Question 1 (This question is from the Week 3 Tutorial)
You have reviewed the work performed by your assistant, Raymond Snow, on the audit of Tin Ltd for the year ended 30 June 20X8 and you have noted the following two independent matters:
(i) In testing investments in listed securities, Raymond selected all shareholdings with a market value above $200,000 and checked them to the closing market value reported by the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) to determine the net realisable value of each shareholding. The items tested totaled $5,500,000 or 60% of the total balance. Of the items tested, only one error of $110,000 was discovered. Raymond concluded that the error was not itself material, as it was only 2% of the balance tested. He extrapolated this error to the total population and estimated that the error for the total population would be $185,000, which was also immaterial. Therefore, he concluded that the investments in listed securities were fairly stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
(ii) Tin Ltd has 1,000 stock lines that are maintained on a perpetual inventory system. Stock is counted on a cyclical basis so that all lines are covered at least once per year. Raymond attended the March stocktake to observe the counting procedures and conducted 20 test counts from the floor to the client’s count sheets and 20 from the client’s count sheets to the floor. He uncovered two minor discrepancies of one item each, which he considered to be immaterial. The client also uncovered five minor discrepancies between the perpetual records and the actual quantity on hand. None of these discrepancies were adjusted on the perpetual records, as the amounts involved only totaled $50,000 and were considered to be immaterial. Raymond concluded that no further work was considered necessary on stock quantities at year end.
Required:
(a) In your own words, explain what is meant by sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
(b) Explain whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence has been obtained for each of the above situations. Give reasons for your answer.

Internal Control Case Study

Harper Theater is located in Midtown Mall. The cashier’s booth is near the entrance to the theater. Two cashiers are employed. Once works from 1-5 pm, the other from 5-9 pm.   Each cashier is bonded. The cashiers receive cash from customers and operate a machine that ejects serially numbered tickets. The rolls of tickets are inserted and locked into the machine by the theater manager at the beginning of each cashier’s shift.

After purchasing a ticket, the customer takes the ticket to an usher stationed at the entrance to the theater lobby some 60 feet from the cashier’s booth. The usher tears the ticket in half, admits the customer, and returns the ticket stub to the customer. The other half of the ticket is dropped into a locked box by the usher.

At the end of each cashier’s shift, the theater manager removes the ticket roll from the machine and makes a cash count. The cash count sheet is initialed by the cashier. At the end of the day, the manager deposits the receipts in total in a bank night deposit vault located in the mall. The manager also sends copies of the deposit slip and the initialed cash count sheets to the theater company treasurer for verification and to the company’s accounting department. Receipts from the first shift are stored in a safe located in the manager’s office.

Required: using Microsoft Word, answer the following questions and attach the document to this assignment:

  1. Identify the internal control procedures and their application to the cash receipts transactions of the Harper Theater. You will find the Internal Control Procedures. The Internal Control procedures are establishment of clear responsibilities, proper documentation, adequate insurance, separation of assets from custody, separation of duties, and use of technology.  For each Internal Control Procedure, identify any Internal Control Procedures that Harper Theater has in place and/or is missing. Be specific and use at least 300 words for your answer.
  2. If the usher and cashier decide to collaborate to misappropriate cash, what actions might they take? For each action, what internal control might be employed to stop the misappropriation of cash? Be specific and use at least 200 words for your answer.
  3. Use complete sentences and good grammar.

As you might expect, there has been a spirited discussion about which method is most effective in terms of the effectiveness of delivering course content, student and faculty acceptance of different modes of instruction and the cost to the state of using different delivery methods. As a result of this discussion, five questions have arisen that require the use of statistics to answer them. They are:

1. Does student learning as indicated by average grades suffer if they are taught using alternative modes of instruction: traditional in-class teaching, on-line learning, or mixed on-line/in-class method?

2. Do students have a preference for which type of learning to which they are exposed?

3. Is the acceptance of students of on-line methods independent of their majors?

4. Is the proportion of faculty members favoring on-line or mixed delivery the same for all colleges within the university?

5. Does the average amount of additional instructor time required to deliver courses on-line differ according to the type of courses?

- In order to determine which type of instruction students prefer, the university surveyed 620 students studying at Tennessee universities who have been exposed to different types of instruction. The results are shown in the Table below:

Student Preference In-Class On-Line Mixed Total
Prefer 100 105 115 320
Do Not prefer 100 115 85 300
TOTAL 200 220 200 620

Please provide a statistical analysis. You are required to submit the following information:

1.) The null and alternative hypotheses being tested.

2.) The Critical test statistic (F or Chi-Square) from the appropriate table. If it required using the Tukey- Kramer method, show the Q score from the table AND the critical value that you used to make your decisions. Also, specify which mean or means are not equal.

3.) The calculated value that you arrived at and the p-Value.

4.) Your decision, reject or do not reject.

5.) A separate part of the answer must be a memo sheet written in word that answers each of the 5 questions and explains why you answered as you did using the results of your statistical testing.

Case study 5
Ms. Manar is a post graduate from Sultan Qaboos University. Her dream is to be self-employed rather than taking a job with some company. She started with an event management company wherein she organizes conferences, parties, exhibitions, decorations and other events for clients. She recruited a team of 10 people to assist her in event management. Her first assignment is to organize a major automobile exhibition for a leading company in Oman. Ms. Manar and her assistants started working together for over a month. But, Manar’s assistants do not have team spirit as they do not openly communicate with one another.
Manar contacted each individual on the team and told them about their responsibilities on the project. Each of Manar’s assistants gets their tasks completed, but they are not worried about the work of others in the team. If a team member has a problem, no one helps him/her to solve that problem. One day, a team member had an emergency and asked if someone on the team could help her so that she could leave early. No one is ready to help. Hence Manar herself jumped in to assist. This made Manar realize that something is not right with the team. Many others on the team are also talking about getting out of the project. Manar is now afraid if the event would be successful or not as it’s her first project and she will not get any orders in the future if she fails in her first one.

Question 5:

i. Do you think Manar is responsible for the attitude and behavior of her assistants? Give reasons. (3 Marks – Answer in 75 – 100 words)

ii. According to you, what are the reasons for Manar’s assistants to not cooperate with their team members? Discuss any four reasons. (4 Marks – Answer in 100 – 125 words)

iii. How do you think Manar can improve the communication and cooperation between her team
members? Justify your answer.
(3 Marks – Answer in 75 – 100 words)

Assignment #7: One-sample Chi-Square

Directions: Use the Chi-Square option in the Nonparametric Tests menu to answer the questions based on the following scenario. (Assume a level of significance of .05 and use information from the scenario to determine the expected frequencies for each category)

During the analysis of the district data, it was determined that one high school had substantially higher Graduate Exit Test scores than the state average and the averages of high schools in the surrounding districts. To better understand possible reasons for this difference, the superintendent conducted several analyses. One analysis examined the population of students who completed the exam. Specifically, the superintendent wanted to know if the distribution of special education, regular education, and gifted/talented test takers from the local high school differed from the statewide distribution. The obtained data are provided below.

Special Education*

Regular Education

Gifted/Talented

Number of students from the local high school who took the Graduate Exit

17

90

19

Percent of test taking students statewide who took the Graduate Exit

7%

73%

20%

*For purposes of testing, special education includes any student who received accommodations during the test.

  1. If the student distribution for the local high school did not differ from the state, what would be the expected percentage of students in each category?

  2. What were the actual percentages of local high school students in each category? (Report final answer to two decimal places)

  3. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

  4. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

  5. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

  6. What is the reported level of significance?

  7. Based on the results of the one-sample chi-square test, was the population of test taking students at the local high school statistically significantly different from the statewide population?

  8. Present the results as they might appear in an article. This must include a table and narrative statement that reports and interprets the results of the analysis.

    Note: The table must be created using your word processing program. Tables that are copied and pasted from SPSS are not acceptable.
