You are an Audit Senior currently planning the 30 June 20X9 audits of Comp Limited (Comp), 
Health Limited (Health) and News Limited (News). At recently scheduled planning meetings 
with Comp, Health and News, you obtain the following overview of this year’s operations for 
each of the three client companies:

Comp is a manufacturer of computer hardware. The old costing system that was developed inhouse, could no longer keep up with the complex and detailed manufacturing costing process 
that provides tender/bid submission costings and the company’s comprehensive reporting
requirements. As a result, Comp purchased and installed a popular off the shelf (not 
customized) costing system to support the highly sophisticated and cost sensitive nature of its 
product designs. Since this system had been utilised by many other firms in the industry, Comp
has not thoroughly tested the adequacy of the features and controls inherent within the system. 
At the same time, the staffs are not feeling confident with the new system due to lack of training 
and supervision. Staff are also concerned that data might be lost when converting to the new 
system.
Health operates chemist shops in Perth. A large proportion of the sales transactions are
conducted in cash. Health claims on having strong control policies and procedures in place to 
monitor the employees handling cash transactions and safeguarding the cash. However, the 
proper implementation of those policies had been questioned by the previous auditor. As Health
is planning to expand to Mandurah and Busselton, it is applying for a bank loan to obtain 
additional funding for the expansion. Before approving the loan, the bank requires Health to
provide them with an audited financial statement. The unaudited figures of current year suggest 
Health’s revenue to have increased significantly by 25 percent from last year while the gross 
profit appears to have increased marginally by 5 percent.
News has been in the paper manufacturing business for the last 17 years. It manufactures and 
distributes paper throughout the Australian continent. During the last five years, News opened 
four new factories in three different locations, financed mainly from bank loans. Due to rapid 
growth in the company, the financial director John Brown is keen to set up an internal audit 
department. Currently the project appears to have stalled, as some of the senior executives do 
not foresee the benefit of setting up such a department and are unwilling to commit any 
additional fund or resources on this plan. The senior executives argue that they are competent 
enough to monitor the internal controls of News.
Required:
Prepare a memorandum to the audit manager, outlining your risk assessments relating to Comp, 
Health and News. When making your risk assessments:
(a) Identify and discuss the risks that may arise from each of the above companies. In your 
explanation, please mention the components of the audit risk model affected.
(b) Identify how the audit plan will be affected and recommend specific audit procedures 
to address these risks.

Melissa and Maui purchased a brand new house. They are both very excited about decorating the interior and the exterior of the house. Melissa plans to have everything colour coordinated. To match the navy blue wall paint, she orders navy blue ceramic vinyl floor tiles from Ceramic Tiles Fiji (CTF). Melissa placed an order for one hundred 30cm by 30cm navy blue ceramic vinyl square tiles. In order to process Melissa’s order, CTF required upfront payment of the entire contract sum of $7,000.00. Melissa attends to the payments on 3 May 2017. The terms of the agreement stipulates: “that the order will be processed within two weeks from the date of the receipt of full payment. That the tiles will be delivered within two weeks from the date of receipt of full payment. It also states that the purchaser has to exclusively engage the services of Delivery Fiji for the delivery of tiles.” Melissa feels it is quite unfair that they have to engage the services of Delivery Fiji and pay them a hefty sum of $100.00 for a very small distance. Melissa wanted to make her own arrangement for delivery at a much cheaper rate, however CTF objected to the same. On 30th May at about 9am some orders (tiles) were ready for delivery. These tiles were for three different buyers and one of them was Melissa. The other two buyers included one Smith and one Misha. The Delivery Fiji delivery truck was required to attend to the loading of the tiles at 9.30am. The tiles were packed in boxes and left at the delivery area at 9.05am with the respective buyer’s initials and were ready to be transported to the buyers. Melissa’s navy blue tiles were packed in a navy blue box and the box was marked with letter “M” on top. There was another light blue box which had tiles for a different buyer Smith but it was unmarked. A purple box contained tiles for Misha and the box was marked with letter “M” on top. All boxes were coloured differently corresponding to the colour of the tiles in the box. Unbeknown to CTF at about 9.30 am, an intruder went into its delivery area and loaded one navy blue carton of tile and drove away. At that time the security officer of CTF who was supposed to be at the delivery area was out in the parking space attending to a relative. Delivery Fiji truck reached CTF’s delivery area at 9.50am to take delivery of all tiles. The attending staff loaded the tiles in the delivery truck. They were provided with a list by CTF which had the three buyers’ addresses written in different coloured ink (light blue, navy blues and purple) corresponding to the colour of the carton of tile. Delivery Fiji mistakenly delivers the purple coloured carton to Melissa’s residence. Melissa acknowledges receipt by signing the delivery docket. The delivery docket had a clause which exempted Delivery Fiji from all forms of liabilities once the goods were safely delivered to its destination and the same was acknowledged. Melissa opened the box after two weeks when the tile layer arrived at her place to lay the tile and, to her dismay the tiles were not what she had ordered and expected it to be. It was not ceramic navy blue vinyl tiles instead it was plain light blue tiles. Melisa now wishes to return the tiles to CTF and claim her money and damages. CTF is disputing this by stating that the return of the sale period ended after 3 days from the date of delivery. Melissa further argues that they received a different order altogether and that CTF breached their agreement. CTF argues that the property and risk passed to Melissa once the tiles were packed and left at the delivery area. Melissa seeks to sue CTF and Delivery Fiji. CTF convenes a discussion with Delivery Fiji in this respect and finds out that only two boxes were loaded for delivery by them on that day. CTF carries out an investigation and the CCTV footage reveals that one box was stolen from their delivery area on 30 May at about 9.30am. Nevertheless, they still insist that they are not liable to Melissa in anyway. Meanwhile Smith was declared a bankrupt on 2 May, 2017. Delivery Fiji had delivered the tiles to the address provided by CTF for Smith. Smith had made an instalment of $3,000.00 and he was supposed to pay the remaining balance of $5,000.00 to CTF upon receipt of the goods. CTF is demanding remaining payment from Smith. CTF argues that the property and the risk passed to Smith once the tiles were packed and left at the delivery area. Meanwhile Misha did not receive anything and she had paid $4,000.00 as deposit and was supposed to pay the remaining balance of $5,000.00 to CTF upon receipt of the goods. Answer the following questions 1. Did the property and the risk indeed pass to Melissa, Smith and Misha once the goods were left at CTF’s delivery area? 2. What remedies are available for Melissa and Misha? 3. Is Delivery Fiji liable to Melissa, Smith or Misha? 4. What remedies and defences will Delivery Fiji advance in its favour? 5. What arguments will CTF advance in its favour to dispute the various allegations against them? 6. Can CTF be exempted from all liabilities or are they liable to the buyers for their loss. 7. What is Smith’s position in this respect taking into consideration his insolvency? 8. Are CTF and Delivery Fiji engaged in deceptive and misleading commercial practice?

Dave Schonhardt, president of Schonhardt Industries, wishes to issue a press release to bolster his company’s image and maybe even its stock price, which has been gradually falling. As controller, you have been asked to provide a list of 20 financial ratios along with some other operating statistics relative to Schonhardt Industries’ first quarter financials and operations. Two days after you provide the ratios and data requested, Steven Verlin, the public relations director of Schonhardt, asks you to prove the accuracy of the financial and operating data contained in the press release written by the president and edited by Steven. In the press release, the president highlights the sales increase of 25% over last year’s fi rst quarter and the positive change in the current ratio from 1.5:1 last year to 3:1 this year. He also emphasizes that production was up 50% over the prior year’s first quarter. You note that the press release contains only positive or improved ratios and none of the negative or deteriorated ratios. For instance, no mention is made that the debt to assets ratio has increased from 35% to 55%, that inventories are up 89%, and that while the current ratio improved, the acid-test ratio fell from 1:1 to 0.5:1. Nor is there any mention that the reported profit for the quarter would have been a loss had not the estimated lives of Schonhardt’s plant and machinery been increased by 30%. Steven emphasizes, “The prez wants this release by early this afternoon.” Instructions (a) Who are the stakeholders in this situation? (b) Is there anything unethical in president Schonhardt’s actions? (c) Should you as controller remain silent? Does Steven have any responsibility?

Answer: (a) The stakeholders in this situation include:1. Shareholders/Investo...

Problem1: Master Budget with Supporting Schedules You have just been hired as a management trainee by Cravat Sales Company, a nationwide distributor of a designer’s silk ties. The company has an exclusive franchise on the distribution of the ties, and sales have grown so rapidly over the last few years that it has become necessary to add new members to the management team. You have been given responsibility for all planning and budgeting. Your first assignment is to prepare a master budget for the next three months, starting April 1. You are anxious to make a favourable impression on the president and have assembled the information below. The company desires a minimum ending cash balance each month of $10,000. The ties are sold to retailers for $8 each. Recent and forecasted sales in units are as follows: January (actual) . . . . 20,000 . . . . . June . . . . . . . . . . . . 60,000 February (actual) . . . 24,000 . . . . . July . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40,000 March (actual) . . . . . 28,000 . . . . .

September . . . . . . . 32,000 The large buildup in sales before and during June is due to Father’s Day. Ending inventories are sup- posed to equal 90% of the next month’s sales in units. The ties cost the company $5 each. Purchases are paid for as follows: 50% in the month of purchase and the remaining 50% in the following month. All sales are on credit, with no discount, and payable within 15 days. The company has found, however, that only 25% of a month’s sales are collected by month-end. An additional 50% is collected in the following month, and the remaining 25% is collected in the second month following sale. Bad debts have been negligible. The company’s monthly operating expenses are given below: Variable: Sales commissions ... $1 per tie Fixed: Wages and salaries . . . . . . . $22,000 Utilities . . . . . . . . . . $14,000 . . . . . . . Insurance . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . $1,200 Depreciation . . . . . . $1,500 . . . . . . . Miscellaneous . . . . . $3,000 . . . . . . All operating expenses are paid during the month, in cash, with the exception of depreciation and insurance expired. Land will be purchased during May for $25,000 cash. The company declares dividends of $12,000 each quarter, payable in the first month of the following quarter. The company’s balance sheet at March 31 is given below: Cash. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 14,000 Accounts receivable ($48,000 February sales; $168,000 March sales). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month, and for simplicity, we will assume that interest is not compounded. At the end of the quarter, the company would pay the bank all of the accumulated interest on the loan and as much of the loan as possible (in increments of $1,000), while still retaining at least $10,000 in cash. Required: Prepare a master budget for the three-month period ending June 30. Include the following detailed budgets: a. A sales budget by month and in total. b. A schedule of expected cash collections from sales, by month and in total. c. A merchandise purchases budget in units and in dollars. Show the budget by month and in total. d.

Ashley Panda lives at 1310 Meadow Lane, Wayne, OH 43466, and her Social Security number is 123-45-6777. Ashley is single and has a 20-year-old son, Bill. His Social Security number is 111-11-1112. Karl lives with Ashley, and she fully supports him. Bill spent 2018 traveling in Europe and was not a college student. He had gross income of $4,655 in 2018. Bill paid $4,000 of lodging expenses that Ashley reimbursed after they were fully documented. Ashley paid the $4,000 to Bill using a check from her sole proprietorship. That amount is not included in the items listed below. Ashley had substantial health problems during 2018, and many of her expenses were not reimbursed by her health insurance. Ashley owns Panda Enterprises LLC (98-7654321), a data processing service that she operates as a sole proprietorship. Her business is located at 456 Hill Street, Wayne, OH 43466. The business activity code is 514210.

The rent expense includes payments related to renting an office ($30,000) and payments related to renting various equipment ($4,000). There is no depreciation because all depreciable equipment owned has been fully depreciated in previous years. No fringe benefits are provided to the employee. Ashley personally purchases health insurance on herself and Bill. The premiums are $23,000 per year. Ashley has an extensive stock portfolio and has prepared the following analysis: Stock Number of Shares Date Purchased Date Sold Per-Share Cost Per-Share Selling Price Total Dividends Beige 10 10/18/17 10/11/18 $80 $ 74 $30 Garland 30 10/11/11 10/11/18 43 157 70 Peach 15 3/10/18 8/11/18 62 33 45 Note: Ashley received a Form 1099–B from her stockbroker that included the adjusted basis and sales proceeds for each of her stock transactions. The per-share cost includes commissions, and the per-share selling price is net of commissions. Also, the dividends are the actual dividends received in 2018, and these are both ordinary dividends and qualified dividends. Ashley had $800 of interest income from State of Ohio bonds and $600 of interest income on her Wayne Savings Bank account. She paid $25,000 of alimony to her former husband.

Topics: Cash to Accrual  AND Error Correction

A. Zamboanga Enterprises records all transactions on the cash basis. The company’s accountant prepared the following income statement at the end of the company’s first year of operations:
Zamboanga Enterprises
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
Sales  P2, 016, 000
Selling and administrative expenses:
 Salaries expense P624,000

(c.) Zamboanga rents its building for P24,000 a month, payable quarterly in advance. The contract was signed on January 1, 2006.

(d.) The bill for December’s utility costs of P21,600 was paid January 10, 2007.

(e.) Equipment of P240,000 was purchased on January 1, 2006. The expected life is 5 years, no salvage value. Assume straight-line depreciation.

(f.) Commissions of 15% of sales are paid on the same day cash is received from customers. 

(g.) A 1-year insurance policy was issued in company assets on July 1, 2006. Premiums are paid annually in advance.

(h.) Zamboanga barrowed P400,000 for one year on May 1, 2006. Interest payments based on an annual rate of 12% are made quarterly, beginning with the first payment on August 1, 2006.

QUESTION:
How much is the net income before income tax under the accrual basis of accounting?

B. Misamis Company’s December 31, year end financial statement contained the following errors:
 December 31, 2005 December 31, 2006
 Ending Inventory P100,000 understated P90,000 overstated
 Depreciation expense     20,000 understated 
As insurance premium of P75,000 was prepaid in 2005 covering the years 2005, 2006, and 2007. The same was charged to expense in full in 2005. In addition, on December 31,2006, a fully depreciated machinery was sold for P160,000 cash, but the sale was not recorded until 2007. There were no other errors during 2005, 2006, and 2007 and no corrections have been made for any errors. Ignore income tax considerations.

Based on the above and the result of your audit, answer the following:
1. What is the total effect of the errors on the 2005 net income?
(over or under by?)

2. What is the total effect of the errors on the 2006 net income? (over or under by?)

Oxford Engineering manufactures small engines. The engines are sold to manufacturers who install them in such products as lawn mowers. The company currently manufactures all the parts used in these engines but is considering a proposal from an external supplier to supply the starter assembly used in these engines. The starter assembly is currently manufactured in Division 3 of Oxford Engineering. Last year, Division 3 manufactured 136,000 starter assemblies, but over the next several years, it is expected that 160,000 assemblies will be needed each year. Total costs related to the starter assembly for last year were as follows: Direct material $252,960 Direct labor $163,200 Total overhead $408,000 Total $824,160 Further analysis of overhead revealed the following information: $183,600 of total overhead was variable. $109,000 of the fixed overhead were allocated costs that will continue even if the production of the starter assembly is discontinued. Tidnish Electronics, a reliable supplier, has offered to supply starter assembly units at $6.00 per unit. If the company buys the assembly from Tidnish, the vacated plant space could be used for storage and, in so doing, avoid $53,000 of outside storage charges currently incurred. REQUIRED By how much will Oxford Engineering's total profits change if they decide to buy the starter assembly from Tidnish Electronics instead of making it themselves? (Note: if the buy costs are less than the make costs, enter the difference as a positive number; if the buy costs are more than the make costs, enter the difference as a negative number.)

Problem No 3: The Heather Honey Company purchases honeycombs from beekeepers for $2.00 a pound. The company produces two main products from the honeycombs—honey and beeswax. Honey is drained from the honeycombs, and then the honeycombs are melted down to form cubes of beeswax. The beeswax is sold for $1.50 a pound. The honey can be sold in raw form for $3.00 a pound. However, some of the raw honey is used by the company to make honey drop candies. The candies are packed in a decorative container and are sold in gift and specialty shops. A container of honey drop candies sells for $4.40. Each container of honey drop candies contains three quarters of a pound of honey. The other variable costs associated with making the candies are as follows: Decorative container . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.40 Other ingredients . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.25 Direct labor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.20 Variable manufacturing overhead . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.10 Total variable manufacturing cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.95 The monthly fixed manufacturing overhead costs associated with making the candies follow: Master candy maker’s salary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $3,880 Depreciation of candy making equipment . . . . . . . . 400 Total fixed manufacturing cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4,280 The monthly fixed manufacturing overhead costs associated with making the candies follow: The master candy maker has no duties other than to oversee production of the honey drop candies. The candy making equipment is special-purpose equipment that was constructed specifically to make this particular candy. The equipment has no resale value and does not wear out through use. A salesperson is paid $2,000 per month plus a commission of 5% of sales to market the honey drop candies. The company had enjoyed robust sales of the candies for several years, but the recent entrance of a competing product into the marketplace has depressed sales of the candies. The management of the company is now wondering whether it would be more profitable to sell all of the honey rather than converting some of it into candies. Required: 1. What is the incremental contribution margin per container from further processing the honey into candies? 2. What is the minimum number of containers of candy that must be sold each month to justify the continued processing of honey into candies? Explain. Show all computations.

Answer: To determine the incremental contribution margin per container from fu...
