37. Bowman Company manufactures cooling systems. Bowman produces all the parts necessary for its product
Bowman Company manufactures cooling systems. Bowman produces all the parts necessary for its product except for one electronic component, which is purchased from two local suppliers: Manzer Inc. and Buckner Company.

On August 1, 2013, Limbaugh Communications issued $30 million of 10% nonconvertible bonds at 104. The bonds are due on July 31, 2033. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 20 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitled the bondholder to purchase, for $60, one share of Limbaugh CommunicationsAc€?c no par common stock. Interstate Containers purchased 20% of the bond issue. On August 1, 2013, the market value of the common stock was $58 per share and the market value of each warrant was $8.
In February 2024, when LimbaughAc€?cs common stock had a market price of $72 per share and the unamortized discount balance was $1 million, Interstate Containers exercised the warrants it held.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entries on August 1, 2013, to record (a) the issuance of the bonds by Limbaugh and (b) the investment by Interstate.

Plant-wide, department, and ABC indirect cost rates. Roadster Company (RC) designs and produces automotive parts. In 2017, actual variable manufacturing overhead is $280,000. RC’s simple costing system allocates variable manufacturing overhead to its three customers based on machine-hours and prices its contracts based on full costs. One of its customers has regularly complained of being charged noncompetitive prices, so RC’s controller Matthew Draper realizes that it is time to examine the consumption of overhead resources more closely. He knows that there are three main departments that consume overhead resources: design, production, and engineering. Interviews with the department personnel and examination of time records yield the following detailed information:
1. Compute the manufacturing overhead allocated to each customer in 2017 using the simple costing system that uses machine-hours as the allocation base.
2. Compute the manufacturing overhead allocated to each customer in 2017 using department-based manufacturing overhead rates.
3. Comment on your answers in requirements 1 and 2. Which customer do you think was complaining about being overcharged in the simple system? If the new department-based rates are used to price contracts, which customer(s) will be unhappy? How would you respond to these concerns?
4. How else might RC use the information available from its department-by-department analysis of manufacturing overhead costs?
5. RC’s managers are wondering if they should further refine the department-by-department costing system into an ABC system by identifying different activities within each department. Under what conditions would it not be worthwhile to further refine the department costing system into an ABC system?
