales become $1,800,000 (60,000 X $30).
Thus, the contribution margin ratio changes to 50% ($900,000 ÷
$1,800,000). The new breakeven point is:
$760,000
= $1,520,000

The effects of this alternative are to change total fixed costs to

to .34 [($1,500,000 – $900,000 – $90,000) ÷ $1,500,000]. The new
breakeven point is:
$590,000

3.
The effects of this alternative are: (1) variable and fixed cost of
goods sold become $600,000 each, (2) total variable costs become
$720,000 ($600,000 + $65,000 + $55,000), and (3) total fixed costs
are $940,000 ($600,000 + $275,000 + $65,000). The new breakeven
point is:
X = ($720,000 ÷ $1,500,000)X + $940,000
X = .48X + $940,000
.52X = $940,000

Alternative 1 is the recommended course of action using breakeven
analysis because it has the lowest breakeven point.

No, the changes should not be made because net income will be lower
than the net income currently earned. In addition, the breakeven point
would be higher by 5,000 units and the margin of safety percentage would
decrease from 25% to 19%.

The break-even point in dollars declined from $2,580,000 to $1,897,297.
This means that overall the company’s risk has declined because it
doesn’t have to generate as much in sales. The two changes actually
had opposing effects on the break-even point. By changing to a more
commission based approach to compensating its sales staff the
company reduced its fixed costs, and therefore reduced its break-even
point. In contrast, the purchase of the new equipment increased the
company’s fixed costs (by increasing its equipment depreciation) and
reduced its variable direct labor cost, both of which would increase the
break-even point.

In 2009, with absorption costing $1,320,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed
as part of cost of goods sold. This includes the fixed manufacturing overhead for 2009 of
$1,100,000 plus $220,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead from 2008 that was included in
the beginning inventory for 2009.
(d) Income is more sensitive to changes in sales under variable costing as
seen in the increase in income from operations in 2009 when 10,000
additional units were sold. In contrast, under absorption costing,
income is also strongly affected by changes in production as seen in
the higher income from operations in 2008 when production exceeded
sales by 10,000 units.

(c) Gagliano should employ the capital-intensive manufacturing method if
annual sales are expected to exceed 242,500 units and the labor-intensive
manufacturing method if annual sales are not expected to exceed
242,500 units. The labor-intensive method is more profitable for sales up
to 242,500 units because the fixed costs are lower. The capital-intensive
method is more profitable for sales above 242,500 units because its
contribution margin is higher.

REAL-WORLD FOCUS
(a) Sweeteners and packaging are a variable cost to Coca-Cola because
their use is directly proportional to the amount of product produced. If
the unit cost of a variable cost item increases, the contribution margin
will decline. This will lead to a decline in net income unless the company
can increase its selling price, increase the number of units it sells, or
reduce other costs.
(b) This description makes the marketing expenditures sound like they are
a variable cost, since it suggests that they vary with the amount of units
sold. However, unlike variable costs, the relationship of marketing costs
is not directly proportional to sales, since other factors also influence
units sold. Thus, it is not a pure variable cost. However, it is also not a
fixed cost, in that there usually is a relationship between marketing
expenditures and sales. For CVP purposes, it might best be handled as
a mixed cost, having both a fixed and variable component.
(c) The first measure, gallon shipments of concentrates and syrups, is the
activity index, since it best reflects the company’s production and sales
activity at the wholesale level, its primary line of business. The second
measure, unit cases of finished product, indicates the amount of
activity by Coke’s primary customers, the bottlers. Coke also keeps
track of this since it provides information about what is happening at
the retail level.

EXPLORING THE WEB
(a) The description of the production process is as follows:
The production of hard candy begins with the blending, cooking, and
kneading of ingredients. Workers add flavoring and coloring when the
candy is kneaded. The candy is then pressed out and a roll of thick
chocolate is placed in the middle of the candy. Workers then roll each
end of the product over the middle to form a pillow shape. The roll is
stretched by hand at the chicken bone machine so that the width of the
roll is the width of the average chicken bone, a difficult procedure.
Next, the elongated roll is fed into the cutting machine. The end result
is a candy which tastes of sweet cinnamon and has a luscious surprise
of chocolate in the middle.
(b) The following costs might be identified as variable: labor (stretching
chicken bones, feeding into cutting machine), materials (flavoring, coloring,
chocolate).
The following costs might be identified as fixed: depreciation of machinery,
indirect labor, and utilities.

Cost-Volume-Profit Questions
In response to your request for help, I provide you the following:
(a) The mathematical formula for breakeven sales is:
Breakeven Sales = Variable Costs + Fixed Costs
Breakeven sales in dollars is found by expressing variable costs as a
percentage of unit selling price. For example, if the percentage is 70%,
the breakeven formula becomes X = .70X + Fixed Costs. The answer will
be in sales dollars.
Breakeven sales in units is found by using unit selling price and unit
variable costs in the formula. For example, if the selling price is $300
and variable costs are $210, the breakeven formula becomes $300X =
$210X + Fixed Costs. The answer will be in sales units.
(b) The formulas for contribution margin per unit and contribution margin
ratio differ as shown below:
Unit Selling Price – Unit Variable Costs = Contribution Margin per Unit
Contribution Margin per Unit ÷ Unit Selling Price = Contribution Margin Ratio
You can see that CM per Unit is used in computing the CM ratio.
(c) When contribution margin is used to determine breakeven sales, total
fixed costs are divided by either the contribution margin ratio or contribution margin per unit. Using the CM ratio results in determining the
breakeven point in dollars. Using CM per unit results in determining
the breakeven point in units.
22-45
BYP 22-5 (Continued)
The formula for determining breakeven sales in dollars is:
Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio = Breakeven Sales in Dollars
The formula for determining breakeven sales in units is:

ALL ABOUT YOU ACTIVITY
(a)
The variable gasoline cost of going one mile in the hybrid car would
be $0.075 ($3.00/40). The variable gasoline cost of going one mile in
the traditional car would be $0.10 ($3.00/30).
(b)
The savings per mile of driving the hybrid vehicle would be $0.025
($0.10 – $0.075).
(c)
In order to break-even on your investment you would need to drive
120,000 miles. This is determined by dividing the additional fixed cost
of $3,000 by the contribution margin per mile of $0.025.
(d)
There are many other factors that you would want to consider in your
analysis. For example, do the vehicles differ in their expected repair
bills, insurance costs, licensing fees, or ultimate resale value. Also, some
states and some employers offer rebates for the purchase of hybrid
vehicles. In addition, your decision might be influenced by non-financial
factors, such as a desire to reduce emissions.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1.
(a) A budget is a formal written statement of management’s plans for a specified future time
period, expressed in financial terms.
(b) A budget aids management in planning because it represents the primary means of communicating agreed-upon objectives throughout the organization. Once adopted, a budget becomes
an important basis for evaluating performance.
2.
The
(1)
(2)
(3)
3.
The essentials of effective budgeting are: (1) a sound organizational structure, (2) research and
analysis, and (3) acceptance by all levels of management.
4.
(a) Disagree. Accounting information makes major contributions to the budgeting process.
Accounting provides the starting point of budgeting by providing historical data on
revenues, costs, and expenses. Accounting becomes the translator of the budget and
communicates the budget to all areas of responsibility. It also prepares periodic budget reports
that compare actual results with planned objectives and provide a basis for evaluating
performance.
(b) The budget itself, and the administration of the budget, are the responsibility of management.
5.
The budget period should be long enough to provide an attainable goal under normal business
conditions. The budget period should minimize the impact of seasonal and cyclical business
fluctuations, but it should not be so long that reliable estimates are impossible. The most common
budget period is one year.
6.
Disagree. Long-range planning usually encompasses a period of at least five years. It involves
the selection of strategies to achieve long-term goals and the development of policies and plans to
implement the strategies. In addition, long-range planning reports contain considerably less detail
than budget reports.
7.
Participative budgeting involves the use of a “bottom to top” approach, which requires input
from lower level management during the budgeting process so as to involve employees from
various levels and areas within the company. The potential benefits of this approach are lower
level managers have more detailed knowledge of the specifics of their job, and thus should
be able to provide better budgetary estimates. In addition, by involving lower level managers in
the process, it is more likely that they will perceive the budget as being fair and reasonable.
One disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it takes more time, and thus costs more. Another
disadvantage of participative budgeting is that it may enable managers to game the system
through such practices as budgetary slack.
primary benefits of budgeting are:
It requires all levels of management to plan ahead and to formalize goals on a recurring basis.
It provides definite objectives for evaluating performance at each level of responsibility.
It creates an early warning system for potential problems, so that management can make
changes before things get out of hand.
(4) It facilitates the coordination of activities within the business by correlating the goals of
each segment with overall company objectives.
(5) It results in greater management awareness of the entity’s overall operations and the
impact of external factors such as economic trends.
(6) It motivates personnel throughout the organization to meet planned objectives.
23-4
Questions Chapter 23 (Continued)
8.
Budgetary slack is the amount by which a manager intentionally underestimates budgeted
revenues or overestimates budgeted expenses in order to make it easier to achieve budgetary
goals. Managers may have an incentive to create budgetary slack in order to increase the likelihood
of receiving a bonus, or decrease the likelihood of losing their job.
9.
A master budget is a set of interrelated budgets that constitutes a plan of action for a specified
time period. The master budget is developed within the framework of a sales forecast.
10.
The sales budget is the starting point in preparing the master budget. An inaccurate sales
budget may adversely affect net income. An overly optimistic sales budget may result in
excessive inventories and a very conservative sales budget may lead to inventory shortages.
11.
The statement is false. The production budget only shows the units that must be produced to meet
anticipated sales and ending inventory requirements.
12.
The required units of production are 165,000 (160,000 + 20,000 = 180,000 – 15,000 = 165,000).
13.
The desired ending direct materials units are 19,000 (64,000 + 7,000 = 71,000 – 52,000 = 19,000).
14.
Total budgeted direct labor costs are $640,000 (80,000 X .5 X $16 = $640,000).
15.
(a) Manufacturing overhead rate based on direct labor cost is 60% [$198,000 + $162,000 =
$360,000; $360,000 ÷ (160,000 X 1/4 X $15/hr.) = 60%].
(b) Manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is $9 ($360,000 ÷ 40,000).
16.
The first quarter budgeted selling and administrative expenses are $70,000 [(10% X $200,000)
+ $50,000]. The second quarter total is $75,000 [(10% X $250,000) + $50,000].
17.
The budgeted cost per unit of product is $48 ($10 + $20 + $18). Gross profit per unit is $21 ($69 –
$48). Total budgeted gross profit is $525,000 (25,000 X $21).
18.
The supporting schedules are the budgets for sales, direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing
overhead.
19.
The three sections of a cash budget are: (1) cash receipts, (2) cash disbursements, and (3) financing.
The cash budget also shows the beginning and ending cash balances.
20.
Cash collections are:
January—$500,000 X 45% = $225,000.
February—$500,000 X 50% = $250,000.
March—$500,000 X 5% = $25,000.
21.
The formula is: Budgeted cost of goods sold plus desired ending merchandise inventory minus
beginning merchandise inventory equals required merchandise purchases.
22.
In a service enterprise, expected revenues can be obtained from expected output or expected
input. The former is based on anticipated billings of clients for services rendered. The latter is based
on expected billable time of the professional staff.

MEMO
To
Jack Bruno
From: Student
Re:
Budgeting
I am glad Black Rose Company is considering preparing a formal budget. There
are many benefits derived from budgeting, as I will discuss later in this memo.
A budget is a formal written statement of management’s plans for a specified
future time period, expressed in financial terms. The master budget generally consists of operating budgets such as the sales budget, production
budget, direct materials budget, direct labor budget, manufacturing overhead
budget, selling and administrative expense budget, and budgeted income
statement; and financial budgets such as the capital expenditure budget,
cash budget, and budgeted balance sheet.
The primary benefits of budgeting are:
1. It requires all levels of management to plan ahead and formalize their
goals.
2. It provides definite objectives for evaluating performance.
3. It creates an early warning system for potential problems.
4. It facilitates the coordination of activities within the business.
5. It results in greater management awareness of the entity’s overall
operations.
6. It motivates personnel throughout the organization to meet planned
objectives.
In order maximize these benefits, it is essential that budgeting takes place
within a sound organizational structure, so authority and responsibility for all
phases of operations are clearly defined. Also, the budget should be based on
research and analysis that results in realistic goals. Finally, the effectiveness
of a budget program is directly related to its acceptance by all levels of
management.
If you want further explanation of any of these assumptions, please contact me.

DECISION MAKING ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION
(a) The budget at Lanier Corporation is an imposed “top-down” budget
which fails to consider both the need for realistic data and the human
interaction essential to an effective budgeting/control process. The
president has not given any basis for his goals, so one cannot know
whether they are realistic for the company. True participation of company
employees in preparation of the budget is minimal and limited to mechanical gathering and manipulation of data. This suggests there will be little
enthusiasm for implementing the budget.
The budget process is the merging of the requirements of all facets of
the company on a basis of sound judgment and equity. Specific instances
of poor procedures other than the approach and goals include the
following:
1.
The sales by product line should be based upon an accurate sales
forecast of potential market. Therefore, the sales by product line
should have been developed first to derive the sales target rather
than the reverse.
2.
Production costs probably would be the easiest and most certain
costs to estimate. Given variable and fixed production costs, one could
estimate the sales volume needed to cover manufacturing costs
plus the costs of other aspects of the operation. This would be helpful
before budgets for marketing costs and corporate office expenses
are set.
3.
The initial meeting between the vice president of finance, executive
vice president, marketing manager, and production manager should
be held earlier. This meeting is held too late in the budgeting process.
(b) Lanier Corporation should consider the adoption of a “bottom to top”
(participative) budget process. This means that the people responsible
for performance under the budget would participate in the decisions
by which the budget is established. In addition, this approach requires
initial and continuing involvement of sales, financial, and production
personnel to define sales and profit goals which are realistic within the
constraints under which management operates. Although time-consuming,
the approach should produce a more acceptable, honest, and workable
goal-control mechanism. It also provides for goal congruence possibilities for both individuals and departments within the firm.
23-52
BYP 23-1 (Continued)
The sales forecast should be developed considering internal sales
forecasts as well as external factors. Costs within departments should
be divided into fixed and variable, discretionary and nondiscretionary.
(c) The functional areas should not necessarily be expected to cut costs
when sales volume falls below budget. The time frame of the budget
(one year) is short enough so that many costs are relatively fixed in
amount. For those costs which are fixed, there is little hope for a
reduction as a consequence of short-run changes in volume. However, the
functional areas should be expected to cut costs should sales volume
fall below target when:
1.
Control is exercised over the costs within their function.
2.
Budgeted costs were more than adequate for the originally targeted
sales; i.e., slack was present.
3.
Budgeted costs vary to some extent with changes in sales.
4.
There are discretionary costs which can be delayed or omitted with
no serious effect on the department.

BYP 23-2
MANAGERIAL ANALYSIS
(a) Direct materials
Either lower quality materials resulting in an inferior
product and possible lost sales, or fewer units
produced resulting in lost sales.
Direct labor
Reduced production resulting in lost sales, or
reduction in quality of product resulting in lost sales.
Insurance
Less coverage; may increase risk beyond acceptable
levels.
Depreciation
To reduce depreciation, fixed assets would have to
be disposed of. Could result in less production and
lost sales.
Machine repairs
Less efficient operations, or lost production and
sales.
Sales salaries
Lost sales.
Office salaries
Less effective administrative functions.
Factory salaries
Lost production due to inefficiency, and therefore
lost sales.
(b) Given the nature of their product, a decline in quality should be
avoided, since this could result in lower future sales. Direct materials
represent the largest single cost, and thus perhaps the greatest
potential savings. Perhaps substitute materials of similar quality can
be found, or less expensive materials can be used for aspects of the
product where quality is not as critical. Additionally, it may be possible
to renegotiate prices with the supplier. Bedner & Flott should be very
reluctant to reduce repair costs, since in the long run this can be very
expensive. Perhaps salaried and hourly employees can be encouraged
to take pay cuts if a profit-sharing mechanism is introduced.

REAL-WORLD FOCUS
(a) The factors that affect the budgeting process at Network Computing
Devices, Inc. are general economic conditions affecting industry demand
for computer products, the timing and market acceptance of new
products of the Company and its competitors, the timing of significant
orders from large customers, periodic changes in product pricing and
discounting due to competitive factors, and the availability of key
product components (raw materials).
In addition, the budgeting process will be affected by the Company’s
success with its products, its product and customer mix, and the level
of competition it experiences.
(b) Internationally, third quarter sales are adversely affected because
European customers reduce their business activity in August. In addition,
international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and any change in
the value of the dollar relative to foreign currencies could make the
Company’s products more or less competitive in foreign markets.

COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY
Date 2009
Mrs. Julie Fleming, CEO
Life Protection Products
Dear Mrs. Fleming:
Allow me to congratulate you on the success of your new venture! The
growth in sales you have experienced is phenomenal. You have managed the
business side of the venture very well also. At the same time, I understand
your concern about cash flow. You are selling these kits as fast as you can
make them, and yet you are running out of cash.
There is a solution to your problem. Before describing that, it may be
helpful for you to understand why this situation occurred. The primary
reason is that you are purchasing kit supplies at least two months in advance
of sales. As your business expands, these materials costs continue to
increase. Sales do not “catch up” until the Drs. Fleming have a seminar.
You did not describe in detail how often these seminars are, but I would
guess that they tend to run in cycles rather than being regularly spaced.
Eventually, as sales stabilize, you will find that cash inflows exceed cash
outflows, and your need for additional cash will subside. Presently, I think
it would be a good idea to try to borrow additional funds. I have not seen all
your financial data, but judging only from the cash budget you showed me,
it appears that you have the basis of a very successful company. If so, your
banker will be able to see the potential in your business and should be
happy to provide the cash you need. You will need to prepare a full set of
financial statements. I will be happy to assist you, if you desire.
There is also a possibility that you have underpriced your product. You are
providing a valuable service in assembling this information and these
materials. The fact that every seminar results in a sellout of the materials
may mean that you have priced your product too low. I know that your
husband wishes to have these materials available to every family, but
increasing the price a little may not make the price too high, and would
better compensate you for your efforts.
23-56
BYP 23-4 (Continued)
However, even if you raised prices, you will find that you need additional
cash as long as the business continues to expand. It certainly does not
mean that you and Amy are doing anything wrong. It just means that you
will be investing additional funds as long as you continue to grow.
In my opinion, the best way to make sure these kits are available to as
many families as possible is for you and Amy to have a consultant evaluate
and determine the size of the market for you. Then you can decide whether
to expand to meet the need, or whether to keep your own business small
and allow competitors to imitate your product.
Congratulations again on a very successful product. Call or email this office if
we may be of further assistance preparing financial statements or providing
additional advice.
Sincerely,
Ima Student
Best and Superior, Certified Public Accountants

ETHICS CASE
(a) At best, if you disclose the errors in your calculations, you will be
embarrassed. At worst, you will be dismissed without a recommendation
for another job.
(b) The president will continue making presentations using data that are
grossly overstated. In time, your error may be detected when the events
you projected do not materialize.
(c) The most ethical scenario would be to admit your error, let the president
know about the error, provide the president with corrected projections,
and allow the president to decide how to alter his presentations during
the second week of his speech-making.
