Thornby Inc. completed its fiscal year on December 31. The auditor, Kim Holmes, has approached the CFO, Brad Potter, regarding the year-end receivables and inventory levels of Thornby Inc. The following conversation takes place:
Kim:
We are beginning our audit of Thornby Inc. and have prepared ratio analyses to determine if there have been significant changes in operations or financial position. This helps us guide the audit process. This analysis indicates that the inventory turnover has decreased from 5.1 to 3.8, while the accounts receivable turnover has decreased from 12.5 to 9. I was wondering if you could explain this change in operations.
Brad:
There is little need for concern. The inventory represents computers that we were unable to sell during the holiday buying season. We are confident, however, that we will be able to sell these computers as we move into the next fiscal year.

In conducting her audit for the year ended June 30, 2019, the corporations CPA determined that the system of internal control was good. Accordingly, she observed the physical inventory at an interim date, May 31, 2019, instead of at year-end. The CPA obtained the following information from the general ledger: The CPAs audit disclosed the following information: Required: In audit engagements in which interim physical inventories are observed, a frequently used auditing procedure is to test the reasonableness of the year-end inventory by the application of gross profit ratios. Prepare in good form the following schedules: 1. Computation of the gross profit ratio for 11 months ended May 31, 2019 2. Computation by the gross profit ratio method of cost of goods sold during June 2019 3.

Does the change in inventory turnover and the days sales in inventory from 20Y3 to 20Y4 indicate a favorable or an unfavorable trend?arrow_forwardInventory Valuation You are engaged in an audit of Roche Mfg. Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. To reduce the workload at year-end, Roche took its annual physical inventory under your observation on November 30, 2019. Roches inventory account, which includes raw materials and work in process, is on a perpetual basis, and it uses the first-in, first-out method of pricing. It has no finished goods inventory. The companys physical inventory revealed that the book inventory of 60,570 was understated by 3,000. To avoid distorting the interim financial statements, Roche decided not to adjust the book inventory until year-end except for obsolete inventory items. Your audit revealed this information about the November 30 inventory: Pricing tests showed that the physical inventory was overpriced by 2,200. Footing and extension errors resulted in a 150 understatement of the physical inventory. Direct labor included in the physical inventory amounted to 10,000. Overhead was included at the rate of 200% of direct labor. You determined that the amount of direct labor was correct and the overhead rate was proper. The physical inventory included obsolete materials recorded at 250. During December, these materials were removed from the inventory account by a charge to cost of sales. Your audit also disclosed the following information about the December 31, 2019, inventory. Total debits to certain accounts during December are: The cost of sales of 68,600 included direct labor of 13,800. Normal scrap loss on established product lines is negligible. However, a special order started and completed during December had excessive scrap loss of 800 which was charged to Manufacturing Overhead Expense. Required: 1. Compute the correct amount of the physical inventory at November 30, 2019. 2. Without prejudice to your solution to Requirement 1, assume that the correct amount of the inventory at November 30, 2019, was 57,700. Compute the amount of the inventory at December 31,2019.arrow_forward
