- It is February 16, 2020, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation's financial statements for 2019 (which will be issued in March 2020). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenports accounts receivable is 50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss for 2019 might be appropriate. Jim replies, Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Corporation, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2020, so lets wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year. Our 2019 income and year-end working capital are not that high; our creditors and shareholders wouldnt stand for lower amounts than they already are. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, prepare a response to Jim Davenport regarding this issue.arrow_forwardSoon after December 31, 2019, the auditor requested a depreciation schedule for trucks of Jarrett Trucking Company, showing the additions, retirements, depreciation, and other data affecting the income of the company in the 4-year period 2016 to 2019, inclusive. The following data were in the Trucks account as of January 1, 2016: The Accumulated DepreciationTrucks account, previously adjusted to January 1,2016, and duly entered in the ledger, had a balance on that date of 16,460. This amount represented the straight-line depreciation on the four trucks from the respective dates of purchase, based on a 5-year life and no residual value. No debits had been made to this account prior to January 1, 2016. Transactions between January 1,2017, and December 31, 2019, and their record in the ledger were as follows: 1. July 1, 2016: Truck no. 1 was sold for 1,000 cash. The entry was a debit to Cash and a credit to Trucks, 1,000. 2. January 1, 2017: Truck no. 3 was traded for a larger one (no. 5) with a 5-year life. The agreed purchase price was 12,000. Jarrett paid the other company 1,780 cash on the transaction. The entry was a debit to Trucks, 1,780, and a credit to Cash, 1,780. 3. July 1, 2018: Truck no. 4 was damaged in a wreck to such an extent that it was sold as junk for 50 cash. Jarrett received 950 from the insurance company.

- Your audit client, PEW Company, followed up on its plan to expand its operations in 2018. The entity’s plan was to start the construction of its new building beginning of March and start its operations in the new site beginning of November. PEW, however, projected at the beginning of the year that its funds will not be enough to start the construction come March. So, on January 1, 2018, the entity obtained a loan from Bank for $50 million, specifically to fund the construction. The loan is due December 31, 2020, and the entity will be paying 12% interest every December 31. Since the construction will not commence until beginning of March, and the construction will not require a one-time outflow of cash, the entity decided to invest the unused proceeds in an investment facility that yields 0.5% return monthly. The unused proceeds will be invested at the beginning of each month. The first investment was made on January 1, 2018.
