42) Jay Farrar Company is a manufacturing company that specializes in writing
instruments. The past year was a difficult one for the company, as it sought to retain its
share in a market in which the largest competitors were also rapid innovators. Jay Farrar
introduced a new product late in the year, even though testing was not complete. It was
a pen designed with two cartridges: one supplying ink and the other correction fluid. A
person could then switch easily between writing and correcting errors. It was priced
fairly high, and was never heavily advertised. Even so, the Correct-O-Pen, as the
product was named, was an overwhelming success.
The success of the product has Josh Ritter, the manager of the New Products division,
worried, however. He was concerned that quality problems would begin occurring,
since the longevity of the pen and stability of the correction fluid formulation had not
been tested. He did not want sales personnel to get the bonuses that appeared to be
indicated, since they might aggressively promote a product that would fail in use. He
preferred to complete testing of the pen first, so that more confidence could be placed in
the results.
Top management, however, declined the tests. Mr. Ritter then instructed you, the
accountant, not to prorate payroll taxes or rent expense for the rest of the year, but to
show them as current expenses in total. In this way, the new product would appear to be
only slightly profitable.
Required:
1>Describe the alternatives that you as an accountant would have in this situation.
2>Indicate which alternative is best.
