Controllership in Accounting

Topic:   Revenue & Misrepresentation by Clients

Characters: Rachel Hanson, Senior in CPA firm

Jim Thompson, Owner/manager of Fashion Line

Sharon, part-time bookkeeper of Fashion Line

In addition to the usual mix of compilation, review and audit clients for which Rachel Hunt

serves as a senior in a small office of a regional CPA firm, she has been assigned a new

client that recently engaged the firm. Fashion Line, an incorporated retail outlet, is a thriving

local store. The business is run by a single owner/manager, Jim Thompson, who makes

all major decisions. The business has not previously used the services of a CPA firm. In

addition to preparation of financial statements, the CPA firm will handle tax returns for the

business.

At her Line visit to the client’s office, Rachel is introduced to Sharon, the part-time

bookkeeper who is also a full-time accounting student at the local university. At a

subsequent meeting, Sharon confides to Rachel that she found the job at the beginning of the

semester after an extensive search. Sharon really needs the money to help finance her

education, and feels lucky to have found a good-paying job during the current economic

downturn. Feeling that Rachel is someone she can talk to and get advice from, Sharon

describes a situation that has been on her mind for some time now.

Sharon’s concern relates to the handling of sales revenues. When monies from sales revenues

are counted and deposited on a weekly basis, a chart is filled out with categories carefully

delineating the type of payment: cash, checks, American Express, or Visa/Mastercard.

Sharon’s employer, after depositing the weekly total, brings this chart back with his own

written-in total of the actual amount deposited.

After looking over some of these weekly deposit chats, Sharon noticed that $500 cash was

missing from each deposit. After a more thorough inspection of monthly tax documents that

Jim Thompson has filled out, Sharon noticed that the reported monthly gross revenue was

$2,000 less than what had been actually counted.

The employer is the only person handling the money after it has been counted. He is also the

only one to deposit the money. When Sharon asked Mr. Thompson about revenue not being

reported for tax purposes, he assured her that every dollar of income was reported on the tax

forms. Furthermore, Jim asserted, since Sharon wasn’t the person who signed the forms,

she shouldn’t be concerned.

Client X offers a generous employee compensation package that includes employee stock options. The exercise price has always been equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The corporate controller, John Jones, believes that employee stock options, like all obligations to issue the corporation's own stock, are equity. The new staff accountant, Marcy Means, disagrees. Marcy argues that when a company issues stock for less than current value, the value of preexisting stockholders' shares is diluted. Write a team consensus response of no more than 700 words in which you answer the following requirements: Pretend you are hired to debate the issue of the proper treatment of options written on a company's own stock.

St. Germaine Company manufactures car seats in its Albany plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and testing department. This problem focuses on the testing department. Direct materials are added when the testing department process is 95% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during the testing​ department's process. As work in assembly is​ completed, each unit is immediately transferred to testing. As each unit is completed in​ testing, it is immediately transferred to Finished Goods. St. Germaine Company uses the​ weighted-average method of process costing. Data for the testing department for October 2017 are as​ follows:

a.) Degree of​ completion: transferred-in​ costs, ?%; direct​ materials, ?%; conversion​ costs, 65​%.

b.) Degree of​ completion: transferred-in​ costs, ?%; direct​ materials, ?%; conversion​ costs, 45​%.

Questions:

1.) What is the percentage of completion for​ (a) transferred-in costs and direct materials in beginning​ work-in-process inventory and​ (b) transferred-in costs and direct materials in ending​ work-in-process inventory?

2.) For each cost​ category, compute equivalent units in the testing department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

3.) For each cost​ category, summarize total testing department costs for October 2017​, calculate the cost per equivalent​ unit, and assign costs to units completed​ (and transferred​out) and to units in ending work in process.

4.) Prepare journal entries for October transfers from the assembly department to the testing department and from the testing department to Finished Goods.

Star Videos, Inc., produces short musical videos for sale to retail outlets. The company’s balance sheet accounts as of January 1 are given below.

Because the videos differ in length and in complexity of production, the company uses a job-order costing system to determine the cost of each video produced. Studio (manufacturing) overhead is charged to videos on the basis of camera-hours of activity. The company’s predetermined overhead rate for the year ($40 per camera-hour) is based on a cost formula that estimated $280,000 in manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 7,000 camera-hours. Any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold. The following transactions were recorded for the year:

1. Film, costumes, and similar raw materials purchased on account, $229,000.
2. Film, costumes, and other raw materials issued to production, $230,500 (85% of this material was considered direct to the videos in production, and the other 15% was considered indirect).
3. Utility costs incurred (on account) in the production studio, $92,600.
4. Depreciation recorded on the studio, cameras, and other equipment, $104,400. Three-fourths of this depreciation related to actual production of the videos, and the remainder related to equipment used in marketing and administration.
5. Advertising expense incurred (on account), $143,000.
6. Salaries and wages paid in cash as follows:

7. Prepaid insurance expired during the year, $7,450 (70% related to production of videos, and 30% related to marketing and administrative activities).
8. Miscellaneous marketing and administrative expenses incurred (on account), $13,850.
9. Studio (manufacturing) overhead was applied to videos in production. The company recorded 7,250 camera-hours of activity during the year.
