I work for a company that uses accrual-based accounting, not that I'm directly dealing with the accrual accounts. I have an understanding of my role, accounts receivable, and how it plays into accruals. However, it does appear people outside of finance do sometimes struggle with the concept and with helping to keep finance aware of actions that need reporting, such things like offering a customer a special promotion for future sales not yet recorded.
When reading about the comparisons between US and International accounting practices, I again reflect on my personal experiences at work. I have heard of people within our organization refer to GAAP but not International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). We have three international offices, three different entities within our organization. I will be asking around at work to determine if the company prepares two separate financial statements due to having both have US and international business.
Our finance department is just finishing our yearly audit. I've learned the audit is heavily reviewing our US-based practices but also reviewing of our international. My question is how does the audit process differ between US and International, especially when the company being audited consist of both?

Answer the questions associated with each of the following scenarios.  The companies in each scenario are publicly traded, have a calendar year and entered into the agreements in 2018.

1.         Company A entered into a two-year contract with a customer to maintain the    customer’s fleet of delivery vehicles.  Company A receives payments from the            customer at regularly scheduled intervals during the contract and provides             monthly maintenance services needed to keep the vehicles in working order.       How should Company A recognize revenue on this contract? What is the         justification for your answer?

2.         Company B enters into a contract to manufacture equipment for a customer.  The equipment is manufactured at Company B’s plant and is under Company B’s control while it is being built.  The customer makes a 20% deposit at the inception of the contract.  Periodic payments from the customer over the life of the contract equal an additional 30% of the contract price.  The remaining 50% of the contract price is due upon   delivery of the equipment. Company B expects the customer to make all required payments. If the customer terminates the contract, Company B is entitled to keep all amounts received but has no claim for further payments.   How should Company B recognize revenue on this contract? What is the justification for your answer?

3.         Company C enters into a contract to build a building for a customer.  The             contract price is $3,000,000 and contains incentive bonuses of $25,000 for    eachweek the building is completed prior to the target date for completion.  There      are also $25,000 penalties for each week work goes on beyond the target date.     The customer is a governmental entity which is required to get all new buildings            inspected prior to taking possession. The contract contains a $50,000 bonus if the             building passes the initial inspection.  Explain how Company C should determine     the transaction price associated with this contract.

4.         Company D enters into a contract with a customer to sell Products W, Z, Y, and Z             for a price of $150,000.  None of these products are sold together in smaller        bundles. Company D regularly sells product W for $40,000 and Product X for          $50,000.  Company D is aware that other companies sell Product Y for $20,000.         Product Z is a new product and there are no other companies selling this          product.  Company D knows that Product Z costs them $40,000 to produce and their normal markup on other similar products is 25% of cost.  How should           Company D allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations of this      contract? What is thejustification for your answer?

Production and Direct Labor Cost Budgets

Two-Leg Company manufactures slacks and jeans under a variety of brand names, such as Dockers^® and 501 Jeans^®. Slacks and jeans are assembled by a variety of different sewing operations. Assume that the sales budget for Dockers and 501 Jeans shows estimated sales of 21,610 and 38,720 pairs, respectively, for May. The finished goods inventory is assumed as follows:

Assume the following direct labor data per 10 pairs of Dockers and 501 Jeans for four different sewing operations:

a. Prepare a production budget for May. Prepare the budget in two columns: Dockers^® and 501 Jeans^®. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

b. Prepare the May direct labor cost budget for the four sewing operations, assuming a $12 wage per hour for the inseam and outerseam sewing operations and a $18 wage per hour for the pocket and zipper sewing operations. Prepare the direct labor cost budget in four columns: inseam, outerseam, pockets, and zipper.

Finch Boot Co. sells men’s, women’s, and children’s boots. For each type of boot sold, it operates a separate department that has its own manager. The manager of the men’s department has a sales staff of nine employees, the manager of the women’s department has six employees, and the manager of the children’s department has three employees. All departments are housed in a single store. In recent years, the children’s department has operated at a net loss and is expected to continue to do so. Last year’s income statements follow:

Required

1. a. Calculate the contribution margin. Determine whether to eliminate the children’s department.

2. b-1. Calculate the net income for the company as a whole with the children's department.

3. b-2. Confirm the conclusion you reached in Requirement a by preparing income statements for the company without the children’s department.

4. c. Eliminating the children’s department would increase space available to display men’s and women’s boots. Suppose management estimates that a wider selection of adult boots would increase the store’s net earnings by $38,000. Would this information affect the decision that you made in Requirement a?

On January 1, 2018, Sans Serif Publishers leased printing equipment from First Lease Corp. First LeaseCorp purchased the equipment from Compudec Corporation at a cost of $479,079.

The lease agreement specifies six annual payments of $92,931 beginning 1/1/18, the beginning of the lease, and at December 31 from 2018 through 2022. On December 31, 2023, at the end of the 6 year lease, and at the end of the six-year lease term, the equipment is expected to be worth $75,000, and San Serif has the option to purchase it for $60,000 on that date. The residual value after 7 years is zero. First LeaseCorp routinely acquires electronic equipment for lease to other firms. The interest rate in these financing arrangements is 10%.  

Exercise of Purchase Option (12/31/23)

Sans Serif Publishers (Lessee) Dr. Interest Expense (10% * $54,542) $5,458

Dr. Lease Payable (difference) $54,542  

Cr. Cash $60,000

CompuDec Corporation (Lessor)

Dr. Cash (exercise price) $60,000

Cr. Lease Receivable (account balance) $54,542

Cr. Interest revenue (10% * outstanding balance) $5,458

($54,542 is the balance of lease payable after all periodic lease payments have been made)

Since the lessee takes the BPO at the end of the lease, from the lessor's point of view, how come the journal doesn't have a debit entry saying "cash $60,000" and the lessor having a credit journal entry saying "equipment $60,000). This question comes from page 859 and 860 illustrations 15-14 and 15-14A in the Intermediate Accounting 9th edition by the authors Spiceland, Nelson, and Thomas.

Gina Ripley, president of Dearing Company, is considering the purchase of a computer-aided manufacturing system. The annual net cash benefits and savings associated with the system are described as follows:

The system will cost $9,000,000 and last 10 years. The company’s cost of capital is 12 percent.

The present value tables provided in Exhibit 19B.1 and Exhibit 19B.2 must be used to solve the following problems.

Required:

1. Calculate the payback period for the system.
years

Assume that the company has a policy of only accepting projects with a payback of five years or less. Would the system be acquired?
No

2. Calculate the NPV and IRR for the project. Round your IRR answers to the nearest whole percentage value (for example, 15.6% rounds to 16% and should be entered as "16" in the answer box). If the NPV is negative, enter your answer as a negative value.

Should the system be purchased—even if it does not meet the payback criterion?
Yes

3. The project manager reviewed the projected cash flows and pointed out that two items had been missed. First, the system would have a salvage value, net of any tax effects, of $1,000,000 at the end of 10 years. Second, the increased quality and delivery performance would allow the company to increase its market share by 20 percent. This would produce an additional annual net benefit of $300,000. Recalculate the payback period, NPV, and IRR given this new information. (For the IRR computation, initially ignore salvage value.) Round your IRR answers to the nearest whole percentage value (for example, 15.6% rounds to 16% and should be entered as "16" in the answer box). If the NPV is negative, enter your answer as a negative value.

Does the decision change?
Yes

Suppose that the salvage value is only half what is projected. Does this make a difference in the outcome? Does the salvage value have any real bearing on the company's decision?
No - in this case the decrease in salvage value is not enough to change the decision
