Ans: C AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting, Measurement LO: 4 Level: Hard
Solution:
First calculate raw materials used:Beginning inventory
raw materials+ Purchases −
Ending inventory raw materials
=Raw materials
used
By rearranging:
Purchases + (Beginning
inventory raw materials
−Ending
inventory raw materials
) =Raw materials
used
Since raw material inventory decreased by $4,000, we know that:Beginning inventory raw materials − Ending inventory raw materials = $4,000
Substituting into equation:$25,000 + $4,000 = Raw materials used
$29,000 = Raw materials used
Next, solve for total manufacturing costs:Raw materials
used+ Direct labor +
Manufacturing overhead
=Total
manufacturing costs$29,000 + $40,000 + $30,000 = $99,000

Use the following to answer questions 181-183:
Dominik Corporation purchased a machine 5 years ago for $527,000 when it launched product M08Y. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 310 machine costing $545,000 or by a new model 240 machine costing $450,000. Management has decided to buy the model 240 machine. It has less capacity than the model 310 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product M08Y. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product M08Y and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $450,000 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $532,000.
181. In making the decision to buy the model 240 machine rather than the model 310 machine, the differential cost was: A) $95,000 B) $5,000 C) $77,000 D) $18,000

Management of Plascencia Corporation is considering whether to purchase a new model 370 machine costing $360,000 or a new model 220 machine costing $340,000 to replace a machine that was purchased 7 years ago for $348,000. The old machine was used to make product I43L until it broke down last week. Unfortunately, the old machine cannot be repaired.
Management has decided to buy the new model 220 machine. It has less capacity than the new model 370 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product I43L.
Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of simply dropping product I43L. If that were done, instead of investing $340,000 in the new machine, the money could be invested in a project that would return a total of $411,000.

212. Mary Tappin, an assistant Vice President at Galaxy Toys, was disturbed to find on her desk a memo from her boss, Gary Resnick, to the controller of the company. The memo appears below:
Galaxy Toys Internal Memo
Sept 15
To: Harry Wilson, ControllerFm: Gary Resnick, Executive Vice President
As you know, we won't start recording many sales until October when stores start accepting shipments from us for the Christmas season. Meanwhile, we are producing flat-out and are building up our finished goods inventories so that we will be ready to ship next month.
Unfortunately, we are in a bind right now since it looks like the net income for the quarter ending on Sept 30 is going to be pretty awful. This may get us in trouble with the bank since they always review the quarterly financial reports and may call in our loan if they don't like what they see. Is there any possibility that we could change the classification of some of our period costs to product costs--such as the rent on the finished goods warehouse?
Please let me know as soon as possible. The President is pushing for results.
Mary didn't know what to do about the memo. It wasn't intended for her, but its contents were alarming.
Required:a. Why has Gary Resnick suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs?b. Why do you think Mary was alarmed about the memo?
Ans:
a. Gary Resnick has suggested reclassifying some period costs as product costs since the company is building up large finished goods inventories in anticipation of the Christmas selling season. Product costs are inventoried and flow through to the income statement only when products are sold. Period expenses, in contrast, flow directly to the income statement. Since most of the finished goods inventories will be held over to the next quarter, reclassifying period costs as product costs will effectively defer recognition of expenses until next quarter and therefore will improve the current quarter's net operating income.

b. Mary Tappin is probably alarmed by both the economic situation the company finds itself in and by the apparent willingness of top management to bend the rules. Improperly reclassifying costs is an indication that top management does not feel like it has to play by the rules or be honest in its dealings with the bank. With such loose ethical standards, Mary may wonder what other things they are doing that are unethical and/or illegal.
