Before the audit report was signed, the audit team encountered the following situation. Treat each situation independently and assume the remaining financial statements are fine. The audit report was signed on 5 August 2020, The financial statements were signed by the BoD on the same day, which was subsequently released to shareholders on 12 August 2020.

1) A property owned by Cook’s Furniture Ltd was sold to Lidia Preston, the wife of Howard Cook in June 2020 (refer to case description in part A). The property has a market value of four million and was sold at 3.2 million. Management did not disclose this in the financial statement because they believed this was a private matter. The disposal of this asset has been appropriately accounted for on the financial statements (e.g. the asset was removed from PPE and the loss of disposal was correctly recognised as an expense).

2) The subsequent selling price of the ready-made furniture range suggests the inventory valuation as at 30 June 2020 should be written down by $48,000 but management only wrote $38,000 off as per the financial statements because they were confident that they can increase the selling price again in 2021 after people settling back to normality.

3) Carl Cook decided to retire in 2021 due to health reasons, Carl is willing to sell his shareholding to the remaining shareholders. However, the BoD decided to explore the potential of selling the business. By the time to sign the 2020 financial statements, the company has not commenced a negotiation with any potential buyer. The BoD said to the auditor that they may not sell the business if they cannot get a good deal. Carl’s retirement decision is disclosed on the financial statements, but not the intention to sell the business.

REQUIRED:

For each of the above situation:

a) Discuss the audit procedure that the auditor needs to perform in relation to each situation.

b) Explain which audit opinion is appropriate for each situation.

Tony and Suzie purchased land costing $500,000 for a new camp in January 2020. Now they need money to build the cabins, dining facility, a ropes course, and an outdoor swimming pool. Tony and Suzie first checked with Summit Bank to see if they could borrow another million dollars, but unfortunately the bank turned them down as too risky. Undeterred, they promoted their idea to close friends they had made through the outdoor clinics and TEAM events. They decided to go ahead and sell shares of stock in the company to raise the additional funds for the camp. Great Adventures has two classes of stock authorized: 9%, $10 par preferred, and $1 par value common.

When the company began on July 1, 2018, Tony and Suzie each purchased 12,500 shares of $1 par value common stock at $1 per share. The following transactions affect stockholders’ equity during 2020, its third year of operations:

July 2 Issue an additional 110,000 shares of common stock for $9 per share.

September 10 Repurchase 11,000 shares of its own common stock (i.e., treasury stock) for $12 per share.

November 15 Reissue 5,500 shares of treasury stock at $13 per share.

December 1 Declare a cash dividend on its common stock of $129,500 ($1 per share) to all stockholders of record on December 15.

December 31 Pay the cash dividend declared on December 1.

Required:

1. Record each of these transactions.

2. Great Adventures has net income of $147,000 in 2020. Retained earnings at the beginning of 2020 was $137,000. Prepare the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet for Great Adventures as of December 31, 2020.?
