A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (20,000 units): Direct materials $180,000 Direct labor 240,000 Variable factory overhead 280,000 Operating expenses: Variable operating expenses $130,000 Fixed operating expenses 50,000 180,000 If 1,600 units remain unsold at the end of the month, the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is a.$66,400 b.$64,000 c.$78,400 d.$56,000

Answer:

d.$56,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

The total production cost

= Direct material + direct labor + variable factory overhead

= $180,000 + $240,000 + $280,000

= $700,000

Now the production cost per unit is

= $700,000 ÷ 20,000 units

= $35 per unit

Now the amount of inventory is

= 1,600 units × $35 per unit

= $56,000

Placid Lake Corporation acquired 90 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2020, when Scenic had a net book value of $640,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $7,000 per year.

Placid Lake's 2021 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $540,000. Scenic reported net income of $350,000. Placid Lake declared $170,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $64,000. At the end of 2021, selected figures from the two companies' balance sheets were as follows:

Placid Lake Scenic
Inventory $380,000 $114,000
Land 840,000 440,000
Equipment (net) 640,000 540,000

During 2020, intra-entity sales of $195,000 (original cost of $90,000) were made. Only 30 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2020. In 2021, $330,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $83,000. Of this merchandise, 40 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.

Required:
a. What is consolidated net income for Placid Lake and its subsidiary?
b. If the intra-entity sales were upstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and interest?
c. If the intra-entity sales were downstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and interest?

It takes courage to kill a project, but sometimes you know it has to be done. Some common symptoms of a failing project are ill-defined initial requirements, constant changes in scope, excessive changes in resources and personnel, and extreme stress/tension over anticipated changes. Yet, a project may have followed the "book" and done everything right, but still need to be terminated. This was the case with a project in the U.K. where the client was highly committed to the project, contributing time, resources, and prompt decisions. The scope was clear, completion criteria agreed upon, the budget and timeframe acceptable to all. Early on, however, an unavoidable scope change had to be made, requiring a 20 percent increase in time and a 10 percent increase in cost, agreed to by the client. As the project approached the end of the fi rst phase, it was clear that the quality and schedule were both deteriorating, as indicated in progress reports to both the client and senior management. A quick review showed that the results were not going to be acceptable. With the agreement of the PM, an outside Expert was called in to review the effort to date and make a recommendation. Then a joint meeting was held with the Expert, the PM, the Program Manager, and the primary contractor where it was decided that the best thing to do was to work together to complete phase one and then terminate the project, with a clean handover to another team to tackle phase two. Although disappointing to everyone, the close and frequent communications of both progress and concerns throughout the project with upper management and the client, offered in timely, digestible amounts, reduced their expectations and protected the client from a surprise at the end. Honest, consistent communication throughout the project life cycle resulted in improved trust, integrity, and confi dence in the vendor and their team.

Required:
a. What are your thoughts about doing everything right and the project still failing?
b. Does the admonition "Never surprise the boss!" now make more sense? Why?
c. Do you think the scope change at the beginning was the problem here, or was there going to be a problem anyway?

Waterways has discovered that a small fitting it now manufactures at a cost of $1.00 per unit could be bought elsewhere for $0.83 per unit. Waterways has fixed costs of $0.20 per unit that cannot be eliminated by buying this unit. Waterways needs 474,000 of these units each year. If Waterways decides to buy rather than produce the small fitting, it can devote the machinery and labor to making a timing unit it now buys from another company. Waterways uses approximately 500 of these units each year. The cost of the unit is $13.26. To aid in the production of this unit, Waterways would need to purchase a new machine at a cost of $2,369, and the cost of producing the units would be $10.00 a unit. Without considering the possibility of making the timing unit, evaluate whether Waterways should buy or continue to make the small fitting. The company should (buy/Make) the fitting. Incremental cost / (savings) will be ____________$
