Pool Corporation, Inc., reported in its recent annual report that "In 2010, our industry experienced some price deflation. . . . In 2011, our industry experienced more normalized price inflation of approximately 3.5% overall despite price deflation for certain chemical products.'' This suggests that in some years Pool’s overall inventory costs rise, and in some years they fall. Furthermore, in many years, the costs of some inventory items rise while others fall. Assume that Pool has only two product items in its inventory this year.

Purchase and sales data are presented below.

Required:

1. Compute cost of goods sold for each of the two items separately using the FIFO and LIFO inventory costing methods.

2. Between FIFO and LIFO, which method is preferable in terms of (a) net income and (b) income taxes paid (cash flow)?

Consider each of the following independent and material situations. In each case:

• the financial report date is 31 December 2019;

• the field work was completed on 12 February 2020;

• the directors declaration and the audit report were signed on 19 February 2020; and

• the completed financial report accompanied by the signed audit report were mailed to shareholders on 18 March 2020

A. You are an auditor pf PP Limited (PP), a company specialising in industrial property development. On 10 February 2020, you become aware that a major overseas investor has informed the management of PP of their intention to withdraw their investment in a proposed major development. On the basis of its discussions with the investor and previously pledged funds from them, PP has incurred substantial costs in feasibility studies, structural engineering reports and architectural plans. A significant portion of these costs has been capitalised. The management is dependent on finding a new investor to be able to meet these expenses and to continue with the project.

B. You are the auditor of XY Limited (XY), a manufacturing client. XY has plans to upgrade its manufacturing process and plans to finance this by a sale of property which is superfluous to its needs, situated next to its head office. The property has been subdivided for the purposes of the sale and placed on the market in December 2019. On 25 January 2020, the state government approved a plan for the construction of an express freeway. The plan will result in the appropriation of a portion of the property owned by XY and subdivided for the purpose of sale. Construction of the freeway will begin in late 2020. No estimate of the compensation payment is available.

C. You are an auditor of Q limited (Q), a major public company involved in the property development industry. Prior to signing your audit report you sought a letter of comfort from Q’s bankers that the bank would continue to support Q by providing finance over the coming year. The bank agrees that it would continue to provide finance. It was your view that without such support Q had severe cash flow problems and the financial report would need to be modified with respect to a going concern assumption. On 15 March 2020, the company’s bankers wrote to you advising that the company had breached its loan covenant with the bank in February 2020 and that the loan facility was now due and payable and would not be renewed.

D. You are the auditor of Turbo Limited (Turbo), a professional services client. On 15 January 2020, Turbo settled and paid a personal injury claim to a former employee as the result of an accident that occurred in September 2017. The company had not previously recorded a liability for the claim.

E. You are the auditor of Charge Limited (Charge), an automobile parts manufacturer. On 2 February 2020, Charge agreed to purchase for cash the outstanding shares of Electronic Fuel Injection Limited. The acquisition is likely to double the sales volume of Charge.

Required: For each of the events A to E:

1. Outline the required treatment in the financial report, if any. Justify your answer. (5 X 2 Marks = 10 Marks)

2. Determine whether additional audit evidence needs to be obtained. If so, describe the nature of the audit evidence to be obtained and the audit procedures used to obtain it. (5 X 2 Marks = 10 Marks)

3. If no action is taken by management, determine the most appropriate audit report to be issued.

Vaughn Corp. is a medium-sized corporation specializing in quarrying stone for building construction. The company has long dominated the market, at one time achieving a 70% market penetration. During prosperous years, the company’s profits, coupled with a conservative dividend policy, resulted in funds available for outside investment. Over the years, Vaughn has had a policy of investing idle cash in equity securities. In particular, Vaughn has made periodic investments in the company’s principal supplier, Norton Industries. Although the firm currently owns 12% of the outstanding common stock of Norton Industries, Vaughn does not have significant influence over the operations of Norton Industries.

Cheryl Thomas has recently joined Vaughn as assistant controller, and her first assignment is to prepare the 2020 year-end adjusting entries for the accounts that are valued by the “fair value” rule for financial reporting purposes. Thomas has gathered the following information about Vaughn’ pertinent accounts.

Suppose that you are part of the Management team at Porsche. Suppose that it is the end of December 2019 and a novel coronavirus that causes a respiratory illness was identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The illness was reported to the World Health Organization and there is heightened uncertainty around the Globe. You (as part of the management team) are reviewing Porsche’s hedging strategy for the cash flows it expects to obtain from vehicle sales in North America during the calendar year 2020. Assume that Porsche’s management entertains three scenarios:

Scenario 1 (Expected): The expected volume of North American sales in 2020 is 35,000 vehicles.

Scenario 2 (Pandemic): The low-sales scenario is 50% lower than the expected sales volume.

Scenario 3 (High Growth): The high-sales scenario is 20% higher than the expected sales volume.

Assume, in each scenario, that the average sales price per vehicle is $85,000 and that all sales are realised at the end of December 2020. All variable costs incurred by producing an additional vehicle to be sold in North America in 2020 are billed in euros (€) and amount to €55,000 per vehicle. Shipping an additional vehicle to be sold in North America in 2020 are billed in € and amount to €3,000 per vehicle.

The current spot exchange rate is (bid-ask) $1.11/€ - $1.12/€ and forward bid-ask is $1.18/€ - $1.185/€. The option premium is €0.025, and option strike price is €0.922. Your finance team made the following forecasts about the exchange rates at the end of December 2020:

• bid-ask will be $1.45/€ - $1.465/€ if the investors (and speculators) consider the euro (€) a safe haven currency during the pandemic.

• bid-ask will be $0.88/€-$0.90/€ if the investors (and speculators) consider the U.S. dollar ($) a safe haven currency during the pandemic

5. Assume that the Scenario 2 (Pandemic) took place in 2020 and the U.S. dollar became a safe haven currency during the pandemic. What are your cash flows (profits) if you did not hedge, hedged using forward contracts, and hedged using option contracts?

6. Based on the calculations in Part B, do you believe that it is a good policy to hedge Porsche’s currency exposure? Why?
