Depreciation is computed from the first of the month of acquisition to the first of the month of disposition.

Land A and Building A were acquired from a predecessor corporation. Thompson paid $872,500 for the land and building together. At the time of acquisition, the land had a fair value of $76,800 and the building had a fair value of $883,200.

Land B was acquired on October 2, 2016, in exchange for 3,600 newly issued shares of Thompson’s common stock. At the date of acquisition, the stock had a par value of $5 per share and a fair value of $31 per share. During October 2016, Thompson paid $11,000 to demolish an existing building on this land so it could construct a new building.

Certain equipment was donated to the corporation by the city. An independent appraisal of the equipment when donated placed the fair value at $18,400 and the residual value at $2,600.

Machine A’s total cost of $109,000 includes installation charges of $610 and normal repairs and maintenance of $12,500. Residual value is estimated at $5,200. Machine A was sold on February 1, 2018.

The tools are used in the unique construction of homes, warehouses, and multiunit dwellings. The prices range from $1,000 to $5,000 per unit.

During the audit, the audit team has determined the risk assessment of the client. Consequently, the audit has to respond to the assessed risks of material misstatement at the financial statement and assertion levels. The YOUCPA audit team has asked you, the auditor, to prepare a list of actions that you will take to assess the audit risk.

The following information is available in the year just finished:

  • The BakFirn Corporation end-of-year is 12/31/20XX.
  • Sales for the previous year were $10,000,000. Sales this year are coming in at $9,500,000.

  • An initial test of controls in cash receipt indicated a lack of following procedures.
  • The construction industry is in the third year of a downturn. It is forecasted to last two more years.
  • The audit team has defined materiality to be focused on account receivable and inventory with $3,000 being the initial threshold. Net income for last year was $1,000,000.
  • Inventory at the end of the year was $2,500,000.
  • Account receivable at the end of the year was $2,740,000, or 100 DSO.
