Cybernetronics Inc. (Cyber) is a Canadian-owned public company which designs and manufactures communications and control systems. The company's year end is May 31. It is now June 2018.

You, CPA, are the manager for the audit of Cyber and yesterday had met with the treasurer to discuss the year-end audit. The partner responsible for this client has asked you to prepare a report for the client which discusses important financial accounting issues and a memo to him regarding the audit issues you believe are important.

Notes from the Meeting with the Treasurer

1.          In December 2017, Cyber won a $40 million contract to design autonomous robots for use in mining activities. In April 2018, the customer exercised the cancellation clause included in the contract. Cyber has capitalized design and development costs related to this contract. The cancellation clause requires the mining company to pay a penalty of $12 million. The penalty has not yet been paid to Cyber.

In June 2017, Cyber entered into an agreement with a university whereby Cyber received assistance in the development of fuzzy logic software which was to have been used in the robots designed for the contract with the mining company. The agreement requires Cyber to make an annual contribution of $0.5 million to the university for four years. The first payment of $0.5 million was made in March 2018 when the university's work was completed.

Management of Cyber is confident that the technology developed, including the fuzzy logic software, can be applied to future contracts involving the design of robots.

Cyber entered into a five-year lease on June 1, 2017 for facilities dedicated to the design and future manufacture of the robots for the mining company. Management of Cyber is presently negotiating a buy-out of the lease and has offered to make lump-sum payment of $750,000 to the lessor on September 1, 2018. The annual lease payment is $500,000.

The draft balance sheet prepared for Cyber's May 31 year end included capitalized design and development costs in the amount of $8.2 million. This amount includes the $0.5 million paid to the university. The draft income statement includes the $12 million cancellation penalty as 'other income -- gain on cancellation of contract'.

Below are a few paragraphs from Tough’s essay, “Who Gets to Graduate?” Please read each paragraph carefully. Then write a 1-2 sentence summary for each portion of the reading. “Listen” carefully to what Tough is saying and try your best to capture his argument.

…whether a student graduates or not seems to depend today almost entirely on just one factor — how much money his or her parents make. To put it in blunt terms: Rich kids graduate; poor and working-class kids don’t…When you read about those gaps, you might assume that they mostly have to do with ability…But ability turns out to be a relatively minor factor behind this divide.

Tough believes the student

[The University of Texas’] efforts are based on a novel and controversial premise: If you want to help low-income students succeed, it’s not enough to deal with their academic and financial obstacles. You also need to address their doubts and misconceptions and fears. To solve the problem of college completion, you first need to get inside the mind of a college student…“There are always going to be both affluent kids and kids who have need who come into this college,” Laude said. “And it will always be the case that the kids who have need are going to have been denied a lot of the academic preparation and opportunities for identity formation that the affluent kids have been given…”

Tough believes…

When you send college students the message that they’re not smart enough to be in college — and it’s hard not to get that message when you’re placed into a remedial math class as soon as you arrive on campus — those students internalize that idea about themselves.

Tough believes…

To the extent that the Stanford researchers shared a unifying vision, it was the belief that students were often blocked from living up to their potential by the presence of certain fears and anxieties and doubts about their ability. These feelings were especially virulent at moments of educational transition — like the freshman year of high school or the freshman year of college. And they seemed to be particularly debilitating among members of groups that felt themselves to be under some special threat or scrutiny: women in engineering programs, first-generation college students, African-Americans in the Ivy League.

Tough believes…

The negative thoughts took different forms in each individual, of course, but they mostly gathered around two ideas. One set of thoughts was about belonging. Students in transition often experienced profound doubts about whether they really belonged — or could ever belong — in their new institution. The other was connected to ability. Many students believed in what Carol Dweck had named an entity theory of intelligence — that intelligence was a fixed quality that was impossible to improve through practice or study.

Tough believes…
