Almost Over the Line? The accounting firm of Glofry and Tammar (G&T) has been asked to arrange for a $2 million loan for Tang Enterprises by its client Ted Hoover at Hoover Company. Hoover Company is involved in a number of different business operations and has a net worth of $20 million. A senior partner at G&T instructed Henry Morgan, a G&T accountant, to make sure that the loan was secured by collateral. Tang forwarded ownership shares from a foreign company as collateral for the loan. Upon investigation, it was determined that these shares were worthless. Tang Enterprises then sent prime bank guarantees that—had a fair value of $5 million. Upon the receipt of the guarantees, Glofry and Tammar arranged for the transfer of the money to Tang. A month after the money had been transferred to Tang, Ted Hoover asked G&T for a letter to certify the authenticity of the bank guarantees so that they could be sold. What should the accounting firm of Glofry and Tammar do under these circumstances?

BLEM 8–26 Completing a Master Budget [LO2, LO4, LO7, LO8, LO9, LO10]



The following data relate to the operations of Picanuy Corporation, a wholesale distributor of consumer goods:

a.       The gross margin is 30% of sales. (In other words, cost of goods sold is 70% of sales.)



b.       Actual and budgeted sales data are as follows:



 



https://files.transtutors.com/test/qimg/c25a5205-610a-4fc9-95b1-362ebd79e883.png



 



c.        Sales are 40% for cash and 60% on credit. Credit sales are collected in the month following sale. The accounts receivable at December 31 are the result of December credit sales.



d.       Each month’s ending inventory should equal 20% of the following month’s budgeted cost of goods sold.



e.        One-quarter of a month’s inventory purchases is paid for in the month of purchase; the other three-quarters is paid for in the following month. The accounts payable at December 31 are the result of December purchases of inventory.



f.        Monthly expenses are as follows: commissions, $12,000; rent, $1,800; other expenses (exclud- ing depreciation), 8% of sales. Assume that these expenses are paid monthly. Depreciation is



$2,400 for the quarter and includes depreciation on new assets acquired during the quarter.



g.        Equipment will be acquired for cash: $3,000 in January and $8,000 in February.



h.       Management would like to maintain a minimum cash balance of $5,000 at the end of each month. The company has an agreement with a local bank that allows the company to borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total loan balance of $50,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that inter- est is not compounded. The company would, as far as it is able, repay the loan plus accumu- lated interest at the end of the quarter.

Knickknack, Inc., prices its products at 120 percent of cost, which yields target prices of $796.80 for odds and $1,195.20 for ends. Recently, however, Knickknack has been challenged in the market for ends by a European competitor, Bricabrac Corporation. A new entrant in this market, Bricabrac has been sell- ing ends for $880 each. Knickknack’s president is puzzled by Bricabrac’s ability to sell ends at such a low cost. She has asked you (the controller) to look into the matter. You have decided that Knickknack’s traditional, volume-based product-costing system may be causing cost distortion between the firm’s two products. Ends are a high-volume, relatively simple product. Odds, on the other hand, are quite complex and exhibit a much lower volume. As a result, you have begun work on an activity-based costing system.



Required:



1.      Let each of the overhead categories in the budget represent an activity cost pool. Categorize each in terms of the type of activity (e.g., unit-level activity).



2.      The following cost drivers have been identified for the four activity cost pools.



 



https://files.transtutors.com/test/qimg/5b099262-44ca-4476-acfe-db456ff6165d.png



You have gathered the following additional information:



•      Each odd requires 8 machine hours, whereas each end requires 2 machine hours.



•      Odds are manufactured in production runs of 25 units each. Ends are manufactured in 125 unit batches.



•      Three-quarters of the engineering activity, as measured in terms of change orders, is related to odds.



•      The plant has 3,840 square feet of space, 80 percent of which is used in the production of odds. For each activity cost pool, compute a pool rate.



3.      Determine the unit cost, for each activity cost pool, for odds and ends.



4.      Compute the new product cost per unit for odds and ends, using the ABC system.



5.      Using the same pricing policy as in the past, compute prices for odds and ends. Use the product costs determined by the ABC system.



6.      Show that the ABC system fully assigns the total budgeted manufacturing overhead costs of



$3,264,000.



7.      Show how Knickknack’s traditional, volume-based costing system distorted its product costs. (Use Exhibit 5–10 for guidance.)

C.F. Wong holds a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality, large-cap shares. The current value of Wong’s portfolio is $475 000, but he is concerned that the market is heading for a big fall (perhaps as much as 10%) over the next three to six months. He doesn’t want to sell all his shares because he feels they all have good long-term potential and should perform nicely once share prices have bottomed out. As a result, he decides to look into the possibility of using index options to hedge his portfolio. Assume that the ASX 200 currently stands at 2910 points and among the many put options available on this index are two that have caught his eye: (1) a six month put with a strike price of 2890 that is trading at 26, and (2) a six-month put with a 2830 strike price that is quoted at 12.



a. How many ASX 200 puts would Wong have to buy to protect his $475 000 share portfolio? How much would it cost him to buy the necessary number of 2890 puts? How much would it cost to buy the 2830 puts?



b. Now, considering the performance of both the put options and the Wong portfolio, determine how much net profit (or loss) Wong will earn from each of these put hedges if both the market (as measured by the ASX 200) and the Wong portfolio fall by 10% over the next six months? What if the market and the Wong portfolio fall by only 5%? What if they go up by 10%?



c. Do you think Wong should set up the put hedge and, if so, using which put option? Explain.
