Profit Planning and Control
This case is a manufacturer and could make specialty bikes, ski or outdoor equipment, computers, food like chocolates, saltwater taffy, cookies, or donuts, etc.
Create the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of the cash flow from the following information.
Use the following information for the learning experiences

Sales price/unit = $100
Variable manufacturing costs/unit = $60
Fixed manufacturing costs = $210,000
Fixed sales & administration costs = $190,000
Business income tax rate = 25%
Current assets = $250,000 (Cash $50,000, Accounts Receivables $100,000, Inventory $100,000)
Fixed assets = $750,000
Current liabilities = $200,000 (Accounts Payable $100,000, Short Term Debt $100,000)
Long Term Debt = $300,000

- Use ABC to allocate manufacturing overhead (Learning Objective 2)Several years after reengineering its production process, King Corporation hired a new controller, Christine Erickson . She developed an ABC system very similar to the one used by King's chief rival. Part of the reason Erickson developed the ABC system was because King's profits had been declining, even though the company had shifted its product mix toward the product that had appeared most profitable under the old system . Before adopting the new ABC system, the company had used a plantwide overhead rate, based on direct labor hours developed years ago .For the upcoming year, King's budgeted ABC manufacturing overhead allocation rates are as follows :ActivityMaterials handling ..........................

A retailer has offered to purchase 20,000 oil filters for $1.55 per filter. Of the total manufacturing cost per filter of $2.10, $1.30 is the variable manufacturing cost per filter. For this special order, Shilling would have to buy a special stamping machine that costs $8,000 to mark the customer's logo on the special order oil filters. The machine would be scrapped when the special order is complete. This special order would use manufacturing capacity that would other- wise be idle. No variable nonmanufacturing costs would be incurred by the special order. Regular sales would not be affected by the special order.

Sell as is or process further (Learning Objective 7) OrganicPlus processes organic milk into plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells plain yogurt to hospitals, nursing homes, and restaurants in bulk, one- gallon containers. Each batch, processed at a cost of $830, yields 750 gallons of plain yogurt. OrganicPlus sells the one-gallon tubs for $6.00 each and spends $0.10 for each plastic tub. Management has recently begun to reconsider its strategy. OrganicPlus wonders if it would be more profitable to sell individual-sized portions of fruited organic yogurt at local food stores. OrganicPlus could further process each batch of plain yogurt into 16,000 individual portions (3/4 cup each) of fruited yogurt. A recent market analysis indicates that demand for the product exists. OrganicPlus would sell each individual portion for $0.40. Packaging would cost $0.07 per portion, and fruit would cost $0.12 per portion. Fixed costs would not change.
