How are banks and other financial services use technology in predictive analytics, the problems they face and their possible solutions

You are in a reunion of high school classmates. There is much food, and the drinks flow freely. Many of your classmates join the sciences and engineering fields; some have become doctors, others are lawyers, and still other are entrepreneurs. You alone joined the accountancy profession. Consider the following: 1. Gelai, a classmate since grade school (now a doctor) commended on your line of work: " I don't know anything about how an auditor perform his/her work. It seems that there is no scientific approach to the process." She continued, "all I know is that you auditors are on the lookout for fraud...other auditors prepare income tax returns for us professionals." 2. Lotlot, one of your teammates in spelling competition, is now a high-school teacher. She says, "audits? It's not surprising that you became an accountant...auditor...whatever. With all your talents in mathematics..." 3. Owell is now a lawyer. He was the class salutatorian, and has a very competitive nature. He heard Lotlot's remarks and said, "My friend,as class valedictorian you should have joined a more useful profession! Look at me. I serve the public. Look at you... audits? Bah! They are NOT productive. An audit has nothing to do with GNP or the public interest. Rather than create value, auditors like you simply check on someone what someone else has done." Requirement: Each situation illustrates a common misconception about accountants and auditor. Prepare a proper reply to each classmate.

Cavco Industries of Phoenix Arizona produces manufactured housing for the 21st century that rivals the construction and design elements found in traditional site built homes. In business for over 40 years Cavco sells manufactured homes, camping cabins, and park model homes under 400 square feet in size and commercial buildings. The company has several hundred floor plans to choose from or it can customize floor plans to fit the design specifications of the buyer. Sales have risen about 7% annually over the past 3 years.

Cavco relies on lean manufacturing and just in time inventory management techniques at its 3 manufacturing facilities. With thousands of stock keeping units direct materials inventory turns over every week. The most expensive inventory items consist of wood and wood products, steel, drywall abd petroleum based products. There are about 50 different stations in the main assembly lines. On Cavco's production floor. They are fed daily by subsidiary job shops close by such as the in house cabinet making shop and flooring shop. Nothing is ever made to stock so the bills of materials coming from independent dealer orders drive the release of direct materials onto the floor at each station in assembly.

At each plant the manager schedules production so tightly that there is rarely downtime at any station in an assembly line. Efficiency is so consistent that budgeted direct materials and direct manufacturing labor usually match the actual costs incurred at month end. Instead of computing a budgeted overhead allocation rate at the beginning of the year and adjusting at year end the company applies actual plant overhead. This consists of
1-Utilities
2-Engineering
3-Purchasing
4-Plant manager salaries

This is done each month so managers can see how they did and make adjustments before the next month's production activities get too far along. Once each home section is completed it is driven out of the plant by independent shippers title passes to the dealer sales revenue is booked and the home is taken to its destination. With no unsold finished goods in stock at month end the only materials to account for each month are those not yet released into production and those in work in process inventory.

QUESTION 1
Assume Cavco has dedicated one of its manufacturing plants to building camping cabins. Budgeted annual fixed manufacturing costs for this facility are $2,000,000 and include the items listed in the case. The amount will remain the same even though shifts per day and days worked per week may fluctuate. The master budget for 2006 is based on one shift production of 2 camping cabins per day over a 4 day work week. The plant is closed on Mondays for building and equipment maintenance. The company also shuts down production for one week in July and one week at the end of December. Normal capacity utilization is based on one shift production of 2 cabinets per day 5 days per week throughout the year. If every camping cabin built in this plant takes the same amount of time to complete what is the 2006 budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead cost rate per cabin under theoretical capacity, practical capacity, normal capacity utilization, and master budget capacity utilization?

Answer the following questions. Please type using a word processing program and bring a printed copy to class. Write as much or as little as you feel necessary to answer each question to the best of your ability. You may use all available resources to complete this case – e.g., lecture slides, notes, your book, and the Accounting Standards Codification. Collaboration with others in your group is allowed to the extent that it is helpful. How you work together is up to you – however, I encourage everyone in the group to take at least some part for every question. Please turn in only one finished assignment for each group. Use appropriate citations where relevant and according to your professional judgment. For questions requiring use of the codification, please use the following style:

1) Cite the ASC down to the Paragraph. For example, (ASC 330-10-05-01)

2) Copy-paste the paragraph you cite from the codification into the word document.

3) Interpret the codification paragraph into ‘plain English’ as best you can. In other words, how would you explain the appropriate accounting treatment to a colleague, boss, or business partner who has a basic understanding of accounting? You may (and are encouraged to) use debits and credits or t-accounts to illustrate the accounting if appropriate.

After a decade or so in mining, you decide to change jobs because you wanted to do nothing with anything related to tax or tax accounting ever again and in a regulated industry, there was too much of this. A few years later, however, the controller comes to you with a comment letter from the SEC which expresses concern about how your company reports its current and deferred income tax accounts in its financial reports. You look as white as a sheet because you hoped to never do tax accounting again. Find and interpret the appropriate ASC guidance for how to initially measure deferred taxes. (You may need to cite more than one ASC paragraph.)

A subsidiary sold its parent some land at a profit of $10,000 in 2019. The parent still holds the land.

On a working paper prepared to consolidate the accounts of the parent and its subsidiary in 2021, the eliminating entry connected with this land includes a $10,000 debit to:

Logan B. Taylor is a widower whose wife, Sara, died on June 6, 2016. He lives at 4680 Dogwood Lane, Springfield, MO 65801. He is employed as a paralegal by a local law firm. During 2018, he had the following receipts:

Logan inherited securities worth $60,000 from his uncle, Daniel, who died in 2018. Logan also was the designated beneficiary of an insurance policy on Daniel's life with a maturity value of $200,000. The lot in St. Louis was purchased on May 2, 2013, for $85,000 and held as an investment. Because the neighborhood has deteriorated, Logan decided to cut his losses and sold the lot on January 5, 2018, for $80,000. The estate sale consisted largely of items belonging to Sara and Daniel (e.g., camper, boat, furniture, and fishing and hunting equipment). Logan estimates that the property sold originally cost at least twice the $9,000 he received and has declined or stayed the same in value since Sara and Daniel died.

Logan's expenditures for 2018 include the following:

Logan and his dependents are covered by his employer's health insurance policy for all of 2018. However, he is subject to a deductible, and dental care is not included. The $10,500 dental charge was for Helen's implants. Helen is Logan's widowed mother, who lives with him (see below). Logan normally pledges $2,400 ($200 per month) each year to his church. On December 5, 2018, upon the advice of his pastor, he prepaid his pledge for 2019.

Logan's household, all of whom he supports, includes the following:

Helen receives a modest Social Security benefit. Asher, a son, is a full-time student in dental school and earns $4,500 as a part-time dental assistant. Mia, a daughter, does not work and is engaged to be married.

Federal income tax of $4,500 was withheld from his wages.
