COVID-19: The impact on Audits The Corona Virus (COVID-19) is already impacting South Africa in various ways and many businesses are faced with operational difficulties. However, entities must remember that the restrictions resulting from the virus, will also impact financial reporting requirements and increase the focus on certain areas during audits. Going concern Management of an entity are required to provide the auditor with their assessment of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The assessment should take into account all available information about the future and cover at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period. It may be difficult to make a meaningful Base Case economic forecast, let alone a plausible downside economic scenario. In this highly uncertain environment, going concern assessments will be more difficult for entities to make, and more companies will need to report a material uncertainty related to going concern. The objectives of the auditor are: • to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding, and conclude on, the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the presentation of financial statements; and • to conclude on whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The conclusion reached by the auditor may have a significant impact on the audit opinion.

Required:
Discuss the potential impact of Covid-19 on the possible audit opinions that can be issued by external auditors.

Lehman Pottery Company manufactures clay molded pottery on an assembly line. Its standard costing system uses two cost categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Finishing Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production.

Data for the Assembly Department for August 2019 are:

Work in process, beginning inventory: 0 units

Units started during August 450 units

Work in process, ending inventory: 300 units

Direct materials (100% complete)

Conversion costs (60% complete)

Costs for August: Costs for Assembly:

Direct materials $58,000

Conversion costs $45,000

Using the 5 step format in the Textbook and solutions manual, prepare the Production Cost Worksheet using the Weighted Average Method.

Round to 2 digits when calculating the Cost per Equivalent Unit (Example $28.58)

Comm Devices (CD) is a division of Worldwide Communications, Inc. CD produces restaurant pagers and other personal communication devices. These devices are sold to other Worldwide divisions, as well as to other communication companies. CD was recently approached by the manager of the Personal Communications Division regarding a request to make a special emergency-response pager designed to receive signals from anywhere in the world. The Personal Communications Division has requested that CD produce 11,700 units of this special pager. The following facts are available regarding the Comm Devices Division.

For each of the following independent situations, calculate the minimum transfer price, and determine whether the Personal Communications Division should accept or reject the offer.

(a)

The Personal Communications Division has offered to pay the CD Division $115 per pager. The CD Division has no available capacity. The CD Division would have to forgo sales of 9,360 pagers to existing customers in order to meet the request of the Personal Communications Division. (Note: The number of special pagers to be produced does not equal the number of existing pagers that would be forgone.)

b. The Personal Communications Division has offered to pay the CD Division $150 per pager. The CD Division has no available capacity. The CD Division would have to forgo sales of 15,600 pagers to existing customers in order to meet the request of the Personal Communications Division.

Ekon owns a small tow-truck business that responds to state patrol requests to tow cars involved in wrecks, as well as to private business requests from customers at various auto repair shops and individuals with stalled autos. Ekon’s business is open 24/7 for 365 days a year. He is starting to see too many repairs on his three trucks, which either means that he loses business or must divert a truck from another area. He is now trying to consider whether it is best to continue use of the current trucks or whether he needs to invest some money in new trucks. Using the steps for the process of capital decision-making, create an outline with sub-steps that include questions Ekon can use to guide his investigation or considerations of buying new trucks.

To help reduce the risk involved in capital investment, a process is required to thoughtfully select the best opportunity for the company.

The process for capital decision-making involves several steps:

1. Determine capital needs for both new and existing projects.
2. Identify and establish resource limitations.
3. Establish baseline criteria for alternatives.
4. Evaluate alternatives using screening and preference decisions.
5. Make the decision.

The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports—the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 63 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below:

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,800 per month plus $44 per course plus $3 per student. The company’s sales should average $860 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 63 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 57 students. The actual operating results for September appear below:

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
