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.

d. Prepare a GAAP-based income statement for 2017. Use the sales price developed in Requirement c.

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>

A present value of $2600 is invested in an account with an annual interest rate of 4.1% . Determine the minimum amount of time r
Olin [163]

Answer:

The minimum amount of time required is:

26.82 years.

Explanation:

Present value = $2,600

Future value = $7,800 ($2,600 * 3)

Annual interest rate = 4.1%

Monthly interest rate = 4.1%/12 = 0.342%

$2,600 will need to be invested for 321.781 (26.82 years) periods to reach the future value of $7,800.00.

FV (Future Value) $7,800.00

PV (Present Value) $2,600.00

N (Number of Periods) 321.781

I/Y (Interest Rate) 0.342%

PMT (Periodic Payment) $0.00

Starting Investment $2,600.00

Total Principal $2,600.00

Total Interest $5,200.00

Sheryl’s Shipping had sales last year of $10,000. The cost of goods sold was $6,500, general and administrative expenses were $1
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

What are earnings before interest and taxes?

To find this figure, we substract the cost of goods sold, general and administrative expenses, and depreciaction expense from the total sales:

Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) = $10,000 - $6,500 - $1,000 - $1,000 = $1,500

What is net income?

To find the net income, we take the EBIT we found above, and substract from it the interest expense, which gives us the taxable income:

Taxable Income = $1,500 - $500

                           = $1,000

Now that we have the taxable income, we multiply this figure by the tax rate, to obtain the tax expense.

Tax expense = $1,000 x 35%

                      = $350

Finally, our net income is equal to the taxable income minus the tax expense:

Net Income = $1,000 - $350

                    = $650

What is cash flow from operations?

We add the non-cash expenses to net income to find this figure. In this case, we only have one non-cash expense: depreciation expense.

Cash flow from operations = $650 + $1,000

                                              = $1,650

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Their average hourly productivity as a team for chicken breasts will be

45.

Explanation:

Here, it is given that Mike and Tom debone chicken breasts for Ted' chicken company.

Mike debones 30 chicken breasts,

Meanwhile Tom is having his own experience in this work and knows how to calculate the hourly work

So, Tom allows Mike to debone only 60 chicken breasts per hour.

Now its mentioned that both Tom and Mike had worked 40hrs per week.

So, their average hourly productivity as a team will be:

                 frac\ {{30} +{60}} {2}

                    ⇒ 45

So, their average hourly productivity as a team for chicken breasts will be 45.

A stock sells for $6.99 on December 31, providing the seller with a 6% annual return. What was the price of the stock at the beg
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Correct option is 6.59

Explanation:

Selling price of stock at the end of the year is $6.99. Annual return rate is 6%. Price of stock at the beginning will be present value of stock valued at the end discounted at 6%. Computation is as shown below:

Present\ value\ or\ price\ of\ stock = Selling\ price\left ( \frac{1}{1+i} \right )^{n}

= 6.99\left ( \frac{1}{1+0.06} \right )^{1}

= \frac{6.99}{1.06}

= $6.59

Therefore, Stock's price in the beginning of the year is $6.59.
