Gary Theater is in the Hoosier Mall. A cashier's booth is located near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. One works from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., the other from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashier's shift. After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to a doorperson stationed at the entrance of the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashier's booth. The doorperson tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the doorperson. At the end of each cashier's shift, the theater manager removes the ticket rolls from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. In addition, the manager sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the company's accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the manager's office. (a)Identify the internal control principles and their application to the cash receipts transactions of Gary Theater. (b)If the doorperson and cashier decided to collaborate to misappropriate cash, what actions might they take?

What are the answers? Royals Incorporated leases a piece of equipment to Polar Corporation on January 1, 2017. The lease agreement called for annual rental payments of $8,648 at the beginning of each year of the 3-year lease. The equipment has a fair value of $35,000, a book value of $20,000, and an economic useful life of 5 years after which the residual value will be zero. Both parties expect a residual value of $12,500 at the end of the lease term, though this amount is not guaranteed. Royals set the lease payments with the intent of earning a 6% return, and Polar is aware of this rate. There is no bargain purchase option, ownership of the lease does not transfer at the end of the lease term, and the asset is not of a specialized nature. PV Annuity Due PV Ordinary Annuity PV Single Sum 6%, 3 periods 2.83339 2.67301 .83962 6%, 5 periods 4.46511 4.21236 .74726 (

(b) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Polar in 2017.

(c)Show how the rental payment is determined by lessor (show your works).

(d)Suppose that the residual value is guaranteed by Polar. All other facts being equal, how would Royals change the amount of the annual rental payment?

  1. Audit sampling requires that the auditor collect only a relatively small sub-sample of data, thereby initiating detection risk, i.e., the risk. . . that, based on the sample the auditor takes, the auditor will fail to detect a material misstatement in the financial statements. Data analytics seems to present a panacea to that notion of risk because, by auditing 100% of the sample, detection risk by definition is lower.
    1. It seems like data analytics is the perfect answer to the audit risk problem. So, comment on a variety of reasons that auditors might not be willing to rely on data analytics to drive audit risk down.
    2. Which do you think is costlier: sampling or data analytics? What are the different costs between sampling and data analytics?
    3. What role does cost-benefit play in the choice between employing statistical sampling versus data analytics?
  2. Data analytics enables auditors to audit all transactions, rather than just a sample of transactions.
    1. Do you think that as the use of data analytics increases on audit engagements, the need for sampling will decrease?
    2. What role might the PCAOB or AICPA play in helping auditors determine when and how to incorporate data analytics into the audit?
