CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Distinguish between simple and compound interest. Simple interest is computed on the principal only, while compound interest is computed on the principal and any interest earned that has not been withdrawn.

2. Solve for future value of a single amount. Prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the principal amount, the number of compounding periods, and the interest rate. Using the future value of 1 table, multiply the principal amount by the future value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate.

3. Solve for future value of an annuity. Prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the amount of the periodic payments, the number of compounding periods, and the interest rate.

Using the future value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the amount of the payments by the future value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and interest rate.

4. Identify the variables fundamental to solving present value problems. The following three variables are fundamental to solving present value problems: (1) the future amount, (2) the number of periods, and (3) the interest rate (the discount rate).

5. Solve for present value of a single amount. Prepare a time diagram of the problem.

Identify the future amount, the number of discounting periods, and the discount (interest) rate.

Using the present value of a single amount table, multiply the future amount by the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the discount rate.

6. Solve for present value of an annuity. Prepare a time diagram of the problem. Identify the amount of future periodic receipts or payment (annuities), the number of discounting periods, and the discount (interest) rate. Using the present value of an annuity of 1 table, multiply the amount of the annuity by the present value factor specified at the intersection of the number of periods and the interest rate.

7. Compute the present value of notes and bonds. Determine the present value of the principal amount: Multiply the principal amount (a single future amount) by the present value factor (from the present value of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments) and the discount rate. Determine the present value of the series of interest payments: Multiply the amount of the interest payment by the present value factor (from the present value of an annuity of 1 table) intersecting at the number of periods (number of interest payments) and the discount rate. Add the present value of the principal amount to the present value of the interest payments to arrive at the present value of the note or bond.

8. Compute the present values in capital budgeting situations. Compute the present values of all cash inflows and all cash outflows related to the capital budgeting proposal (an investment-type decision.) If the net present value is positive accept the proposal (make the investment). If the net present value is negative, reject the proposal (do not make the investment).

9. Use a financial calculator to solve time value of money problems. Financial calculators can be used to solve the same and additional problems as those solved with time value of money tables. Enter into the financial calculator the amounts for all of the known elements of a time value of money problem (periods, interest rate, payments, future or present value), and it solves for the unknown element. Particularly useful situations involve interest rates and compounding periods not presented in the tables.

SOLUTIONS TO CASES FOR MANAGEMENT DECISION MAKING CASE 1 1.

A predetermined manufacturing overhead rate means that all manufacturing overhead costs, are allocated to each job based on a cost driver.

Often this is done based on the expected volume of units produced. That is, products that are produced in higher volume are allocated more overhead.

In the case of Wall Décor, in addition to volume sold, the base used is the cost of each print sold. That is, each print is allocated an amount of manufacturing overhead based on the cost of the print. The management of Wall Décor felt that this approach was logical because it was expected that more expensive prints would be more likely to be framed, and that the processing of framing requires the incurrence of considerably more overhead costs.

2.

The advantages of using the cost of each print as the manufacturing overhead cost driver are that: (1) it is relatively inexpensive to implement in a business, (2) it is easy to explain, and (3) it keeps accounting records in compliance with GAAP. The primary disadvantage of using the cost of each print as the manufacturing overhead cost driver is that it may not result in a reasonable estimate of the cost of a job, batch, or service. That is, the assumed relationship—that the cost of the print is related to the amount of overhead cost incurred—may be incorrect. Many of the overhead costs incurred are the result of the framing and matting processes. However, the approach used by Wall Décor will result in a high overhead allocation to expensive prints, even if those prints are not framed. Furthermore, even if overhead costs are related to the cost of prints, and substantially more unframed prints are sold than framed prints, then an inordinate amount of overhead will still be allocated to the unframed prints simply because more of those are sold. By allocating overhead in an inappropriate fashion, product costs are distorted, and, as a consequence, management decision making is affected.

Case 1-1

CASE 1 (Continued) 3.

Under a job order costing system, a predetermined overhead rate must be used, since the cost of jobs must be calculated throughout the year (rather than just at year-end). This predetermined overhead rate is based on expected costs and the expected total amount of the cost driver.

Therefore, the first thing that must be done is to compute the total expected overhead cost. This step was completed in the information provided by the accounting and production teams. It was determined to be $375,200 (Illustration CA 1-2).

The second step is to determine the total expected cost of prints for the period.

Unframed: 80,000 X $12 = $ 960,000 Steel-framed: 15,000 X $16 = 240,000 Wood-framed: 7,000 X $20 = 140,000 Total expected cost of prints $1,340,000 Once the total expected overhead cost and total expected print cost are known, the overhead rate can be determined.

Predetermined overhead rate = $375,200 ÷ $1,340,000 = $0.28 This means that for every $1 of print cost, it is assumed that 28¢ of manufacturing overhead costs are consumed. For example, a $12 print will be assigned $3.36 ($12 X $0.28) of overhead.

(d) As a percentage, unframed prints are being allocated 71.6 percent or ($268,800 ÷ $375,200) of the total overhead cost.

6.

No. Unframed prints are being allocated too much manufacturing overhead and framed prints too little manufacturing overhead. In designing the allocation approach, management had assumed that since the average cost of framed prints would exceed the average cost of unframed prints, more of the overhead would be allocated to framed prints.

However, the cause of the apparent misallocation is that the volume of unframed prints is much greater than the volume of framed prints. This dramatic difference in volume far outweighs the difference in price.

Therefore, unframed prints as a category end up absorbing the bulk of the overhead costs. This does not seem appropriate since a review of the manufacturing overhead costs shows that many of the overhead costs are associated with the framing and matting component of the production area, such as salaries, rent of factory equipment, and information systems.

Case 1-3

CASE 1 (Continued) 7.

The high-volume unframed prints will be overcosted and the low-volume framed prints will be undercosted. This will occur because the category of prints that are sold most frequently will generally carry the greatest amount of overhead. For example, in reference to the solution to question 4, the framed and matted print is being allocated only $5.60, but an unframed print is allocated $3.36 of manufacturing overhead. This is not logical because a substantial portion of manufacturing overhead costs is dedicated to framing and matting prints.

As a result, Wall Décor might end up selling framed prints at a price that is too low to cover its cost. Changing the way the overhead is allocated may improve the profit center’s performance.

CASE 2

1.

ABC is beneficial when traditional overhead allocation results in inaccurate product costing. Wall Dêcor should investigate the product costing system because in order to sell the unframed prints the stores must mark them up only slightly above their cost, while the framed prints enjoy a large profit margin. Traditional overhead allocation often results in inappropriate overhead allocation when one product is a high-volume item (in this case, the unframed prints) and another product is a more complex, low-volume item (in this case, the framed prints).

Another indication that ABC would be beneficial occurs when company managers have begun to develop their own costing systems because they have lost faith in the traditional system. In this case, the production manager does not have faith in the company’s costing system and instead has developed her own costing system.

2.

The activity-based overhead rates can be calculated by dividing the estimated overhead associated with each activity by the expected use of the cost driver.

In Case 1 the high-volume prints consumed the greatest amount of overhead because it was assumed all manufacturing overhead was driven by print cost combined with sales volume, regardless of the mix of unframed prints and framed prints. Since far more unframed prints were sold, most of the overhead was allocated to unframed prints.

Case 2-3

CASE 2 (Continued) Under ABC, this changes. Although still based on estimates, ABC first provides an analysis of how resources were consumed by activity. Next, in the second step of allocation, activity costs are allocated to unframed prints and framed prints using different types of drivers. These drivers are designed to model how manufacturing overhead resources were consumed at the product level. For example, the last activity (framing and matting) is allocated to framed items only. The reason is that unframed prints do not consume framing and matting equipment, space, and general overhead resources.

The primary implication for the company is that the product costs will be more accurate, which will result in better product pricing and more accurate evaluation of the relative profitability of the products.

5.

There are some costs that are very difficult to allocate because it is difficult to determine a meaningful cost driver that captures differences across products. Time and resources dedicated to web optimization for an integrated system fall into this category. In this case, in order to reflect the significant difference between the amount of time spent on web optimization by the IT staff on unframed prints versus framed prints, the total cost of web optimization was first split between these two categories. Time of IT staff was used to subdivide the cost by resource consumption between unframed prints and framed prints. This allocation, although it may appear simple, is sometimes very difficult to accomplish in the real world. Once identified, management can see that much of IT’s resources are being consumed by framed and matted items.

6.

The advantage of ABC versus traditional predetermined overhead allocation is that ABC allocates costs based on the activities that generate those costs. This results in more accurate product costing. By breaking costs down into more refined categories, product costing will be even more accurate. However, having more categories is costly from a record-keeping perspective. Increasingly, there is an effort by ABC consultants to “keep it simple” so as to reduce the cost of implementing ABC. It is believed that many of the benefits of ABC can be attained with relatively simple systems.

CASE 2 (Continued) 7.

By allocating fixed overhead costs using operating capacity as the basis, management can see how much, approximately, each item costs at capacity. Although this is somewhat arbitrary, it does provide a benchmark for comparability and improvement. The advantage is that management can manage costs based on a standard.

If expected sales volume is used to allocate fixed overhead costs, then the allocation rate will fluctuate as sales fluctuate. This reduces the usefulness of analysis across years and makes planning very difficult. In fact, it can result in a vicious cycle: As volume decreases, the fixed cost per unit goes up, so product cost goes up. In response, management raises prices (because the product cost has risen). When the price rises, volume falls even further, and the cycle starts over again. Keep in mind that costs must be controlled at the activity level. Therefore, an activity cost at a standard is what is necessary for measurement, resource allocation, and evaluation. By allocating based on capacity these fluctuations can be eliminated (as long as capacity doesn’t vary).

Therefore, the use of operating capacity for allocating fixed overhead costs can result in better decision making.

(b) The total overhead allocated was $340,856, ($100,640 + $150,420 + $89,796).

This is $34,344 less than the total overhead of $375,200. The overhead rates for website optimization and framing and matting were both determined using the capacity amount rather than the expected sales amount. The reasons for this were discussed earlier. Since expected/ actual sales were less than capacity, the overhead is underapplied. This cost of $34,344 can be viewed as the cost of operating at less than capacity. In order to reduce this amount, management should either figure out ways to increase sales or reduce fixed costs by shifting resources to other products.

CASE 3

1.

Several different views are likely to surface. Below are representative responses: Now you have a much better understanding of Mr. Burns’ situation and realize that finding a good solution rests on setting the transfer price so that: (1) Wall Décor generates the highest rate of return possible, and (2) the transfer price to each store must be reasonable according to each store’s external market conditions. Essentially, Mr. Burns must keep everyone focused on the success of the overall company. His biggest fear is that the business units will take a narrow focus and be concerned only about their individual situation and thus hurt the overall company profits.

Mr. Burns’ greatest problem is to keep Wall Décor and the individual stores working together to maximize the profit of the overall company and remain innovative. If not, Wall Décor will seek to sell to competitors in an attempt to increase its return on investment. The result is that store competitors will be able to sell high-quality framed print items and increase competitive pressures on Greetings stores.

If the price of framed prints gets too high, store managers will seek different suppliers. This could hurt Wall Décor because it could be left with excess capacity.

Setting the transfer price so both parties to the transaction win is a challenging task. If leadership continues to use a straight cost-plus approach, it may lose store sales, and Wall Décor will not meet its required rate of return. If leadership sets the transfer price at market price, it may also lose store sales because of a lost competitive position. Thus, the transfer price must be flexible, and all must benefit and earn a fair return.

Case 3-3

CASE 3 (Continued) The analysis points to an improvement in overall company performance of $129,184. The benefits come from Greetings stores increasing the volume of business in print items and the associated profits from selling related items. In addition, each profit center is happy because profits improve for stores by $109,182 and for Wall Décor by $20,002.

3.

• Profits are defined as the store selling price less the ABC cost. This is a necessary and useful clarifying definition.

• Stores do not share the profits from related products with Wall Décor.

This could be potentially harmful. Since stores don’t have to share the profits on these related products with Wall Décor, the stores might decide to sell the prints as “loss leaders.” While this would reduce the stores’ profit on prints (as well as Wall Décor’s), it would increase the sale of related products, which the stores would benefit from. In this way, Wall Décor would actually be subsidizing the stores because it would be absorbing part of the loss on prints. The last term below, which restricts the stores’ ability to change prices, would appear to mitigate this problem; however, as noted below, that part of the agreement is not particularly desirable either.

• Wall Décor will not seek to sell unframed and framed print items through anyone other than Greetings. This is potentially harmful, but also, given the profit-sharing agreement, probably an unnecessary restriction. In most circumstances a company should not force a supplying division to sell to another division rather than to outside parties. However, given the nature of Wall Décor, and the potential competitive advantage it represents for the company as a whole, it might make sense to restrict its ability to sell to competitors. However, an economic incentive should be provided to ensure that Wall Décor doesn’t want to sell to outsiders.

The opportunity to share in the profits of the store probably does act as an incentive to dissuade Wall Décor from selling to competitors.

• Wall Décor will work to decrease costs. This is an ineffective term, as well as unnecessary under the circumstances. Simply telling a division that it must work to decrease costs is not effective. However, in this case, since Wall Décor will share in the stores’ profits, it has an incentive to decrease costs. Therefore, it would appear that this term was unnecessary.

Case 3-4

CASE 3 (Continued) • Greetings stores will not seek suppliers of prints other than Wall Décor. It is not unusual for a company to require its divisions to purchase goods internally as long as the selling division provides goods of comparable quality and price to those available from outside suppliers.

• Stores will keep the selling price of framed prints as it was before the change in transfer price. On average, stores will decrease the selling price of unframed prints to $20, with an expected increase in volume to 100,000 prints. This reduces the flexibility of the individual stores to make decisions based on local market conditions. Therefore, it might be potentially harmful to the company.

3.

Analysis of flaws and risks (a) The analysis and decision framework may be flawed in its time period assumption. The analysis is based on a five-year time period.

Notice the projected cost savings and additional profits are based on five-year projections. Implicit is that it will require five years for the competition to match the cost advantage of printing on demand. It might be naïve to think that it will take five years for the competition to match and generate whatever advantage is created by this new approach. Competition will likely be able to purchase the same equipment and licensing rights. If it becomes clear that this strategy is working well for Greetings, the competitors will be quick to follow suit. (b) Quality must be assured. The analysis assumed that the “in-store” printing process can match the supply and quality of traditional prints. Selling a poor quality product to valued customers could result in lost business. (c) What about new prints that become popular? Can reasonably priced license agreements be secured, on a timely basis, for new popular prints? (d) Will acquiring a license right become a bidding war?

CASE 4 (Continued) (e) The analysis assumes that the expanded market will turn additional profits with the purchase of related products. Although this may be reasonable, it is only an educated guess.

Students will likely develop additional issues.

4.

Memo: The one-page memo should be divided into two sections: (a) Conclusion and support (b) Suggestions Conclusion Our initial analysis points to a decision to purchase the printing-ondemand equipment. This option enables the Greetings stores to maintain and build customer relationships. The projections provided point to a net present value of $119,687. By not purchasing the equipment, profits will decline during this period.

Any capital budgeting decision must rely on estimates and assumptions.

To test the sensitivity of the assumptions used, I redid the analysis assuming costs would be 10% higher than projected, and cash inflows would be 10% lower. Under these more conservative assumptions the project’s net present value is a negative $72,283. While every effort was made to arrive at the most accurate estimates possible, it is not unusual for estimates to differ from actual results by as much as 10%.

Other concerns merit further investigation before a decision is made.

First, this analysis was based on an assumption that the project will provide a competitive advantage for a five-year period. This may prove to be too optimistic. If the project is successful, the competition will certainly adopt these same techniques as quickly as possible. It may be that a competitive advantage is provided for only a three-year period. In addition, a market test should be performed to ensure that the quality of these prints is acceptable to the target customers. Also, licensing arrangements need to be pursued further to ensure that popular prints can be obtained at a reasonable price, and that contract terms can be negotiated to ensure that licensing fees stay relatively constant during this period.

Case 4-3

CASE 4 (Continued) Suggestions Purchasing equipment should be only one component of the decision process. I suggest you challenge the stores and Wall Décor to shorten the time frame to achieve a positive net present value. The target level of success would be to generate enough additional business to generate a positive net present value in a time frame of approximately three years.

Furthermore, the stores and Wall Décor should try to find additional applications for the new equipment purchased.

I also suggest that the decision to purchase the equipment be used as a pilot study. Lessons learned from this project can likely be extended to additional products and services. The key is for management to build a compensation structure that encourages innovation in expanding product-mix offerings within the same store space. For example, the computer used to link the stores to Wall Décor may also be used to help sell a specialty line of reading material for senior citizens. Be assured that the cost advantage created by producing prints on demand will be matched by the competition. The only question is how quickly it will act.

Yes. All organizations should set goals. A large-scale project such as a professional rodeo may not make a profit in the first year. Based on ticket sales, the Auburn Circular Club Pro Rodeo Roundup appears to be a popular attraction. Therefore, if the club uses management accounting techniques successfully to plan, control, and monitor activities, the project should produce a profit in the future.

Civic organizations often give back to the community in a variety of ways, such as providing scholarships, making donations to worthy causes, and volunteering. Auburn Circular Club wants to give back to the community by providing entertainment to the public through an enjoyable three-day family event. Funds raised by the rodeo will then be filtered back into the community via traditional channels.

By sponsoring the rodeo, Auburn Circular Club gains exposure through public radio announcements, fliers, and advertising posters throughout the community. Patrons will look forward to next year’s entertainment, will tell others, and ticket sales will increase. Patrons may also seek to join such a civic-minded organization and support future fund-raising efforts sponsored by the club.

2.

Like profit-seeking organizations, nonprofit organizations should make sure an activity is worth the required investment of time, effort, and monetary resources. Jonathan’s comment implies that the rodeo is expected to fulfill the organization’s goals and objectives.

3.

Yes. Jonathan views this project as a capital investment for the organization—not the purchase of tangible, long-term assets—but a project that will have a positive impact on the organization over a long term. In other words, even though the rodeo reported a loss in its first year, Jonathan appears to believe the rodeo will be profitable in the future and that the community is well served by the club providing a highquality, family-oriented event.

CASE 5 (Continued) 4.

Within a relevant range, most of these costs are fixed costs. In other words, variable costs would be a very small percentage of the costs in any of these categories.

5.

The high and low levels of activity are 96 contestants Saturday night and 68 contestants on Friday. The catering costs at these two levels are $1,243 and $998 respectively. The difference in catering cost is $245 or ($1,243 – $998). The difference in contestants is 28 or (96 – 68). Therefore, the variable cost for catering is $8.75 per contestant ($245 ÷ 28). The fixed cost is determined by subtracting the variable cost at either level from the total cost at the corresponding level as follows:

Total cost Less: Variable costs 96 contestants X $8.75 68 contestants X $8.75 Total fixed costs 6.

Activity Level High Low $1,243 $ 998 840 $ 403

Some suggestions include: • Promote ticket sales for the Friday and Sunday shows.

• Consider renting additional bleachers.

• Include additional entertainment such as a rock or country music star to attract individuals who did not attend the first annual event.

• Increase revenue by having members of Auburn Circular Club provide concessions to the public instead of outsourcing concessions to a local youth organization.

• Increase revenue by raising ticket prices.

The costs associated with Shelley’s rodeo apparel are not relevant costs. First, even if these were costs incurred by the rodeo, they would be considered sunk costs, which are never relevant. Second, they are personal costs of Shelley and not relevant to the rodeo.

You should encourage the committee to accept the offer of the tent and Shady’s Bar-B-Q catering. Because there is room for additional banners in the arena, the only relevant costs to consider here are the potential savings of $3,341 for contestant hospitality and the cost of the two banners totaling $96. Even if there was no space in the arena for additional banners, the Committee should consider accepting the tent and the Bar-B-Q meal offered by Shady’s and consider eliminating other sponsors. A better alternative, however, would be to extend the arena in order to add more signs or provide another way to advertise sponsors.

For example, include them in radio and television advertising. The cost is an opportunity cost; i.e., the foregone benefit ($3,341 cost savings) that would be lost from not accepting Shady’s and the Fun Shop’s offers.

Yes, it is important for Michael to stipulate certain criteria during planning for his new business. Michael is wise to set criteria other than simply making a profit. First, Michael wants to do something he enjoys. Because he has prior experience in a related industry and he has envisioned having his own business he will be better prepared to handle the responsibilities of this new business. Michael’s positive attitude will be reflected in the way he handles employees and customers. Michael’s business will probably come from customers such as university groups, church groups, civic organizations, youth athletic clubs, and secondary school groups. Because Michael is offering quality shirts at a modest price, he will, in effect, be contributing to the community. In addition, as Michael’s company becomes more profitable he will give back to the community through cash donations to some of these groups. Michael’s foresight (wanting to grow and be more successful every year) will encourage him to make decisions that will profit the business not just in the short run, but also in the long run.

The difference in the high and low levels of activity is 6,000 units (8,000 units in September less 2,000 units in January). The difference in utility costs is $300 ($1,400 – $1,100). Therefore, estimated variable cost per unit is $.05 and total fixed costs are $1,000 computed as follows: $300 ÷ 6,000 = $.05 $1,400 – ($.05 X 8,000) = $1,000 The difference in maintenance costs is $198 ($1,914 – $1,716). Therefore, estimated variable cost per unit is $.033 and total fixed costs are $1,650 computed as follows: $198 ÷ 6,000 = $.033 $1,914 – ($.033 X 8,000) = $1,650 If the company has sales of $12,000, the units sold total 750 ($12,000 ÷ $16). Therefore, total variable costs relating to utilities and maintenance for 750 shirts total $62.25 computed as follows: 750 shirts X $.05 = $37.50 750 shirts X $.033 = $24.75 If the company has sales of $12,000, the total fixed costs would be $2,650 ($1,000 + $1,650).

15. Answers will vary. Some students will argue that the 10 percent commission is too high and Michael should try to find someone with similar qualifications who is willing to work for a smaller commission.

Other students will argue that with Cary Sue’s contacts, sales would be much lower without Cary Sue. In addition, they may argue that if sales are low, Cary Sue’s commission will also be low.

The Armstrong Helmet Company likely uses a process cost system.

Process costing is used when large volumes of a homogenous product are produced on a continuous basis. Armstrong Helmet Company would find it useful, using a process costing system, to identify the cost of each production batch of bicycle helmets.

6.

If Armstrong Helmet Company decides to produce additional helmets (e.g., baseball, hockey, football, etc., or different models of bicycle helmets), it may find it useful to move to a job order costing system.
