Greener Grass Fertilizer Company plans to sell 250,000 units of finished product in July and anticipates a growth rate in sales of 5 percent per month. The desired monthly ending inventory in units of finished product is 80 percent of the next month’s estimated sales. There are 200,000 finished units in inventory on June 30. Each unit of finished product requires 5 pounds of raw material at a cost of $1.75 per pound. There are 780,000 pounds of raw material in inventory on June 30.
Required:
Compute the company’s total required production in units of finished product for the entire three-month period ending September 30. (Round all intermediate calculations and your final answer to the nearest unit.)
Independent of your answer to requirement (1), assume the company plans to produce 680,000 units of finished product in the three-month period ending September 30, and to have raw-material inventory on hand at the end of the three-month period equal to 25 percent of the use in that period. Compute the total estimated cost of raw-material purchases for the entire three-month period ending September 30.

Case Study 2 – Auditing ACCT3000 (Semester 2, 2019)
You are an Audit Senior currently planning the 30 June 20X9 audit
of Technology Limited, an Australian-owned company that produces
and exports computer chips to China. At a recent planning meeting
with Technology Limited’s senior staff, you obtained the following
overview of this year’s operations:
Tight checks by Australian custom officials have delayed several
shipments of computer chips. These delays have angered Chinese
customers who are threatening to deduct 20% from the amounts owing
as compensation for lost production time.
One of Technology Limited’s customers, Blue Chip Limited, is
claiming that the latest batch of computer chips it received was
found to be faulty. Blue Chip Limited is refusing to pay its
account, which is allegedly seven months overdue. Technology
Limited has claimed to have launched an investigation into the
allegations, but as yet not been able to substantiate them.
Technology Limited has suffered significant cash flow problems
because another major customer, Creative Limited (Creative), is
experiencing financial difficulties. As a result, Creative is
taking well over 120 days to pay outstanding amounts, despite
Creative’s terms of trade being payment within 30 days. Creative
makes up 40 per cent of Technology Limited’s sales and the board
has been reluctant to take any action that might adversely affect
those sales. Consequently, Technology Limited has had to increase
its dependency on its line of credit, and this has caused it to
temporarily breach the debt to equity ratio required in its loan
covenant with Big Bank Limited.
One of Technology Limited’s major suppliers went bankrupt one month
ago, causing major product shortages. To overcome the problem,
Peter James, the husband of the finance director, Natalie James,
provided electronic components used in the production of computer
chips to Technology Limited through his private company Norton
Limited. Norton Limited demands payment in $US prior to the
electronic components being supplied. There is no formal agreement
in place with Peter James, however, the goods are being provided at
competitive prices. You are concerned about the electronic
components that Peter James’ company is supplying, because his
products are new to the market and you have heard some of
Technology Limited’s staff complaining that they are of poor
quality.
Due to increased competitive pressure, Technology Limited has
recently moved the manufacture of some of its computer chips to
Bangladesh. Technology Limited saves around 25 per cent in costs
compared to the equivalent Australian made items. However, the
manufacturing process takes longer and on a few occasions late
delivery from Bangladesh has resulted in lost sales.
Last month, a protester suffered a broken leg, allegedly because he
was hit by a company truck. The protester is now suing Technology
Limited for damages, claiming the contractor was in fact an
employee of Technology Limited at the time of the accident, and was
acting on Technology Limited’s instructions. Technology Limited is
fighting the case and appears to have a reasonable chance of
winning; however, the adverse publicity being generated is making
the company nervous about its sales in the future.
During the period, the Australian dollar has remained steady
against the Chinese Yuan, although it fell by about 3% against the
US dollar. Debtors are invoiced in $US at the time of shipment, and
payment is received in $US one month after the shipment is
delivered. It takes around six weeks for the charter vessels to
travel from Technology Limited’s shipyard at Bigmantle Bay to
China. A recent downturn in the Chinese economy is affecting
forward orders, which have fallen by 15%.
Required:
Prepare a memorandum to the audit manager, outlining your risk
assessment relating to Technology
Limited. When making your risk assessment:
(a) Identify two (2) balance sheet accounts from the information
provided that are subjected
to an increase in audit risk. Briefly explain what factors increase
the audit risk associated
with the two (2) account balances identified. In your explanation,
please mention the key
assertion(s) at risk of material misstatement and the components of
the audit risk model
affected for each account balance identified.
(b) Identify how the audit plan will be affected and recommend
specific audit procedures to
address the risks associated with each account balance
identified.

Decision on Accepting Additional Business
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 162,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 124,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $103 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 19,000 tires for $86.55 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials | $39 |
Direct labor | 14 |
Factory overhead (70% variable) | 24 |
Selling and administrative expenses (30% variable) | 21 |
Total | $98 |
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 5% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $6 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $104,500.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors. If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". If required, round interim calculations to two decimal places.
