Answer:

Harbour Company

1. Overhead rate, using traditional costing system with machine hours as the cost driver:

Predetermined rate = $175,200/3,000 = $58.40

Overhead Cost assigned to each product:

                                      Home            Work

Expected production   1,700              1,300

Cost assigned =         $99,280      $75,920

2. Production cost per unit:

                                              Home                        Work

Expected production            700 units                   400 units

Direct materials cost $21,000 (30 * 700)     $19,200 (48 * 400)

Direct labor cost          14,000 (20 * 700)       12,000 (30 * 400)

3. Gross margin per unit:

                                      Home                        Work

Sales price per unit     $300.00                  $500.00

Cost price per unit          191.83                     267.80

Gross margin per unit  $108.17                   $232.20

4. Activity Rates, using ABC system:

Cost Pools:                          Cost Drivers                     Usage     Rates

Setup costs     $ 68,800  Number of setups                   100     $688

Quality control   58,400  Number of inspections           730     $80

Maintenance     48,000   Number of machine hours 3,000     $16

5. Assignment of overhead costs to each product, using ABC:

                                         Rate      Home                        Work

Setup costs     $ 68,800  $688  $28,896 (42* $688) $39,904 (58*$688)

Quality control   58,400  $80       27,200 (340*$80)     31,200 (390*$80)

Maintenance     48,000   $16       27,200 (1,700*$16)    20,800 (1,300*$16)

Total overhead $175,200         $104,096                      $91,904

6. Production costs:

                                              Home                        Work

Expected production            700 units                   400 units

Direct materials cost $21,000 (30 * 700)     $19,200 (48 * 400)

Total costs              $139,096                      $123,104

Cost per unit             $198.71                        $307.76

7. Gross margin per unit:

                                      Home                        Work

Sales price per unit     $300.00                  $500.00

Cost price per unit         198.71                       307.76

Gross margin per unit $101.29                    $192.24

8. Gross margins per unit compared:

                                              Home                        Work

Traditional costing system  $108.17                   $232.20

ABC costing system           $101.29                    $192.24

ABC system looks more equitable than the traditional costing system as the gross margin per unit is reduced for each product line.

Suppose there are only two firms that sell tablets, Padmania and Capturesque. The payoff matrix below shows the profits (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its tablets. For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Padmania prices low and Capturesque prices high, Padmania will earn a profit of $15 million and Capturesque will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and Padmania and Capturesque are both profit-maximizing firms.

Capturesque
Padmania high price low price
high price 11,11 2,15

White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Department
Cutting Finishing
Direct labor-hours 6,100 72,000
Machine-hours 59,000 3,200
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $390,000 $443,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $3.00 -
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour - $4.75

Sandra would like to organize LAB as either an LLC (taxed as a sole proprietorship) or a C corporation. In either form, the entity is expected to generate an 9 percent annual before-tax return on a $710,000 investment. Sandraâs marginal income tax rate is 37 percent, and her tax rate on dividends and capital gains is 23.8 percent (including the 3.8 percent net investment income tax). If Sandra organizes LAB as an LLC, she will be required to pay an additional 2.9 percent for self-employment tax and an additional 0.9 percent for the additional Medicare tax. LABâs income is not qualified business income (QBI) so Sandra is not allowed to claim the QBI deduction. Assume that LAB will distribute all of its after-tax earnings every year as a dividend if it is formed as a C corporation. (Round your intermediate computations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Required:
a. How much cash after taxes would Sandra receive from her investment in the first year if BAL is organized as either an LLC or a C corporation?
b. What is the overall tax rate on BALâs income in the first year if BAL is organized as an LLC or as a C corporation?
