Module 4 Exercises

Problem 1

Derauf has prepared the following list of statements about decision making and incremental analysis. Identify each statement as true or false. If false, indicate how to correct the statement.

1.       The first step in management’s decision-making process is, “Determine and evaluate possible courses of action.”

2.       The final step in management’s decision-making process is to actually make the decision.

3.       Accounting’s contribution to management’s decision-making process occurs primarily in evaluating possible courses of action and in reviewing the results.

4.       In making business decisions, management, ordinarily considers only financial information because it is objectively determined.

5.       Decisions involve a choice among alternative courses of action.

6.       The process used to identify the financial data that change under alternative courses of action is called incremental analysis.

7.       Costs that are the same under all alternative courses of action sometimes affect the decision.

8.       When using incremental analysis, some costs will always change under alternative course of action, but revenues will not.

9.       Variable costs will change under alternative courses of action, but fixed costs will not.

Module 5 Exercises

Problem 1

Frizell Company is preparing its manufacturing overhead budget for 2011. Relevant data consist of the following.

·         Units to be produced (by quarters): 10,000, 12,000, 14,000, and 16,000

·         Direct labor: Time is 1.5 hours per unit

·         Variable overhead costs per direct labor hour: Indirect materials $0.70; indirect labor $1.20; and maintenance $0.50

·         Fixed overhead costs per quarter: Supervisory salaries $35,000; depreciation $16,000; and maintenance $12,000

Prepare the manufacturing overhead budget for the year, showing quarterly data.

 

Problem 2

Jake Palermo has prepared the following list of statements about budgetary control. Identify each statement as true or false. If false, indicate how to correct the statement.

1.       Budget reports compare actual results with planned objectives.

2.       All budget reports are prepared on a weekly basis.

3.       Management uses budget reports to analyze differences between actual and planned results and determine their causes.

4.       As a result of analyzing budget reports, management may either take corrective action or modify future plans.

5.       Budgetary control works best when a company has an informal reporting system.

6.       The primary recipient of the scrap report is the production manager.

7.       A static budget is a projection of budget data at one level of activity.

8.       Top management’s reaction to unfavorable differences is not influenced by the materiality of the difference.

9.       A static budget is not appropriate in evaluating a manager’s effectiveness in controlling costs unless the actual activity level approximates the static budget activity level or the behavior of the costs is fixed.

Problem 2

Vorteck Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Vorteck is considering purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.5 million. Its existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8 million six months ago; Vorteck spent $55,000 to keep it operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for $260,000. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000 training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following amounts for years 1 to 7:

Year 1

$390,000

2

400,000

3

411,000

4

426,000

5

434,000

6

435,000

7

436,000

 

The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is expected to be $380,000. This new equipment would require maintenance costs of $95,000 at the end of the fifth year. The cost of capital is 9%.

Use the net present value method to determine whether Vorteck should purchase the new machine to replace the exiting machine, and state the reason for your conclusion.
