We held our first meeting on October 25, 2015. All of the team members arrived in business library at 3pm.

By analyzing the year-to-year account balance, in 2013, Income from Operation increased and Operating Expense decreased as promised. For problem B, we chose to calculate cash ratio and current ratio to test Pinnacle’s ability to pay off their short-term debts, accounts receivable turnover to test the liquidity level of their current assets, debt to equity ratio to test their ability to meet their long-term debt obligations, profit margin to test their profitability level. When we started to calculate accounts receivable turnover, we realized we couldn’t come up with an accurate number because we don’t have Pinnacle’s ending accounts receivable balance in 2010 which is also the beginning accounts receivable balance in 2011 in order to calculate the average accounts receivable for year 2011. We had some discussions about how to come up with the closest number as possible. Chen suggested to take the average of changes in 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, but April argues we can’t assume there was an increase from 2010 to 2011 solely based on there were an increase three years in a row from 2011 to 2013. So we decided the closest we could get was just use the accounts receivable account balance in 2011 as the denominator.
For problem C, we decided to use Similar Prior-Period Data analytical procedure. We observed the differences between current year’s balance with that of the preceding year, the differences between the

f) To evaluate the material misstatement in the accounts, I think both of the consolidated income statement and the three financial statements are useful. We need to use the information properly from all the financial statements. However the consolidated income statement is the most useful one. If there is a significant change in an account balance comparing with preceding two years, the auditor will examine whether there a material misstatement exists. For instance, the bad debt expense as a percent of net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009 are 0.56%, 0.70% and 0.69%, respectively. There should

The company’s debt ratios are 54.5% in 1988, 58.69% in 1989, 62.7% in 1990, and 67.37% in 1991. What this means is that the company is increasing its financial risk by taking on more leverage. The company has been taking an extensive amount of purchasing over the past couple of years, which could be the reason as to why net income has not grown much beyond several thousands of dollars. One could argue that the company is trying to expand its inventory to help accumulate future sales. But another problem is that the company’s
