Quick Fix Ltd is a manufacturing company engaged in the production of adhesives. The company has not performed well over the past three financial years.

In order to improve on the poor past profits, the board approved a R1 000 000 advertising promotion during the year ended 31 December 2018 in order to generate increased sales in the future. The advertising promotion took place (and was paid for) during December 2018.

The accountant insists on recognizing the R1 000 000 payment as an asset at 31 December 2018. His reasoning is that future sales will increase as the number of customers grows due to the advertising campaign.

Sweets R Us Pty Ltd. is a large confectionary company that manufactures a range of standard sweet products and some specialty products for the Australian market. Most of the company’s production is in standard chocolate goods and they offer personalised packaging for promotional or fundraising purposes. They also provide uniquely moulded and decorated chocolate items for special events such as grand finals. You have been allocated the role of assessing the controls in the Purchases, Accounts Payable and Payments system, and have obtained the following details:

Raw material ordering process

1. To maintain and control product quality a limited number of trusted suppliers are used.
2. The production manager oversees raw material inventory. Orders are placed based on current production orders and quantities of raw material currently on hand with next day delivery where possible.
3. No formal purchase order system is used.

Raw material warehousing procedures

1. The warehouse personnel are trusted, long-term employees.
2. One of the warehousing staff ensures that all goods received, primarily raw materials, are in good order and signs the couriers’ delivery dockets in acknowledgment of materials received.
3. Movement of in and out of the warehouse is not recorded, but the production manager monitors stock levels and movements daily.

Accounts payable system

1. Supplier invoices are received in the accounts department via email and printed. The details are entered into the accounts payable system by the accounts payable clerk, who then stamps the invoice as processed. The computer system automatically calculates the payment due date based on the supplier's credit terms that have been entered into the system.
2. As there are only a few suppliers each week, the accounts payable clerk validates the outstanding invoices via a phone call with the production manager. The production manager has an excellent memory for what he has ordered, and the deliveries received.
3. The computer system automatically generates a weekly list of invoices due for payment. The accounts payable clerk flags the invoices for cheques to be processed as direct deposits are not used. The system does allow the user to exclude an invoice from the payment run. The accounts payable ledger and general ledger are automatically updated once the payment runs are complete.
4. The cheques are forwarded to the financial controller for signature. Supporting documentation is only attached to the cheques for non-major suppliers. The financial controller calls the production manager to verify the review process (step 2) has taken place, and other payments are verified to the attached invoice. If the financial controller is not available the accounts payable clerk usually has the cheques signed by the marketing manager. The payables clerk avoids asking the CEO to sign cheques as he asks too many questions. Any supporting documentation to the cheque is signed to avoid duplicate payment.
5. Monthly statements are received from the suppliers. However, the accounts payable clerk does not believe statement reconciliations are necessary.

1. Identifies and explains ten (10) control weaknesses associated with the purchases, accounts payable and payments system outlined above.
2. Identifies and explains the account balance assertions for raw material inventory and accounts payable that are most impacted by control weaknesses.
3. Recommends and justifies a control improvement for each of the weaknesses identified in requirement one.

Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 9%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $109 to purchase these supplies. For years, Worley believed that the 9% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown: Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 595,000 7,000 deliveries Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 568,000 8,000 orders Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 336,000 14,000 orders Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 782,000 460,000 line items Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 630,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,911,000 Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $31,000 to buy from manufacturers): Activity Activity Measure University Memorial Number of deliveries 17 28 Number of manual orders 0 44 Number of electronic orders 18 0 Number of line items picked 180 290 Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $31,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

Scholes Systems supplies a particular type of office chair to large retailers such as Target, Costco, and Office Max. Scholes is concerned about the possible effects of inflation on its operations. Presently, the company sells 98,000 units for $70 per unit. The variable production costs are $40, and fixed costs amount to $1,580,000. Production engineers have advised management that they expect unit labor costs to rise by 20 percent and unit materials costs to rise by 15 percent in the coming year. Of the $40 variable costs, 55 percent are from labor and 30 percent are from materials. Variable overhead costs are expected to increase by 25 percent. Sales prices cannot increase more than 10 percent. It is also expected that fixed costs will rise by 7 percent as a result of increased taxes and other miscellaneous fixed charges.

The company wishes to maintain the same level of profit in real dollar terms. It is expected that to accomplish this objective, profits must increase by 8 percent during the year.

Required:

a. Compute the volume in units and the dollar sales level necessary to maintain the present profit level, assuming that the maximum price increase is implemented. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your answer for "Volume in units" to the nearest whole number and round your answer for "Sales" to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

b. Compute the volume of sales and the dollar sales level necessary to provide the 8 percent increase in profits, assuming that the maximum price increase is implemented. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your answer for "Volume in units" to the nearest whole number and round your answer for "Sales" to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

c. If the volume of sales were to remain at 98,000 units, what price change would be required to attain the 8 percent increase in profits? Calculate the new price. (Round intermediate calculations of unit cost and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

National Bank has several departments that occupy both floors of a two-story building. The departmental accounting system has a single account, Building Occupancy Cost, in its ledger. The types and amounts of occupancy costs recorded in this account for the current period follow. Depreciation—Building $ 27,000 Interest—Building mortgage 40,500 Taxes—Building and land 12,000 Gas (heating) expense 3,750 Lighting expense 4,500 Maintenance expense 8,250 Total occupancy cost $ 96,000 The building has 6,000 square feet on each floor. In prior periods, the accounting manager merely divided the $96,000 occupancy cost by 12,000 square feet to find an average cost of $8 per square foot and then charged each department a building occupancy cost equal to this rate times the number of square feet that it occupied. Diane Linder manages a first-floor department that occupies 1,000 square feet, and Juan Chiro manages a second-floor department that occupies 1,800 square feet of floor space. In discussing the departmental reports, the second-floor manager questions whether using the same rate per square foot for all departments makes sense because the first-floor space is more valuable. This manager also references a recent real estate study of average local rental costs for similar space that shows first-floor space worth $30 per square foot and second-floor space worth $10 per square foot (excluding costs for heating, lighting, and maintenance). Required: 1. Allocate occupancy costs to the Linder and Chiro departments using the current allocation method. (Round cost answers to 2 decimal places.)
