He uses the source documents such as purchase orders, sales invoices and suppliers’ invoices to prepare journal vouchers for general ledger entries. Each day he posts the journal vouchers to the general ledger and the related subsidiary ledgers. At the end of each month, he reconciles the subsidiary accounts to their control accounts in the general ledger to ensure they balance. Discuss the internal control weaknesses and risks associated with the above process. (10 marks 300 words)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Olive Limited

1) Internal Control Weaknesses: Richard Palm is just an accounting clerk and obviously there is a lack of qualification for him to single-handedly complete his work without supervision.  He handles the whole processes of identifying source documents, the accounts involved, and their correctness, preparing the journal, posting to the ledgers, and leger accounts reconciliation.  This shows that there is no segregation of duties. There is no personnel that authorizes or reviews Richard's accounting processes.  He engages in self-review (reconciliation) of his work.

2) The risks associated with Richard's process are:

a) Richard lacks the required professional experience and qualification to handle most of his work alone.  Thus, the risk of misstatement of financial statement elements is high.

b) Since Richard works without appropriate supervision, there is an increased risk of fraudulent behaviors.  Richard could post fictitious invoices to the accounting records.

c) Without separation of duties, a single individual handles a transaction from the beginning to the end.  This does not augur well for internal controls, which can be easily compromised.

d) Designated managers should be required to authorize certain types of transactions to add an extra layer of responsibility to accounting records.  This also proves that transactions have been seen, analyzed, and approved by appropriate authorities.   The requirement that large payments and expenses be approved by specific managers stop unscrupulous employees from making large fraudulent transactions with company funds, for example.

e) Richard also self-reviews his work.  Thus, it may be difficult for him to identify errors of misstatement.  An invoice could be posted more than once in the accounting records without being identified.

Explanation:

Internal controls are business processes that provide reasonable assurance so that several key business objectives are met, processes are operating efficiently, the financial reporting is reliable, and that the business is in compliance with applicable regulations and internal procedures.

Weaknesses occur when there is an absence of internal controls or the controls are not being operated as specified or the control objectives are not being achieved.  When any of these are prevalent, risks arise.  The risks may lead to intentional and unintentional financial statement misstatements or fraudulent practices.

Steeler Company has issued bonds that pay semiannually with the following characteristics: Coupon Yield to Maturity Maturity Duration 10% 10% 10 years 6.76 years If the yield to maturity decreases to 8.045%, the expected percentage change in the price of the bond using modified duration would be ________.

Answers

Answer:

the expected percentage change in the price of the bond using modified duration would be 12%

Explanation:

A= Semi annually= 2

YM= Yield to Maturity= 10%

M= Maturity= 10%

MtD= Maturity duration= 6.76 years

Modified duration (MD)= MtD/1+YM/A

MD= 6.76/1+10%/2= 6.76/1.05= 6.438 approx 6.44 years

Change in Yield to maturity = 8.045%- 10%= -1.955%

Change in percentage Price= -Modified duration*Change in Yield to maturity

Change in percentage Price= -6.44*(--1.955%

)= 12.59%

Answers

Answer:

August ending Inventory 160 units

Explanation:

It wishes a level output AKAK same production over the rest of the year

total demand:

we add up the demand of the moths and our desired ending inventory

then we subtract the beginning and divide over the eight months

800 + 650 + 720 + 690 + 530 + 610 + 630 + 610 + 500 desired ending - 300 beginning = 5,440

We divide by 8 = 680 per month

Now we can do the budget up to August to solve for the ending inventory

Answers

Answer:

Building= $334,000

Fontaine's capital account= $217,000

Explanation:

From the question above

Fountain company and Monroe company come together to form a partnership.

Fontaine invests a building that has a market value of $334,000

The partnership takes charge for a $117,000 note secured by a mortgage on the building

Monroe invests $92,000 on cash and equipments

The cash and equipments has a market value of $67,000

Therefore the amount recorded for the building is $334,000

The amount recorded for Fontaine's capital account is

= $334,000-$117,000

= $217,000

Hence for the partnership the amounts recorded for the building and fontaine's capital account is $334,000 and $217,000 respectively.

Gwinnett Barbecue Sauce Corporation manufactures a specialty barbecue sauce.

A local school district is interested in purchasing Gwinnett's excess capacity of 1,000 cases of sauce but only if they can get the sauce for $23 per case. This special order would not affect regular sales or total fixed costs or variable costs per unit. If this special order is accepted, Gwinnett's profits for the year will:

Answers

Answer:

Gwinnett's profits for the year will decrease by $1,000

Explanation:

total costs for normal 14,000 cases:

Variable manufacturing cost $294,000 / 14,000 = $21 per caseFixed manufacturing cost $56,000 Variable selling and administrative cost $42,000 Fixed selling and administrative cost $38,000total = $430,000

the incremental revenue of selling 1,000 cases to the school district = $23 x 1,000 = $23,000

the incremental costs for producing and selling 1,000 more cases:

variable manufacturing costs = $21 x 1,000 = $21,000variable S&A costs = $3 x 1,000 = $3,000total incremental costs = $24,000

incremental revenue - total incremental costs = $23,000 - $24,000 = -$1,000

Answer:

Effect on income= $1,000 decrease

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable costs:

Variable manufacturing cost= $294,000/14,000= $21

Variable selling and administrative= $42,000/14,000= $3

Special offer= 1,000 units for $23

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs:

Effect on income= 1,000*(23 - 24)= $1,000 decrease

Atkinson Construction assembles residential houses. It uses a job-costing system with two direct-cost categories (direct materials and direct labor) and one indirect-cost pool (assembly support). Direct labor-hours is the allocation base for assembly support costs. In December 2016, Atkinson budgets 2017 assembly-support costs to be $8,800,000 and 2017 direct labor-hours to be 220,000.At the end of 2017, Atkinson is comparing the costs of several jobs that were started and completed in 2017.Laguna Model Mission ModelConstruction period Feb-June 2017 May-0ct 2017Direct material costs $106,550 $127,450Direct labor costs $ 36,250 $41,130Direct labor-hours 970 1,000Direct materials and direct labor are paid for on a contract basis. The costs of each are known when direct materials are used or when direct labor-hours are worked. The 2017 actual assembly-support costs were $8,400,000, and the actual direct labor-hours were 200,000.Required:1. Compute the (a) budgeted indirect-cost rate and (b) actual indirect-cost rate. Why do they differ?2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing and (b) actual costing?3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?

Answers

Answer:

1. Compute the

(a) budgeted indirect-cost rate

$40 per labor hour

and (b) actual indirect-cost rate.

$42 per labor hour

Why do they differ?

Because total assembly support costs and labor hours were different.They both were actually lower than expected, but the labor hours were 9% lower while the costs were around 5% lower. That is why the actual rate increased (denominator decreased more than numerator).

2. What are the job costs of the Laguna Model and the Mission Model using (a) normal costing

                                               Laguna Model       Mission Model

assembly-support cost                $40,7400               $42,000

3. Why might Atkinson Construction prefer normal costing over actual costing?

The problem with actual costing is that they cannot be budgeted, you can only budget normal costing. Any business has to prepare budgets in order to control how their operations are being carried out and then they need to adjust them to the actual costs incurred.

Now, as currently the allwoance for doubtful accounts has a balance of 8,240 we need to adjust to make up the difference

106,106 adjusted balance - 8,240 current balance = 97,866 adjustment

we will credit the allowance and recognzie this amount of bad debt expense

If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is a. selling shares of ownership directly to the public. b. borrowing indirectly from the public. c. borrowing directly from the public. d. selling shares of ownership indirectly to the public.

Answers

Answer:

c. borrowing directly from the public.

Explanation:

If the Apple corporation sells a bond it is borrowing directly from the public.  That is because corporate bonds are exactly that, they are bonds issued by a corporation in which the individual buying them is basically loaning money to the corporation which they will receive back the full amount that they loaned out as soon as the bond matures. Therefore by buying a corporate bond you are directly loaning that corporation money to finance their operations.

If Apple Corporation sells a bond, it is borrowing indirectly from the public. Therefore, the correct option is b.

A bond is a debt instrument issued by a corporation or government entity to raise funds. When Apple sells a bond, it is essentially borrowing money from investors or the public. In return, Apple promises to repay the principal amount of the bond along with periodic interest payments. Bonds do not involve selling shares of ownership in the company, as in the case of issuing stocks. Instead, bonds represent a form of debt financing for the issuer.

Thus, the ideal selection is option b.

n the kinked demand curve model, competitors: A. ignore any price change by a rival firm. B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm. C. match any price increase and ignore any price decrease by a rival firm. D. follow any price change by a rival firm.

Answers

Answer:

B. ignore any price increase and match any price decrease by a rival firm.

Explanation:

The kinked demand curve model is used by economists to provide information about the monopolistic and oligopolistic market.

Under oligopoly, the kinked demand curve shows that price aren't flexible for a long period of time. The kindred demand curve is associated with a demand curve that isn't a straight line but has varying elasticity for both lower and higher prices in the economic market.

Hence, organizations operating in an oligopolistic market ensure their market shares are maintained and well protected. Thus, an oligopolist would lower it's selling price if its competitors in the market lower their selling price. However, he or she ignores any price increase by his or her competitors.

The kinked demand curve model helps them to understand how to protect and expand their market share.

Required:
a. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory
b. Determine the cost of units transferred out of the department during October.

Answers

Answer:

Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6

Total cost  of units transferred out=$99,863

Explanation:

Cost of ending inventory

Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units

Cost of items of inventory =  ($9.50×330) +  ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6

Total cost of units transferred out

The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.

The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.

The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:

Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360)   + ($20.40×140)= 6276

Transferred of fully worked =  $(9.50 +$20.40) ×  3,130= 93,587

Total cost  of units transferred out =  (6276 +93587)=  $99,863

Overhead Variance (Over- or Underapplied), Closing to Cost of Goods Sold At the end of the year, Estes Company provided the following actual information: Overhead $412,600 Direct labor cost 532,000 Estes uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 75% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,670,000.Required:
1. Calculate the overhead variance for the year. $2. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.

Answers

Answer:

1.

$13,600 unfavorable

2.

$1,683,600

Explanation:

Overhead variance is difference between the budgeted and actual values of the overhead incurred by a company.

Applied Overhead is the overhead value calculated by multiplying the actual activity and budgeted applied rate.

Applied Overheads = $532,000 x 75% = $399,000

Actual Overheads = $412,600

Overheads Variance = Applied Overheads - Actual Overheads

Overheads Variance = $399,000 - $412,600 = -$13,600

As actual overheads are incurred more than the applied overhead, so the variance is unfavorable.

$13,600 unfavorable

2.

As the overhead is under-applied and it need to be adjusted and added in the cost of goods sold.

Cost of Goods sold = $1,670,000

Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,670,000 + $13,600

Adjusted cost of goods sold = $1,683,600

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $1,061 and matures in 25 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.1 percent. The par value is $1,000. If the company's tax rate is 39 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt

Answers

Answer:

3.44%

Explanation:

For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e shown in the attachment below:

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,061

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 6.1% ÷ 2 = $30.5

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying the above formula,

1. The pretax cost of debt is 2.82% × 2 = 5.64%

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 5.64% × ( 1 - 0.39)

= 3.44%

Allyson Gomez invests $8,000 today in an investment that earns 6 percent per year (compounded annually) for 25 years. The average inflation rate is expected to be 1.8 percent per year. She will have much more than $8,000 in 25 years BUT what would this future amount be if expressed in today’s dollars? a. $34,335 b. $21,981 c. $52,306 d. $12,496 e. $21,839

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate what the amount of money invested would be in 25 years given the interest rate.

Mathematically, that can be written as;

V = P(1 + r)^n

Where V is the future value

P is the present value which is $8,000

r is interest rate which is 6% (6/100 = 0.06)

n is the number of years which is 25 years

Now plugging these values into the equation, we have

V = 8,000(1 + 0.06)^25

V = 8,000(1.06)^25

V = $34,334.97 which is approximately $34,335

We can now proceed to get what this future value would be today if we take the inflation rate into consideration

Mathematically, this can work as follows

P = V(1 + i)^n

Where P is the present value of the money when the inflation is taken into consideration

V is the future value of the money which was calculated from above as $34,335

i is the inflation rate which is 1.8% per annum = (1.8/100 = 0.018)

n is the number of years which is 25

Substituting these values, we have;

P = 34,335/(1 + 0.018)^25

P = 34,335/(1.018)^25

P = 21,980.75

Which is approximately P = $21,981

Suppose that the Federal Reserve decides to increase the money supply with a $300 purchases of Treasury bills. Complete the tables that represent the financial position of the Federal Reserve and commercial banks after this open-market operation. Be sure to use a negative sign for reduced values.For the Federal Reserve, what are assets? What are liabilities?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Treasury bills, Monetary Base ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

(A)...

Assets: $300 (tax bills)  

If it's bought by Federal Reserve, it's going to be the asset portion.

(B)...

Reserves: $300 (Commercial Banking liabilities)  

Based mostly on reserve requirements, banks would then deposit funds to Federal Reserve. All of the lenders will carry through.

(C)...

Treasury Deposits or bills = -$300  

Certain bills would go down by $300 as either a result of Federal Reserve purchases.

(D)...

Bookings or Reserves: + $300  

This would be growing by $300 because of the sale of treasury bills. It won't bring any changes to the aspect of liability.

If researchers add financial treasury obligations with reserves as well as circulating documents, so it becomes a financial basis. Such that the answer given is indeed the appropriate one.

Big data analytics programs (which analyze massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As the use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is: No, it may not decrease the humanity of production in organizations.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term known as ''humanity of production'' refers to that human element that gives to the company its capability of leadership and other human abilities. Moreover, when it comes to the big data analytics those programs would not decrease the humanity of production because in order to create all those programs and in order to read all the information that those programs give and to use it and implement there will be a need of using human capital to complete the whole objective. So therefore that human will be as need as machines.

The total value (debt plus equity) of Wilson Dover Inc. is $500 million and the face value of its 1-year coupon debt is $200 million. The volatility (σ) of Wilson Dover's total value is 0.60, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that N(d1) = 0.9720 and N(d2) = 0.9050. Refer to the data for Wilson Dover Inc. What is the yield on Wilson Dover's debt?

Answers

Answer:

The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the yield on Wilson Dover's debt we would have to calculate first the value of debt as follows:

value of debt=Total value*N(d1)-Debt*e∧-r fx period*N(d2)

value of debt=$500 million*0.9720-$200 million*2.7183∧-0.05*1*0.9050

value of debt=$486 million-$200 million*0.951229*0.9050

value of debt=$486 million-$172.1724 million

value of debt=$313.8276 million

=Total Value-Value of debt

=$186.17 million

The value of debt is $186.17 million

So, to calculate the yield we have to use the following formula:

Yield=(Face Value/current value)∧1/period-1

Yield=($200 million/$186.17 million)∧1-1

Yield=1.074286942-1

Yield=7.42%

The yield on Wilson Dover's debt is 7.42%
