During 2017, Fanning Manufacturing Company incurred $64,400,000 of research and development (R&D) costs to create a long-lif

e battery to use in computers. In accordance with FASB standards, the entire R&D cost was recognized as an expense in 2017. Manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labor, and overhead) are expected to be $66 per unit. Packaging, shipping, and sales commissions are expected to be $8 per unit. Fanning expects to sell 1,400,000 batteries before new research renders the battery design technologically obsolete. During 2017, Fanning made 446,000 batteries and sold 407,000 of them.
Required

a. Identify the upstream and downstream costs.

b. Determine the 2017 amount of cost of goods sold and the ending inventory balance that would appear on the financial statements that are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

c. Determine the sales price assuming that Fanning desires to earn a profit margin that is equal to 30 percent of the total cost of developing, making, and distributing the batteries.

Answer:

Since the question involves multiple steps, please refer to the explanation section for a point-wise answer

Explanation:

(a) Imagine a "stream" to mean the flow of the product from the inception of the idea to the sale of the final output. Therefore, upstream and downstream costs are those are those that club various segments of cost during the manufacturing & selling process on the basis of when the cost is incurred in this cycle. Up-stream costs include the costs incurred before the beginning of the manufacturing process. Therefore, product design, structuring of packaging, R&D are all considered upstream costs. Downstream costs are incurred during the production process and the subsequent sale and customer service expenses. In the context of the question, Upstream costs for Fanning Manufacturing would be R&D expenses. Downstream cost include Manufacturing costs, packaging, shipping, and sales commission.

(b) Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) would be the amount of units sold (i.e $407,000) multiplied by the manufacturing costs ($66). Therefore, COGS would be $26,862,000.

A total of 446,000 units were produced which means the inventory costs (units x manufacturing costs) would be $29,436,000. Out of this $26,862,000 were expensed out as COGS. Therefore, ending inventory balance would be the differential amount of $2,574,000.

(c) Fanning wants to earn a profit margin of 30% of the total cost of developing, making and distributing the batteries. Therefore the company wants a profit equivalent to 30% of all the costs incurred from R&D to sales commission. Total cost is COGS+Selling, Packaging, shipping, sales commission + R&D which is $94,518,000. 30% of this is $28,355,400. So, sales revenue should be this amount PLUS all the costs incurred which would be $122,873,400 (<em>this is assuming no other expenses like interest and taxes and other income).</em>

Sales per unit (or sales price) would therefore be $122,873,400/407,000 units sold = 301.9 ≅ $302 per unit

(d)

Sales                                                                 122,914,000.00  

Cost of Goods Sold                                         (26,862,000.00)

Gross Profit                                                        96,052,000.00  

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses  (3,256,000.00)  

Research & Development                                (64,400,000.00)

Operating Profit/Net Profit                                 28,396,000.00  

Note: <u>Again, this is assuming no other income and expenses. Since interest and tax expenses are assumed to be zero, operating income is equal to net income</u>

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B, A bank approves mortgage for a customer.

Explanation:

Injecting money into the economy means increasing money supply in the economy. It means more money is in the circulation. So when a bank approves a mortgage for a customer, it means bank is releasing money which will be in circulation and becomes a part of the economy. Mortgage is basically the loan or money which a bank or financial institution lends to a person or company on an agreed upon interest rate in exchange of their property with the condition that the bank will sell the property to get its money back if the borrower fails to return the loaned money. So the best example of how a bank can inject money into the economy is to approve the mortgage for a customer.

yan [13]

Answer:

Amount paid in;

Bonuses to employees = $5,150

State tax = $5,150

Federal tax = $41,200

Explanation:

The bonus paid to employees, federal tax and state tax are all a percentage of the profit made by the company.

The amount of each of these elements may be computed by applying the applicable percentage on the profit made by the company before any of these deductions.

amounts paid in;

bonuses =  5% * $103,000

= $5,150

state tax  =  5% * $103,000

= $5,150

and

federal tax =  40% * $103,000

= $41,200
