David R. and Ella M. Cole (ages 39 and 38, respectively) are husband and wife who live at 1820 Elk Avenue, Denver, CO 80202. David is a regional sales manager for Wren Industries, a national wholesaler of plumbing and heating supplies, and Ella is a part-time dental hygienist for a chain of dental clinics.
David is classified by Wren as a statutory employee with compensation for 2016 (based on commissions) of $95,000. He is expected to maintain his own office and pay for all business expenses from this amount. Wren does not require him to render any accounting as to the use of these funds. It does not withhold Federal and state income taxes but does withhold and account for the payroll taxes incurred (e.g., Social Security and Medicare). The Coles are adequately covered by Wren's noncontributory medical plan but have chosen not to participate in its § 401(k) retirement plan.
David's employment-related expenses for 2016 are summarized below.
| Airfare | $8,800 |
| Lodging | 5,000 |
| Meals (during travel status) | 4,800 |
| Entertainment | 3,600 |
| Ground transportation (e.g., limos, rental cars, and taxis) | 800 |
| Business gifts | 900 |
| Office supplies (includes postage, overnight delivery, and copying) | 1,500 |
The entertainment involved business meals for purchasing agents,
store owners, and building contractors. The business gifts
consisted of $50 gift certificates to a national restaurant. These
were sent by David during the Christmas holidays to 18 of his major
customers.
In addition, David drove his 2014 Ford Expedition 11,000 miles for
business and 3,000 for personal use during 2016. He purchased the
Expedition on August 15, 2013, and has always used the automatic
(standard) mileage method for tax purposes. Parking and tolls
relating to business use total $340 in 2016.
When the Coles purchased their present residence in April 2013, they devoted 450 of the 3,000 square feet of living space to an office for David. The property cost $440,000 ($40,000 of which is attributable to the land) and has since appreciated in value. Expenses relating to the residence in 2016 (except for mortgage interest and property taxes; see below) are as follows:
| Insurance |
$2,600 |
| Repairs and maintenance |
900 |
| Utilities | 4,700 |
| Painting office area; area rugs and plants (in the office)* | 1,800 |
| *Treat as a direct office in home expense. |
In terms of depreciation, the Coles use the MACRS percentage tables applicable to 39-year nonresidential real property. As to depreciable property (e.g., office furniture), David tries to avoid capitalization and uses whatever method provides the fastest write-off for tax purposes.
Ella works part-time as a substitute for whichever hygienist is ill or on vacation or when one of the clinics is particularly busy (e.g., prior to the beginning of the school year). Assumed that Ella is an employee (not an independent contractor). Besides her transportation, she must provide and maintain her own uniforms. Her expenses for 2016 appear below.
| Uniforms | $690 |
| State and city occupational licenses | 380 |
| Professional journals and membership dues in the American
Dental Hygiene Association |

Ella's salary for the year is $42,000, and her Form W–2 for the year shows income tax withholdings of $4,000 (Federal) and $1,000 (state) and the proper amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Because Ella is a part-time employee, she is not included in her employer's medical or retirement plans.
Besides the items already mentioned, the Coles had the following receipts during 2016.
| Interest income— | ||
| State of Colorado general purpose bonds | $2,500 | |
| IBM bonds | 800 | |
| Wells Fargo Bank | 1,200 | $ 4,500 |
| Federal income tax refund for year 2015 | 510 | |
| Life insurance proceeds paid by Eagle Assurance Corporation |
200,000 | |
| Inheritance of savings account from Sarah Cole | 50,000 | |
| Sales proceeds from two ATVs | 9,000 |
For several years, the Coles' household has included David's divorced mother, Sarah, who has been claimed as their dependent. In late November 2016, Sarah unexpectedly died of coronary arrest in her sleep. Unknown to Ella and David, Sarah had a life insurance policy and a savings account (with David as the designated beneficiary of each). In 2015, the Coles purchased two ATVs for $14,050. After several near mishaps, they decided that the sport was too dangerous. In 2016, they sold the ATVs to their neighbor.
Additional expenditures for 2016 include:
| Funeral expenses for Sarah | $ 4,500 | |
| Taxes— | ||
| Real property taxes on personal residence | $6,400 | |
| Colorado state income tax due
(paid in April 2016 for tax year 2015) |

In 2016, the Coles made quarterly estimated tax payments of $1,400 (Federal) and $500 (state) for a total of $5,600 (Federal) and $2,000 (state).
Relevant Social Security numbers are:

Conch Republic Electronics Part 1
Conch Republic Electronics is a midsized electronics manufacturer located in Key West, Florida. The company president is Shelley Couts, who inherited the company. When it was founded over 70 years ago, the company originally repaired radios and other household appliances. Over the years, the company expanded into manufacturing and is now a reputable manufacturer of various electronic items. Jay McCanless, a recent MBA graduate, has been hired by the company's finance department.
One of the major revenue-producing items manufactured by Conch Republic is a smart phone. Conch Republic currently has one smart phone model on the market, and sales have been excellent. The smart phone is a unique item in that it comes in a variety of tropical colors and is preprogrammed to play Jimmy Buffett music. However, as with any electronic item, technology changes rapidly, and the current smart phone has limited features in comparison with newer models. Conch Republic spent $750,000 to develop a prototype for a new smart phone that has all the features of the existing smart phone but adds new features such as WiFi tethering. The company has spent a further $200,000 for a marketing study to determine the expected sales figures for the new smart phone.
Conch Republic can manufacture the new smart phones for $215 each in variable costs. Fixed costs for the operation are estimated to run $6.1 million per year. The estimated sales volume is 155,000, 165,000, 125,000, 95,000, and 75,000 per year for the next five years, respectively. The unit price of the new smart phone will be $520. The necessary equipment can be purchased for $40.5 million and will be depreciated on a seven-year MACRS schedule. It is believed the value of the equipment in five years will be $6.1 million.
As previously stated, Conch Republic currently manufactures a smart phone. Production of the existing model is expected to be terminated in two years. If Conch Republic does not introduce the new smart phone, sales will be 95,000 units and 65,000 units for the next two years, respectively. The price of the existing smart phone is $380 per unit, with variable costs of $145 each and fixed costs of $4.3 million per year. If Conch Republic does introduce the new smart phone, sales of the existing smart phone will fall by 30,000 units per year, and the price of the existing units will have to be lowered to $210 each. Net working capital for the smart phones will be 20 percent of sales and will occur with the timing of the cash flows for the year; for example, there is no initial outlay for NWC, but changes in NWC will first occur in Year 1 with the first year's sales. Conch Republic has a 35 percent corporate tax rate and a required return of 12 percent.
Shelley has asked Jay to prepare a report that answers the following questions.
Conch Republic Electronics Part 2
Shelley Couts, the owner of Conch Republic Electronics, had received the capital budgeting analysis from Jay McCanless for the new smart phone the company is considering. Shelley was pleased with the results, but she still had concerns about the new smart phone. Conch Republic had used a small market research firm for the past 20 years, but recently the founder of that firm retired. Because of this, she was not convinced the sales projections presented by the market research firm were entirely accurate. Additionally, because of rapid changes in technology, she was concerned that a competitor could enter the market. This would likely force Conch Republic to lower the sales price of its new smart phone. For these reasons, she has asked Jay to analyze how changes in the price of the new smart phone and changes in the quantity sold will affect the NPV of the project.
Shelley has asked Jay to prepare a memo answering the following questions.
QUESTIONS
5.How sensitive is the NPV to changes in the price of the new smart phone?
6.How sensitive is the NPV to changes in the quantity sold of the new smart phone?

Evaluation and testing of controls at Hales Ltd
Tyrone has provided a narrative of controls over inventory at Hales Ltd and would like you to provide some advice on making the preliminary control risk assessment. Hales is a distributor of haircare products, including shampoos, conditioners and styling products throughout Australia. Hales uses an on-line ordering system. Hales does not manufacture any goods in house, instead, an inventory of raw materials is kept, with manufacturing being outsourced to other companies. Hales has around 35 suppliers and 15 manufacturers. These companies have proven to be reliable in the past. Tyrone has made the following notes about three particular elements of the inventory system.
Purchase of raw materials
Purchase orders are generated by the computer when the inventory level of a particular material falls below 75% of what was used in the previous month. Purchase orders include the date, the suppliers name and the raw material required. Three copies of the purchase order are created. The first copy goes to the warehouse where it is used to enable the following up of overdue orders. The second copy is filed by the accounts clerk by order of date and the third copy goes to the supplier. Upon receipt of materials, barcodes on the delivery packages are scanned into the computer system. A two part receiving report is then generated. The first part is matched to the purchase order by the warehouse manager. The second is sent to the accounts clerk who files it. If the scanning of barcodes does not match data on the master file then the process is stopped.
Procedures for finished goods
When finished goods fall below 65% of the previous months sales, production orders are triggered. Production orders include a date, the manufacturers name, the raw materials needed and the volume of finished goods required. Two copies of the production order are generated. The first copy is sent to the raw materials warehouse where it is used as a picking slip by the warehouse staff. It is then included with materials which are sent to the manufacturer. The second copy is filed by the production manager by order of date. When finished goods arrive at Hales, barcodes on the delivery packets are scanned. A two part receiving report is generated, with the first copy being matched to the production order by the production manager and the second copy being filed by the accounts clerk. As with materials purchases, if the scanning of barcodes does not match the codes on the master file then the process is stopped.
Changes to the master file
The inventory master file contains information on the volumes of inventory on hand including barcode information and locations within the warehouse. The master file also has details of approved suppliers and manufacturers. Orders can only be made to suppliers and manufacturers on the master file. Changes to the master file can be made by the production manager. This applies to both raw materials and finished goods. To make changes the production manager completes an amendment form which is then kept as a record of any changes made.
Other information
There are separate warehouses, staff and procedures in place for the raw materials and finished goods. The selection of suppliers of raw materials and manufacturers is done automatically by the computer based on the latest price as per the last invoice and delivery time. Password access to the computer permits the following:
• Raw materials store staff have access to purchase order printing and goods received notes printing for materials.
• Finished goods store staff have access to goods received notes printing for finished goods.
• The production manager has access to production order printing and master file changes.
• The acounts clerk has access to master file changes.
Question 4
In relation to Hales Ltd:
• The weaknesses in the internal controls for each of the three aspects of the inventory system identified (raw materials, finished goods and changes to the master file).
• An assessment of the implications of each of the weaknesses you have identified.
• Three tests of control JDM’s IT audit division could perform to assist Tyrone with verifying the effectiveness of the internal controls (assuming that JDM will be performing tests of control).
• Two Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) that Tyrone could request the IT auditors run to assist him in testing the valuation of inventory.
