Landscaping Pros (LP) is a yard and lawn maintenance company. Up to now, they have received significant business from both commercial and private service contracts. However, management is concerned that the segment that services private homes has been experiencing losses, and is considering discontinuing that segment of the company. Following is financial information for this past month:
Commercial:
Revenue from commercial: $20,000
Contribution margin percentage from commercial: 50%
Operating income/ (loss) from commercial: $5,000
Private:
Revenue from private: $1,000
Contribution margin percentage from private: (5%)
Operating income/ (loss) from private: ($900)
Management is concerned that some clients may cancel their commercial contracts if the private service is discontinued, because the owners of several of LP’s commercial clients use the private service as well. After conducting an analysis, management estimates that 5% of LP’s commercial revenue would be lost if the private service were discontinued.
By how much would Landscaping Pro’s profits change if the private service line were dropped?
Lansing should not be permitted to continue this practice for several reasons. First, it distorts the quarterly earnings for both the division and the company. The distortions of the division’s quarterly earnings are troubling because the manipulations may mask real signs of trouble. The distortions of the company’s quarterly earnings are troubling because they may mislead external users of the financial statements. Second, Lansing should not be rewarded for manipulating earnings. This sets a moral tone in the company that is likely to lead to even deeper trouble. Indeed, the permissive attitude of top management toward the manipulation of earnings may indicate the existence of other, even more serious, ethical problems in the company. Third, a clear message should be sent to division managers like Lansing that their job is to manage their operations, not their earnings. If they keep on top of operations and manage well, the earnings should take care of themselves.
Lando and L3-37 form an equal partnership during the current year. Lando contributes cash of $110,000 and $50,000 worth of services, and L3-37 contributes property (adjusted basis of $90,000, fair market value of $260,000) subject to a nonrecourse liability of $100,000. What is the outside basis for each of the partners and what is the partnership’s inside basis.
Lansing Electronics Inc. manufactures a variety of printers, scanners, and fax machines in its two divisions: the PSF Division and the Components Division. The Components Division produces electronic components that can be used by the PSF Division. All the components this division produces can be sold to outside customers; however, from the beginning, nearly 90 percent of its output has been used internally. The current policy requires that all internal transfers of components be transferred at full cost. Recently, Cam DeVonn, the chief executive officer of Lansing Electronics, decided to investigate the transfer pricing policy. He was concerned that the current method of pricing internal transfers might force decisions by divisional managers that would be suboptimal for the firm. As part of his inquiry, he gathered some information concerning Component Y34, which is used by the PSF Division in its production of a basic scanner, Model SC67. The PSF Division sells 40,000 units of Model SC67 each year at a unit price of $42. Given current market conditions, this is the maximum price that the division can charge for Model SC67. The cost of manufacturing the scanner follows:
Component Y34 …………. $ 6.50
Direct materials ………….. 12.50
Direct labor ………………. 3.00
Variable overhead ……….. 1.00
Fixed overhead …………… 15.00
Total unit cost …………….$38.00
The scanner is produced efficiently, and no further reduction in manufacturing costs is possible. The manager of the Components Division indicated that she could sell 40,000 units (the division’s capacity for this part) of Component Y34 to outside buyers at $12 per unit. The PSF Division could also buy the part for $12 from external suppliers. She supplied the following details on the manufacturing cost of the component:
Direct materials …………….$2.50
Direct labor ………………… 0.50
Variable overhead ………….. 1.00
Fixed overhead …………….. 2.50
Total unit cost ………………$6.50
Required:
1. Compute the firmwide contribution margin associated with Component Y34 and Model SC67. Also, compute the contribution margin earned by each division.
2. Suppose that Cam DeVonn abolishes the current transfer pricing policy and gives divisions autonomy in setting transfer prices. Can you predict what transfer price the manager of the Components Division will set? What should be the minimum transfer price for this part? The maximum transfer price?
3. Given the new transfer pricing policy, predict how this will affect the production decision of the PSF Division manager for Model SC67. How many units of Component Y34 will the manager of the PSF Division purchase, either internally or externally?
4. Given the new transfer price set by the Components Division and your answer to Requirement 3, how many units of Y34 will be sold externally?
5. Given your answers to Requirements 3 and 4, compute the firmwide contribution margin. What has happened? Was Cam’s decision to grant additional decentralization good or bad?
Landmark Coal operates a mine. During July, the company obtained 500 tons of ore, which yielded 250 pounds of gold and 63,100 pounds of copper. The joint cost related to the operation was $500,000. Gold sells for $325 per ounce and copper sells for $0.93 per pound. Allocate the joint costs using the relative sales values. With these costs, what is the profit or loss associated with Copper?
What are three factors that impact the planning process? How do these factors impact the planning process? What role does organization responsibility and ethics play in the planning process?
Factors that affect planning process of a business are current economic conditions,priorities, budget, organizational responsibilities and ethics.Financial support is always a major concern for…
Landlord-Tenant Law Worth 220 points
HINT: See Chapters 29 and 30 of the text to help understand some of the legal issues covered in this assignment.
Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good, long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.
Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)
Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.
The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.
The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.
The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture, and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an electrical socket.
Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.
Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.

Lani,Thanks for your concern; however, please reassess the assignment for this question is one of my single premier questions of the day, thank you! (The question is “Provide a meaningful response to the answer already given”.)Q – Discuss Wodiczko’s comment, “It seems easier to be honest speaking to thousands of people through a monument than to tell the truth at home to the closest person.”VeronicaA – Wodiczko’s comment means that participants are free to express themselves through a monument, to a large audience without being judged. It allows for their tragedies to be told and they are not left with fear, wondering what the reaction(s) will be or how they will be judged by the person(s) on the other end. It also opens the public’s eyes to the tragedies and misfortunes that people have had to live through while allowing the participants the opportunity to express whatever they are feeling and what they are struggling with. This technique and style of art is both moving and therapeutic. Course Hero Question –Provide a meaningful response to the answer above.Course Hero Criteria – No word limit and no page requirement; your responses need to be substantial, meaning they should contribute some further thoughts to the conversation. Responses saying only “I agree,” or “Good Job” are empty posts and not counted towards your post total. Response must add to and advances the discussion; be thoughtful, introspective, and relevant to topic; include a personal example or application.References – http://www.art21.org/texts/krzysztof-wodiczko/interview-krzysztof-wodiczko-hiroshima-projectionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
