The inventory of a large grocery store client is material, and it is the largest current asset on the balance sheet. The cost of inventory items ranges from very small amounts (like individual candy at the checkout line) to larger amounts (like prime meat and specialty deli items). Typical risks for a grocery store are theft and spoilage of inventory. During the second quarter, the client caught three employees in a scheme of stealing produce and meats from the store and selling them, at a discount, to friends and family. Based on an investigation by authorities and store management, the scheme had been operating for about two months.

Required:
Based on the information, evaluate which accounts and assertions are at risk of misstatement.

Answer:

The auditor of the large grocery store can identify the accounts at risk of misstatement to include Inventory account, Cost of Goods Sold account, and Accounts Payable account.  They have some relationships.  A misstatement in the Inventory account will lead to a misstatement in the Cost of Goods Sold, which eventually affects the Net Income.

The auditor should be aware that the assertions that are at risk of misstatement include existence, completeness, accuracy and valuation, and disclosure of Inventory.  Assuming that the pilfering scheme had gone on for more months, the employees could have devised more sinister schemes.

Explanation:

The management of this large grocery store must attest to the assertions of existence, completeness, rights and obligations, accuracy and valuation, and presentation and disclosure with regard to the accuracy of the information contained in the financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.  This implies that its management must declare that it has truthfully measured and presented the financial information about its activities.

Champion manufactures winter fleece jackets for sale in the United States. Demand for jackets during the season is normally distributed, with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 10,000. Each jacket sells for $60 and costs $30 to produce. Any leftover jackets at the end of the season are sold for $25 at the year-end clearance sale. Holding jackets until the year-end sale adds another $5 to their cost. A recent recruit has suggested shipping leftover jackets to South America for sale in the winter there rather than running a clearance. Each jacket will fetch a price of $35 in South America, and all jackets sent there are likely to sell. Shipping costs add additional $5 to the cost of any jacket sold in South America, along with the $5 for holding jackets till the end of the season.

Required:
a. Would you recommend the South American option? Support your decision with calculations.
b. How will the South American option affect production and profitability at Champion?
c. On average, how many jackets will Champion ship to South America each season? (Note: you have already calculated this value in order to get the expected profit for the South American option.

Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $900,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 75,000 machine-hours.

At year-end 2018, Marvel Company total assets were $4.5 million, and its accounts payable were $850,000. Sales, which in 2018 were $5.5 million, are expected to increase by 25% in 2019. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Marvel typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $ 2.25 million in 2018, and retained earnings were $150,000. Marvel has arranged to sell $25,000 of new common stock in 2019 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2019. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 2.5%, and 55% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.

Required:
a. What were Marvel's total long-term debt and total liabilities in 2018?
b. How much new long-term debt financing will be needed in 2019?
