Problem 6 (Pricing)
Neilsen's Woodworking Company came to you for assistance when the
bookkeeper presented the income statement showing large loss for the
second year of operations: The loss of P70,000 was expected for the first
year when the company operated at low level. However, the management of
Neilsen's Woodworking was shocked to discover a loss of P160,000 for the
second year.
The president of the company could not understand how they could be
operating at near-capacity and losing money. The company was consistently
short of cash, a common problem when operations are expanding.
From your preliminary examinations, you found very poor accounting
records. You are satisfied that the data in the financial statements are correct
and that there is no significant fraud. The company manufactures a line of
kitchen cabinets. Because of the lack of detailed records, it is impossible to
develop data about the cost of the prodúct. The selling price was set by uhe
president to undersell competition. Condensed income statements are
presented below.
