Maple Leaf Holdings Limited (“ML”) is a company listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Together with its subsidiaries, ML is engaged in the manufacturing and trading of various candies and chocolates in Hong Kong and the Mainland China. ML sells a wide range of products, from ordinary to high-end. Ordinary products targeting the mass consumer are sold to supermarkets and convenience stores. For high-end products, sales are made to luxury restaurants and hotels. ML also operates its own retail outlets.
In December 2018, ML appointed its first internal auditor, Ms. Cindy Yu, who reports directly to the accounting manager. Cindy is a newly qualified CPA. She joined ML as an accounting assistant in 2012, shortly after obtaining her first degree. In 2016, she was promoted as assistant accounting manager. She was transferred to her present role in December 2018.
Cindy has been focusing her work on the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of operations, mainly in respect of the non-financial controls of ML. She and her team have reviewed the ingredient ordering and warehousing processes in the past twelve months.
Cindy produced an internal audit report summarising her findings and recommendations on where processes could be improved. However, due to time, manpower and resources constraints, she did not maintain much record on her understanding of the ingredient ordering and warehousing processes and details of the work she performed (e.g. what samples were tested).
Some significant recommendations in the internal audit report were:

(1) more disaggregated information and analyses on sales should be generated, prepared and reviewed on a regular basis for better purchase decisions and formulation of effective sales strategies; and

(2) security in the warehouse should be improved including the installation of surveillance cameras inside the warehouse rather than just at the entrance, and having two guards instead of currently only one guard.



Required:
. (a) From the above information, evaluate the effectiveness of ML’s internal audit function.

. (b) Assume you are the external auditor of ML for the financial year ended 31 December 2019:
(i) Discuss the impact of the internal audit findings on your financial statement audit.

(ii) Identify and explain any TWO financial statement assertions you will focus on in your audit.

You are a staff accountant at a higher education institution, Philly College of Business (“the College” or PCB). The lease on the current multifunction copiers the College uses is almost up. The college has decided to replace the current copiers with Canon imageRunner AdvanceC55501 copiers. The following is the information you have been able to gather so far related to renting the copiers. The IT department was able to negotiate the following lease terms to rent the 15 copiers needed.

• The lease is non-cancelable

• 5-year lease term (estimated economic life is also 5-years)

• The local Canon dealer is responsible for all repairs and maintenance on the copiers during the lease term.

• The base rent per copier is $146.93/month. There is an additional charge of $0.0068 per page copied or printed per month.

• The IT department estimates that the College will average 10,000 to 20,000 copies per month per copier.

• The current fair market value of the copiers is $9,190 per copier.

• The copiers will be returned to the local Canon dealer when the lease term is over.

• The unguaranteed residual value is estimated to be $900 at the end of the lease.

Question

The CFO has asked you to prepare an analysis including supporting calculations on the impact to the balance sheet and income statement in each of the next 6 years of a second option related to the copiers - leasing the imageRunner AdvanceC55501copiers. In addition, the CFO would like you to compare the two options (purchase copiers with cash on hand and lease copiers). Your analysis for the CFO should be in the form of a 1-2 page memo plus supporting tables. Assume the lease term on the copiers begins October 31, 2018. At a minimum your supporting tables should include the following. You may also want to include some or all of your tables from part 1 of the project.

a. Lease amortization table (if you determine this would be a finance lease)

b. A schedule of the journal entries for each of the next 6 years, 2018 – 2023 related to the lease

c. A table summarizing the balance sheet and income statement impact in each of the six years (for both options)

d. A table calculating and comparing the present value of the net cash flows for each of the options: purchase with cash on hand and lease the copiers.

Assume the incremental borrowing rate is 6.1%

Q1.In Ethiopia, the apparel sector is considered as one of the priority areas of the government‘s industrial development strategy. However, the sector has faced many challenges to determine product mix. It is confronted with inefficient utilization of resources that makes it difficult to ensure the optimal product mix for maximum profit, which would also fulfil customer needs. Thus, this study focuses on product mix determination based on efficient resource utilization for the Ethiopian apparel sector by considering a garment factory in Ethiopia as a case company. The issue addressed here was to determine the product mix for optimal profit with available resources, using the linear programming technique.

A garment factory in Ethiopia should produce for men’s wear: Polo shirt and basic T-shirt. The data collection procedure was quantitative in nature and relied on face to-face interviews. The relevant information on the amount of resources used per unit of each product during the month is summarized in Table 1 below:

The availability of resources for cutting, sewing and finishing time is 2321, 1050 and 250 minutes respectively.

The minimum market demand and profit earned from each product during the month for the case apparel company are shown in Table 2.
