I. What are two major controls for sales returns and allowances transactions? What are the control objectives for each?

II. For each of the following situations based on ASC606, indicate the audit evidence that should be obtained to determine whether revenue should be recognized or not in the current period:

The company you are auditing, Morgan Telecom, maintains an inventory of telecommunications equipment. Peaks Telephone Company placed an order for 10 new transformers valued at $5 million, and Morgan delivered them just prior to December 31. Morgan's normal business practice for this class of customer is to enter into a written sales agreement that requires the signatures of all the authorized representatives of Morgan and its customer before the contract is binding. However, Peaks has not signed the sales agreement because it is awaiting the requisite approval by the legal department. Peaks' purchasing department has orally agreed to the contract, and the purchasing manager has assured you that the contract will be approved the first week of next year.

Good Products is a retailer of appliances that offers “layaway” sales to its customers twice a year. Good retains the merchandise, sets it aside in its inventory, and collects a cash deposit from the customer. The customer signs an installment note at the time the initial deposit is received, but no payments are due until 30 days after delivery.

Taylor's Discount Stores is a discount retailer who generates revenue from the sale of membership fees it charges customers to shop at its stores. The membership arrangement requires the customer to pay the entire membership fee (usually $48) at the beginning of the arrangement. However, the customer can unilaterally cancel the membership arrangement and receive a refund of the unused portion. Based on past experiences, Taylor's estimates that 35 percent of the customers will cancel their memberships before the end of the contract.

Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, Montana. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.95 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers—particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner’s daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing. After some discussion, she designed a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below:

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $348,000 which includes the following costs:

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.

Required:

1. Prepare the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.

3. The company recently completed a 800 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N ranch—a 54-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system.

4. The revenue from the Flying N ranch was $191.60 (800 square feet @ $23.95 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

Part 2

Please study the following capital budgeting project and then provide explanations for the questions outlined below:

You have been hired as a consultant for Pristine Urban-Tech Zither, Inc. (PUTZ), manufacturers of fine zithers. The market for zithers is growing quickly. The company bought some land three years ago for $2.1 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $2.3 million on an after-tax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $2.4 million after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the zither market, at a cost of $125,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows:

The zither industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name recognition that PUTZ brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 3,600, 4,300, 5,200, and 3,900 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the name recognition of PUTZ, we feel that a premium price of $750 can be charged for each zither. Because zithers appear to be a fad, we feel at the end of the four-year period, sales should be discontinued. PUTZ believes that fixed costs for the project will be $415,000 per year, and variable costs are 15 percent of sales. The equipment necessary for production will cost $3.5 million and will be depreciated according to a three-year MACRS schedule. At the end of the project, the equipment can be scrapped for $350,000. Net working capital of $125,000 will be required immediately. PUTZ has a 38% tax rate, and the required rate of return on the project is 13%.

Now please provide detailed explanation for the following:

• Explain how you determine the initial cash flows

• Discuss the notion of sunk costs and identify the sunk cost in this project

• Verify how you determine the annual operating cash flows

• Explain how you determine the terminal cash flows at the end of the project’s life

• Calculate the NPV and IRR of the project and decide if the project is acceptable

• If the company that is implementing this project is a publicly traded company, explain and justify how this project will impact the market price of the company’s stock

Provide your explanations and definitions in detail and be precise.
