Sports Inc., a retailer of high-quality activewear, has been considering a number of different expansion opportunities in recent years. One option is to purchase Goodlife Co., a manufacturer and distributor of sporting good equipment. The company's sole shareholder is Martin. Goodlife Co’s manufacturing facility is in Winnipeg, and it has sales and distribution branches in Mississauga, Alberta, and in Montreal.

Sports Inc. is considering the acquisition to expand into this market. However, before moving any further with this idea, Sports Inc. has requested an audit of Goodlife Co.

Sen and Ken Chartered Professional Accountants (SK) have been engaged to perform the year-end audit. You, CPA, are the audit manager on the Goodlife Co. year-end audit and are meeting with Martin to discuss the results for the year.

Martin has brought the company's draft financial statements to your office.

Martin: It has been a difficult year. Most of our customers are in Alberta and Montreal. This year, we began selling into the South America and Argentina. We attended major trade shows in the South America and Argentina early in the year to promote our company and products. It was the first time we had attended these types of events, and the related travel and advertising costs were over $40,000.

We received a number of orders, and in anticipation of the increased demand, we purchased raw materials. Things were looking great and then there was a financial crisis. Demand for sporting equipment fell dramatically. In order to remain competitive, we had to reduce our selling prices; even so, a number of our customers have gone bankrupt or are having significant difficulty. I have been really busy and have not spent much time following up with customers and reviewing their outstanding balances.

At the same time, the bank imposed a new covenant requiring that the debt-to-equity ratio remain below 1.0. To avoid any staff reductions, the administrative staff agreed to take a week off without pay and forgo raises for the year. In addition, although I received a $75,000 bonus last year, I didn't take a bonus this year. Unfortunately, one of our main pieces of manufacturing equipment unexpectedly broke down during the year, and we incurred close to $30,000 in costs to repair it.

Question:

You are beginning the risk assessment for the upcoming audit of Goodlife Co. Perform a year-over-year comparison of key ratios including accounts receivable turnover, inventory turnover, current ratio, gross profit margin, and debt to equity, and identify accounts that are at a risk of material misstatement and would warrant further investigation during the audit, given the changes in ratios and considering the provided case facts. In addition, include a procedure to address the identified risks.

In what ways do advertisers in magazines use sexual imagery to appeal to youth? One study classified each of 1509 full-page or larger ads as "not sexual" or "sexual," according to the amount and style of the dress of the male or female model in the ad. The ads were also classified according to the target readership of the magazine. Here is the two-way table of counts.

(a) Summarize the data numerically and graphically. (Compute the conditional distribution of model dress for each audience. Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(b) Perform the significance test that compares the model dress for the three categories of magazine readership. Summarize the results of your test and give your conclusion. (Use α = 0.01. Round your value for χ² to two decimal places, and round your P-value to four decimal places.)
