Wordsmith is a publishing company with a number of different book lines (ACC 560 Week 5)

ACC 560 Week 5 Assignment

P8-4A Wordsmith is a publishing company with a number of different book lines. Each line has contracts with a number of different authors. The company also owns a printing operation called Pronto Press. The book lines and the printing operation each operate as a separate profit center. The printing operation earns revenue by printing books by authors under contract with the book lines owned by Wordsmith, as well as authors under contract with other companies. The printing operation bills out at $0.01 per page, and a typical book requires 500 pages of print. A manager from Business Books, one of the Wordsmith's book lines, has approached the manager of the printing operation offering to pay $0.007 per page for 1,200 copies of a 500-page book. The book line pays outside printers $0.009 per page. The printing operation's variable cost per page is $0.006.

Instructions:
Determine whether the printing should be done internally or externally, and the appropriate transfer price, under each of the following situations.
(a) Assume that the printing operation is booked solid for the next two years, and it would have to cancel an obligation with an outside customer in order to meet the needs of the internal division.
(b) Assume that the printing operation has available capacity.
(c) The top management of Franco believes that the printing operation should always do the printing for the company’s magazines. On a number of occasions it has forced the printing operation to cancel jobs with outside customers in order.
(d) Calculate the change in contribution margin to each division, and to the company as a whole, if top management forces the printing operation to accept the $0.007 per page transfer price when it has no available capacity.

a. After posting is complete, the December 31 cash balance according to the accounting records is $31,743.70, and the bank statement cash balance for that date is $45,091.80.
b. Check No. 1273 for $1,084.20 and Check No. 1282 for $390.00, both written and entered in the accounting records in December, are not among the canceled checks. Two checks, No. 1231 for $2,289.00 and No. 1242 for $370.50, were outstanding on the most recent November 30 reconciliation. Check No. 1231 is listed with the December canceled checks, but Check No. 1242 is not.
c. When the December checks are compared with entries in the accounting records, it is found that Check No. 1267 had been correctly drawn for $2,435 to pay for office supplies but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $2,453.
d. Two debit memoranda are enclosed with the statement and are unrecorded at the time of the reconciliation. One debit memorandum is for $749.50 and dealt with an NSF check for $732 received from a customer, Titus Industries, in payment of its account. The bank assessed a $17.50 fee for processing it. The second debit memorandum is a $79.00 charge for check printing. Style did not record these transactions before receiving the statement.
