ACCOUNTING
P13-12 (Warranties and Premiums) Garison Music Emporium carries a wide variety of musical instruments, sound reproduction equipment, recorded music, and sheet music. Garison uses two sales promotion techniques— warranties and premiums— to attract customers.
Musical instruments and sound equipment are sold with a one- year warranty for replacement of parts and labor. The estimated warranty cost, based on past experience, is 2% of sales. The premium is offered on the recorded and sheet music. Customers receive a coupon for each dollar spent on recorded music or sheet music. Customers may exchange 200 coupons and $ 20 for a CD player. Garison pays $ 32 for each CD player and estimates that 60% of the coupons given to customers will be redeemed.
Garison’s total sales for 2010 were $ 7,200,000—$ 5,700,000 from musical instruments and sound reproduction equipment and $ 1,500,000 from recorded music and sheet music.

A total of 6,500 CD players used in the premium program were purchased during the year and there were 1,200,000 coupons redeemed in 2010.
The accrual method is used by Garison to account for the warranty and premium costs for financial reporting purposes. The balances in the accounts related to warranties and premiums on January 1, 2010, were as shown below.

ACCOUNTING
Auditing P 5-27 Sarah Robertson, CPA had been the auditor of Majestic Co. for several years. As she and her staff prepared for the audit for the year ended December 31, 2008, Herb Majestic told her that he needed a large bank loan to "tide him over" until sales picked up as expected late 2009. In the course of the audit, Robertson discovered that the financial situation at Majestic was worse than Majestic had revealed and that the company was technically bankrupt. She discussed the situation with Majestic, who pointed out that the bank loan will "be his solution"-he was sure he will get it as long as the financial statements don't look too bad. Robertson stated that she believed the statements will have to include a going concern explanatory paragraph, Majestic said that this wasn't needed because the bank loan was so certain and that inclusion of the going concern paragraph will certainly cause the management of the bank to change its mind about the loan. Robertson finally acquiesced and the audited statements were issued without a going concern paragraph. The company received the loan, but things did not improve as Majestic thought they would and the company filed for bankruptcy in August 2009. The bank sued Sarah Robertson for fraud. Required: Indicate whether or not you think the bank will succeed. Support your answer.

Auditing P 5-26 Gordon & Groton, CPA's were the auditors of Bank & Company, a brokerage firm and member of a national stock exchange. Gordon & Groton audited and reported on the financial statements of Bank, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Several of Bank's customers were swindled by a fraudulent scheme perpetrated by Bank's president, who owned 90% of the voting stock of the company. The facts establish that Gordon & Groton were negligent but not reckless or grossly negligent in conduct of the audit, and neither participated in the fraudulent scheme or knew of its existence.
The customers are suing Gordon & Groton under the antifraud provisions of Section10b and Rule 10b-5 of the securities Exchange Act of 1934 for aiding and abetting the fraudulent scheme of the president. The customer's suit for fraud is predicated exclusively on the nonfeasance of the auditors in failing to conduct a proper audit, thereby failing to discover the fraudulent scheme.

The Baker Independent School District passed an appropriations ordinance for the General Fund for a certain fiscal year in the amount of $50 million
ACCOUNTING
3–5. The Baker Independent School District passed an appropriations ordinance for the General Fund for a certain fiscal year in the amount of $50 million. Revenues were anticipated from sources other than the property tax in the amount of $24 million. The total assessed value of property in the school district amounts to $600 million. Owners of property have filed for and received household, old age, and other exemptions in the amount of $80 million. It is anticipated that 2 percent of the assessed taxes will not be collected.
a. Compute the amount to be raised from property taxes.
b. Compute the gross levy required to raise revenue in the amount you computed for requirement (a). Round the computation to the nearest dollar.
c. Compute the property tax rate per $100 net assessed valuation.
d. Compute the property tax rate per $1,000 net assessed valuation (this rate is often called the millage). Round fractional cents to the next higher whole cent.
e. You own a home with an assessed valuation of $60,000. You are eligible for a homestead exemption of $2,000; deduct this amount from the gross assessed valuation to determine the net assessed valuation (NAV) of your house. Multiply the NAV in thousands of dollars by the property tax rate computed in part (d) of this problem to determine the property tax payable
on your house.

Auditing P 5-28
Part 2
Jackson is a sophisticated investor. As such, she was initially a member of a small group that was going to participate in a private placement of $1 million of common stock of Clarion Corporation. Numerouis meetings were held between management and the investor group. Detailed financial and other information was supplied to the participants. Upon the eve of completion of the placement, it was aborted when one major investor withdrew. Clarion than decided to offer $2.5 million of Clarion common stock to the purble pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. Jackson subscribed to $300,000 of the Clarion public stock offering. Nin months later, Clarion’s earnings dropped significantly, and as a result, the stock dropped 20% beneath the offering price.

Jackson sold her shares as a loss of $60,000 and seeks to hold all parties liable who participated in the public offering, including Clarion’s CPA firm of Allen, Dunn, and Rose. Although the audit was performed to conformity with auditing standards, there were some relatively minor misstatements. The financial statements of Clarion Corporation, which were part of the registration statement, contained minor misleading facts. It is believed by Clarion and Allen, Dunn, and Rose that Jackson’s asserted claim is without merit.
Required: Answer the following questions setting forth reasons for any conclusions stated.
a. If Jackson sues under the Securities Act of 1933, what will be the basis of her claim?
b. What are the probable defenses that might be asserted by Allen, Dunn, and Rose in light of these facts?

4. Which of the following would not be considered an analytical procedure?
5. Because of the effects of circulation, some audit evidence is more reliable than other audit evidence. Which of the following is generally considered to be the most reliable?
Chapter 8
True/False
REQUIRED: For each of the following items, indicate whether it is (T) True or (F) False. For those marked “False,” identify the error(s) and indicate the change or changes that are needed to make the statement true.
1. The FASB definition of materiality is stated in explicit quantitative terms.
2. Preliminary judgments about materiality are set for planning purposes and may be changed as the audit progresses.
3. In audit planning, the auditor should recognize that there may be several levels of materiality.
4. The auditor's preliminary judgment about materiality cannot be made before the financial statement date, when annual amounts become known.
5. Materiality judgments involve both quantitative and qualitative considerations.
6. Material misstatement is not possible for individual accounts with balances below the auditor's preliminary judgment about materiality.
7. Many auditors make the allocation of materiality on the basis of the balance sheet account balances alone.
8. Materiality should be allocated to the various accounts in proportion to their recorded balances.
9. As more materiality is allocated to an account, the amount of audit work on that account increases.
10. Analytical procedures are defined as “evaluations of financial information made by a study of plausible relationships among financial data components.”
Chapter 11
True/False
REQUIRED: For each of the following items, indicate whether it is (T) True or (F) False. For those marked “False,” identify the error(s) and indicate the change or changes that are needed to make the statement true.
1. An auditor will normally plan to perform tests of controls only if it has been determined that effective internal controls have been placed in operation.
2. Public company auditors must test controls related to all significant financial statement assertions.
3. Assessing control risk is the process of evaluating the effectiveness of an entity’s internal control in preventing or detecting material misstatement in the financial statements.
4. Internal control risk assertions are made for internal controls as a whole, not for individual assertions.
5. The auditor may base an assessment of control risk on the evidence collected while obtaining an understanding of internal controls.
6. Internal controls over the completeness assertion generally start by examining information recorded in the general ledger and tracing it backward through the systems of accounting and internal control.
7. Internal controls over the valuation and allocation assertion are similar to those for the existence and occurrence assertion.
8. To arrive at an assessment of control risk below the maximum, evidence must be obtained about the operating effectiveness of the necessary controls.
9. Control risk assessments may be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms.
10. If control risk is assessed at the maximum, only this conclusion needs to be documented and not the basis for the assessment.
Matching 13-1
Careful consideration of sample design must be made to achieve efficient and effective statistical samples. This is accomplished through explicit specification of key factors and relating them through mathematical models. Consideration of the same factors in nonstatistical samples may help to produce more efficient and effective samples, even if the factors are not explicitly quantified.
REQUIRED: For each of the factors listed below, indicate its effect on sample size by inserting a D (for direct) or an I (for inverse) in the appropriate column(s).
Effect on
Factor Sample Size
1. Population size
2. Variation in the population
3. Tolerable misstatement
4. Expected misstatement

7. Internal controls over the valuation and allocation assertion are similar to those for the existence and occurrence assertion.
8. To arrive at an assessment of control risk below the maximum, evidence must be obtained about the operating effectiveness of the necessary controls.
9. Control risk assessments may be expressed in quantitative or qualitative terms.
10. If control risk is assessed at the maximum, only this conclusion needs to be documented and not the basis for the assessment.
Matching 13-1
Careful consideration of sample design must be made to achieve efficient and effective statistical samples. This is accomplished through explicit specification of key factors and relating them through mathematical models. Consideration of the same factors in nonstatistical samples may help to produce more efficient and effective samples, even if the factors are not explicitly quantified.
REQUIRED: For each of the factors listed below, indicate its effect on sample size by inserting a D (for direct) or an I (for inverse) in the appropriate column(s).

ACCOUNTING
Auditing P 5-22 In confirming accounts receivable on December 31, 2009, the author found 15 discrepancies between the customers' records and the recorded amounts in the accounts receivable master file. A copy of all confirmations that had exceptions was turned over to the company controller investigate the reason for the difference. He, in turn, had the bookkeeper perform the analysis. The bookkeeper analyzed each exception., determined its cause, and prepared an elaborate spreadsheet explaining exceptions were caused by timing differences in the bookkeeper's report indicated that the exceptions were caused by timing differences in the clients' and customer's records. The auditor reviewed the spreadsheet and concluded that there were no material exceptions to accounts receivable.
Two years subsequent to the audit, it was determined that the bookkeeper had stolen thousands of dollars in the past 3 years by taking cash and overstating accounts receivable. In a lawsuit by the client against the CPA, an examination of the auditors December 31, 2009, accounts receivable working papers, which were subpoenaed by the court, indicated that one of the explanations in the bookkeeper's analysis of the exceptions was fictitious. The analysis stated the exception was caused by a sales allowance granted to the customer for defective merchandise the day before the end of the year. The difference was actually caused by the bookkeeper's theft.
Required:
a. What are the legal issues involved in this situation? What should the auditor use as a defense in the event that he is sued?
b. What was the CPA's deficiency in conducting the audit of accounts receivable?

The firm has 1 million shares outstanding that sell for $20 each. The firm has no debt; there are no taxes; and all transactions take place in a perfect capital market. Using calculations like those in the illustration of dividend irrelevance in a perfect capital market, show that shareholders will be indifferent between whether the firm pays out the “bonus” as a dividend or uses the money to buy back $5 million of its shares.
