9. Accounting Question
The management of a business is concerned about its inability to obtain enough fully trained labour to enable it to meet its present budget projection.
Information concerning the three services offered by the business is as follows:
Service Alpha Beta Gamma Total
A??L000 A??L000 A??L000 A??L000
Variable cost
Materials 6 4 5 15
Labour 9 6 12 27
Expenses 3 2 2 7
Allocated fixed cost 6 15 12 33
Total cost 24 27 31 82
Profit 15 2 2 19
Sales revenue 39 29 33 101
The amount of labour likely to be available amounts to A??L20,000. All of the variable labour is paid at the same hourly rate. You have been asked to prepare a statement of plans ensuring that at least 50 per cent of the budgeted sales revenues are achieved for each service. The balance of labour is used to produce the greatest profit.
Required:
a) Prepare the statement, with explanations, showing the greatest profit available from the limited amount of skilled labour available, within the constraint stated. Hint: Remember that all labour is paid at the same rate.
b) What steps could the business take in an attempt to improve profitability, in the light of the labour shortage?
10. Job costing, journal entries. The University of Chicago Press is
Job costing, journal entries. The University of Chicago Press is wholly owned by the university. It performs the bulk of its work for other university departments, which pay as though the press were an outside business enterprise. The press also publishes and maintains a stock of books for general sale. The Press uses normal costing to cost job. Its job-costing system has two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and one indirect-cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated on the basis of direct manufacturing labor costs).
The following data (in thousands) pertain to 2008.
*The term manufacturing overhead is not used uniformly. Other terms that are often encountered in printing companies include lob overhead and shop overhead.
1. Prepare an overview diagram of the job-costing system at the University of Chicago Press.
2. Prepare journal entries to summarize the 2009 transactions. As your final entry, dispose of the year-end under- or over allocated manufacturing overhead as a write-off to Cost of Goods Sold. Number your entries. Explanations for each entry may be omitted.
3. Show posted T-accounts for all inventories, Cost of Goods Sold, Manufacturing Overhead Control, and Manufacturing OverheadAllocated.

12. Decision by Blades, Inc., to Invest in Thailand
1. Should the sales and the associated costs of 180,000 pairs of roller blades to be sold in Thailand under the existing agreement be included in the capital budgeting analysis to decide whether Blades should establish a subsidiary in Thailand? Should the sales resulting from a renewed agreement be included? Why or why not?
2. Using a spreadsheet, conduct a capital budgeting analysis for the proposed project, assuming that Blades renews the agreement with Entertainment Products. Should Blades establish a subsidiary in Thailand under these conditions?
3. Using a spreadsheet, conduct a capital budgeting analysis for the proposed project assuming that Blades does not renew the agreement with Entertainment Products. Should Blades establish a subsidiary in Thailand under these conditions? Should Blades renew the agreement with Entertainment Products?
4. Since future economic conditions in Thailand are uncertain, Ben Holt would like to know how critical the salvage value is in the alternative you think is most feasible.
5. The future value of the baht is highly uncertain. Under a worst-case scenario, the baht may depreciate by as much as 5 percent annually. Revise your spreadsheet to illustrate how this would affect Blades’ decision to establish a subsidiary in Thailand.
MINI CASE
Since Ben Holt, Blades’ chief financial officer (CFO), believes the growth potential for the roller blade market in Thailand is very high, he, together with Blades’ board of directors, has decided to invest in Thailand. The investment would involve establishing a subsidiary in Bangkok consisting of a manufacturing plant to produce ?oSpeedos,?? Blades’ high-quality roller blades. Holt believes that economic conditions in Thailand will be relatively strong in 10 years, when he expects to sell the subsidiary.

QUESTION 3-29
Mick Karra is the manager of MCZ Drilling Products, which produces a variety of specialty valves for oil field equipment. Recent activity in the oil fields has caused demand to increase drastically, and a decision has been made to open a new manufacturing facility.

17. ADDITIONAL FUNDS NEEDED Morrissey Technologies Inc.’s 2014 financial statements are shown here....
ADDITIONAL FUNDS NEEDED Morrissey Technologies Inc.’s 2014 financial statements are shown here. Suppose that in 2015, sales increase by 10% over 2014 sales. The firm currently has 100,000 shares outstanding. It expects to maintain its 2014 dividend payout ratio and believes that its assets should grow at the same rate as sales. The firm has no excess capacity. However, the firm would like to reduce its Operating costs/Sales ratio to 87 5% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 30%. (It believes its liabilities-to-assets ratio currently is too low relative to the industry average.) The firm will raise 30% of the 2015 forecasted interest bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue long-term bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short-term and long-term debt) is 12 5%. Assume that any common stock issuances or repurchases can be made at the firm’s current stock price of $45.
a. Construct the forecasted financial statements assuming that these changes are made. What are the firm’s forecasted notes payable and long-term debt balances? What is the forecasted addition to retained earnings?
b. If the profit margin remains at 5% and the dividend payout ratio remains at 60%, at what growth rate in sales will the additional financing requirements be exactly zero? In other words, what is the firm’s sustainable growth rate?
