Chapter 13, Problem 2CTP
Teagan Fitzgerald is the owner of Newport Jewelry, a store specializing in gold, platinum, and special stones. During the past year, in response to increased demand, Teagan doubled her selling space by expanding into the vacant building space next door to her store. This expansion has been expensive because of the need to increase inventory and to purchase new store fixtures and equipment, including carpeting and state-of-the-art built-in fixtures. Teagan notes that the company’s cash position has gone down and she is worried about future demands on cash to finance the growth.

Richmond, Inc., operates a chain of 44 department stores. Two years ago, the board of directors of Richmond approved a large-scale remodeling of its stores to attract a more upscale clientele. Before finalizing these plans, two stores were remodeled as a test. Linda Perlman, assistant controller, was asked to oversee the financial reporting for these test stores, and she and other management personnel were offered bonuses based on the sales growth and profitability of these stores. While completing the financial reports, Perlman discovered a sizable inventory of outdated goods that should have been discounted for sale or returned to the manufacturer. She discussed the
Situation with her management colleagues; the consensus was to ignore reporting this inventory as obsolete because reporting it would diminish the financial results and their bonuses.
Required:
According to the IMA’s Statement of Ethical Professional Practice, would it be ethical for
Perlman not to report the inventory…
In 2002, Mr. Rollerball started Mighty Mouse, Inc., a small, 75-employee firm that produces and sells wireless keyboards and other devices to vendors through its manufacturing plant in Little Rock, Arkansas. In its first 2 years of business, MM saw a substantial growth in sales and at current capacity was unable to keep up with demand. To compete, MM enlarged its manufacturing facilities.

- Del Rio began Rio Enterprises on January 1 with 200 units of inventory. During the year, 500 additional units were purchased, 500 units were sold, and Del ended the year with 200 units. Del is very satisfied with his first year of business although the cost of replacing his inventory rose continually throughout the year. The 500 units sold for a total of 320,000 and the 500 units purchased to replace them cost 256,000, so his cash account has increased by 64,000. Del is concerned however because he has three obligations yet to meet: taxes, dividends, and his wife. Federal and state income taxes will take 40% of his income. His investors are to receive dividends equal to half of any income after taxes are paid. And finally, Del promised his wife a big trip to Hawaii if she let him quit his job as a professor and start his own business. He promised her hed make at least 50,000 after taxes. That will give us 25,000 after paying off the investors. Del kept fairly good records during the year and knows the specific cost of each inventory unit sold. He has prepared the following table to summarize his purchases and sales. Del has heard that the choice of an inventory cost flow assumption can have a significant effect on net income and taxes. He asks you to show him the differences between the specific identification method and the cost flow assumptions of FIFO, LIFO, and weighted average methods. Review the worksheet FIFOLIFO that follows these requirements. Note that all of the problem data have been entered in the Data Section of the worksheet.arrow_forwardDel Rio began Rio Enterprises on January 1 with 200 units of inventory.

Which inventory cost flow assumption produces the lowest ending cash balance? f. Does the assumption that produces the highest net income also produce the highest cash balance? Explain. g. As you recall, Del originally used the specific identification method in his initial calculations when he projected 51,600 net income. According to Dels reckoning, that should have left him cash of 25,800 (50% of 51,600) after paying his investors. Why would he only have 3,800 left? Explain. h.

- Malone Industries has been in business for five years and has been very successful. In the past year, it expanded operations by buying Hot Metal Manufacturing for a price greater than the value of the net assets purchased. In the past year, the customer base has expanded much more than expected, and the companys owners want to increase the goodwill account. Your CPA firm has been hired to help Malone prepare year-end financial statements, and your boss has asked you to talk to Malones managers about goodwill and whether an adjustment can be made to the goodwill account. How do you respond to the owners and managers?arrow_forwardThe Home Depot is a leading specialty retailer of hardware and home improvement products and is the second-largest retail store chain in the United States. It operates large warehouse-style stores. Despite declining sales and difficult economic conditions in 20X1 and 20X2, The Home Depot continued to invest in new stores. The following table provides summary hypothetical data for The Home Depot. REQUIRED a. Use the preceding data for The Home Depot to compute average revenues per store, capital spending per new store, and ending inventory per store in 20X2. b. Assume that The Home Depot will add 100 new stores by the end of Year +1. Use the data from 20X2 to project Year +1 sales revenues, capital spending, and ending inventory. Assume that each new store will be open for business for an average of one-half year in Year +1. For simplicity, assume that in Year +1, Home Depots sales revenues will grow, but only because it will open new stores.arrow_forwardJW Office Supplies, Inc., is a wholesale distributor of office supplies. It sells pencils and pens, paper goods (including computer paper and forms), staplers, calendars, and other items, excluding furniture and other major items such as copy machines that you would expect to find in an office. Sales have been growing at 5 percent per year during the past several years. Mr. Kay, the president of JW Office Supplies, recently attended a national office supplies convention. In conversations during that convention, he discovered that sales for ABC Office Supplies competitors have been growing at 15 percent per year. Arriving back home, he did a quick investigation and discovered the following: JW Office Supplies customer turnover is significantly higher than the industry average. JW Office Supplies vendor turnover is significantly lower than the industry average. The new market analysis system was supposed to be ready two years ago but has been delayed for more than one year in systems development. A staff position, reporting to the president, for a person to prepare and analyze cash budgets was created two years ago but has never been filled. Mr. Kay has called on you to conduct a systems survey of this situation. You are to assume that a request for systems development has been prepared and approved. The information system at JW Office Supplies is much like that depicted in Chapters 10 through 16. Make and describe all assumptions that you believe are necessary to solve any of the following: a. What are the specific tasks of this systems survey? b. Indicate specific quantifiable benefits and costs that should be examined in assessing the economic feasibility of any solutions that might be proposed. Explain how you would go about quantifying each benefit or cost. c. Propose and explain three different scopes for the systems analysis. Use a context diagram to describe each scope alternative.

- Diamond Computers, which is owned and operated by Dale Diamond, manufactures and sells different types of computers. The company has reported profits every year since its inception in 2002 and has applied for a bank loan near the end of 2021 to upgrade manufacturing facilities. These upgrades should significantly boost future productivity and profitability. In preparing the financial statements for the year, the chief accountant, Sandy Walters, mentions to Dale that approximately $80,000 of computer inventory has become obsolete and a write-down of inventory should be recorded in 2021. Dale understands that the write-down would result in a net loss being reported for company operations in 2021. This could jeopardize the company’s application for the bank loan, which would lead to employee layoffs.
