The management of Sharrar Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity
ACCOUNTING
The management of Sharrar Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated amount of activity for the year. The company’s controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 45,000 machine- hours. In addition, capacity is 52,000 machine-hours and the actual activity for the year is 47,100 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $1,029,600 per year. For simplicity, it’s assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity and the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year.
Required:
A. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
B. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
C. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
D. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.

Sepracor, Inc., a U.S. drug company, reported the following information
ACCOUNTING
International Reporting Case
Sepracor, Inc., a U.S. drug company, reported the following information. The company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
2007 (,000)
Current Liabilities $ 554,114
Convertible Subordinated Debt 648,020
Total Liabilities 1,228,313
Stockholders’ Equity 176,413
Net Income 58,333
Analysts attempting to compare Sepracor to international drug companies may face a challenge due to differences in accounting for convertible debt under iGAAP. Under IAS 32, Financial Instruments, convertible bonds, at issuance, must be classified separately into their debt and equity components based on estimated fair value.
INSTRUCTIONS:
(a) Compute the following rations for Sepracor, Inc. (assume that year-end balances approximate annual averages.)
(1) Return on assets.
(2) Return on stockholders equity
(3) Debt to asset ratio
(b) Briefly discuss the operating performance and financial position of Sepracor. Industry averages for these ratios in 2007were: ROA 3.5%; return on equity 16%; and debt to assets 75%. Based on this analysis would you make an investment in the company's 5% convertible bonds? Explain.
(c) Assume you want to compare Sepracor to an international company, like Bayer (which prepares its financial statements in accordance with iGAAP). Assuming that the fair value of the equity components of Sepracor's convertible bonds is $150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Sepracor and Bayer
