ACC 497 Week 2 Knowledge Check (2019 Syllabus)

1.

The St. Lucia Blood Bank, a private charity partly supported by government grants, is located on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The blood bank has just finished its operations for September, which was a particularly busy month due to a powerful hurricane that hit neighboring islands causing many injuries. The hurricane largely bypassed St. Lucia, but residents of St. Lucia willingly donated their blood to help people on other islands. As a consequence, the blood bank collected and processed over 20% more blood than had been originally planned for the month.

A report prepared by a government official comparing actual costs to budgeted costs for the blood bank appears below. Continued support from the government depends on the blood bank’s ability to demonstrate control over its costs.

The managing director of the blood bank was very unhappy with this report, claiming that his costs were higher than expected due to the emergency on the neighboring islands. He also pointed out that the additional costs had been fully covered by payments from grateful recipients on the other islands. The government official who prepared the report countered that all of the figures had been submitted by the blood bank to the government; he was just pointing out that actual costs were a lot higher than promised in the budget.

The following cost formulas were used to construct the planning budget:

Required:

1. Complete the performance report for September using the flexible budget approach. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting “F” for favorable, “U” for unfavorable, and “None” for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

Heritage Watercraft makes reproductions of classic wooden boats. The bottleneck in the production process is fitting wooden planks to build up the curved sections of the hull. This process requires the attention of the shop’s most experienced craftsman. A total of 3,300 hours is available per year in this bottleneck operation. Data concerning the company’s four products appear below:

ata concerning the pizzeria’s costs appear below:

In November, the pizzeria budgeted for 1,620 pizzas at an average selling price of $17 per pizza and for 240 deliveries.

Data concerning the pizzeria’s operations in November appear below:

Required:

1. Complete the flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for the pizzeria for November. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting “F” for favorable, “U” for unfavorable, and “None” for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

1.

Via Gelato is a popular neighborhood gelato shop. The company has provided the following data concerning its operations:

While gelato is sold by the cone or cup, the shop measures its activity in terms of the total number of liters of gelato sold. For example, wages should be $5,900 plus $1.70 per liter of gelato sold and the actual wages for June were $15,900. Via Gelato expected to sell 6,000 liters in June, but actually sold 6,200 liters.

Required:

Complete the report showing Via Gelato revenue and spending variances for June

2.

Heritage Watercraft makes reproductions of classic wooden boats. The bottleneck in the production process is fitting wooden planks to build up the curved sections of the hull. This process requires the attention of the shop’s most experienced craftsman. A total of 3,400 hours is available per year in this bottleneck operation. Data concerning the company’s four products appear below:

No fixed costs could be avoided by modifying how many units are produced of any product or even by dropping any one of the products.

Required:

1a. Calculate the total hours required in the bottleneck operation to satisfy demand for all the products.

3.

Milano Pizza is a small neighborhood pizzeria that has a small area for in-store dining as well as offering take-out and free home delivery services. The pizzeria’s owner has determined that the shop has two major cost drivers—the number of pizzas sold and the number of deliveries made.

Data concerning the pizzeria’s costs appear below:

 

In November, the pizzeria budgeted for 2,250 pizzas at an average selling price of $22 per pizza and for 210 deliveries.

Data concerning the pizzeria’s operations in November appear below:

Required:

1. Complete the flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for the pizzeria for November.

4.

Jake’s Roof Repair has provided the following data concerning its costs:

For example, wages and salaries should be $21,400 plus $15.00 per repair hour. The company expected to work 2,700 repair-hours in May, but actually worked 2,600 repair-hours. The company expects its sales to be $52.00 per repair-hour.

Required:

Compute the company’s activity variances for May.

5.

Advanced Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a wholesale distributor of prescription drugs to independent retail and hospital-based pharmacies. Management believes that top-notch customer representatives are the key factor in determining whether the company will be successful in the future. Customer representatives serve as the company’s liaison with customers—helping pharmacies monitor their stocks, delivering drugs when customer stocks run low, and providing up-to-date information on drugs from many different companies. Customer representatives must be ultra-reliable and are highly trained. Good customer representatives are hard to come by and are not easily replaced.

Customer representatives routinely record the amount of time they spend serving each pharmacy. This time includes travel time to and from the company’s central warehouse as well as time spent replenishing stocks, dealing with complaints, answering questions about drugs, informing pharmacists of the latest developments and newest products, reviewing bills, explaining procedures, and so on. Some pharmacies require more hand-holding and attention than others and consequently they consume more of the representatives’ time.

Recently, customer representatives have made more frequent complaints that it is impossible to do their jobs without working well beyond normal working hours. This has led to an alarming increase in the number of customer representatives quitting for jobs in other organizations. As a consequence, management is considering dropping some customers to reduce the workload on customer representatives. Data concerning a representative sample of the company’s customers appears below:

Customer service costs include all of the costs—other than the costs of the drugs themselves—that could be avoided by dropping the customer. These costs include the hourly wages of the customer representatives, their sales commissions, the mileage-related costs of the customer representatives’ company-provided vehicles, and so on.

Required:

1. Rank the four customers in terms of their profitability.

ACC 497 Week 2 Team Accounting for Employee Stock Options

Discuss with your team the following case study:
Client X offers a generous employee compensation package that includes employee stock options. The exercise price has always been equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The corporate controller, John Jones, believes that employee stock options, like all obligations to issue the corporation’s own stock, are equity. The new staff accountant, Marcy Means, disagrees. Marcy argues that when a company issues stock for less than current value, the value of preexisting stockholders’ shares is diluted.
Write a team consensus response of no more than 700 words in which you answer the following requirements:
1. Describe how Client X should account for its employee stock option plan, under existing GAAP.
2. Pretend you are hired to debate the issue of the proper treatment of options written on a company’s own stock.
3. Formulate your argument, citing concepts and definitions to buttress your case, assuming:

ACC 497 Week 4 Income Tax Implication of Capital Investment Decisions

Read the following case study:
The Whitley Corporation’s year-end is December 31. It is now October 1, 2013. The Whitley management team is taking a look at the prior nine months and attempting to make some short-term strategy decisions.
Whitley has experienced steady growth over the five preceding years. The result has been a steadily increasing EPS. Last year, Whitley reported an EPS of 1.95.
This year, owing to a mild recession, Whitley’s sales have fallen off. Management is looking for strategies that can improve the appearance of the financial statements. At the same time, there is a need for new equipment in the plant. Despite the recession, Whitley has enough cash to make the purchase.
Based on the year’s performance to date and extrapolation of the results to year-end, management feels that the pretax financial accounting income for the year will be $200,000. Transactions from prior years have resulted in a deferred tax asset of $15,000 and a deferred tax liability of $70,000 at the beginning of 2013.
The temporary difference of $37,500 that resulted in the deferred tax asset is expected to completely reverse by the end of 2013. The deferred tax liability resulted totally from temporary depreciation differences. There will be a pretax reversal of $42,500 in this temporary difference during 2013.
Based on currently enacted tax law, the purchase of the equipment will result in a future taxable amount of $50,000. Whitley management feels that it can wait four to six months to purchase the machine. Whitley’s tax rate is 40 percent.
Write a response of no more than 1,050 words to the following:
• Determine the projected amount of income tax expense that would be reported if Whitley waits until next year to purchase the equipment.
• Determine the projected amount of income tax expense that would be reported if Whitley purchases the equipment in 2013.
• Explain why Whitley should/shouldn’t wait to purchase the equipment? Your answer should take into consideration the expected financial statement effects, as well as the effect on EPS. Support your conclusions with pro forma data. The number of shares that Whitley will use to calculate EPS is 55,500.
• Determine the ethical considerations of this case?

1.
A public entity changed from the straight-line method to the declining balance method of depreciation for all newly acquired assets. This change has no material effect on the current year’s financial statements but is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect in later years. The client’s financial statements contain no material misstatements and the auditor concurs with this change. If the change is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the auditor should issue a report with a(n):
unqualified opinion.
“except for” qualified opinion.
explanatory paragraph.
consistency modification.
2.
The single audit requirement applies to:
All audits of state and local government reporting entities.
Most audits of state and local governments expending federal grant funds.
Financial audits of all not-for-profit entities.
Only those governments and not-for-profit entities that are audited by a federal audit agency.
3.
For each of the following independent situations, indicate the reason for and the type of financial statement audit report that you would issue. Assume that all companies mentioned are private companies and that each item is at least material.
a. Thibodeau Mines, Inc., uses LIFO for valuing inventories held in the United States and FIFO for inventories produced and held in its foreign operations.
b. Walker Computers is suing your client, Super Software, for royalties over patent infringement. Super Software’s outside legal counsel assures you that Walker’s case is completely without merit.
c. In previous years, your client, Merc International, has consolidated its Panamanian subsidiary. Because of restrictions on repatriation of earnings placed on all foreign-owned corporations in Panama, Merc International has decided to account for the subsidiary on the equity basis in the current year. You concur with the change
d. In prior years, Worcester Wool Mills has used current market prices to value its inventory of raw wool. During the current year, Worcester changed to FIFO for valuing raw wool.
e. Upon review of the recent history of the lives of its specialized automobiles, Gas Leak Technology justifiably changed the service lives for depreciation purposes on its autos from five years to three years. This change resulted in a material amount of additional depreciation expense.
f. During the audit of Brannon Bakery Equipment, you found that a material amount of inventory had been excluded from the company’s financial statements. After discussing this problem with management, you become convinced that it was an unintentional oversight. Management appropriately corrected the error prior to your finalization of field work.
g. Jay Rich, CPA, holds 10 percent of the stock in Rothenburg Construction Company. The board of directors of Rothenburg asks Rich to conduct its audit. Rich completes the audit and determines that the financial statements present fairly in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
h. Ramamoorthi Savings and Loan’s financial condition has been deteriorating for the last five years. Most of its problems result from loans made to real estate developers in Saint Johns County. Your review of the loan portfolio indicates that there should be a major increase in the loan-loss reserve. Based on your calculations, the proposed writedown of the loans will put Ramamoorthi into violation of the state’s capital requirements. The client refuses to make the adjustment or to disclose the possible going concern issue in the notes to the financial statements.
4.
When reporting on comparative financial statements for a private company, which of the following circumstances should ordinarily cause the auditor to change the previously issued opinion on the prior year’s financial statements?
A departure from generally accepted accounting principles caused an adverse opinion on the prior year’s financial statements, and those statements have been properly restated.
The prior year’s financial statements are restated following the purchase of another company in the current year.
A change in accounting principle causes the auditor to make a consistency modification in the current year’s audit report.
A scope limitation caused a qualified opinion on the prior year’s financial statements, but the current year’s opinion is properly unmodified.
5.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) and generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS)?
Audits of state and local governments always require that the audit be conducted in accordance with both GAAS and GAGAS.
GAAS apply to independent CPA auditors; GAGAS apply to governmental auditors.
Audits conducted in conformity with GAGAS may also require the auditor to conform to GAAS.
Audits done in accordance with GAAS must also be done in accordance with GAGAS.

More authoritative than the AICPA state and local government audit guide.
Less authoritative than GASB Technical Bulletins.
