The Stone River Textile Mill was inspected by OSHA and found to be in violation of a number of safety regulations. The OSHA inspectors ordered the mill to alter some existing machinery to make it safer (e.g., add some safety guards); purchase some new machinery to replace older, dangerous machinery; and relocate some machinery to make safer passages and unobstructed entrances and exits. OSHA gave the mill only 35 weeks to make the changes; if the changes were not made by then, the mill would be fined $300,000. The mill determined the activities that would have to be completed and then estimated the indicated activity times, as shown in the table below.

How should Northwest Forest Products report this situation in its current financial statements?arrow_forwardThere is a high chance that our audit work will be disturbed by protesters who will at any moment occupy the two MapleX’s farms located on the lands claimed by the Métis indigenous peoples of Canada. Due to serious safety concerns associated with the protesters, I don’t want anyone from our firm going to these two farms. This means that we will not be able to physically inspect and count of the maple trees at the two occupied farms. In addition, I have a feeling that the AFDA set by the bookkeeper could be materially misstated and therefore the A/R balance presented on MapleX’s financial statements would be incorrect. In a separate memo, please discuss and explain, how each of these two situations (on its own separately), would impact the type of audit report and the opinion that our firm would issue.

- In a recent year, an oil refinery in Texas City, Texas, on the Houston Ship Channel exploded. The explosion killed 14 people and sent a plume of smoke hundreds of feet into the air. The blast started as a fire in the section of the plant that increased the octane of gasoline that was produced at the refinery. The Houston Ship Channel is the main waterway that allows commerce to flow from the Gulf of Mexico into Houston. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality express concern about the release of nitrogen oxides, benzene, and other known carcinogens as a result of blast. Neighbors of the plant complained that the plant had been emitting carcinogens for years and that the regulators had ignored their complaints about emissions and unsafe working conditions.

- An employee at an electrical engineering firm was unhappy about being overlooked for a promotion opportunity and decided to resign. He started working at a competing firm in the same city. The former firm soon realized that their innovative designs in engineering solutions were being made available at the new firm where the employee was now working.

They foundthat although the new chimney was substantially the same size and make as the old one, it wascheaper to build than it would have been to repair the old one. Also, the new chimney can betterventilate the weather, which was not available in the previous one. After the new chimney waserected, the old chimney was demolished.Is any amount allowable as a deduction for the cost of the new chimney?arrow_forward
