The following are independent situations for which you will recommend an appropriate audit report: 1. Subsequent to the date of the financial statements as part of his post-balance sheet date audit procedures, a CPA learned that a recent fire caused heavy damage to one of a client’s two plants; the loss will not be reimbursed by insurance. The newspapers described the event in detail. The financial statements and footnotes as prepared by the client did not disclose the loss caused by the fire. 2. During the course of his audit of the financial statements of a corporation for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the statements, a CPA is refused permission to inspect the minutes of board of directors’ meetings that document significant decisions of the board. The corporation secretary instead offers to give the CPA a certified copy of all resolutions and actions involving accounting matters. 3. A CPA is engaged in the audit of the financial statements of a large manufacturing company with branch offices in many widely separated cities. The CPA was not able to count the substantial undeposited cash receipts at the close of business on the last day of the fiscal year at all branch offices. As an alternative to this auditing procedure used to verify the accurate cutoff of cash receipts, the CPA observed that deposits in transit as shown on the year-end bank reconciliation appeared as credits on the bank statement on the first business day of the new year. He was satisfied as to the cutoff of cash receipts by the use of the alternative procedure. 4. On January 2, 2020, the Retail Auto Parts Company received a notice from its primary supplier that effective immediately, all wholesale prices will be increased by 10 percent. On the basis of the notice, Retail Auto Parts revalued its December 31, 2019, inventory to reflect the higher costs. The inventory constituted a material proportion of total assets; however, the effect of the revaluation was material to current assets but not to total assets or net income. The increase in valuation is adequately disclosed in the footnotes. 5. A CPA has completed her audit of the financial statements of a bus company for the year ended December 31, 2019. Prior to 2019, the company depreciated its buses over a 10-year period. During 2019, the company determined that a more realistic estimated life for its buses was 12 years and computed the 2019 depreciation on the basis of the revised estimate. The CPA has satisfied herself that the 12-year life is reasonable.The company has adequately disclosed the change in estimated useful lives of its buses and the effect of the change on 2019 income in a note to the financial statements. 6. E-Lotions.com, Inc., is an online retailer of body lotions and other bath and body supplies. The company records revenues at the time customer orders are placed on the website, rather than when the goods are shipped, which is usually two days after the order is placed. The auditor determined that the amount of orders placed but not shipped as of the balance sheet date is not material.

b. State the level of materiality as immaterial, material, or highly material. If you cannot decide the level of materiality, state the additional information needed to make a decision.

Problem 5-25 Prepare and Interpret Income Statements; Changes in Both Sales and Production; Lean Production [LO5-1, LO5-2, LO5-3]

Starfax, Inc., manufactures a small part that is widely used in various electronic products such as home computers. Operating results for the first three years of activity were as follows (absorption costing basis):

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Sales $ 1,000,000 $ 800,000 $ 1,000,000
Cost of goods sold 740,000 520,000 785,000
Gross margin 260,000 280,000 215,000
Selling and administrative expenses 220,000 190,000 220,000
Net operating income (loss) $ 40,000 $ 90,000 $ (5,000)

In the latter part of Year 2, a competitor went out of business and in the process dumped a large number of units on the market. As a result, Starfax’s Sales dropped by 20% during Year 2 even though production increased during the year. Management had expected sales to remain constant at 50,000 units; the increased production was designed to provide the company with a buffer of protection against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of Year 3, management could see that inventory was excessive and that spurts in demand were unlikely. To reduce the excessive inventories, Starfax cut back production during Year 3, as shown below:

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Production in units $ 50,000 $ 60,000 40,000
Sales in units 50,000 40,000 50,000

Additional information about the company follows:

  1. The company’s plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing expenses (direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $4.00 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead expenses total $540,000 per year.  
  2. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product on the basis of each year’s production. That is, a new fixed manufacturing overhead rate is computed each year.
  3. Variable selling and administrative expenses were $3 per unit sold in each year. Fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $70,000 per year.
  4. The company uses a FIFO inventory flow assumption.

     

Starfax’s management can’t understand why profits more than doubled during Year 2 when sales dropped by 20%, and why a loss was incurred during Year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels.

Required:

1. Prepare a contribution format variable costing income statement for each year.

2a. Compute the unit product cost in each year under absorption costing. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

2b. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating income (loss) figures for each year.

5b. If Lean Production had been used during Year 2 and Year 3 and the predetermined overhead rate is based on 50,000 units per year, what would the company's net operating income (loss) have been in each year under absorption costing? (Losses should be indicated by a minus sign.)
