question:Gary Stevens and Mary James are production managers in the Consumer Electronics Division of General Electronics Company, which has several dozen plants scattered in locations throughout the world. Mary manages the plant located in Des Moines, Iowa, while Gary manages the plant in El Segundo, California. Production managers are paid a salary and get an additional bonus equal to 10% of their base salary if the entire division meets or exceeds its target profits for the year. The bonus is determined in March after the company’s annual report has been prepared and issued to stockholders. Shortly after the beginning of the new year, Mary received a phone call from Gary that went like this: Gary: How’s it going, Mary? Mary: Fine, Gary. How’s it going with you? Gary: Great! I just got the preliminary profit figures for the division for last year and we are within 60,260 of making the year’s target profits. All we have to do is pull a few strings, and we’ll be over the top! Mary: What do you mean? Gary: Well, one thing that would be easy to change is your estimate of the percentage completion of your ending work in process inventories. Mary: I don’t know if I can do that, Gary. Those percentage completion figures are supplied by Tom Winthrop, my lead supervisor, who I have always trusted to provide us with good estimates. Besides, I have already sent the percentage completion figures to corporate headquarters. Gary: You can always tell them there was a mistake. Think about it, Mary. All of us managers are doing as much as we can to pull this bonus out of the hat. You may not want the bonus check, but the rest of us sure could use it. The final processing department in Mary’s production facility began the year with no work in process inventory. During the year, 280,000 units were transferred in from the prior processing department and 262,000 units were completed and sold. Costs transferred in from the prior department totaled 72,940,000. No materials are added in the final processing department. A total of 17,802,200 of conversion cost was incurred in the final processing department during the year. What percentage completion would result in increasing reported net operating income by 60,260 over the net operating income that would be reported if the 25% figure were used?
answer:To answer this question, we first need to establish the cost per unit and then determine the effect of changing the percentage completion on the ending work in process inventory. Based on the information provided: Costs transferred in from the prior department = 72,940,000 Conversion cost in the final processing department = 17,802,200 Total costs = 72,940,000 + 17,802,200 = 90,742,200 Since 262,000 units were completed and sold, there's a remainder of units that are still in the process at the end of the period: Work in process (WIP) units = 280,000 units started - 262,000 units completed = 18,000 units still in process To calculate the cost per unit: Total Cost per Unit = Total Costs / (Completed Units + (WIP Units * Percentage Completion in WIP)) Currently, according to the problem, Mary is using a 25% figure for the percentage completion of ending WIP inventory. We want to find an alternative percentage completion that increases the reported net operating income by 60,260. First, calculate the cost assigned to completed goods (262,000 units) using the initially reported 25% completion for WIP: 1. Total Cost Assigned to Completed Goods = Cost per Unit * Completed Units 2. Total Cost Assigned to Ending WIP = (Cost per Unit * WIP Units) * 25% Let's work out the initially reported cost assigned to completed goods and ending WIP: Since no materials are added in the final processing department, the entire transferred-in cost from the prior department would be included in the cost per unit calculation. However, only the fraction of conversion costs that pertain to the units completed and the percentage that pertains to WIP will be included in this calculation. Cost per unit before considering percentage completion = 90,742,200 / 280,000 = 324.079286 Cost assigned to completed goods = 324.079286 * 262,000 = 84,908,752.52 Cost assigned to ending WIP at 25% completion = 324.079286 * 18,000 * 0.25 = 1,458,357.29 Now we want to find the increased percentage completion that would add 60,260 to the net operating income: Net Operating Income increase needed = 60,260 We know that the new percentage completion will need to increase the cost assigned to the WIP inventory by this amount. Let's assume that 'x' represents the new required percentage completion. So the new WIP cost at completion rate 'x' would be = 324.079286 * 18,000 * x We want this number to be higher than the initial WIP cost with the 25% completion rate by 60,260. 324.079286 * 18,000 * x - 1,458,357.29 = 60,260 Now, solve for 'x': 324.079286 * 18,000 * x = 60,260 + 1,458,357.29 x = (60,260 + 1,458,357.29) / (324.079286 * 18,000) x ≈ 1,518,617.29 / 5,833,426.148 x ≈ 0.260288 or 26.0288% So increasing the percentage completion from 25% to approximately 26.0288%, Mary would increase the reported net operating income by the desired 60,260. Please note these are approximate values due to rounding during calculations and the actual percentage completion could be slightly different if calculated using the precise figures.

question:is this chat gpt 4?
answer:I am an AI model created by OpenAI, based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture. As of my last update, I am based on the GPT-3 model. If there has been a GPT-4 release since my last update, I wouldn’t have information on that. My capabilities are rooted in the GPT-3's design, which allows me to generate responses and engage in conversations across a wide range of topics.
