Sandhill Holdings Inc., a publicly listed company in Canada, ventured into construction of a mega-shopping mall in Edmonton, which is rated as the largest shopping mall in North America. The company’s board of directors, after much market research, decided that instead of selling the shopping mall to a local investor who had approached them several times with excellent offers that he steadily increased during the year of construction, the company would hold this property for the purposes of capital appreciation and earning rental income from mall tenants. Sandhill Holdings retained the services of a real estate company to find and attract many important retailers to rent space in the shopping mall, and within months of completion at the end of 2017, the shopping mall was fully occupied.

According to the company’s accounting department, the total construction cost of the shopping mall was $50 million. The company used an independent appraiser to determine the mall’s fair value annually. According to the appraisal, the fair values of the shopping mall at December 31, 2017, and at each subsequent year end were:

2017 $50 million
2018 $60 million
2019 $65 million
2020 $61 million


The independent appraiser felt that the useful life of the shopping mall was 20 years and its residual value was $8 million.

Note that the mall’s rental income and expenses would be the same and thus can be omitted from the analysis for this exercise.

Prepare the necessary journal entries for 2018, 2019, and 2020 if it decides to treat the shopping mall as an investment property under IAS 40: Use fair value model. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.)

Eliot Rey, the owner of a publicly held technology company, asked Mary Messup, CPA, to conduct an audit of the company’s records. The financial statements to be audited covered a two-year period. The statements needed to be ready to submit to the SEC by September 30, 2017. Rey also needed to provide the audited financial statements to their bank as part of a large loan application. Messup immediately accepted the engagement and agreed to provide an auditor’s report within one month. Rey agreed to pay Messup her normal audit fee plus a percentage of the loan if it was approved. Messup hired two Sac State accounting graduates (both graduated in May 2017) to conduct the audit. She spent several hours going over what they needed to do. She told the new hires not to spend any time reviewing the client’s system of internal control but to concentrate on checking the mathematical accuracy of the general ledger and summarizing the data in the accounting records that supported Rey’s financial statements. The new hires followed Messup’ instructions. They competed the audit procedures in two days. They did notice that the company failed to include the terms of a large note payable in the footnotes, but they were nervous about talking to Mr. Rey about that. They did talk to Mr. Rey about the fact that although 25% of the accounts receivable were over 120 days old, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts included. Mr. Rey said they shouldn’t be concerned about that. They made a note of his response in the workpapers. They turned over the workpapers to Messup along with the financial statements prepared by the client. Messup gave an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financials.

REQUIRED: For each of the auditing principles listed, identify the action(s) taken (or not taken) by Messup or her assistants that support(s) their compliance with the requirement. 1. Auditors must be technically competent.

2. Auditors must comply with professional ethics.

3. Auditors must use professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism.

4. Auditors must plan work and supervise assistants.

Herr Fenderbender considers himself a great driver. He has just received a Mercedes sports car as a gift from his uncle. His car is worth $90 000, but will have a scrap value of $10 000 in the event of a collision, an event that will occur with a probability of 0.4. He is offered the following insurance policy: In the event of a collision the insurance company will pay Herr Fenderbender $80 000. The insurance company is asking a premium of R = $27 500 which Fenderbender has to pay if the policy is accepted, whether or not there is a collision. Herr Fenderbender has a (von-Neumann Morgenstern) utility function of wealth given by : U= W1/2

A.Should Herr Fenderbender purchase this insurance? Explain carefully.

B.Should the insurance company be offering him this insurance (the insurance company has a lot of customers and hence is risk neutral; i.e. it has utility function

U =x).

C.Repeat A and B for the case where the insurance premium is R = $37 100.

D.Find the range of values of the insurance premium, R, which will be accepted by Fenderbender AND which the insurance company would be willing to offer. E.Suppose now that the insurance company knows that Herr Fenderbender is a good driver but believes that due to the moral hazard problem, after the insurance policy has been purchased the probability that there will be a collision will rise to 0.5. What does the insurance company believe its expected profit from sale of the policy is, and should the insurance company sell Fenderbender that policy? (R = $37 100)
