(b) The project is completed in 2007, and a successful patent is obtained. The R&D costs to complete the project are $110,000. The administrative and legal expenses incurred in obtaining patent number 472-1001-84 in 2007 total $16,000. The patent has an expected useful life of 5 years. Record these costs in journal entry form. Also, record patent amortization (full year) in 2007.
(c) In 2008, the company successfully defends the patent in extended litigation at a cost of $47,200, thereby extending the patent life to December 31, 2015. What is the proper way to account for this cost? Also, record patent amortization (full year) in 2008.
(d) Additional engineering and consulting costs incurred in 2008 required to advance the design of a product to the manufacturing stage total $60,000. These costs enhance the design of the product considerably. Discuss the proper accounting treatment for this cost.

The management of Borealis Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier

ACC 560 Week 5 Assignment

P7-2A The management of Borealis Manufacturing Company is trying to decide whether to continue manufacturing a part or to buy it from an outside supplier. The part, called WISCO, is a component of the company's finished product.

The following information was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending December 31, 2008.
1. 7,000 units of WISCO were produced in the Machining Department.
2. Variable manufacturing costs applicable to the production of each WISCO unit were: direct materials $4.80, direct labor $4.30, indirect labor $0.43, utilities $0.40.
3. Fixed manufacturing costs applicable to the production of WISCO were:
Cost Item Direct Allocated
Depreciation $2,100 $ 900
Property taxes 500 200
Insurance 900 600
$3,500 $1,700

All variable manufacturing and direct fixed costs will be eliminated if WISCO is purchased. Allocated costs will have to be absorbed by other production departments.

4. The lowest quotation for 7,000 WISCO units from a supplier is $70,000.
5. If WISCO units are purchased, freight and inspection costs would be $0.40 per unit, and receiving costs totaling $1,250 per year would be incurred by the Machining Department.

Hint: Make incremental analysis related to make or buy, consider opportunity cost, and identify nonfinancial factors.

Instructions
(a) Prepare an incremental analysis for WISCO. Your analysis should have columns for (1) Make WISCO, (2) Buy WISCO, and (3) Net Income Increase/(Decrease).
(b) Based on your analysis, what decision should management make?
(c) Would the decision be different if Borealis Company has the opportunity to produce $5,000 of net income with the facilities currently being used to manufacture WISCO? Show computations.
(d) What nonfinancial factors should management consider in making its decision?

Mendocino Corporation produces two grades of wine from grapes that it buys from California growers

Problem 4-4A (P4-4A) Assign overhead costs using traditional costing and ABC; compare results.

Mendocino Corporation produces two grades of wine from grapes that it buys from California growers. It produces and sells roughly 3,000,000 liters per year of a low-cost, high-volume product called CoolDay. It sells this in 600,000 5-liter jugs Mendocino also produces and sells roughly 300,000 liters per year of a low-volume, high-cost product called LiteMist. LiteMist is sold in 1-liter bottles. Based on recent data, the CoolDay product has not been as profitable as LiteMist. Management is considering dropping the inexpensive CoolDay line so it can focus more attention on the LiteMist product. The LiteMist product already demands considerably more attention than the CoolDay line.
Tyler Silva, president and founder of Mendocino, is skeptical about this idea. He points out that for many decades the company produced only the CoolDay line, and that it was always quite profitable. It wasn't until the company started producing the more complicated LiteMist wine that the profitability of CoolDay declined. Prior to the introduction of LiteMist, the company had simple equipment, simple growing and production procedures, and virtually no need for quality control. Because LiteMist is bottled in 1-liter bottles, it requires considerably more time and effort, both to bottle and to label and box than does CoolDay. The company must bottle and handle 5 times as many bottles of LiteMist to sell the same quantity as CoolDay. CoolDay requires 1 month of aging; LiteMist requires 1 year. CoolDay requires cleaning and inspection of equipment every 10,000 liters; LiteMist requires such maintenance every 600 liters.
Tyler has asked the accounting department to prepare an analysis of the cost per liter using the traditional costing approach and using activity-based costing. The following information was collected.
CoolDay LiteMist
Direct materials per liter $0.40 $1.20
Direct labor cost per liter $0.25 $0.50
Direct labor hours per liter 0.05 0.09
Total direct labor hours 120,000 25,000

Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Estimated Overhead Expected Use of Cost Drivers Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
CoolDay LiteMist
Grape processing Cart of grapes $ 145,860 6,600 6,000 600
Aging Total months 396,000 6,600,000 3,000,000 3,600,000
Bottling and corking Number of bottles 270,000 900,000 600,000 300,000
Labeling and boxing Number of bottles 189,000 900,000 600,000 300,000
Maintain and inspect equipment Number of inspections 240,800 800 350 450
$1,241,660

Instructions
Answer each of the following questions. (Round all calculations to three decimal places.)
A. Under traditional product costing using direct labor hours, compute the total manufacturing cost per liter of both products.
B. Under ABC, prepare a schedule showing the computation of the activity-based overhead rates (per cost driver).
C. Prepare a schedule assigning each activity's overhead cost pool to each product, based on the use of cost drivers. Include a computation of overhead cost per liter.
D. Compute the total manufacturing cost per liter for both products under ABC.
E. Write a memo to Tyler Silva discussing the implications of your analysis for the company's plans. In this memo provide a brief description of ABC, as well as an explanation of how the traditional approach can result in distortions.

Check: (a) Cost/liter—C.D. $1.078; (c) Cost/liter—C.D. $.241

Tony Siebers is an accounting major at a midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city

ACC 560 Week 8 Assignment

P12-2A Tony Siebers is an accounting major at a midwestern state university located approximately 60 miles from a major city. Many of the students attending the university are from the metropolitan area and visit their homes regularly on the weekends. Tony, an entrepreneur at heart, realizes that few good commuting alternatives are available for students doing weekend travel. He believes that a weekend commuting service could be organized and run profitably from several suburban and downtown shopping mall locations. Tony has gathered the following investment information.

1. Five used vans would cost a total of $75,000 to purchase and would have a 3-year useful life with negligible salvage value. Tony plans to use straight-line depreciation.
2. Ten drivers would have to be employed at a total payroll expense of $48,000.
3. Other annual out-of-pocket expenses associated with running the commuter service would include Gasoline $16,000, Maintenance $4,300, Repairs $5,000, Insurance $5,200, Advertising $2,500.
4. Tony has visited several financial institutions to discuss funding. The best interest rate he has been able to negotiate is 8%. Use this rate for cost of capital.
5. Tony expects each van to make 10 round trips weekly and carry an average of 6 students each trip. The service is expected to operate 30 weeks each year, and each student will be charged $12.00 for a round-trip ticket.

Instructions
(a) Determine the annual (1) net income and (2) net annual cash flows for the commuter service.
(b) Compute (1) the cash payback period and (2) the annual rate of return. (Round to two decimals.)
(c) Compute the net present value of the commuter service. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
(d) What should Tony conclude from these computations? Is the commuter service a wise investment?
